Colinjb Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 Perhaps you can clear something up for me then. Why is it called Armenia Bielefeld, when the town is just called Bielefeld and Armenia is another COUNTRY? From wikipedia: "DSC Arminia Bielefeld (full name: Deutscher Sportclub Arminia Bielefeld e. V.; also known as "Die Arminen" or "Die Blauen" is a German sports club from Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia. Arminia offers the sports of Football, Field hockey, Figure skating and Cue sports. The club has 11,124 members and the club colours are black, white and blue. Arminia‘s name derives from the Cheruscian chieftain Arminius, who defeated a Roman army in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it called Armenia Bielefeld, when the town is just called Bielefeld and Armenia is another COUNTRY? Check the spelling, Arminia Bielefeld as opposed to the country Armenia By the way I didn't give their full title, it's DSC (Deutscher Sport-Club) Arminia Bielefeld.

Shame no english team hasn't named themselves after Boudica.... ....On second thoughts... AFC Boudica Ipswich/Norwich/Colchester. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it!

Bailey Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 Aston Villa for me. A good, young side with a number of up and coming English players. Plus I rate Martin O'Neil as a manager.

Saint Martini Posted 15 January, 2009 Share Posted 15 January, 2009 Of the Kiel variety Worn my GBA shirt many times to SF/SW training As you might know GBA and Ajax (one of my second teams) used to have a cooperation agreement. The cooperation ended a few years ago when Ajax grew tired of making ends meet at GBA and not getting that much rewards. But now all of a sudden the rewards are coming. There are currently 3 former GBA players in the Ajax first team and they've sold quite a few of them for some cash as well over the years (Vandamme, de Mul). Maybe they decided to pull the plug just a bit too early. Although I'm quite sure there is a lot of resentment against Ajax among the GBA supporters.

I have a soft spot for Norwich similar size club and challenges, good loyal fans and always enjoyed my away days there (although not at the expense of us going down - hopefully we will both stay up) .. .. plus from the start of this season only Leicester City as I wish NP all the best and have backed them at 6/1 to win the league.
