What is it with all these teams that have 'FC' in their names?

[Timmy Tee]

Even REAL clubs that have city, town, united, etc. have FC after their name in the UK. Here in Spain it tends to be FC before the name or CD Club Deportivo (Sporting club). There is also AFC - Association Football Club, from where the term soccer comes.

I like a bit of tradition.

My main team Fc Barmalaganet, an amalgamation of my two favourite teams, Barnet and Malaga, reflected in the team colours and the badge.

My experimental team, lower level, different server, is Wobbly FC, because it sounds silly.

I love beating teams called Real Madrid, I adore beating teams called Galatasaray or Manchester United.

Yes I know that every team is technically a 'FC' in the UK but when you look at the league tables you don't see the 'FC' printed on the team unless theres an exception, Like AFC Wimbledon to distinguish from the old Wimbledon and Chester FC to distinguish from the old defunct Chester City.

Normally thats placed in the league tables as 'Bournemouth' since its been AFC Bournemouth for many years.

If you are playing football yes

I agree with you July. The 'FC' tag is pretty useless as ALL teams have it. I see many Sunderland supporters just abreviate their name to SAFC and expect people to know who they're talking about, but the same initials also apply to Southampton.

Incidentally, talking of Bournemouth, I wish they'd kept their original name, as it was a bit out of the ordinary. Originally called: Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic.

[ProVeN]

Hah... i tried to use 1.FC ProVeN when i started but as the dot is not allowed i used Real ProVeN instead.
One of my friends came up with "SV Hackepeter", simple but awesome, always gives me a good laugh when i watch the live games.
