Motherwell Synthonia
My home town and the team I support is Motherwell FC, the 3rd best team in Scotland.
The Synthonia part is a bit more interesting .... I now live in North East England. One of the local football teams is Billingham Synthonia, known for being the only club in England to be named after an agricultural fertiliser, Synthonia being a contraction of "synthetic ammonia". Told you it was interesting ......
So Motherwell Synthonia reflects my home town and where I live now.- Willoughby Kipling
Queens Park Stone Age
As anyone who has heard of the band can guess, it's mosty because I'm a big Queens of the Stone Age fan. There's not really much more to it than that sadly.
I'm not so fond of QPR, but it kinda worked well with the name!- David Hand
Waukesha 1834
Waukesha 1834 was a name I came up with by taking the city of my birth, Waukesha (not where I live anymore despite what my profile says) and 1834, the date Waukesha was first inhabited by European settlers - at least according to Wikipedia.- Marshall "Elvis" Bussen
AFC Owls of Laughter
This name is one my old fantasy football team names. As a Sheffield Wednesday (The Owls) fan I always tried to make a pun on Owls of... (Howls of...). In the Beta I was Owls of Joy but as I did so badly I changed to Laughter as my team causes Howls of Laughter from all who see them...- Ed Bott
Grabimbyda Scrufoviznek
I wanted a name that sounded like a real club. To me viznek is a real club now and its name is in the realms of spartak and other spikey sounding eastern european/russian sides, but I wasn't christened Scott nor Problems and just as that is wordplay so is my team name. For the non English speakers out there, a common phrase for an aggressive approach to an opponent is to 'grab him by the scruff of his neck'.
Fittingly, the club began as an aggressive side with 3 technically limited but physical and tough tackling centre midfielders and full backs with no attacking ability whatsoever. 9 players grabbing scruffs and Mario Balotelli masking the true horror of it all. Thanking you.- Scott Problems
Halewood in Brighton.
While at uni our football team purchased some kits off ebay and they arrived with Halewood school of football printed on the front. As a result of this we changed our name to match our kits, Since we left and disbanded a few of us started up new teams in the places we now live and carrying on the spirit if our youth play for Halewood in (enter city name here). So i carried on this tradition now that I live in brighton and created a team on FML.- Reuben Westwood
Relegation Fodder
When I was at school, the programming section of my Computing A-level required us to write a program in Pascal. At the time I was a huge fan of Championship Manager (now Football Manager) so I wrote a football management game titled "Relegation Manager" .. I spent hours inputting all the players of the time and giving each a rating for GK,DEF,MID,ATT, and a few other things (more like Premier Manager than Championship Manager).
I put together a simple match engine to play around with those stats and to round it off, in true Championship Manager style, I put a few cheat codes into the game -- one let you start off with my world all star team -- the cheat code was triggered by re-naming your starting team to "Relegation Fodder" -- all your club's players were released and instead you got a squad made from my favourite players outside of England.-Dave Parker
Eintracht Mind
Did a search for some amusing team names along the lines of 'Obi Wan - Kenobi nil' or 'Dyslexia Untied' and came accross Eintracht Mind. I got it straight away (Ein = one, tracht sounds like track, hence I have a One Track Mind, but at the same time Eintracht is a common German team name, which translates roughly to United e.g. Eintracht Frankfurt).
Given that I spent about 5 years living in Germany and have a German wife I thought it was quite appropriate to go with something with a German theme. My team colours also represent this (although that's just what I tell my wife to keep her happy, in reality they are also the colours of my favourite team, Partick Thistle ;)).- David Johnson
Mongiat Rovers
Mine's based on the team myself and some friends attempted to create in our younger days (we had one training session which ended in fight) which was christined Mongiat Rovers (Hader's Hawk's was another suggestion). So I'm attempting to take my team where we should have gone if our one training session hadn't ending in anarchy and we'd had more than nine players.- Tim Mongiat
Folkestone Eagles
Quite simple really - I live in a town called Folkestone (anyone been here would know it's kind of rubbish lol). The Eagles bit was quite random to be honest, when I was siging up for FML beta last year I was on my laptop in the living room and watching a TV programe about Eagles, birds of prey, so I thought "wey hey!! lets have Folkestone Eagles".
Since then I have kept the same team name-James Bambridge
