Premier League

Big Sarge · 07-18-2013, 03:30 PM

Well the Premier League is coming to NBC. Any suggestions on which team to support? I am leaning towards Arsenal, but Manchester United stock is traded on the NYSE. I think it would be great to own stock in your team.

Thoughts? Words of wisdom?

NBC is dead to me.

West Ham.
For no better reason than that my Dad's family were West Ham, so I am too.
And then the street I lived in in London (after I left the pub) was pretty much at the end of the street from Upton Park.

Also, no-one could ever call you a glory-hunter if you support West Ham.
If you admit it, they'll assume you are a dedicated follower of football and you can make as many gaffes as you like and will be forgiven.

West Ham are currently bottom of the league table!

City or United

You should go Jersey shopping pick colors you like then defend your choice. Tottenham has Panda colors...

monster · 07-19-2013, 08:39 PM

Griff · 07-19-2013, 09:20 PM

Sundae · 07-20-2013, 03:57 AM

What is this? I check the broadcast tv for a baseball game and find English Premier on NBC and Bundesliga on Fox. Where were you dudes in my childhood?

In your childhood American broadcasting was protecting children from bad words, tits, and soccer.

Check out the greatest story never told, AFC Wimbledon.

Quote:

So, okay: In May of 2002, the English Football Association gave the owners of a club called Wimbledon F.C. permission to move 70 miles away, to a town called Milton Keynes. Despite fervent protests from Wimbledon fans, the FA decided that it was “not in the wider interests of football” to have a club based in Wimbledon.

This happens all the time in American sports — the Brooklyn Dodgers become the LA Dodgers, the Baltimore Colts became the Indianapolis Colts — but it doesn’t happen in England, where football teams are not franchises but rather community assets. For many Wimbledon fans, to lose their club was to lose their community. As one protest banner read, “A club is for life, not just for profit.”

Despite the defiant graffiti and protests, it appeared Wimbledon would be without a football club until a group of supporters decided they would just start a team. Of course, there were some initial challenges — for instance, none of them had any experience running a football club, and they also had no uniforms, no sponsors, no coaches, and no players
