I'm here in Illinois but I still watch 4 or 5 live games a week. I'm originally from Wigan so always look for them but I enjoy watching Man Utd play, so far this season I have every game they have played on DVD.

What is all this hogwash I'm hearing? 
There are only 3 sports:
-Football (American...is there another?!)
-Hockey
-Golf

Ok four if you include virtual badminton, but there are WAY too many injuries the classify this as a sport, more like a masochistic  slaughter-feast

Ok yea I'm joking..

I never knew why Soccer never kicked in throughout the states.  Too man low scores, not enough violence or not enough drama? 
With golf, many guys can say Ooo yea that WAS nice because they can related directly.
Football, well it speaks for itself
Hockey , so does this.  The hits, the glory of the score, the beautiful plays STUFF by an excellent goal tender.

But soccer...just...always seemed SO slow moving for me. Dunno.  Like watching golf if I didn't golf I guess.

Man U , and Aresenal.  Only thing I hate about football is when you push someone, they go flying in the air,and lie on the ground like their wounded or something.  I'm watching american hockey right now. missing teeth and blood. They play to win. If I was english, I probably would of played rugby, till i got nailed by a brickwall. ouch. :rofl

Man Utd !!!pah !!!!
For a real football team look no futher than the Mighty COBBLERS!!!!!!Northampton town !!
The strongest team in the league , thats because they are usually at the bottom of the table holding it up .They get any higher than middle of the table they get nose bleeds from the altitude  :rofl

There are only 3 sports:
-Football (American...is there another?!)  <--Should be called Throwball
-Hockey     <--we already watch UFC why bother with this
-Golf   <--great to play not to watch


corrected.

Not a fan of Futbol, but I have been forced to watch it several times. I had an agreement with the ex that I would watch her soccer without complaint if she would watch my baseball with the same courtesy.

Nothing specific against it, its just not my game. I also loathe basketball and hockey- different games for different folks.

Yeah how many more chances for Barton, I can't believe that big Sam is even looking at him.

I support  Pompey  / Portsmouth. 

Whilst we should be safe from relegation this year things could get tricky next season.  Newcastle believe themselves to be a big club so it will be cool to see them get relegated.

Plus it will annoy Trev  :)

havent been to many away matches 

did go to see bristol city vs pompey pre season friendly quite a few years ago now,  the likes of Lua Lua being abysmal  :lol.   seems a long time ago now.  The south of england needs more top flight clubs.  Thrila's Plymouth and Bristol city for the premiership! 

Poor old southampton won't be going anywhere sadly  :devil.

I don't really have a favorite team. I like to watch several of them that play fast tempo with some great passing. But I kill for the remote whenever Eto'o is playing. I love the way he plays and have his 22 minute montage of goals to watch before I go and play myself :) .

 i hope NEWCASTLE  doesnt drop. As far as joey   i say let his arse go.   And BEANPOLE CROUCH  not a good fit at POMPEY imo.     I catch myself yelling at the TV for the players i have on my EPL fantasy team especially Lampard since i get double pts for what he racks up.
