Well we keep finding more and more fans, garlad you are just adding to the group. So let's keep all football related content in this thread since we are small group of fans who actually follow we can't make threads that only one person will reply. Anyways Scott, Baliey, Dattebayo and myself all follow pro football. The same people in addition to Bravesfan and jrocca have/play FIFA09.

To answer your question from the other thread, yes I do follow. I don't have a particular team in the EPL, but I enjoy watching the games. However I am liking Liverpool this year, I think if they don't win it now they won't in a long time! they are finally reaching that talent threshold and it's their time! Torres is in a fantastic level and Benitez is having no issues with players so what else can I say? ManU is finally losing grip. Chelsea is a mess I think, they keep buying players and more players that bring a huge ego and that's why the teams is so inconsistent! the egos that team has will not let them find their rhythm. Arsenal has a relatively young team that will only get better and I keep reading everywhere that they might lose Fabregas this next summer....

I used to watch plenty of the Spanish league, but I lost GolTV which used to show all the games every weekend. Fox Sports channel now shows the EPL and the Serie A Italian league which is not bad, but not the same.

Bale is going back to premier league in summer, ancheloti Will get sacked too! Juventus better team over 2 legs, will be interesting final, attack against defence, looking forward to it!
 
It is always sad when teams get relegated. I really felt for Hull, I like Steve Bruce and they had a few good players.

Then on the flip side, newcastle managing to stay up, it's sad such a big team that Newcastle once was. But the nicest moment for me was seeing Jonás Gutiérrez scoring the real decider for newcastle, honestly couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Such a brave and inspirational guy fighting cancer and then to help Newcastle stay up, lovely.

Also well done to Preston they played brilliantly today and got promoted. Awesome hattrick by Beckford. Seeing the players and fans so happy was lovely to watch.

Then seeing my own Chelsea getting the trophy was great but I'm sad Drogba is leaving again :(

Found it very hard to watch Newcastle today nerves are shot!.Jonas was inspirational, no surprise he got man of the match, I'm glad it was hull that went down, role reversal from last time but I'm sure they will come straight back up!

I backed beckford to get 1st goal so in the end turned out to.be a great day for me

Norwich to win playoff

Totally agree,

Norwich just won 2 nil in playoff final, backed Jerome for first goal lol,

Haha, I've had a really good year with first goal scorers, backed klose @6/1 in Rome derby if he clicks will be 5 in a row
yeah im pretty good in 1st scorers , its accas i lose my money in , needed boro to score to keep my both teams to score going , would have all been going on lazio game and a dutch game later on. ohh well , i guess thats it for this season on 1st scorers , untill europa cup final haha
 
Ya Europa league final I've backed bacca for first goal and sevilla to win
haha i was gonna say bacca 1st goal , great minds think alike , im gonna take a chance on benteke 1st goal fa cup , i know its a long shot but backing the villa for my buddy paul @PKAVFC , maybe do sanchez too
 
I fancy benteke too but I think villa will find it hard due to the drop in form arsenal obviously favourites but remember what Birmingham City done in a cup final and Wigan to man City, anything can happen lol

All the pundits are writing us off already. Like the did for the Semi.

They did the same before we beat Man U in 1994 final and a certain Bayern Munich in 1982 European Cup Final :)

Losing against Southampton and Burnley were "one eye on the final" scenario's

We can match most offensive teams in the premier league, but have a very shaky back four.

I'm still having us winning 2-1. I believe! :)

Don't get me wrong I want villa to win its just the fact arsenal are in better form

Dont worry mate, didnt take that the wrong way :)

Arsenal I think will always be favourites. Much prefer being the underdog.

What encourages me is Arsenal are known to bottle it in pressure games and play better football when nothing to play for.

What I love about the cup is the form book gets thrown out of the window- it's all about who wants it more.

Our fans will eclipse the gooners in volume and atmosphere, but no doubt the bias bbc will edit it to hear the arsenal fans :rolleyes: That's one criticism with the "big four" only sing when they are winning ;)
