Soccer Question Options

[Hoodstock]

Ed and Dangum,

I do not follow soccer at all but I've noticed that Ed has had a soccer player in his signature for a while and Dangum has had one forever as an icon.

I was seriously wondering who they were and why you chose them? I honestly have no clue about who they are.

Premier League is the TOP league in England. And yeah, worst teams get relegated to the league below, best teams get promoted to the league above (unless its the Premier League as, as said, TOP league). There's no finals or anything for PL, but there are play-offs for the leagues below. That's where the teams who didn't quite do enough to get promoted automatically have a knock out competition to take the final promotion slot.

I'm supporting United in the final, even though I'm a Liverpool fan and those two teams are big, big enemies. But I'm a strange football fan - I don't follow the rules. I'm particularly supporting United player (and ex-Liverpool star) Michael Owen, though it's unlikely he'll even get on the pitch.

Well, I'm an Arsenal supporter and have been since I was 4 years old!

It was really difficult watching the Champions League Final as I despise both the teams who made it to the final.

I have to concede tho, that Barcelona definitely are the best club team in the world at the moment - playing some awesome football. The jewel in their crown is undoubtedly Lionel Messi, and he is just immense.

It is also worth mentioning that the fact I am so bitter toward the final is that Barcelona actually knocked Arsenal out in the 2nd round, even though Arsenal beat them in the home leg of the tie! We lost 4-3 on aggregate, and I think had we knocked them out, we'd have gone all the way!

As for Man Utd, they are just our annual rivals - who we beat 1-0 on the 1st of May, so yeah, I was hopeful that if Barca and Man Utd are the best 2 teams out there, my team having beaten both would've should've could've been a lot more consistent and won a major trophy this year - something they haven't done since 2005! aaargh!

Anyhow, Pokey, Tottenham are Arsenal's biggest rivals as both clubs are from North London and are neighbours who traditionally hate each other. I know hate is a strong word, but ask any Gooner (Arsenal fan nickname) and they will tell you so. It is a rivalry that grows with time as Arsenal fans constantly remind the Tottenham ones about who is the most successful of the two.

Oh well, 2 months now without football - sucks.
