I read today it was done between the clubs they're just working on a deal with his reps. 34 million pounds I believe is between the clubs. I like that when Martinez went to United for close to 60 million.

Another vote for Fulham for the poster who was asking for a recommendation. I went last season for a game and it was brilliant. Old school, friendly, nice ground, not too big. Welcomed in the tourists that we were. I've done loads of EPL grounds and teams as a "tourist" and the vibe and experience at Fulham was the best by miles.

Stan was here in Orlando last week. My Lions took a beat down.

No... when the Lions first became an MLS team we actually set a North American record for attendance at a soccer game... it was like 90k or some crazy number.

Orlando's a good example of branding done right. STL's new team and their pink colors not so much. I was looking forward to them getting a team since I never really followed soccer prior and it's a clean slate for me, but was disappointed with their overall design choices. To the point where there was no way I was gonna root for them. Makes me seem shallow to some I'm sure but so be it.
Thought about following KC's team as they're solid in all that but I sort of have a bias against everything KC. So now I'm considering taking the leap with a Premier League team. Been watching the All or Nothing seasons and enjoying them. The Arsenal 2021 season was particularly good too (good young talent and I like the coach) but not sure I want to jump in with a team of such rampant popularity.
But I suppose if you choose an underdog organization you're looking at your team being sent down so maybe I need to make the decision with ownership as the key factor idk. Never played much soccer when I was a kid, outside of recess and watching my own kids in their leagues. Not having that feel for the game that I have with some other leagues honestly is what has held me back, but it's dumb not to enjoy it when I can watch any game I want on peacock tv.

Good grief, why is this even a consideration?
Step down a couple of divisions because we will be back where we belong soon enough and we're killing it with our support.
My avatar should be enough to tell you it has to be The Rams.

Best part of the day was Arsenal fans chanting to Bournmouth "You're going down with United" But yes Gabriel has been an amazing addition to our attack.

Watched that today, I thought it was going to get even uglier after the quick 2 early. That strike by Saliba was a beauty.
