Hi, my name is Matt and i'm from Alabama. I am a sort of new fan to 'soccer', or football as you all call it.
I began watching Premiership matches last year on TV and i quickly became interested. It is so much more exciting to me than watching American games...which generally have half-filled stadiums, boring fans and even more boring gameplay action.

I don't know what else to say...except that i look forward to reading all your comments and becoming more acquainted with the lovely game of English Football.

Welcome to the forum Matt.
Do you have a favourite team yet?

well i'm leaning towards Birmingham City and Middlesbrough right now

I have a few friends on the net that live in Birmingham and they are always talking up BCFC, so that's why i like them. As for Middlesbrough, when i watch matches on TV, i usually get Middlesbrough matches. I really like English football as a whole though, not entirely devoted to one team or another.

Welcome and enjoy.

Make sure you check out the MLS Section as well. As you already know the quality is nowhere near that of Europe and across the world for that matter. But there's been some great strides the last couple years to up the quality as a whole in the league. We also have an MLS forum game that will start on March 29th. We have one spot left. Wink

Welcome to the forum Matt, we're a nice bunch generally so I hope you stick around.

Its refreshing to see you've got a liking for a team other than the usual suspects Smile

Fair play, not many new football fans would want to start supporting either of those two.

Welcome and enjoy anyways mate

Welcome to the forum.

Are you from Greenbow Alabama? If so you should support Forest.

No just dragging pettiness into someone else's welcome thread.

Leave it in your own thread if you feel such an uncontrollable urge to do it.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this matter then it seems.

It's just cfcbhoy didn't give crabs a nice welcome... Maybe if cfcbhoy said sorry all would be well....


But your right, let's leave it in here. Wink
