My pleasure Jennifer, I don't think we should give our American cousins the blame. My old gramps used to call the game soccer and I'm sure he never adapted any Americanisms

Fulham and Inter Milan. Before anybody goes into a bitch fest claiming you can't support 2 teams, I'd like to say that my support for both teams developed at the same time and I was never able to choose between them. It wasn't like I loved one team and then decided to find another team.

Not Chelsea.

Manchester United for me
