There you go! You have proved me right (yet again). You bring up your ridiculous form of football, that the world ignores, in order to start a debate on your real love Association Football.

Pop Quiz (no googling): Which team has spent the longest no. of seasons c.70 in the top division of English Football, but never won the championship? Interesting question I think you will all agree?

Now see, here's where I have a problem. Really?

Not all think it's ridiculous, W1. I have tried to learn a bit about soccer and be civil about it. Why the trash talk?

Why?

Two reasons:

a) Firstly, its just banter. Steiner has been having a go at soccer, rugby et al for ages. It's taken in jest and I answer in jest.
b) Secondly, because Association Football is the World's game and American Football is rubbish

Warspite1

Cost really varies from club to club, where you sit etc etc. A top price ticket at Tottenham is £80.

The top division - the premiership - has 20 teams and we play each other home and away i.e. 38 league games per season. In addition there are two domestic cup competitions and Euopean competion for those that qualify. There are three professional leagues below the premiership - I think 92 clubs in all.

Season lasts from August to May.

The English football league started in 1888? The FA Cup began in 1872.

Warspite1

No. Manchester United are the most successful team in English football - having won the title 19(?) times.

This team won the first FA Cup final at (the old) Wembley in 1923.

Warspite1

In theory its Scotland for obvious reasons. In reality, Scotland see us as their biggest rival, but we probably see Germany as being ours. I think losing to anyone is painful but Germany, France and Scotland have to be the worst countries to lose to.

So how does US football work? Don't you have franchises or something? When you say Iowa, is this the same club?
