Wondering when something like this would pop up.

Premier starts next week. I just hope we don't get what happened last season.

^ Me too. I was so damn frustrated to see the title changing hand in final 2 minutes of the season.

Hope 20th title is on the way this season.

Yeh, I was watching it online, and the internet ****ed up in the last minuets, and then I heard won and I literally just froze.

to claim the title back would be amazing!

A Man United fan from Asia? I wish I could say I was surprised.

I am not Chinese or Hong Kong or typical Asian football lover.

I am a huge football lover since 1994 World Cup and Manchester United fan since 1998.

Our International Football status is quite low and my country couldn't play Football better but we are Football crazy. During World Cup, fans hang flags of their favorite nation on rooftops and balconies all around the country. Few examples during 2010 World Cup:

Big International and famous Club teams actually don't come here. Last year in September an Argentina vs Nigeria match took place in my country for the first time. Next year Football board is trying to bring Manchester United & Real Madrid.

BTW, Dwight Yorke came to BD two months ago. And there is going to be a training in Manchester United(Old Trafford) for few 13-16 years old kids from our country for the first time. These are big highlights of football here.

No, all European Club Footballs. I don't follow any other league than these four. So didn't put name, but if someone posts some info I will put them in OP.

You get them everywhere! Except probably Manchester.

I enjoy watching premier league football but the team I support are in the Blue Square South. Dorchester FC, they're my local team and I especially love travelling to watch their away games. I'm going to Staines on the 21st of August to watch them play and I went to Staines last session too. I love non league football. My hope this year is for Dorchester FC to qualify for the FA Cup, last happened in 2008.

Sorry I've gone off topic. I hope the Premier League and FA Cup bring us lots of fun.
