I just read that the 3 stars were included because:

"The three stars above the eagle constitute a design element that relate a more continental feel to the design. "

This is a quote from a Man City press release, so now we know - it means nothing (just like Man City really!)

I support Aberdeen - our 2 stars come from our 2 European trophies!

Not as many as Chiang Mai, though.

Unfortunately, my old man forced me to become an Aston Villa fan when I was born. Looks like another fun season ahead

Didn't Curbishley say he was leaving for a while to simply get away from it all?

Not unknown for paper talk to be wrong......... , not unknown for managers to lie, to get away from a club.

O'dreary turned up in his 80grand Mercedes CLS to take training this morning, he won't be pushed easily.

Reading is our name

Survival is our aim

Watch out for Leroy Lita

If he can score then we will beat cha

The double over UNITED we can wield

err.. thats because they're in Sheffield

Borro, Villa we'll give it a shot

Chelsea ,Arsenal..we aint got a lot

Wigan we've beaten many a time

when we promissed the ref a Larger and Lime

West Ham will come and WILL go down

Big Boys show up and we'll perform like a clown

I see a vision from way on high

saying Pompey, Watford you'll beat them ....aye

Then Fulham, Blackburn, bring them on

We'll bag the points, they'll soon be gone

What about City I hear you call

well my predictions a 2-2 brawl

Liverpool, Everton the Merside might

I reckon we'll give them a mighty fright

Crouchie steps on to our hallowed turf

Sonko will make him look like a Smurf

Crouch may perform like a man in tights

but I warn him now that SONKO BITES

So Newcastle with your Toon Army

to get something here I think you are barmy

To finish above you would be a dream come true

we may even loan out some strikers to you

Charlton, Bolton know your place

You are never gonna be in the Championship race

Chase for Europe again and again

You don't like playing us.. and thats to OUR GAIN

Spurs will come and Spurs will go

Is this their year you never know?

who is this kid they call Defoe?

We've had his number for a long long time now

and we know how to keep him in line till he throws in the towel

Keene is mustard and hot to hold

But Reading's defence will hold it's nose

SNIFF him out , he'll score no goals

We'll put the squeeze on Lemon for sure

stick him in a Corona ..he's easy with a straw

And Spurs defence is full of holes

Robinson's a Department Store

Get 10% off and we are bound to score

So here endeth the Reading Lesson

If I missed your team out then they

ARE NOT WORTHY

But he could be your next manager if you are <deleted> for the first six games

Can you make it a little clearer about which team you support?

[ThaiPauly]

Oxford United of course..silly billy

[calibanjr.]

I don't have a particular favorite. Distant relative of Damien Duff, so I used to root for Blackburn, then Chelsea, until they just got too big a bandwagon. If the rumors are true of his going to Spurs, I'm up for that!

[lampard10]

still no answer on the stars.

i think they represent each decade without winning out. 30 years and counting.

No.........it's what percentage of Manchester people support United and not City....3%

Kind of a funny article on choosing an EPL side. The guy is an American sports writer who is generally funny, and admits that choosing an EPL side at his age is a bit silly, like a Brit deciding to follow an NFL team at the age of 40, but it helps to get you more into what's happening to follow a side. Funny thing is, he picks Tottenham.

He makes some flattering observations about the state of fandom in EPL and soccer in general vs. that of American sports. You can follow his criteria in picking his team.

Newcastle paid well over the odds for him, as they did Owen..they are desperate
