Mostly, I follow our guys via the BBC text commentary because when I actually watch us on US TV we lose and so I don't, in hopes we might scrape something or at least turn in a good performance. There was a throwaway line about Ray Wilkins taking the space and barking orders at the defence. Good...

I'd like to offer this, which popped up this morning just as I was on the way out the door to work, for your consideration; although it is on an American site, it is apparently by an Englishman and a Fulham supporter. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/fulham/id/1694?cc=5901

We come from different places, times and cultures, imho relegation-or-not being a key difference between British and American sports. But it looks like someone has managed to call The Stache's attention to the huge financial downside to relegation and as a big businessman, not a footballer, he's...

Link to Danish jounrno, please. Btw, there used to be a UK site (Who Is The Secret Footballer, or something like that, I believe, that had charts and everything). Interesting reading.

There s a Santa! Three points on the road -- yessss!

The one, the only, the original. From me to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yudgy30Dd68

Speaking of owners and managers, the notion of a Chinese billionaire buying Roma raises interesting possibilities (and as a Yank I do wonder what The 'Stache is thinking.) http://qz.com/160709/professional-soccer-clubs-are-great-entertainment-and-terrible-investments/

As a Yank, I'd like to say that the only difference between the World Cup and March Madness (the annual college/university basketball tournament that captivates our nation) is that in the World Cup it's not one and done, it's three. Best of luck to England.

I'll be the first to say I don't know enough but this just popped up on UK sites seen across the pond. Um .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25151673

To all Fulham supporters of the Yank persuasion, Happy Thanksgiving!

This is for all who are interested in history and Fulham's legacy. Looking at you, C58. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25055156

From tonight's Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/nov/07/fulham-martin-jol-job-speculation I try to, as the California Driver's Manual once famously put it, "maintain a smiling attitude", but "surprise results"? IMHO, any win would be a surprise result at this sad point.

I rarely comment here since my knowledge of football is very limited, but I do live south of Miami and some American Football --NFL-- news does occasionally filter down from the wilds of North Florida (almost Georgia, seven hours of high speed driving north of here, on the pay to play limited...

I'd like to offer this from our ESPN. Please remember that it's trying to explain things to those American sports fans (certainly not all of us) who are generally familiar with but still have lots to learn about football. (The Cascadians, of course, would sneer at the level of analysis.)...
