    Promotional posters for each Premier League team have gone up across the Big Apple, encouraging New Yorkers to pick a team to support.

    The posters have given each Premier League team a location in the Big Apple – whether it be in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island
    Who gets what

    Premier League teams have been allocated districts across the Big Apple....
    glamorous than others

    ●Swansea City — Upper West Side

    ●Liverpool — Upper West Side

    ●Manchester United — Upper East Side

    ●Chelsea — Battery Park and the financial

    district

    ●Sunderland — the Bronx

    ●Manchester City — midtown which includes Times Square.

    ●Cardiff City — Brooklyn

    So:
    Upper West Side - Swans.
    Primarily residential area with many of its residents working in more commercial areas in Midtown and Lower Manhattan. It has the reputation of being home to New York City's cultural, intellectual hub (with Columbia University located at the north end of the neighborhood), and artistic workers (with Lincoln Center located at the south end), while the Upper East Side is traditionally perceived to be home to commercial and business types.

    The neighborhood is also referred to for short as just the "West Side" or the "UWS".

    And Brooklyn -
    Brooklyn's neighborhoods are becoming increasingly mixed, with an influx of immigrants integrating its neighborhoods. What started as a trend may now be the permanent equilibrium. Brooklyn and Queens have been a worldwide example of poor immigrants getting along most of the time, often with better results than in their home countries. Presently, they have substantial populations from many countries

    Upper West Side is where the monied New Yorkers tend to live. Very posh. Sad to say Cardiff will get more people responding to their poster because I suspect there are far more football fans in Brooklyn than the UWS.

    I thought it was the richer folk who liked football out there, whilst the poorer people tended toward the more traditional american sports ;)

    Thought it was obvious, sorry. Hispanic community is flourishing in Brooklyn - less of them in UWS.

    Mexican football is huge over here, that's why they play so many of Mexico's internationals in New Jersey.

    Our match with United did very well in the ratings over here on NBC - highest ever rating from a Prem match. UWS is not a bad place to be associated. Fairly affluent soccer oriented types - able to fork out for shirts and stuff ... which is what it's all about - merchandise, merchandise, merchandise

    match commentators are from the british feed, so good quality there. Pre/halftime/Post analysts are better than they had on Fox IMO. The only problem is that they do not repeat matches, either on tv or on their iPad / Web service so if you don't record a match on tv or watch it at the time of "airing" on the iPad your out of luck. They need to correct that.
