The club has a nice feel to me, though, as well, judging from the sites I read. There's also that whole underdog/Cubs feel to it as they've rarely been THIS consistent. I think they're in the Premiership to stay, now, but many over there would disagree, and still see survival as the first goal of the club.

Add to it the great old ground....now a historical landmark....and its location right on the River Thames.

My thing about following Americans, Bleed, is that I clearly remember when it was just Keller at Millwall, Meola somewhere, and Harkes at Sheffield Wednesday in 1990-1991. And that followed by a completely mulleted Joe-Max Moore for the briefest of spells at Everton.

For you guys, it's more the norm to have a few scattered Yanks, for me, Fulham really stepped up, so to say.

My post was definfitely in support of Fulham if he wants to follow Americans.

I would agree. I cant imagine them going down anymore. They'll be fine.

I can completely understand. One of the reason I love Liverpool is Anfield's history and how the club refuses to change any part of the stadium to become more modern. I went on the tour about a month ago and it was like stepping back in time walking into the boot room and the dressing room. Old wooden benches that had been there for 50 years, the same walls with simple paint and just hooks for the jerseys. They have pictures hung up of Shanks and his team from 1959 in the boot room and it is identicle to the same boot room its sitting in now in 2011. Such a cool thing to really be able to step back in time to the laste 1800's and see how modern soccer hasn't corrupted that tradition and history.

I totally agree, thats what I was saying. Usually players get traded regardless of nationality but Fulham have shown their support for America's untapped talent pool is here to stay. If you're going to watch the game to follow Americans I think Fulham is your only choice because they're the only team that has proven they have in the past and will in the future give us a chance no matter what.
