Really interesting map, though I wish they were a little more dynamic with their colors.

55% of Man United supporters live in London. This is true.

Somehow, this makes me pull for Fulham even more.

I didn't know Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge were so close together. Since both have been in the EPL for a while, why aren't Fulham and Chelsea bigger rivals?

Also, London is unique in that it's the only city with more than three teams competing in a major UEFA league. You have to go all the way down to the Moscow in the Russian League to find another situation like that.

London is a football mad city.

Yeah, the color scheme is a little confusing, but at good job nonetheless.

Stamford Bridge technically lies in the borough of Fulham, actually. When I went to the Chelsea/Arsenal match last year, I found myself in a pub surrounded by Chelsea homers who were bragging about how much trivia they knew. I had to make a display as the only Yank in the place, so I started trying to piss them off. My favorite question I asked them was:

Which 2 current Premiership sides have their home ground in Fulham...and I'll give you a running start: one of them is Fulham?




ETA: I bet drinks for the night that I could stump them at least once. They insisted it was only fair to ask Chelsea-related questions. In the end, I stumped them with one Chelsea question and one non-Chelsea question:

Q: Who was the first manager sacked in the era of the modern EPL?

Q: Which name do we use to properly refer to the derby between Burnley and Blackburn?

Their ground is right by Heathrow. You often fly over right as you are landing. The Bees!

I was just thinking this. Why not throw in some green or brown. It looks like the person that is working on this is trying to use team colors...but it definitely becomes confusing for those of us that aren't too familiar with the geography of London.

It looks like Spurs is trying to move south.

I noticed that. They're almost out in Reading territory.

that is a great site and should be added to the stickied thread(if its not already)

the 'shite...we lost' page has come in handy over the years. the no longer existant leedsfans.org.uk was always my favorite fan site. the guy that ran it had a pretty awesome sense of humor and almost made relegation fun.
