Hey. I got a question for any of you Brit footie fans.

I'm going to be in London next November. I'd like to catch a game -- doesnt' matter which, there's plenty London teams to chose from

What's the easiest way of getting tickets?

Official team websites.
I'd imagine Chelsea with their small stadium are hard to get and have a dumb system of points et al, but the other teams have big enough stadiums that there shouldn't be much trouble getting tickets.
You'll have to wait until next season's fixtures are officially announced though.

If you can I'd recommend checking out a game of one of the big premier teams and one of the smaller lower league teams, to get the authentic English football experience. With these you can usually just show up and pay on the door, they usually announce on their website if cash turnstyles are open.

ok, thanks. Which non premier teams play out of, or close to London, do you know?

[Liep]

QPR, Millwall and Wimbledon.

[Liep]

And next season probably Fulham

Don't go to a Millwall match. Their fanbase is infamous for its large ultra racist hooligan element.

Wimbledon could be cool. They have an interesting story.

Ok thanks for the heads up.

Support AFC Wimbledon, John Green's team.

[Duque de Bragança]

A band wagoning football supporter of London/EPL clubs abroad would be more interesting.

Who?

[Liep]

The guy from Radiohead?

Ah

[Grey Fox]

No, he's an American Author.

MLS is back. Impact won it's first game, great news since the start of the season is always a grueling 8 of 9 on the road.

[Liep]

Fucking VAR. That was a class A goal with no clear indication of the ball being out. Just rule it as the line ref saw it.

[Liep]

Right call, but way too long for a VAR decision.

[Tamas]

It is always great to see Real Madrid humiliated. There isn't any other team deserving it more.
