“You know the funny thing about the Fulham FC official site messageboard is that most posters are clearly deranged and they don’t even rate Dempsey as 1 of Fulham’s best”
Of course, you would never see that sort of insanity from the clear thinking, lucid, sensible people who post on American sites such as SBI.
Sweet. Thanks. Got the hdmi cable running to the tv now. Not a bad picture.

Great awareness there from Lindpere
Damn I’m not able to view… No direct kick no MSG plus. Damn you comcast in CT
Hope you’re ready for NY KCCCCC
“And no one was saying MLS is bad”
You obviously don’t read SBI very much.
Doyle gets some games for Derby in the Championship, basically because every other forward went down with injury and right away everyone wants BB to cap him. Yet I haven’t read one article anywhere that said this guy played so well he made everyone forget about McBride.
I call it the Rossi-Subotic syndrome,”lets cap everyone who has even the slightest possibility of ever playing for the USMNT to avoid a repeat of Rossi-Subotic”
After all Doyle is playing in Europe so he must be better than MLS players right?
Everyone gets bent out of shape because Mix Diskerud isn’t called up but no one bitches about Stephens, Franklin or Bowen not getting a call. Yet I have a hard time thinking that if Stabaek and the Galaxy were to meet when both teams were in peak form ( schedules being what they are)that the Norwegians would wipe the floor with the Galaxy.
I’m sure Doyle and Mix are fine players but I’m not so sure they would tear up MLS if they came here.
Sounders!!!
Seattle!!!!!
Seaaaaaaaattle!
definitely didn’t need to see mid-coffee sip
Saint-Etienne are relentless. Remind me of Hoffenheim from a couple seasons ago, so much speed in attack opponents can’t cope.
Blaise the Beast
beautiful goal be DeRosario. Ugly looking injury to Park – fingers are not meant to point in that direaction
Ahhh, how could i forget…. you know who’s name I’m talking about
add Blackburn, and Liverpool for Freidel
Was there never a McBride-Bocanegra-Dempsey Fulham line up?
They may have even player Eddie Lewis and Feilhaber with Derby? Or a Man City with Beasley or Reyna.
We’ve had a fair number or EPL players in the past decade.
McBride, Johnson, Altidore, Joe Max-Moore
Convey, Feilhaber, Reyna, Beasley, Dempsey, Holden, Lewis
Onyewu, Bocanegra, Spector, DeMerit
Freidel, Howard, Hahneman, Keller, Guzan
4 forwards, 7 Mids, 4 defenders, 5 goalies
Everton, Man City, Fulham, Watford, Reading, Aston Villa, Derby, Bolton, Hull City, Newcastle, West Ham
