Hi guys! Just checked the CL draw and wondered if anyone on here is a football fan? I'm a huge Chelsea fan myself and I've seen a few people's sigs with a team crest/player. Here's a league table.

Aye. Chelsea FC and the Columbus Crew are my teams. I wanted to get a Hazard jersey for myself for Christmas but the price is almost more obscene than American jerseys, then with international shipping...ouch.

I'm English and a Tottenham fan. My girlfriend lives around 20 minutes from Chelsea so has been to see them a few times... unfortunately I have no interest in watching them play haha.
It's awesome that you guys have an interest in the Premier League though, it's a brilliant league.

How much is a football (soccer) jersey in the US? Because I payed £65 for a Chicago Bears Jersey with Devin Hester on the back (not a fan or anything, just liked the jersey). @throwinupthex your girlfriend must be rich! 20 minutes away from Stamford Bridge is an expensive area! As for Spurs, you guys got mauled by The Reds

She's not rich haha. She's closer to Fulham but isn't far at all from either stadium, takes us around half an hour to walk to Craven Cottage (Fulham's stadium) as we went to watch a game there last season.
I paid around £80 ($134) for my newest Limited (stitched) Cowboys jersey but it's well worth it as a normal screen printed jersey is around £65-£70 in England.

About $110 for a good one online. Shame. And getting anything PL related is even worse because of shipping.

I went to Craven Cottage with my dad to watch Liverpool vs Fulham a year or two back. I'm going to watch Liverpool vs Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in about two weeks.

That's a good looking table. Newcastle (my team) riding high and Sunderland stuck to the bottom.
On the side subject of jerseys, it's relatively easy to find and customise the shirts of top PL teams around here. Even the main European team shirts too. No big surprise though since we're a soccer nation (I don't really care for using that word but I feel I have to on here to avoid confusion with American Football. Know your audience.) Though I did have to import my PSG shirt from their club shop in Paris.
I know one or two sport stores here used to have a minute selection of NFL jerseys but I've never seen any. If you go online you either have to pay high prices or use your best judgement and make sure that what you find on eBay isn't a fake. I know my Green Bay (Rodgers) and San Diego (Tomlinson) jerseys are real but I couldn't say for sure about my New Orleans (Brees) one. There's a slight imperfection but if it is fake, it's a very high quality one. I understand that a lot of NFL fans, particularly over here, don't mind fakes as long as they are of high quality. Besides, the average person on the street you pass whilst wearing it isn't going to have a clue about how it's supposed to look anyway.

Doesn't Sport Direct sell PSG shirts? They might do. But I needed mine with Laure Boulleau's name on it and the only place that could do that was PSG's site. It was the previous season's shirt on sale so even with added customising and shipping overall it still came out at about the same price as a new shirt in a store here.

Chelsea will eventually get to the top damnit.
...and somehow Palace got out of the dungeon. I am still clueless about that. Haha.

But they're still near the top and as long as Jose is in charge, they've always got a good chance. And I still think Palace will go down. Fair play to Pulis though, he's done a good job so far.

Chelsea is like Man U, or the Yankees if you know much about American baseball. Love them or hate them, even when they do not look impressive they still find themselves better than just about everyone else. And yeah I know Palace will go back down but still...they suck. Badly. So to see them out of the dungeon is almost as laughable as Man U at one point was like...rank 11 a few weeks back. I just find it funny.
