Hello everyone. I’m an American who is discovering English Football and I’m getting pulled down the rabbit hole. I live an hour outside New York City, in New Jersey. My personal feeling is that picking my football team is kind of like picking your dragon. They have to pick you. That said, I have a particular affection for Aston Villa as the home team of Ozzy Osbourne (I’m a lifelong fan) and also Crystal Palace (perhaps the Ted Lasso connection?). I’m a Yankees fan for baseball (historic dynasty in a current drought, but might break the curse this year) and the Giants for American football (historic franchise with flashes of excellence and lots of shit years in between). So hello to my new friends here and I look forward to learning more.
Welcome to FF Stormy Interesting username Maybe also a fan of the woman who was assaulted by the tango'd baby ?
No, the name is for another totally unrelated reason. But not a fan of the orange one, so hopefully we will be rid of him after November 5.
Welcome Stormy We'd be happy to have you as a Palace fan, although as you've already seen you'd have to live with @The Unbeliever's quite frankly disturbing obsession with us. We have about six regularly active fans on here compared to Villa's one or two, because we're massive, so you'd be in good company I've been to NYC three times and loved every visit. Hoping to get back over during the World Cup if you fancy sorting tickets for a fellow Eagle
