NUFC might not be a very succesfull club but they are very big on the world rankings, simple as that....

Sounds like a little sour grapes to me...

If the OO is so dam good then why has he not been snapped up by the CFC or MUFC's of this world?

Maybe he wants to learn about his trade and learn from the lower club status of NUFC rather than be a bench warmer for CFC and walk away with a medal every season.

And until this huge b@stard has shown us his true colours then everyone who thinks hes world class should belt up.

I hope he's as good as this fuckwit seems to think he is. 

I think that Onyewu is relatively ambitious actually. Compared to others on the national squad. Seeing that both Boro and Fulham showed an interest and he chose to come here-- it is a bigger challenge. 

US Nat stars end up places like Fulham, Watford, and Reading-- and do well there. Not Man Utd or Chelsea.

Hat tip to Coleman- he has identified and bought the best American talent for pretty cheap. Yes, folks McBride, Bocanegra, and Dempsey are just about the best the US has. No surprise he was going after Onyewu as well. With Fulham's budget and the insane prices being asked for mediocre English talent, Americans are pretty good buys.

That, and they sell Fulham merchandise in the US 

  i hate this kind of s**** from one of my countrymen.  it puts me in a very defensive posture because hey, believe it or not there are things to really love about america (hold your applause please  ) but we certainly aren't perfect and we don't need idiots like this schmuck making it WORSE!   this ickel masturbator or however you spell his name is the exact reason people hate americans.  the ugly american was never truer than when some knucklehead like this spouts off like he knows everything.  even though usa 'soccer' fans are the jonny come lately's to the party.  
  i'm an american and i've been a member of this board since it was Howaythetoon.com.  when i first joined i didn't post for weeks, i just read and soaked up the wisdom of others.  i figured that even though i've been a footballer for more than 35 years, and a coach of the game as well, i could learn a lot from the people who invented the game and have played/watched it at a much higher level of quality than i.  and i did learn and i believe i'm a better coach and player for it.  and while i'm never going to win 'most knowledgeable poster' i have been agreed with a few times when i give an opinion here.  really though most people just politely ignore me.  

anyway, while i joined to keep up with the team i love, i knew that i ought to recognise my place as an ignorant newcomer to the tradition & history of NUFC and keep my mouth shut.  why can't this moist fart do the same?  

all that just to apologise for the idiots we've got carrying USA passports out there and a request that you won't throw us all out with the trash.

rant over

have a nice day, y'all

I would love to see someone try to explain the multiple interpretations refs have of the offside rule to someone like that :P

(not that the fact the ref's/linesman cant make up their minds about this rule has'nt helped us in the past ofcourse)

Yeah sounds right, that and I'm only 25, 26 in a few weeks.  Real sharp on those numbers, good thing I work in accounting.

no problem, there are idiots everywhere in the world, lol

Well, from my time spent in the UK (Mostly in the Toon or London), it's similar yeah.  Although, if you live in the Toon or Brum for example, you get local coverage.  Which, you would get if you lived in any corresponding city in the states.  Indianapolis = Colts, Pacers and local College/University sports.  You won't get that with the EPL over here.  It's the top 4, then whoever is making enough noise behind those get some coverage (quite little in comparison).  I'm not sure how you cope with these t***'s on Fox Soccer Channel or ESPN's Man U wankfest, but I can't even stomach 30s. 

There are mostly Liverpool w*** circles (plastic support) that get together at the big footie pub here in Toronto (as previously stated).  Watching these cunts all clap together at the big screen when Reessay (Riise) makes a tackle is hilarious to say the least.  Sorry Rafa, you seem like a good bloke (Leafs beat the Rangers last night ), but I absolutley hate Liverpool for the above reason. 

If you can believe it, there's a f****** Cockney Mackem w*** circle at the same pub.  It consists of a couple of blokes in their 50's who drag their wives to the pub clad in Spurs Kit.  I'm pretty sure I saw one of the wives knitting during the match.   

The most annoying bit is wearing the Toon Kit and hearing the "referee shirt" comment every ten minutes.  The bonus is when I walk through 'Little Italy' here and cunts think I'm wearing a Juve kit.  I was thinking of changing the Shearer on the back to Shearoni for personal amusement. 

Speaking of the Italians, they have a few local cable channels here and I've noticed they have a soccer show where a couple of gino's gather round a pizza oven to talk about the top 4 clubs in that country.  They must be taking the lead from bigger media outlets. 

Rant over.   

That feels better.
