So I've never really watched football. Tips on getting started, who to watch, what I should know?

Where are you from? I find following football in your own country easier, but you can follow football around the world!

Support Manchester City <3

There's a big game tonight between the English teams Manchester City and Chelsea FC. It'll be good match for a neutral spectator to watch. The majority of football-gaf will be watching that game, but there are also other big games on tonight:

Villarreal - Real Madrid (Spain)
Monchengladbach - Bayern Munich (Germany)
Everton - Arsenal (England)

How familiar are you with the sport?

It should be a good game to watch!
 
You're right, of course. It's not a lucky season for you guys as far as injuries go. I apologize for the sarcasm, sometimes I just feel the need to be the verbal counterweight to a certain other rossoneri fan here and go too far. :p

Hopefully this rivalry will last until the end of the season. C'mon Roma, do something useful for once!

EDIT: Btw, what's up with this Dash Kappei dude? I was promised cursing and meltdowns, yet he's nowhere to be seen.
It's football, sarcasm is a part of the game.

C'mon Inter, do somet- heh, why do I even try...

TheLucifer is probably the classiest Milan fan to ever grace this thread. And that's how I know them IRL.
Well, thank you :D

I think you guys are forgetting about Spurs vs Stoke, aka 'Beauty and The Beast'.

Stoke as his first game?

Got all the EPL games but QPR vs Liverpool (not aired here) set to record. Also, got Real Madrid set. Feels good.

In other news - they're saying on BBC that Muamba was dead for 78 minutes before he was finally revived at the London Chest Hospital. Amazing he pulled through and is moving again. Hopefully he can return one day.

“If I was (owner) Tony Fernandes I would have a plan A, B and C in place and none of them would include Barton.
“He is not a QPR player, he’s a marquee name and I don’t believe he has the best interests of the club at heart in the slightest and he’s been a complete waste of time for me.

Hoping for a few more Savic moments tonight.

He's gonna score the winner isn't he :'(

He's also not on the cunt list, which is definitely a positive for any player.

I think he's the only player not on the cunt list now actually; it was him and Aguero but he ruined everything.

HI GAF BABIES

Rooting for Chelsea, Madrid, Bilbao, Gladbach, Spurs, Everton and QPR tonight. Sorry Pool fans, I do hate QPR. I just don't want Liverpool to win. Draw will do me fine actually.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Spurs team to play Stoke: Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto; Kranjcar, Modric, Parker, Bale; Van der Vaart, Saha.

At last, the 442 has been sent to the dustbin and the best players are in the proper positions.
