Of course I support my team here in Australia, but I love watching the EPL and I love 'supporting' Spurs. I understand not going for the best (Madrid, Barca, Man City) teams but I don't get the thinking that if you don't go for a team from your area, you have to support a 'crap' team. I love Spurs as they have some of my favourite players and they play a good style of football. Plus 'Arry Redknapp.

Yeah I know what your saying JAM told me the same thing before so I know what you mean. In the future (aka starting with my next show) im really gonna try to have these problems taken care of.
The 'Australian Football League' (AFL) is the Aussie Rules Football League here, which is the biggest sport league in the country.
The association football league (soccer) is called the Hyundai A-League which, yes, contains the Central Coast Mariners, who are from NSW. Most Australians who follow soccer (football, whatever) follow the Premier League because it is so much better then the A-League.
There are a lot of bandwagoners/fair-weather supporters though. Especially of the Man City/Man Utd/Liverpool/Chelsea persuasion.
So theres a bit of random Australian sport knowledge/history for you.
Anyway on a BT related note, looking forward to RAW!
For my show, slowly getting through SD!, have 2 matches to write and it will be done.

I don't say that you need to support a crap team - I'm just questioning your motives for choosing Spurs? Maybe they're not a Man United or a Chelsea but they must be pretty easy to support. I understand why you're drawn to Spurs, they're probably my favourite PL team for the same reasons as you mention, but it's not going to get much respect from me. Maybe I've been a Sheffield United fan too long but football is about losing. It makes winning sweeter! That's why I split it into following and supporting. Following is sitting on a computer or in an armchair and following the results but does losing hurt you big time? Does it wreck your weekend? Supporting a club, IMO, means you have a real emotional connection caused by being there every other week and standing/sitting with like-minded individuals. I'm just not sure how you can get that kind of connection without watching the majority of a team's games live.
I think we have a case of modern day football fan vs. traditional football fan. As somebody who has been brought up as a football fan of my local team for 25+ years now since I was 5 years old, I have a traditional view. I don't understand supporting a team on TV. If I couldn't watch United, I'd hate it and I'd lose interest. It'd kill me to not be able to see them every other week. I'm one of these people who won't go on holiday if there is a home game. I'm a believer that to appreciate the good times, you have to suffer the hard times to do that. I've seen us lose four, count them, four Play Off Finals, I saw us last season throw away promotion to our deadliest rivals when our star striker got locked up for rape, I've seen us relegated because another team played an illegal man - all these things will come together one day and I will get something to cheer and it'll be worth it even more because I've suffered with my team. I just don't understand how you can get those feelings on TV or computer and - me being me - if you can't get those feelings, I have to ask what the point is.
Just my opinion!
p.s. Didn't you start writing a Chelsea FIFA story? And you're a Spurs fan?

Loved RAW, GCB.
Calm down old man!
Just remember, football isn't my first sport - I was raised on rugby and have played that since I was a midget. But I love supporting Spurs, just because I can't be there doesn't I can't follow them.
Oh and I did Chelsea as there was a lot of chance to add story lines with AVB coming in.

Profiles up for 12 of my LOWO superstars. Will have the other 20 up within the next couple of days, and my first show will hopefully be up next Saturday (Aug. 4).

I'm finally feeling this tag match. It's all starting to work well together.

You see this? After nearly a month of trying to write this match I've finally finished that damn thing. I had intended to finish it at 1000 words just because of all the trouble I was having with it but things got going and I hit 2000 soon enough. Pretty happy with what I wrote and it should be good to see what people think about the match once I post it.

The rest of the roster is up. Currently writing the first show, and asking for reviews in advance.

Looking forward to seeing what you produce you will be getting a review from me for sure.
Also I wasnt gonna do this but if I could get some reviews on my first episode of WFE Overdrive it would be great kinda surprised nobodys reviewed it with all the views it has.

Staff for LOWO posted. Show is coming rather slowly... date may be pushed back.
That's why you should never give a date. That way there is no need to rush the show and get it up by the deadline. Just a small piece of advice as it makes things much easier when it comes to things.
Oh and hey guys, sup?

Ugh... things have been coming up a lot, and with my 2 RPs due for All Stars 2 in WZCW on the 9th, I will put my time into that, so I probably won't have my first show up until next weekend.
How is everyone else doing?
