Match #4: Fulham v Arsenal. January 2nd, 2012

From pre-match food and drink to post-match glory.

An ontological perspective would not place me as a Fulham fan.  Perhaps if the only biographical information provided was that I was reared in Dublin, Ohio and Chapel Hill, NC it would appear a seamless fit.  But it isn't.  It feels more like a ripped and ill-fitting prom dress to a dance I was never invited to in the first place.

Match #3: West Brom v Everton, January 1st, 2012

So match no. 3 had some good things going for it...first, Timmy Howard was going to be on the pitch.



Anticipation excitement disappointment. Game 2 Brentford vs MK Dons

This new years eve we get the oportunity to see the MK Dons. Being a fan of the dons is hard especially in the US. There is no way to follow the team except by gamecast, push notifications, and web postings. Needless to say I was very excited when I saw someone else wearing  a Dons jersey at the train station heading to Griffin Park in Brentford.
