English soccer league thread

I'm done with MLB - I can't take being a Phillies fan anymore. As of today I'm now following those English soccer leagues and rooting for Manchester to beat Liverpool. I think Kent has a good shot this year to win the cup with possibly Worchester giving it a go.

Can anybody explain though why, except for the goalies, they don't want to use their hands? Seems to me like that would help them control the ball better in various situations.

    LOL, the Mnachesterians have a great striker, I hear. Is AC Milan in this league, too? image

    They don't use their hands during the game so they don't get worn out and tired when they have to defend themselves from attacks
    by overzealous fans from either side. image

    Which Manchester are you rooting for, Manchester United or Manchester City? The city has enough support for two teams, just like Philly used to have when the Athletics and Phillies shared the city.
