Here are a few fun facts for you, el dudderino...
1) My teams' scarf is Black and White... hardly "brightly colored"
2) Cisse's name is pronounced "SEE-say." The only footballer with a truly unfortunate name is the Brazilian known as "Kaka."
3) The headbutting frenchie you mentioned has been, infact, an underwear model. He was also very overrated, IMHO.
4) I only called you ignorant when you implied that footballers were nothing more than sissy underwear models...
5) This thread was started by myself to find anyone interested in discussing the EPL, not to take flack from fellow 'mericans about the nature of the sport in question.
