This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I've done two England soccer trips with them and they've managed to get tix for some very competitive matches (Chelsea-Man U, Liverpool - Tottenham, for example) with a couple of months notice. They can craft a package for you with hotels, transport (like private car to the stadium if you'd like vs taking the Tube and walking), and tix for as many games as you might be able to see in the time that you're there. While the big EPL teams was my focus for going, some of the best times I had was going to smaller grounds and Championship teams in between the big matches. If you're there, you might as well see as much soccer as you can.
