If deep down you feel like heartbreak Cardinal football is in your sole then Sunderland is your team.

If you have ever wanted not to be a Card's fan (and actually meant it) then you have another 91 English Lge teams to choose from.

The Cards take A LOT out of me yearly. I have invested so much time and energy into them, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I will have to check out Sunderland. Maybe they have the charm also.

Keano must be a heckuva salesman. Kaboul sounded dead-set against a move to the SoL before he talked to Roy. I like how the squad is shaping up. Still need another striker though. Maybe McGeady from Celtic?

Kaboul agrees Sunderland deal
Tottenham defender to undergo medical on Friday
By Lewis Rutledge Last updated: 24th July 2008

Younes Kaboul has agreed personal terms with Sunderland ahead of a proposed move to the Stadium of Light, according to Sky Sports News.

The Tottenham defender held talks with Black Cats boss Roy Keane over the weekend and now appears to be on the brink of completing his transfer.

He is set to undergo a medical on Friday before putting pen-to-paper on a contract.

Kaboul's agent Rudy Raba claimed last week the Frenchman was not interested in joining Sunderland, with Portsmouth also in the running to sign him.

But he looks to have been convinced by Keane and could be one of four Spurs players to make the switch to Wearside.

Sunderland have already signed Teemu Tainio on a three-year deal and Pascal Chimbonda is expected to follow in the very near future.

Steed Malbranque has also met with Keane to discuss personal terms.

Yeah, I notice Sundy has been pretty busy over the past week or so.

Sunderland's scrappy like the Cards the year before we got Fitz...just good enough not to be the absolute worst

Root for Newcastle...we have a great brew named after us

I've gotten into soccer/football as well over the past few months and Arsenal is my team too.

One thing that intrigued me as an American sports fan is the promotion/regulation at the end of every season. Instead of rewarding the worst team with the top pick in the draft, they get punished moved to a lower league. It would be pretty interesting to see that here. Of course you Cards fans probably wouldn't like it because they would be a couple of leagues from the top.

I also love the idea of multiple leagues for single teams. Bayern Munich, for example could conceivably play in 3 leagues: Bundesliga, The Champions League and I think there is a third, but it escapes me.

It's like having March Madness 3 times a year...

The Cards would be in training camp for YAFL if this were the case . But yeah, it is really cool how the promotion and relegation works.

The Champs league isn't like a league in the same way. There are small groups for the first part but it's basically a knockout cup.

It annoys me a bit that they changed the name to the Champions League from the European Cup around the same time they allowed teams that were not Champions of their respective countries to play in it.

If you want a real football team to support look no further than Leeds United. Hardcore fans like no other (although those Mackems and Geordies aren't bad) and everyone else hates us! Nothing like supporting a team nobody else likes.

If it must be a Prem team then Arsenal is definitely the best option. They have great players, a great manager, play beautiful football and most importantly aren't Liverpool, Manure or Chelsea!

They need to get another couple of midfielders mind after losing Flamini, Gilberto and Hleb.
