Not such a great idea, because after one season both would be relegated.

Perhaps with their current team (although I doubt even that) - but even if so, it would be a matter of time before Celtic were an established top flight team in England.

Doubt it'll happen anyway, even if Rangers go to the wall. Which is likely - and there is NO CHANCE both Old Firm teams would be admitted to England. It's slightly more feasible with just Celtic, though.

I've always wanted to follow the EPL, especially now since my patience is wearing thin with the Knicks and I love watching soccer/football, but I can never really get my mind on a team.

I narrowed it down to Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham since I have some London connections and I want a team that has the ability to stay relevant in the EPL and Europe (though Fulham is a team I will keep an eye on due to its history of giving Americans a chance).

Just wondering if any of the more knowledgeable fans (especially a fan of the three I mentioned) on here help a brother out.

... And here, yet again, Terry is not only playing but Di Matteo won't say if he's giving him the armband! When is this guy's suspension due to begin? According to last week's report, today. Now he's playing. Will he be playing next week? What the hell are the FA on??
