The worst bit about becoming 'American' famous

[distortiondave]

Premeer league, instead of Premier League.

That's all. As you were.

[Vegas Claret]

if that's the worst bit then I'll take it !

[Terrier]

Soccer?

[Spijed]

Soccer?

And the have the cheek to call their sport "football" when they barely kick the rugby ball.

[Chester Perry]

Soccer?

absolutely nothing wrong with Soccer, plenty on here who remember using it in their youth was common parlance in this country for decades only seemed to fade as it picked up in the US

Another pointless topic

[Eloise Laws]

In one of JJ Watt later videos he actually says Premier as we would, so he’s learning

Shush you, and go and pay your debts to other posters.

[Longsider]

There are no negatives. Glass more than half full with our American links. Up The Clarets

As someone who has to watch games on the USA network every Saturday, I’ve got used to it.

Is that your last Vermeer?

Same!

I think I’ll cope…

[claretblue]

spelling Champions the American way!

[FCBurnley]

Watt y’all moaning about. He will be a great ambassador for the club

[Bin Ont Turf]

If anyone has seen the Watt's (not their fault) on one of the Premier League Yank channels, then it's everything.

Go Burnley!

F**k off!

[evensteadiereddie]

........ is that one day they'll get tired of it.

[Vegas Claret]

worst bit is you'll probably need a passport to watch future pre-season friendlies, best part is you'll get a holiday in America

[forzagranata]

I wonder if we will have some this summer?

It is quite tricky to find opponents though - MLS clubs are busy and the big boys from Europe who are touring are all playing each other.

A lot of managers don't like pre-season US tours though so VK might not be keen.

A few years ago they were trying to push the idea of at least one league game being played overseas.

Would anyone be OK with that idea if it was in America in the same way the NFL play some of their games over here?

[claptrappers_union]

Americans don't do sport. They don't get it in general.

[Blondeclaret]

Looking forward to the tail gating on Harry Potts Way

[wilks_bfc]

Looking forward to the tail gating on Harry Potts Way

There won’t be any

We’ll be able to tuen left onto Tod Rd whilst the lights are on red

[Blondeclaret]

By tailgating I don’t mean queues of traffic, it’s an American thing. You park up at a sports game and set up bbq etc out the boot of your cars, it’s a social thing prior to the game.

[aGoodKompany]

Great soccer in the Premeer League.

No, no, no.

It’s a little different, from my understanding of American Football. Their teams seem to up sticks as and when there are bigger bucks or a shiny new stadium on offer elsewhere. They’re probably a little more used to games, even ‘home’ games, being a flight away.

Thankfully I’ve heard no such suggestion from JJ Watt, and long may it continue. Everything I’ve heard from him so far, I’ve been impressed with.

Go on a pre season tour of America by all means, especially if it helps us to grow a fan base over there, but do not mess with the competitions themselves. We have enough of that nonsense from UEFA as it is.

Not sure American Police Departments are ready for English football fans. They wouldn't like the unorchestrated, rowdy chanting and personal insults thrown at players. Don't know how they would deal with the persistent standing either
