Football, what does t mean to you

I talked about football in my last post and it made me think about something.

Before I left England for Montreal I made a joke promise to a good friend that I would correct people when they use the term 'soccer'. Now if I say football here in Montreal people assume I am talking about the Canadaian Football so I find myself out of principal saying football but having to explain that I mean soccer.

Sometimes though I have noticed that i slip up and do say soccer. I don't want to lose my Englishisms and am scared that as a few people have mentioned that I am starting to lose my accent.

Have any of you experienced accent loss?

Who the hell are Aston Villa Football Club?

When I lived back in the UK, like many young Brits I used to follow football (or Soccer as I have to keep saying over here in Canada).

I lived for many years next to Charlton Athletic FC and my family were supporters so naturally I ended up becoming a follower too.

Since I have been here in Montreal I have not been keeping up to date with Football / Soccer news so have recently been thinking that I need to find a decent site to bookmark so that I can keep a rough eye on what is going on. I guess the offical Premiership site may be the best place for me to get general news

But.... if you happen to be an Aston Villa Fan then Aston Villa News might be the perfect place for you to bookmark.

VillaMad is a unofficial website that gives you tons of up to date AVFC news, history info, match reports, squad details and much more.

If you are wondering what the hell I am on about then here is a quick roundup.

Aston Villa have been a staple team in the English Premiership for many years now. They were recently bought by the American Randy Lerner and are they are managed by a fantastic manager called Martin O'Neil.

They are also currently fighting for one of the positions to allow them to go into the European Cup and play against the best clubs throughout Europe.

Some of their players include Gareth Barry (recently on the England squad), Ashley Young and Martin Laursen (trust me, theya re all pretty good :) ).

If you don't know much about English Football or you are a avid fan then this is a great place to go. The layout of the site is pretty cluttered but once to adjust and start reading it is packed with info and may well be the only place you need to visit for the news.
