Poor effort. Does nothing to change the dire perception English people have of American people playing or commenting on football.

Really just a poor effort from someone that has only heard of three states

I agree poor comparison considering the Yankees are pure evil, and Spurs represent all that is good and right.

seriously who chuffing well cares what city in America would be what team? This article is about a dull as one of my mate Richards’ stories. …and while I’m on the subject it’s ‘The Premier League’ not the arsing EPL there is only one Premier League. If you haven’t got time to say ‘The Premier League’ then you’re too sodding well busy. It’s not soccer it’s football we kick it with our feet what’s your excuse? I hate you all. Yanks. I’ve shit ‘em

Are we comparing the cities themselves, the stadiums, or the teams that reside there? The best comparison, IMHO, would use all three (because who can think of sports and the Bronx and not think titles?), but it doesn’t appear that you took the personalities of the US franchises into play during this comparison.

If you do use this logic, Spurs easily belong in Brooklyn, where the Dodgers once toiled in the US’s most major city, and always had a pretty good team, but never quite good enough to take the title (save for one time).

Of course, since the Brooklyn Dodgers no longer exist, perhaps Philly is a good home for Spurs. Blue collar. In the most populous part of the country, but slightly overlooked as a major area. Despite the Phillies recent success, one of the more tortured sports cities around. Noted for free-agent busts.
