Hello from Colorado

[Wratho]

I have been visiting this forum since the start of the LD rumours. I did not sign up till two months ago.

I live near Denver Colorado, Grew up playing Soccer , still play at my old age of 32. I have watched the EPL with never a team to root for. I never felt the need to back a team, just enjoyed watching good football.

After seeing the many long time US supporters, with Tim and with the loan of LD I had to take enough time to visit forums and understand what makes up the team. I have to say Everton seem like the team to support

So it was choosen for me to back the Everton side, and despite if LD ever comes back or Tim is shipped elsewhere, I will forever back the boys in blue where ever they come from.

Now I have to buy a kit, and do not know which one to get.

Welcome to GOT

Also I'd wait till next season before buying a kit, hopefully they'll be better than this season's awul set.

Welcome Wratho, whereabouts near Denver? Beautiful part of the country (even if it is filled with immigrant Texans, Californians and Brits). I spent some time in Golden and lived in Boulder and Steamboat Springs for a while many many years ago.

20 minutes North of Denver in Lafayette. So having spent time in Boulder you know where that is at. Yes beautiful country out here. Great place to work and to travel to for Holidays!

Welcome .

Are you a Broncos fan? How do you think Shanahan will do in Washington?

Shanny does well with Veterans, should fit in with how the Skins run the team. He should do very well.

Enough about that boring sport.

Rodwell seems to be a very good young talent. Where does he fit in best on the pitch? These last few months I have been able to seem him play a little, but what are his best strenths/ weaknesses? He seems to be a very intriguing player.

We had a discussion on that very subject last week. http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/27032-Jack-of-all-trades?highlight=jack+rodwell

I love how Shanahans dealing with that lazy fatass Hayneworth. Complete waste of $100 million.

As for Rodwell, he's quickly becoming one of my favorite players. IMO his best position is center midfield. He has been very good going forward (see his goal and assist to LD vs Man u). He's made some mistakes playing defense though (see back pass to Distin which resulted in a penalty). He has a great future ahead of him.

Thanks for the link.

Welcome to GOT, Wratho. Just post, read and enjoy the best forum on the web.

And for the line in bold, may I suggest an Everton one?

Welcome Wratho.

The kit to buy - Blue home kit, Donovan number 9 on back. I'm sure he'll be back next season.
