DEAR FR Members and Forum Participants:

The forum has been a successful outlet for legitimate football discussions between real football fans. For the most part it shields us from the wilderness of idiocy and hatred that is the highlights reels.
I have been a member here for quite a while now and I have learned some things from our discussion. NOW, I Want to take it to the NEXT LEVEL!

MY PROPOSITION: I want to Create a Series called "CLUB PROFILE". I will present a list of Football clubs and will be looking for SERIOUS volunteers to be responsbile for profiling one of each. The profile should include the following:
#1- The Club's History: Origins (tends to be the most interesting part); significant eras, moves, or changes in club name locale, etc.
#2- Highlight Key Managers and team "classes". Talk a little about said people's lives and background.
#3- Interesting RECORDS and/or Innovations introduced by the club
#4- A Quick List of all the Titles Earned by said club
#5- Any Interesting or Quaint Facts about the club that you think people would enjoy

This activity is not meant to be a chore but rather a REAL adventure. We can help REALLY teach each other more about football and in the process become really knowledgeable about the game we all love. It is one of the most significant things we could do for each other and I think it is a very worthwile unertaking that I hope you will be interested in participating in!!!

NOTE: Only1 person per club. You may chose a club you support, have some vague connection with, or are interested in learning more about. Again, this is supposed to be an enlightening exercise for all of us so have fun with it.

IMPORTANT: EACH POST MUST HAVE A TITLE THAT BEGINS WITH "CLUB PROFILE: X" (e.g. "Club Profile: Newcastle United)

I REALLY Hope We can make this an ongoing thing and I think if they are done with a minimal even a minimal amount of care it will be a big hit!!! PICK YOUR POISON AND POST IT BELOW AND I WILL MAKE A NICE TABLE

This is an interesting idea. I would like to participate in this seeing Valencia isnt one of the choices im really looking forward to writing about Boca Jr since they are one of the most succesful clubs. anyways let me know how this works as in should i just write it now?

I have all about Man Utd. Every single thing from 1878-2012.

So I got my account back (sweet, sweet revenge >:D). But I have decided I will use Vendetta after his ten days pass by. I can do Chelsea. I would do Ahly, but to be honest I don't know much about Ahly or it's team over the last half century as much as I do about Chelsea. So, I'll do Chelsea. Plus, I'd like to give more info about the REAL Chelsea and not the big money spending side you all know and hate.

NOTE: YOU MAY CHOSE ANY CLUB NOT LISTED. The list was just to provide ideas. Also, some of the more "obscure" clubs I listed were listed on purpose (a club like Sheffield United for example have an aboslutely fascinating history) so don't be intimidated to branch out.

@Raimondo: I apologize I thought I listed Valencia. Would you like to do Valencia or Boca Juniors? As for when to write it, you can do some preliminary reading but wait until I gather more people and we can schedule it accordingly. Thanke everyone! There's FUCK LOADS of clubs and all of them have something unique to share so come on down!!!

Hmmm... I might do Real Madrid. Can I post it tomorrow or the day after?

I'm a bit preoccupied over the next couple of weeks, but I'd be up for taking a stab at Spurs (and actually, perhaps even more passionately, Barcelona). I can't message you in private, so I had to state it here instead.

@Lodatz: I wanted you to state it here.

OK, So far we've got:

MANCHESTER UNITED - mladen
BOCA JUNIORS - raimondo90
CHESLSEA - vendetta (aka trollman)
REAL MADRID - dynastian98
Tottenham Hotspur - lodatz

There's a lot more. Keep 'em coming fellas

i will do dortmund

i wanna learn more about Turkish league, so I take Fenerbahce.

I'm keen to do Man United too. Crap! :p

I call ATHLETIC BILBAO!

NO actually i do santos

Just for some who want to participate and can't decide which team, I suggest St Etienne. Great history, background info, and overall a great club of the 20th century. Or Dynamo Dresden(Bundesliga 2 currently). Great ultras and history as well dating back from when there was still an east and west Germany.

well it looks like you got your account back, Troll. But I'd suggest you'd use only 1.

Oh I will. After the god damn 10 days pass by.

K. United's taken. :/
I'll take Ajax.

Fantastic idea, Footaholic! Your influence on FootyRoom, especially the Forum, has indeed been terrific. I'd love to write about Porto.
