As I have worked a little with football and sport clubs, I thought it would be a bit interesting to write a little bit about what I have noticed about premier football teams.
Tottenham Hotspur - As a spurs fan I do spend quiet a bit of time on their site, it is pretty average for football. Most premier league teams have a decent site but nothing amazing considering the amount of turn over they have.
Man City - The best football and probably best sports sites out there. It is revolutionary compared to most other premier league teams sites.
Made by aqueduct and another company I cant remembered the name of sorry! The City site features Cufon (javascript text replacement – pretty common now), javascript box displays and sliders. All very modern stuff and the design is very visual which is the main thing I like. I am pretty sure the new design of the site has been up for nearly a year, and when it first was launched I was blown away by it.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Manchester United, Liverpool websites are all ok, but they are nothing amazing you can find most information you want, but they are too cluttered. Most sites also have splash pages which are very annoying as it is generally just trying to sell you some nonsense.

I found out from work that a lot teams have signed up for a long time contract mostly in the Championship, and they have to stick to a certain layout and design. You can see the similarities between these sites: Sunderland, Stoke, Wolves.
You would guess that the big premier league teams would invest money into a good website like Man City. With City having taken the first step in pushing football websites into the modern age I am sure the rest will follow.
