At first glance, it looks a little generic to me for a football (not soccer you americans) orientated site. However, looking closer, it still looks a little too generic to be a football orientated forum with only the mediocre looking logo to say it's a football site.
Jazz the logo a little. Implement images, images of a higher quality so the logo stands out.
The red and black otherwise okay don't really fit the style of a footballers theme. I would suggest in adding icons and buttons that give off a football theme. If it's directed at just one club then possibly use that teams colours if not go for something neutral.
Arsenal fan hey? I predict Man utd win 3-1 tomorrow to hand over the league title or keep it with us.
