Initially this website takes a little time to load up, partly because it has a number of flash sections. The two most noticeable art the news section and the squad player profiles. The navigation bar is along the top of the website which gives more room for additional features. As you can see from the grid there is a lot going on in this website, including lots of links and a number of advertisements. There is also a small search bar in the top right corner of the website, although it is very good I get the impression that it is not seen as a major feature as it is a little hard to notice. Overall the main structure of the website and the navigation is very good, and it is quite fast once you overcome the initial loading time.
