    What Premier League team should I be a fan of ?

    I have some Man U jerseys cuz I like the aesthetic. But other than that , I have limited sentimentality to any team. Maybe Liverpool bc that's who the cloggies like

    How foreigners usually decide these things

    You can't go for one of the big ones like Man City or Liverpool because you'll be called a glory hunter. I think you've missed the boat on Newcastle as well.

    At the other end you could go for one of the newly promoted teams but that'd be miserable.

    The fact you've already got Man Utd shirts make them a good call. They're not shit but not winning anything but they will do.

    If not one of the London teams. Chelsea, west ham, spurs etc.

    Yeah glory hunting is lame. Man Utd was the front runner
    anyway so I might as well go with them.

    What team are you a fan of ?

    for fucks sake backspin, the premier league is full of diva footballers with look at me haircuts, pimped up bentleys and inflated opinions of both their skills and their importance. virtue signalling socialists, african rapists and attention seeking northerners in it for the money and little else.

    everybody knows that real soccer is to be found in the championship league, thats where you will find real sportsmen playing for the win, the glory and the honour.

    the team you want is leeds united.

    You do not choose a team to support. They choose you.

    You will continue to be a fake, teenage mutant ninja wart, and as you have no attachment, no team will choose you.

    It's not like soccer is a real game anyway. It’s another failed American invention, based on advertising and showmanship. In other words, it’s ideally suited to you.

    Forget about association football. While it’s not about life and death, it’s way too advanced for a fake like you!

    A team already chose me for my national sport. Which is ice hockey. You incredibly dour and cretinous lout.

    A team also chose me for international football. But it doesn't work that way on the club level now does it. The premier league season starts in the off season for hockey. So I want to give it a shot


    The other points you made in this post is madness. Soccer...american ... ? What the Christ

    For example I always knew the LA Raiders growing up in the 90s.

    Now they are the Las Vegas Raiders.

    Apparently before moving to LA they were based in Oakland, and were the Oakland Raiders.


    WTAF.


    Akin to Sheffield Wednesday moving to Bolton for 20 years and becoming Bolton Wednesday, then moving to Norwich and becoming Norwich Wednesday for 10 years before moving to another city. Americans just have no soul, no values, no connection to anything but obesity and low IQs.

    Wimbledon moved from uh, Wimbledon to Milton Keynes and renamed MK Dons.


    Pattaya City/Utd moved from Chonburi to Samut Prakan and renamed Samut Prakan City.

    Choose something nearby you. What's the point of choosing an UK based team?

    Yeah, they were in serious trouble, there was emergency talk of them possibly moving to Dublin. Full renaming as to start fresh. The Dublin Dons doesn't really sound too impressive, but more like 5 guys that play fiddles in pubs on Sunday evenings.

    Asking such dumb questions exposes you to ridicule, if you had any knowledge of association football, you would not ask such a stupid question.

    Please carry on being abusive. It emphasizes your childishness. Of course ‘soccer’ is American, it’s easier to spell, and avoids confusion with ice hockey, which is not part of the topic.

    Id argue that football is easier to spell.

    Phonetically easier with the oo and it's basically just two words put together while soccer could be confusing with two C's making a k sound.

    I support Everton. Some seasons I even try and learn a few of their players names. What I like about Everton is that they usually have really important games right up until the end of the season.

    After Arsenal, Everton is the club with the second-longest continuous presence in English top-flight football, and ranks third in the all-time points rankings.

    The club has won nine league titles, five FA Cups, one European Cup Winners' Cup and nine Charity Shields

    They had some great players, Royle , Kendall and after Alberto di Stefano and Lev Yashin Dixie Dean probably the finest forward player to play in Britain

    William Ralph "Dixie" Dean (22 January 1907 – 1 March 1980) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward. Dean holds the record for the most goals scored in a single season in top-flight English football, with 60. He is regarded as one of the greatest centre-forwards of all time and was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.
    lest we forget "Trump said Ukraine started the war"

    I was thinking Armstrong was a Hull supporter. Maybe I’m mistaken.
