Everton:...Arguments for some of the non-top teams:<br /><br />Everton: Good tradition, good fans, out-perform their "chequebook" every year. They usually have some interesting characters, including Fellaini (my favorite player in the league) and Carnevale Italiano veteran Tim Howard<br /><br />Newcastle: Outstanding atmosphere with a huge and full stadium, lovable losers, their fans seem the most drunk out of anyone, cool uniforms. Downside is that their fans seem to have the Clemson/Auburn/etc syndrome of thinking their team should be better than it is<br /><br />Sunderland: Kind of like Newcastle (right across the river), only less famous and red stripes instead of black. Also, Jozy Altidore.<br /><br />Stoke: Awesome home atmosphere, everyone hates them. Hyper-physical. Play absolutely hideous soccer. Unfortunately, they just changed managers, so some of this stuff might not stick. Old manager wore a baseball hat during games which drove people crazy. For a few years, their most effective attack (by far) was a really long (and awesome) throw-in. <br /><br />West Ham: I believe this is TJ's 2nd team. Known for violence. Probably one of the better places to see a game in London.<br /><br />I'd probably draw the line there. Mostly everyone else is dull and/or legit relegation fodder. <br /><br />If you like Wales, there's 2 of them now. Swansea is legitimately decent and should be around for a while. <br /><br />Also there were a solid 100+ Arsenal fans at Lucky Bar for the game on Saturday at 10 AM, which I found to be really surprising.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546802304698812963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-35692672563120565522013-08-20T18:17:10.927-04:002013-08-20T18:17:10.927-04:00so many good choices...
All of the big names list...so many good choices...<br /><br />All of the big names listed here, and I feel like I need an underdog (yes Mark--like the Wizards.) I DON'T want to cheer for the Yankees or Lakers of the EPL. I like team-ball, which is why I like the OKC Thunder and Brad Stevens Bulter teams. Is there a Butler of the EPL? <br /><br />Crysal Palace does make the connection to two of the very classy clubs in DC...<br /><br />But I think the deciding factor will be the coach/manager. The new manager of Southampton is kinda hot. So I think the Saints might be my team this season.Shlarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424527658920201319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-27414948445818011562013-08-20T17:20:36.008-04:002013-08-20T17:20:36.008-04:00dave will find this amusing:

They could be your 2014-14 BPL sleepers.
