Wippersnapper posted:I’m thinking of taking up watching Premier League as all sports I normally watch are going to have their off-seasons now and I’ve been getting more into the sport after we got the Canadian Premier League. Need some goon advice on which team to cheer for. I want one with nice kits obviously, but mainly a team not boring, that wins sometimes so they won’t be relegated, but not a bandwagon team. Everton would fit the bill for you, having supported them for the last 10 years or so I would say they are great at getting your hopes up and then destroying them mercilessly (source). They have traditionally been the 7th place team that is "better than the rest" although last season they finished 12th and surrendered their plucky underdog card to Leicester and Wolves. This season so far the hype train is at full power, especially with how their new signings looked at Tottenham on Sunday, so most likely we are either going to finally break into the top 6 or succumb to injuries and fall back into a pit of despair before repeating the process next year. They also have the best kits according to a lovely article I read. Injuries are the biggest worry since the squad lacks depth but as long as James Rodriguez stays fit and Richarlison remembers how to finish goals then it will surely be an entertaining season.

You're going to get called names regardless of which team you pick. So might as well pick a good one. Like Liverpool. Depending on what other sports you like you can also use that to determine who to support. Man City have a partnership with the Yankees to run NYC FC & Liverpool are owned by the same group that owns the Red Sox, for instance.

The Saudi oil masters are missing a real trick. Why spent £300m buying one club in one league when you could keep grassroots football going by buying 600 clubs at all different levels in the hopes that one of them makes some money? I thought diversifying your portfolio was something that big money people love to do, cant get more diverse than buying and owning the entire Isthmian League

The only idea worse than arbitrarily deciding to support a team you have no connection to before you ever even see them play is deciding to support them based on the loving owner. If you like watching football, watch some football. You will naturally favour one team over the others very quickly.
