No question.

If they say they aren't, they are lying to themselves.

Hendo, it could be A LOT worse. He could have picked Chelsea because of Schurrle.

I just don't know if you can really be called a bandwagon fan if the team is in the bottom half of the table every year...

I just liked that Villa had 2 americans when I started following them (Guzan, Lichaj).

Research team histories man. That's why I am a Liverpool fan. I didn't even know who any of their players were before I started watching last year. You'd be surprised at how cool some of the traditions are of each team.

this is exactly what I need to do. Is there an already existing thread on this?

Wikipedia is your best source. Just search for the "Barclay's Premier League on there and there are links for each of the current clubs on that page. Start going through them one by one to see if anything jumps out at you. Then watch a good deal of matches.

When normal factors aren't an option like this, I always look at fanbases and playstyle. Are the fans the type of people I'd fit in with and do they play a style of soccer that I'd pay to watch?

None of us "picked" our team. The team picked us. Just go watch a shite ton of games until something give you goosebumps.

Then you know. It's a feeling more than anything. You'll know it when it happens.

AC Milan is actually the worst of the bunch based on domestic play. Of course, they still fared decently in the UCL.

As a long time Milan fan there is no glory right now and it will be a long time the way the management is working.

I rate their European history every bit as great as Reals. 5 of their trophys were in black and before anyone noticed. Sucks a Milan great took them to the top again.

I am not questioning AC Milan's history in the slightest. They are one of the most decorated clubs in Europe. I was just saying that they are down right now.

Picture this guy on dial up internet in the 90s watching David Beckham videos. That's how I grew to like soccer & specifically Manchester United

I'm going to try to jump on the Swansea bandwagon this year and see how that works. They were effectively the first EPL team that I heard of that wasn't one of the powerhouses and they play a Dutch team regularly that I'll be following this year as well.
