Read the book "how soccer explains the world" then decide.

Liverpool is by far the coolest club. But we don't "want" you. You have to become attached.

Chelsea is fricking gay.

Mancs are fricking gay.

Tottenham LOL unless you're a jew.

I'd wipe my arse with City.

Arsenal, meh, frenchie fricks with a stumpy injured dwarf as their best player.

Basically just frick off, watch a season of EPL and then decide.

Stumpy?



Also, the French connection is a nice tie in for people of Louisiana I would think. It really had nothing to do with why I picked them, but it is nice after the fact.

I think he meant Wilshere by the injured comment

Oh, I know. It was just my way of saying Wilshere isn't the best player on Arsenal. I'd probably rank the outfield like this:

1. Ozil
2. Alexis
3. Koscielny
4. Cazorla
5. Giroud
6. Ramsey
7. Wilshere

I love watching games at Selhurst Park. The continuous song/chant they do is pretty cool.

I don't know about this. I think Chelsea's dealings of late have been pretty shrewd. Now, early Uncle Roman was crazy spending, but that was how you got ahead at the time. City just dropped $70M on Sterling; how they're not the "Yankees" (I hate these comparisons, though) beats me.

Yes. Fair statement.

Also a fair point.

Given that they Yankees haven't won anything in several years, perhaps Liverpool is the Yankees.

Chelsea's deals have actually been pretty interesting to me, lately. I think we need some creative help in midfield, but I think we've built a solid team. Plus, we seemingly convince other teams to pay out-of-the-arse for players we no longer want.

I agree with most of the sentiments in here. Let a team "pick you". I do like what Southampton has been doing lately, maybe choose them if you don't want a top team.
