re: I am in - need EPL team to root for

The year I picked Tottenham, they finished 7th I think. Maybe higher.

I just watched a bunch of games and I was drawn to them. I liked their name, the name of their stadium, the atmosphere. All of it. I also liked that they had rivals that were more successful than them. Sports can be more enjoyable when you aren't expected to win every game. That's why being an LSU football fan is hard sometimes. Even when they win, did they look good enough?

And don't let anyone talk you out of supporting a club because they aren't top tier right now. Every club is just a Russian billionaire or an Emir away from being a top tier club.
