I picked Sunderland (fricking stupid) because they stayed up at the end of the year I was watching a lot online. Last year's relegation escape was fun as hell and their progression (or avoidance of relegation) will always be most important to me. I've been on their boards for a couple years now and have learned a ton about the region. Also realized that my really good friend's dad who worked at Avondale shipyard on the Westbank when we were kids was actually going to that region when he had to go to England pretty regularly for work when we were in elementary school(CSB).
However, I've also really grown to like southhampton as well, and the manner in which their Academy produces such great prospects without the resources of the mega clubs.
I also find myself rooting for spurs, liverpool, and even Man United most of of the time. I just as a whole have really enjoyed reading up on many teams histories, traditions, fans, parks, etc. The only teams I really can say I pull against are arsenal, hull, and Newcastle. Can't really explain to you why(other than Newcastle and that's not even what I'd call true disdain), but just where my interest has taken me over last few years.
I however, don't know how someone could just up and become a die hard fan of a team like Real... I think we all like to watch their play and greatness, but it'd be hard for me to "root" for a team who has multiple players that are worth more on the market than the majority of their opponent's side are collectively.

Exactly why I picked Wolves.
They finished 20th the following year.
Then, they get relegated in the Championship.
The next year they got promoted back to the Championship.
It has been quite a roller coaster ride, but I am a casual fan at best. I only care about the USMNT.
