frick staring, I'd be happy just to be able to look up at it.
I will say this to the OP. Having a team avoid relegation is a completely different feeling and rooting interest than anything else you've likely experienced. I'm sure it feels awesome to have your team win the league and play champions league football, but watching them avoid relegation and having the fear of essentially losing the awesome access we have here on NBC is intense as hell. When it is achieved (often too close for comfort) the relief you feel is a pretty unique experience. Fear is pretty exciting driving emotion to feel (at least for me) while watching "important" matches for your club. It's kind of an adrenaline rush.

i picked leeds 15 years ago because they were the exciting young team that was somewhat overachieving and playing an exciting style. worst decision
everton also appealed to me and has been a close second to leeds in england because i liked certain players (rooney, lee carsley, gravesen, david weir, big dunc) and moyesy the GOAT.
other teams i would consider right now if i were in OP's shoes: arsenal(used to hate wenger but i love the guy now), southampton, stoke (let's face it the stokadelphia days are gone and they are somewhat likeable) crystal palace and swansea (they remind me of everton about 10-12 years ago, monk reminds me of moyes)
