re: How did you choose your favorite BPL team?

I just feel like a lot of serious supporters in the US (or people who are serious about learning the game and getting into it) will pick one of the two.

By that I mean people will see either club as a strong option for those who don't want to jump on board with a perennial favorite. Both have good supporters clubs in the US, have US players in one form or another and are accessible enough for the US fan.

Our local EFC club has some disdain for Tottenham, as do I (in a sporting way), that just isn't replicated in the UK that I can tell (Most EFC fans in England, as far as I know, generally like Spurs, probably for the same reasons Americans may choose between them).

Interesting. I would think that most Spurs supporters in the US that chose Spurs over Everton would have no ill feelings towards the Toffees. I, for one, pull for Everton as long as they aren't playing Spurs or so long as an Everton victory doesn't negatively impact Spurs' position.
