Aston Villa is my club. You'll never ever ever be accused of being a bandwagoner.

The other team I pull for is Tottenham, due to having a few friends who pulled for them when I initially started watching.

Either of those would be a good bet, but as mentioned, neither is going to radically excite you in terms of winning Cups.

Don't worry, i looked at Arsenal's roster and no one caught my eye.

I picked Ross Barkley/Howard over Sterling

As others have said, it's probably best to watch a bunch of games and see which teams you are naturally drawn to.

Having said that - if I have a favorite it is probably Arsenal and mostly because I thought it was cool that they were started by workers from the Royal Arsenal making a team. And they have that cool cannon on their crest of course . Didn't hurt that they have this weird by cool Arsene Wegner guy as their coach.

Just track your players and support them, even if they go team to team. You don't live in England. You don't have ties to the respective communities. No one is going to care who you pull for. You shouldn't care if a bunch of Americans call you a "bandwagoner" when none of you live in England.

This. I chose to follow Arsenal without seeing a match, and I just couldn't get into them. Saw a Liverpool match and I was hooked. Watch a while and you will latch on to a team.

1) Are you American?
2) Do you love Tim Howard?
3) Does Roberto Martinez's voice make you excited about whatever he is taking about?

If you answered yes to all three, congrats you're an Evertonian.

I'll add that Arsenal is really hard for me not to pull for...

Yep. It is silly to just pick a team if you are new to EPL. Watch and you will start rooting for someone soon enough.

This.

Hell, I'm still sort of bouncing between the teams I really love.

I agree with all this except for the spelling of "piqued"...

Liverpool's main sponsor is a beer company. Easy decision for an LSU fan.

Um, no it's not. It's a bank. Lord knows we need more banks.

obviously they have great players (Ramsay, Ozil, Podolski), i just didn't see anyone who interested me.

I just don't know much, but if you tell me more about Arsenal i might start watching them.
