I need help choosing a EPL team to support.

Why the hate for Stoke City?

The one that's still in the champions league

When I first started watching EPL, I just watched a ton of matches and chose a club whose style of play I liked.

They are very physical, they play a boring style of football, they are not technically gifted, they seem to cause injuries to opposing teams, and Shawcross and others are thugs.

However, they use their inferior talent wisely by taking long shots, having monster throws-in, and basically try to score on set pieces and headers. I respect the frick out of them for trying to take advantage of a fairly tough situation, but they are scum, especially their low class fans (imagine tards from Bama/Arkansas).

In all honestly I say go with Newcastle. We only have one magpie here and it would help with parity on the board. The club has a decent history and is a lot of fun to watch. Most importantly it's on the up and up and will be challenging the top 4 consistently for the next few years.

If I were you, I'd pick Newcastle. Or Swansea. They've got a good little club.

Don't be influenced by anybody on this board. Just watch plenty of teams and figure out which ones you enjoy.

This.



And... Glory Glory Man United!

Honestly, just watch a bunch of games and then choosing your favorite. You can choose on style, players, kits, history, city, etc. It's your decision. Because we're getting close end of the season, I'd recommend trying to narrow it down to several teams based on whatever your criterion is and then you can choose which team to support over the summer for the new season. You'll probably be drawn to at least 1 or 2 teams.

Like others said, Newcastle and Swansea would both be solid choices. They're performing much better than most expected to. Newcastle is sitting at a solid 6th place and Swansea was promoted this season and is currently in 11th but only 4 points off of 7th. Swansea's tactics are really fun to watch and their style of play is pretty similar to Barcelona's. Both teams seem to have a bright future. These two clubs aren't shown as regularly as the top 5 + Liverpool, but soccer with fsc you can get most games and you'll always be able to use the internet too.

If you choose a top 5 team, some may call you a bandwagon fan. I would ignore that in your selection process. Unless if you're 130 years old, you are a bandwagon fan to some degree. There are no guarantees about how a team will perform next season.
