I got Chelsea, but I never considered them an option. I'll still keep an open mind.

I took the quiz, it said Tottenham Hotspur. 2nd was Everton at 77%

I watched the highlights from the game too, pretty exciting finish to it

I might go with them actually. Good choice Soccer Board?

Yes. Fun club to root for. They will break your heart though. But I have faith in Poch, and we have tons of young talent that is exciting to watch.

We win enough to enjoy yourself, but we lose enough so you won't be accused of being a bandwagon fan.

And watching the Premier League in general, you have to temper your expectations. We aren't winning the league, barring a miracle. But we can shoot for Top 4 and Champions League some years. Probably not this year though. New manager, young team, and tons of talent and expectations at the big clubs.

Also, the team is very likable, and they seem to get along quite well. Eric Dier is a brand new player here, but they pile on him like he's a brother (notice it get's three high ). Some of the bigger clubs have lots of egos and the celebrations don't seem genuine all of the time. Spurs even let a fan join in on the celebration today.

My quiz results were Newcastle and West Ham. For a Leeds fan, that sounds about right.

Does anyone on here closely follow German or Italian or Spanish leagues?


I mostly watch German and Sapnish Leagues. I gravitated to Borussia Dortmund because they remid me of LSU fans. Their fans are notoriously loud, and their stadium is intimidating. They bring in a ton of young talent, sell them to the Yankees, then reload with more talent. They are very aggressive, and press all the time. They're fun to watch.

Oh and Jurgen Klopp is a

That quiz gave me 100 percent for both United and City.

Arsenal and Everton were close behind, which was nice.

The That's one of the stadiums in the world that I would love to see. Those people are ferocious, and the atmosphere seems Deaf Valley-ish. The team has the "frick you, I'm taking the ball and going the other way" mentality to go along with the fans too.


From the WSJ

quote:

Dortmund's average attendance in the league this season has been more than 80,000—higher than Barcelona's and higher than Manchester United's. More than 50,000 of those fans are season-ticket holders. A season ticket in the Yellow Wall costs just €180 to €190 ($234 to $247). That's works out to about €11 ($14) per game.

"Without problem, we can make a price of 17, 18, 19 euros," Watzke said. "It's marvelous. But it's not our way, because that's the heart of Borussia. And if someone wants to belong to the heart, then he has to have the possibility, even if he has low income."

The waiting list to belong to that heart is 37,000 people long.
