Epl which team are you
The next five warranted an extra-close look, but ultimately I just wasn't hooked by any of them. Blackburn -- Everyone agrees this is the dirtiest team in the EPL -- they even take a fair amount of pride in this fact.
So that was appealing. More than one reader dropped the Green Bay Packers comparison here. Unfortunately, they're rarely shown on channel and I couldn't gamble on the whole relegation thing. But I'm keeping an eye on them. Everton -- Not only are they Liverpool's biggest rival, but multiple readers compared them to the Oakland A's -- they keep unearthing prized young stars like Wayne Rooney, the England star who stomped someone in the nuts during the World Cup and selling them off to one of the big teams.
Sorry, Everton. Unfortunately, they have no fans -- I probably got three e-mails making their case. West Ham -- Demoted in but climbed back up to the EPL and finished in ninth place in -- so they've had some recent suffering, as well as a reputation of finding young studs who end up leaving in their primes for bigger teams. I have to say, I loved their jerseys. They have a cool nickname "The Hammers".
They're even based in London. But there were two major drawbacks. First, one of my readers described them as "Good for people who like '80s music and make references to George Michaels.
Again, I want to minimize the role of hooligans in my life -- it's been a productive three and a half decades without them and I'd like to keep the streak going.
Manchester United -- Estimated number of "I don't care who you pick, just don't pick Manchester United" e-mails: At least By all accounts, they're the New York Yankees of the EPL -- they outspend everyone else, everyone hates them, and even their own fans don't enjoy rooting for them that much. Financially, they blow almost everyone out of the water and purchase as many up-and-coming young stars as possible; they're almost like a European All-Star team.
That's no fun. Although I will say that I love Rooney's work and wish he was on another team -- he reminds me of a drunken Derrick on "Fresh Meat. Anyway, can you imagine knowing a foreigner in their mids who was looking for a baseball team and announced, "I'm going with the Yankees! I don't want to be that guy.

It's a team that fights hard, prioritizes teamwork and has some really good players. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is quite the player, and striker Jamie Vardy is synonymous with that title run. Add in the signing of talented midfielder Youri Tielemans and an experienced coach in Brendan Rodgers, and you've got a stable club that can make some noise.
West Ham: Why would you want to root for West Ham if you have no connections to the team or London and don't really know anything about ironwork? The best answer I have for that question is bandwagon jumping is unpleasant. As someone new to following the Premier League in the last decade, rooting for the Hammers just made sense.
Sure, West Ham is short on trophies, superstars and American fans. And, at best, the Hammers are the fourth-most talked about team in their own city.
But that's the appeal. A club named for ship builders that's a perennial underdog? I'd rather cheer for them any day than become another American millennial front-runner in a Chelsea jersey.
Watford: Watford's trophy case may be bare, but this is a team that is an underdog that plays for the love of the game, has a fantastic fan base and some cool colors with a mix of yellow, black and red. Watford has never won a trophy of any significance, but that's the appeal for rooting for them, because when the club does, it will be absolutely magical.
The club made the final of the FA Cup last season before getting blasted by Manchester City, but coach Javi Garcia has brought stability to this team and hopes to have another deep cup run this season with their quick pace and fierce midfield. Crystal Palace: Two of the three owners are Americans, they have a really cool stadium in Selhurst Park and are always the underdog.
But this team, with it's unique blue and red jersey, has some really good players with Wilfried Zaha leading the way. The club has flirted with relegation in recent seasons but has a bit of stability now. Crystal Palace plays a fast, frantic style that is a pleasure to watch and is always involved in some of the wildest games of the year. Bournemouth: The true underdogs. The Cherries are in most games they play and give the big dogs a run for their money more often than not.
Just 10 years ago, they were in the fourth division. They climbed up to the third division, and three years after that they made it to the second division. There for just two seasons, they earned Premier League promotion in and have finished on average around 13th place which is more than respectable.
Also, the Cherries is an awesome nickname and the red and black look is slick. Aston Villa: Well, when I first became a Villa supporter it was because I was looking for two things. The first was that I didn't want to support a big six club because I hate front-running. The second was, while I didn't want to root for one of the top clubs, I also didn't want to run the risk of seeing my team relegated, and Aston Villa was big enough to avoid that pitfall.
Or so I thought! Several years later that's what happened, but now they're back! And if you're a fan of redemption stories, then Aston Villa is the club for you. They've come close to the top of the mountain, fallen off of it, and have now begun the climb back toward the top. And, unlike a lot of newly promoted clubs, it's a large club that's well-funded and has a strong desire to stay and challenge the big six.
Plus, the name is cool. Aston Villa sounds like the name of an estate that James Bond would retire to and drink martinis. Norwich City: Noriwch is the second division champs and hoping to make noise to stave off relegation.
The Canaries have awesome yellow and green uniforms and one of the coolest stadiums in Carrow Road. Chelsea just spent over million euros on new players for the upcoming season while Man City was most recently linked with Lionel Messi, the greatest player of this generation before he decided to stay put as his current club Barcelona.
