Premier League 17/18

[adam]

Anyone know what Premier League team I should support. I'm pretty sick of watching as a neutral. I've been thinking Tottenham because of Jewish origins but I'm not sure.

Do it. Yid Army achi!

Do PV and the other Invincibles have a champagne and cigar celebration every year like the '72 Dolphins when the last undefeated EPL team loses?

Man City. It obviously looks bad jumping on the bandwagon now. But, I didn't have a Premier League team and NYCFC was, is, and will always be my first team. Supporting the other City teams are just more seamless. Cynergy.

OTOH, Man City fucked NYCFC more than other team in soccer world wide.
Not going to argue this well worn point. Just want both sides represented here.

Yeah, Lampardgate really fucked us, yes. But I've forgiven that because Kreis was even worse with his part of the roster construction. On the plus side, they've learned from that early mistake. Yangel Herrera has been amazing for us and we have him back for another season. Patrick Vieira has been amazing as a manager. It's a good connection.

Also, you only have to buy one color of clothes to support the teams.

Make your choice. New York remembers.

Probably crack open a tin of pate.

I think I gotta go with Spurs. They play very entertaining Soccer and I have a real connection to them.

To be honest I've become a bit disaffected with them for a related reason. They attracted my interest in part because they were a very well run team. Now they're rather a mess, with 5 managers in the last 3 seasons, not even counting interims. I hoped the new ownership, who came in in the middle of this stretch, would help stabilize things, but it hasn't helped at all.

I think they should have stuck with Monk and backed him. Also, people underrate Rodgers as a manager.

They've apparently even driven you to change your avatar.

Right now I might change it to Stefon Diggs

Reminded me of Willy Beaman.

Oh they would have totally kept Rodgers if one of those nasty big clubs didn't steal him away.

And I agree about Monk. I liked him and thought he deserved a chance to get them through that season.

Well that’s fine ‘cuz
We’ve got Salah... du dududu du du

Sorry. Been singing this all week.

Could wait to see if an NYCFC players ends up as a key part of an EPL club at some point and then go with that one.

That's my adopted team, since around 2010 and Bale / Modric / Defoe. With Poch they've been punching above their weight, playing attractive, sound soccer at a budget well below the big four. Oh they'll break your heart in the end, but that's always part of the deal unless you're one of those dicks that adopt Chelsea or man united. Added bonus : it's so much fun to hate on arsenal

Yep and yep.

Screw it. I’m posting this clip that everyone has seen because if you don’t drink in the good and great and fun of a big win, you’re doing it wrong.

Yes, I want trophies. But I’ll be damned if I’m ever win shamed about being happy about celebrating any victory of any team I support. (Not that anyone here has. By definition and prior evidence, we all probably feel that way.)

Trophies are great. But if that’s the only thing that gives you joy as a fan of a team in any sport, you’re doing it all wrong.
