i recomend finding a supporters club of a team near you and watching some games with them (should be able to find one if you are close to a major city). this is what solidified me as a spurs supporter, as it makes the games more exciting to follow. i'm voting fulham, though, as i still feel bad for abandoning them back when i was thinking about following them instead.

Just noticed this thread.
Voted Bolton because:
1. I think we may have 1 Bolton fan already, but he doesn't post much.2. I think they may be plucky underdogs who'll surprise a few big teams this season.3. Kevin Davies fans to bring a fun challops discussion on a slow week,4. Lee looks like one of the most exciting young players in the league and watching him can put a big smile on your face.5. Owen Coyle looks like a genuinely exciting coach - 'good' but smart football that should see them steadily rise the table.6. Elmander will bring the lols.7. You can keep an eye on Arsenal loanees for me.

I almost wonder if there shouldn't be a "who do you support in the prem" poll just to see how many actual supporters of each team there are on dis ting. or at least a resurrected thread where we take a census of such a thing. if someone made the poll though there'd have to be a "i don't support any of these teams enough to vote for one" selection tho cos people would vote anyway even tho they never talk fb.

I'm guessing most of the votes were so that darraghmac & co could slag you off/wind him up, but welcome to the Liverpool Fan Club!

But hey there's a lot worse clubs to follow than Liverpool based on the criteria OP was looking for, partic if they can manage their expectations.

five years late, I fucked over the poll and picked Everton. largely cos they met at least two of my criterion and have Tim Howard.
and Fox Sports 2 Go makes it easier to actually watch the shit on my time.
