What club should I adopt as my favorite in the Premier League this year?

In 1990, Andy Hinchcliffe became the first ever white footballer to play a full league match for Everton

I abandoned Everton for Wolverhampton.

There is only Blackpool

everything in context imo

xp wolves a good shout but its better to pick a club we dont have a supporter of already imo

I'm always fascinated by the existence of a team named "Crystal Palace", where is the crystal palace

shame they haven't rebuilt it

silby i beg pls to join ilf as a follower of crystal palace

Good to see our overseas marketing paying dividends

dollar parity has a way of focusing yere minds id say

palace are "my english team" in the most desultory manner possible

i think this was purely because they're the eagles and their rivals are the seagulls.

eagles v seagulls

very sad there are no takers for plucky little Bournemouth. no I take that back - shit ground no fans!

I'll take this under advisement, but I can't even manage to think about baseball more than twice per year so it's long odds

what's the most web-1.0-bauhaus aggregator of football match outcomes, I don't want to have to watch any video content to engage with this bit

its here id say, depending on whatever the fuck aggregator means in context rly

FlashScore seems pretty minimal

sez Crystal Palace lost to something called the Young Boys in something called the Uhren Cup

Young Boys bit of a shady name for a team honestly

sounds just like some Vichy France era type enterprise ... hmmmm

... now confusingly renamed Young Fellows Juventus.

... named after Isaac Newell, from the English county of Kent, one of the pioneers of Argentine football.

we have like 3 palace fans already - bananaman begins, flowersdie and ambrose (latter two may be same person). we don't need any more

what's the team for contrarian bourgeois intellectuals

arsenal

figures

Was Arsenal, but definitely now Spurs.

dont mind him its arsenal

Most of ILX support Spurs, enough said?

but id submit a decent range in that, otherwise id acknowledge the point

Lol at that Norwich own goal

Ok so darragh voted for both Arsenal and Crystal Palace for me, Tom for the Spurs, imago implicitly for something other than Crystal Palace just for diversity. I’m leaning toward Arsenal I suppose unless someone has another idea. Do I have to read that Nick Hornby book?

i didnt vote for arsenal

Oh sorry for being misrepresenting your stance, you’re right of course you just answered my question.

Anyway I’m going to try out this bit for at least one weekend

And I didn't vote for Spurs.

Silby, Crystal Palace are nicknamed the Glaziers which is pretty badass and their stadium is super cool, if they ever clear the hump and move into a corporate monster stadium you can proudly date your fandom to humbler times.

It must be ten years ago now but I remember reading a BIll Simmons article about picking a team to follow. I wanted to follow a London team and was drawn twd Spurs but resisted for a long time because I really don't like that guy and didn't want to join all his dumb readers.

But ultimately they won out by process of elimination, mainlly because I liked those white kits and for deeply rooted baseball reasons can't support a team that wears red.

Support Brighton

Sorry can’t abide a seagull

American Arsenal fans are the absolute worst.

Uh oh! Sorry specific user such as imago I’m gonna have to join the Crystal Palace section

the actual reason i was against it is that i support one of their rivals. we are now foes haha

Also u will likely have to pick a new favourite premier league team next year silby. But welcome aboard. Imago's puce faced rage when we fluke a win makes it all worthwhile

So far I have seen all of the Premier matches, 1.5 of the Europa matches. They're sticking better than Everton did when I tried to root for them. I like their style of play and logo

I have a Wolves jersey en route via DHL.

Also I lied when I was San Te I had never been to Indiana prior to this year
