[YI]

All Wigan have going for them is there chairman owns JJB - so they have unlimited resources practically.

I would like to think that Wigan practice in those old school indoor football cages JJB used to have in their bigger shops. Those were class. You'd just go in, kick the shit out of some random kids and leave.

If it means anything, I'm an Arsenal supporter but I also adopt Fulham as a second team since I lived there for a while and there's something I find quite likeable about them.

[therockbox]

Haha I remember those, I was crushed when I found out they'd taken them away.

Cut:

Bolton Wanderers - The Wanderers? No thanks...

Charlton Athletic - No clue, but gone.

Manchester City - Well if I were going for a Manchester team it'd be the other.

Manchester United - Obvious reasons

Middlesbrough - Again, cut for no apperent reason.

Newcastle United - See above.

Watford - They just sound bad.

West Ham United - I don't like ham.

Wigan Athletic - Dislike their name.

I miss those. Our JJB is near the cinema so it was always a case of going in there for a kick about before going to see a film. That or go play on some games in Toys R Us.

And how dare you cut Charlton and M'Boro.

Unless you want to be hated you'll want to get rid of Chelsea, seeing as they've pretty much taken over as everyone's least favourite group of fans.

Again, if you're cutting Man Utd, you may as well cut Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

They're the bandwagon teams.

[Buford Ripley]

Ech, I used to have respect for Chelsea then the cash injection came and my friend who supports them became a cunt about it. Thus I now loathe them.

[ACCBiggz]

Cut: Chelsea - It seems they are hated, and why would I want to take the brunt of abuse for a team I know little about?

Arsenal is hanging in there because of Henry... simply for Henry.

[gunnar hendershow]

BOO FOR CUTTING NEWCASTLE! You should've joined me as another Yank supporting the Magpies.

Anyway...

Blackburn and Fulham, with the exception of the bandwagon teams, are the two most popular teams over here because Americans play for them. Arsenal and Chelsea are bandwagon teams. Reading, Portsmouth, and Sheff U are all going to be relegation battlers this year I think. So if I were you I'd pick either Blackburn, Fulham, Everton, Villa, or Tottenham. Liverpool aren't a huge bandwagon over here, but they're a successful season or two away from being just that. Then again, I guess Tottenham are also.

[Liam]

Yeah, cut Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal

[9 to 5]

Blackburn.

I support them, they have the most successful American footballer outside his home lland IMO, and we don't dive around the place. Outside Pedersen.

[ACCBiggz]

Final Eight:

Arsenal

Aston Villa

Blackburn Rovers

Everton

Fulham

Portsmouth

Sheffield United

Tottenham Hotspur

I think I'll take a look at some of their kits, players, styles, history, etc... as I continue to narrow the field down.

[Guest Ringo Hates Divers]

You kept in Sheffield United?

Have fun downloading the games next season

[Liam]

Yeah, drop Sheffield for sure.

[Buford Ripley]

Why not make quite a lot of EWB members here happy by adopting Spurs already? There seems to be quite a number of Spurs fans on here.

[YI]

Have you got any links to England at all? Jus wondering. Because even the slightest link (Like your grans dog was sent on mail order from Yorkshire), it's easier to get into a team that you feel sme loyalty too, IMO.
