OP's Fulham list is pretty deceptive, since it's a lot (most?) people itt's 2nd favorite.

Wolves or Newcastle imo... Usually I would tell you to support Arsenal, but there's too many of us here. Newcastle will be pretty hit or miss, but they're fresh out of the Championship and they have a decent shot of staying up. Wolves are in a similar situation in that there's a good chance of them fighting relegation...

In any case though, after watching for a while you'll probably settle on a team, and there's a good chance that it won't be any of those listed. But those are my suggestions. Birmingham is worth a crack too, as they are doing quite well but they may very well suffer from second season syndrome. I might actually choose Blackpoooooooooooooool in your position, but they're bound to be relegated.

Okay, from just a viewing perspective, these teams generally play the most attractive football:
Arsenal
United
Chelsea (a huge change over years past)

The best "English" Style, and by this I mean the fun to watch variety, not the boring variety:
Spurs
Newcastle

Good, but sort of boring English style:
Villa
Everton
Fulham

Boring, almost 100% of the time:
Blackburn
Bolton (might change)
Wolves
Sunderland
Birmingham

Wildcard:
West Brom
Wigan

Both of the wild card teams can look great or horrible depending on who they are playing. Both run the risk of being relegated pretty easily as well.

Teams no one cares about:
Pool
Citeh

He may earn a spot on one of my lists.
Andrei Arshavin, here's a brief bio:

Quote:
"If I had it in my power to introduce a ban on women driving cars and to withdraw all their licences, I would do it without thinking twice."

He continued: "In my opinion a woman and a man are two absolutely different creatures."

Arshavin drives a Mercedes GL class that is "big and comfortable."

If girls are interested, he also reeled off a list of pre-requisite requirements that he looks for in the opposite sex: "I like tall, slim girls with narrow thighs and tiny bums.

"If a girl is like this I do not pay attention to her breasts. Hair colour doesn’t matter either. What is really important is her style and manners."
also he likes being a luminary on his website!

Q: What is a better way of talking to a girl: to tell her the truth or to tell her what she wants to hear …
A: It depends on what you're after

Q: Life is so difficult and incomprehensible. Why do some people achieve their goals and some people don’t. Does it depend on the number of gray matter cells in the brain or they are just losers? I think everyone has asked himself this question: what do I live for? To save the world from aliens or to save the neighbor Clara from falling icicle. I’ve been trying to answer these questions one hundred times and yet can’t find the answers ... Now you try to answer, Andrey ....
A: I think that saving the world from aliens is, of course, the right thing to do, but still, the world would be a better place if each of us could save some neighbor Clara.

Q: Here is the question for you )) What did you like more in your childhood: to play with snowballs in winter or to sail toy ships down the streams in spring?
A: Snowballs. Especially when I got somebody

Lot of new fans seem to be interested in supporting Newcastle. For your own sanity, I would advise against it
06-19-2010 , 07:04 PM
certainly a heart breaker of a club, but that fits a lot of team tbh. Arsenal, Spuds, West Ham, and now even Pool.

Great to have the Toon back in the top flight.

well the teams no one cares about is clearly wrong, the 'attractive english football' section doesn't even mean anything.but even if it did, newcastle will not belong in it after the way they played to get into the premiership. he missed out stoke in the section of boring football when they are the most boring team of all time, villa do not belong in the "boring" section, so apart from those gross errors, its pretty accurate?

woops, totally forgot about Stoke, but that means they are definitely boring

I was just taking a shot at city and pool. But based on what I saw of City w/ Mancini, they are 100% in the boring section and Pool is probably in the "good, but sort of boring section".

Newcastle MAY play more defensive this time around, but their fans want slick attacking play. They really don't seem to care if they concede three goals if they score four.

Villa are sort of a boring side IMO, in that they play the normal hoof it to our CF's and play off them style of play instead of passing on the floor and making some nice build up play. Spurs are far more interesting to watch because they play a similar style but with way more pace and they have some real playmakers.

the newcastle of old were defo exciting, but their setup for the premiership will be so different this time sadly

villa have a lot of english people in their team so i'll insta say they are exciting, but i defo think if its between boring/exciting, i'd go with the latter, you dont lose 7-0 to chelsea if you are a boring sit back and hoof team, lol

most of their goals have come from 4 people in the team, so that would prob support your point rather than mine, but players like young/agbohnler have scored some cracking goals this season vs Carews typical toepokes/headers, so I dont think they are as boring as you think, but prob not as 'exciting' as i would either.

Ehhhh... Historically, in the premier league, that's what Newcastle are known for, though that's probably not gonna be true now, so that's an understandable assessment. He obviously forgot stoke since they're not on the list at all, and he didn't put villa in the "boring section," he put them in the "Good, but sort of boring" section, which is I suppose debatable at times... But they often do play hoof/physical English football...

And re: "This World Cup thing is pretty fun to watch, what team should I follow in the Premier League?"

most teams are guilty of hoof occasionally apart from arsenal i think

thats funny in itself because back when george graham was in charge, thats all they were known for, lol
