FakePoet posted:I'm in the same situation, and have narrowed it down to Tottenham or West Bromwich. If my current emotional sports investment is nearly universally American collegiate (Arkansas), and primarily exists to cause me pain in numerous different ways, who makes more sense? The whole "can't top Arsenal" thing appeals to me for the Spurs, but I'm not sure that's enough suffering. There is gently caress all reason for an American in Arkansas to support a single PL side. They are owned by anyone and everyone and their players are from everywhere. Just watch a league you enjoy. They dont want anything from you except to sell their merch.

I wanted a team to root for after the last world cup and chose Everton because of Howard. It makes as much sense as any other random reason.

Ibrahimovic is one of the best strikers I've ever seen and he doesn't give a poo poo about anything other than winning. He will drag any poo poo team to a title and he'll ask you what the gently caress you thought was going to happen afterwards. He is the fantastic and that's why I hate him and love him at the same time. CAZZO GUARDI??!

Wikipedia posted:Ibrahimović has been involved in several violent incidents with teammates, some of which have gone viral on the internet. In 2011, Ibrahimović kicked teammate Antonio Cassano in the face while Cassano was speaking to reporters.[117] Ibrahimović has also kicked teammates Christian Wilhelmsson and Rodney Strasser during training, both caught on camera.[118][119]
