I’m a yank looking to get into PL football. Who should I adopt as my team? Ideally not one of the top teams, and one with good owners. Is there a well run low budget team that runs middle of the pack I can get behind? Is it Everton? Do I have to be an Everton fan?

Honestly at this point I just like seeing well played, close games, but that’s not nearly as fun as getting irrationally mad over things I have no control over in defense of my arbitrarily chosen team.

If I had to pick based on kits, Swansea has that cool light blue to dark blue fade (i want to say one of the big teams maybe Chelsea does this as well), and if I were to pick on badges, Sheffield Wednesday’s cute owl dude is an easy shoe-in.

Leicester recently won a league out of nowhere and basically has no chance of doing that ever again, but probably won't be poo poo enough to get relegated

People seem to hate them for some reason and their choke job against Juventus was real sad. Kane and Son are an exciting front line, though.

If you're picking a team based on not being hated AND never choking, you've ruled out literally every team. Just throw a dart at the league table and then pick Man City like every other American these days.

Just keep watching until you become interested in a team and what’s going on with them. No need to just pick a team from the get go.

Support a team that gets promoted and relegated frequently. Like Newcastle United.

Before picking a team, ask yourself, what's your tolerance for exposure to paedophilia and paedophilia-coverup related banter?

How much do you secretly enjoy being depressed and complaining?

If someone you really loved turned out to be racist, could you live with it as long as they were good at their job?

This will help you narrow it down.

West Ham sounds funny with an American accent, so support them.

Alternatively just watch loads of games until you hate one team less than the others.
