I don't think you understand what I'm getting at which is fair enough because I've not gone into depth.

It's not about having a huge number of idiots or people who are hosed in the head because one look at Twitter or whatever will show you the obvious.

I'm talking about the people who consider Liverpool a club apart because of their history and values. The romance of the club is a huge reason they've continued to draw in fans despite not competing in the Champions League or for the title for a while.

All the YNWA stuff, the banners it is something that's a bit unique about Liverpool and that's something to be admired but it also draws in a specific type of fan that I personally can't stand.

It's all down to personal preference, is that okay?

Below are the teams that Arsenal have yet to mathematically eliminate and are the only remaining challengers to Champions League Qualification
Team Matches Played Magic # % of remaining points needed to guarantee finishing ahead
Everton 31 18 95%
Tottenham 32 11 58%
Manchester United 32 9 47%
Southampton 32 3 16%
Newcastle 32 1 5%
Notes
Magic number and methodology are explained below
We've almost eliminated Newcastle. If they win out and we lose out, we will finish tied with them. (Not happening)
All we need to do is win one more game, or Southampton to lose one game to guarantee finishing ahead of them
Any combination of 3 with Arsenal wins or Manchester United losses will insure finishing ahead of United
The Tottenham magic number is 11. This means that St. Totteringham's day can be as early as in 2 matchdays. (A potential of 6 Magic Number points lost per matchday x2 matchdays will eliminate Sp*rs) Although they play Sunderland and West Brom next.
Everton are by far our biggest foes. This makes next weeks match one of the most important of the season. A win against them would drop their magic number from 18 to 12 and probably insure Champions League Qualification.
Magic Number Explained
Magic Number = Future Arsenal Points + Future Opponent Points Conceded that will ensure Arsenal finishing ahead of them
When the Magic Number = 0, it is mathematically impossible for the opponent to finish ahead of Arsenal. (If you look at Tottenham, this could be used as the St. Totteringham's Day Countdown)
ELI5: When the number drops to 0 Arsenal guarantee finishing ahead of that team. The number drops when Arsenal gain points and/or the team concedes points
Methodology
At the beginning of the season, every team has a potential of winning 38 games at 3 points/game = 114.
Adding one point ensures that when the magic number =0, it will result in finishing above rather than tied. So, for Arsenal, at the beginning of the season, their magic number for every team is 115. (114+1)
The magic number can never go up. Only down.
When Arsenal win 1 game (Let's say the first game is against Tottenham), they capture 3 points, making the threshold of finishing ahead of every team drop by 3 points. So now, Arsenal's magic number is 112. BUT, Tottenahm just conceded 3 points with the loss, meaning that the magic number for Spurs dropped an additional 3 points, meaning that the magic number for finishing ahead of Sp*rs is now 109. (This is where we get the phrase a "6 point game".
Congruently, if Arsenal draw, the magic number for every team drops by 1 (1 Arsenal point gained), if an opposing team draws, the magic number for them drops by 2 (2 points conceded). Throughout the season, these numbers keep dropping until there are 0 points which means it is impossible for that team to finish ahead of Arsenal. At the end of the season, if a team still has points, it means they finished ahead of Arsenal.
Final Equation = 115 - (Arsenal Points) - (Points conceded by the opposition)

Fabregas is just another bloody Chelsea player now.

Sorry, but there it is.

Another one of the hordes of the overpaid, the parked, the stolen, the loaned, the returned-from-loan, of the great blood-money enterprise.

I personally hope Arsenal fans boo EVERY Chelsea players EVERY touch on Sunday.

But maybe they could hiss as well when Fabregas is on the ball.

It's a really bad list tbh

quote:

I don't don't know which team has the most supporters on here so I might get blasted for this but I don't care. America's Team is Manchester United. I guarantee you even the number one soccer hater in the world will know Manchester United. I don't know how to explain it but when I was young and only remember watching Euro and World Cup I would always here about even on MSM about Manchester United nothing else. There is just something about the team maybe the players, the brand, the coach,the trophies. They a reason why there followed so much. If you are watching soccer for the first time you should follow Manchester United. Now if your one of those people who don't like rooting for the "biggest" team I would say Chelsea is the next best team. On the East Coast the team with the most Jerseys is Chelsea. There always in contention and always have a lot of recognizable players. Now I see on here the team recommend is Arsenal. I respect that but I don't understand why. First when's the last time they came to see there fans in the US. Not in the last few years ( if I'm wrong I apologize). Next is the Trophies . Yes they won the FA Cup and have had memorable BPL title seasons but when the last time they were in contention for something outside of England. I agree if you want to root for a team that you could say is an underdog Arsenal is your team. However not for someone new to EPL. Comments are welcome but like I said if you just wanting to yell at me Don't try. Thanks for reading

TL;DR: Manchester United is best choice ( America's Team,Brand)
2nd Chelsea (Many supporters,Good Team with many popular players)
Arsenal is good for the underdog team but not the best
