Any one watch EPL soccer? Got a favorite team (I'll keep mine a secret at the risk of offending certain Arsenal fans *cough* Wes *cough*)?

I wouldn't root for City or Man U if my life depended on it.

I love soccer, due to FIFA on Xbox. Still don't have a team yet, told myself I'd pick one this year.

Everton is my favorite but also like Tottenham (Dempsey) Stoke (Cameron) and ManU. Only team I dislike is Liverpool although I'm sitting here watching Being Liverpool as we speak.

I love the EPL, but I don't really have a favorite team. I pretty much just hope for entertaining games.
Out of curiosity, how do you guys decide on one English team over another as your favorite team? (Arsenal seems popular on this board)

Outplayed ManCity today at ManCity. Should have beaten the champs but settled for a 1-1 draw.

I've had Fox Soccer the past 3 years and watch 4-5 games each week. Over the past years I've usually gone with teams with Americans (Yanks) but I also really like Wayne Rooney so Everton, Tottenham, Stoke City and Man U have kind of surfaced. Everton's keeper is a yank and Landon Donovan plays there on loan occasionally. Everton is one of the lower funded teams that is always competitive. The People's Team."

Is there anyway we can get the name of this thread changed to something like "Official GoVols247 Premier League Thread"? Could you pull a few strings, Wes?

You can do it. Hit the "edit" in the bottom right of your post and change the title.

The Waterboy's mama would say Wayne Rooney is the debil. (sic)
