Picking a Premier League Team  ⚐

Joe Posnanski (probably our preeminent sportswriter right now) tackles choosing a Premier League team. I imagine lots of folks are getting into the Premier League given NBC's stellar coverage (and the fact that it's on in the morning before college or pro football start). It's worth a read.

A couple of years ago, when I got into the Premier League pretty heavy (that's what having access to the Fox Soccer channel will do …), I bounced between teams who were all on the verge of being relegated (Bolton, QPR, West Ham). Relegation has chosen West Ham for me.

From JoePos:

Why you should be a fan: The team’s thrilling history, centered around those three great West Ham players who led England to glory in 1966.

Why you shouldn’t be a fan: Because they’re still talking a lot about 1966.

Yep. Sounds just like a team I would gravitate towards.
