    Hey guys. I like really enjoy futbol and I know the big names and all that but I've never been able to support a European team for interclub play and stuff. I would like to change that this year. My dad's best friend is from Kensington and wants me to be a Chelsea fan. However, I feel like I'd be another douchey American bandwagon if I did that. So, I was thinking of going for Fulham because Dempsey is a god damn boss.

    Any suggestions?

    Also would like to refrain from having to root for Balotelli or Ronaldo.

    choosing fulham for dempsey would be kind of a bad idea, because he's on his way out

    best advice that anyone on here can give is to watch as many games as possible, and pick based off that. it is definitely a good idea to pick a team that's going to at least have a few televised games a season, though.

    I was probably going to stream a lot of games on atdhe.net or other sites and maybe just pick a team based on that. Who knows. I feel like I owe to this guy to be a Chelsea fan, he got me into the sport.

    Well let's see...

    I'm mixed Irish, Scottish and Puerto Rican. My Dad side is the Irish mix, his grandmother came over through Ellis Island. My dad was born in Hell's Kitchen. My grandmother on my mom's side came here from Puerto Rican at age 18. There aren't many futbol fans in my family except my cousin who studied abroad in London and became a Spurs fan. Like I said, my dad's best friend is from London and was born and raised a Chelsea fan, diehard.

    As for personality, I can pretty much watch any sport but baseball. Have been a fan of international play for years but would like to pick a club to root for instead of just countries (America comes first of course). I like video games although I haven't played FIFA 12 yet. Oh, and I read and I'm a bit of a sarcastic prick sometimes.

    Did I miss anything?

    And you dont want to be a bandwagoner, then QPR.

    Plus, the board needs a QPR fan.

    In terms of EPL teams, we don't have fans of:

    Reading, Southampton, Norwich, Swansea, QPR, Aston Villa, WBA, Wigan

    Am I missing anyone?

    Edit: I had to edit in WBA and Wigan cause I forgot they exist :loldog:

    Don't be a chelsea fan irush. The people who have followed them for 10+ years are trying to avoid being seen as bandwagon fans. Man City would be a much better bandwagon for you.
