EPL Relegation Predictions - 2023

Finally some levity from you - poorly conceived and executed, but credit should be given for trying. Time to be done with this thread - a “dude” who quotes Mean Girls and Princess Bride can’t be reasoned with - I’m out!
When did I quote mean girls? And yeah princess bride, a pretty well known cult film.
Well I mean, you were completely wrong in assuming I can see your signature. So yes, it is your problem.
Is there anything you won't try to make an argument out of? You must have a lot of time on your hands during that long flight to London for the trophy-less parade for 2nd place.
We literally won the League Cup and are in the FA Cup final this coming weekend. Do you not know ball? Typical casual fan…..
Stand corrected on the Carabao. And if you think you guys are beating man city in the FA Cup, lmaoooooo
And casual fan, okay
Glad you’re around to define how long a club has to be trophyless in order to be a fan.
I was so ticked about that. You had one job Dortmund! Also, it’s so sad that Köln couldn’t hold out for another few minutes
Speaking generally here, but supporting a European/PL soccer team as an American comes with some caveats.
There’s a few reasons you might pick a team to support:
- You have a connection, be it a trip you took or family fandom or you just like the colors
- The team has a US Player you like to root for
- They’re based in a cool place you’d love to visit
- The team is frequently on TV (the best teams are usually on TV, in league play or European tournaments)
Seeing a team on TV has never been more accessible these days. For a long time, you pretty much had to pick a team that wouldn’t be relegated. Otherwise you risked never being able to watch them through traditional means.
As a result, Americans have flocked to top half teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U, Man City, Liverpool, etc. Frankly, these teams are safe to pick. A decade ago, Spurs was a trendy team to pick because you would never be accused of a front runner, but you had the benefit of riding the wave up if they happened to get better (they did).
No one wants to be a “Glory Hunter”, but fandom really is an investment in future happiness.
I don’t knock “new” Leicester fans, especially if their title run got people hooked to watch soccer. I would be disappointed to know a LCFC supporter who dropped them with relegation and started supporting Man City or something.
Long story short, support your team through up and down. Grow the game. Have fun.
