    Would some knowlegable soccer fans help me pick a team to root for. Petey had shown me some earlier, and I think Manchester United is at the top right now. What do you other guys think?

    ha you can be a Manchester United fan if you would like... they are probably the most popular team in the Premier League, dont root for Chelsae everyone will hate you because they pretty much buy everyone and you'll be called a frontrunner, tho Man U is at the top now so u'd probably be a frontrunner anyway.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Liverpool and Arsenal are very popular too they've always been good, i like to root for Tottenham Hotspur they are up and coming in the league. Though I love Steven Gerrard who is on Liverpool, i think hes aewsome.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>i'm a huge fan of soccer as a sport i just never have the time to watch it though i'm kinda knowledgeable about soccer in Europe</DIV>

    What style do Tottenham Hotspur play? I think it would be cool to cheer for an up and coming team.

    Hotspur are cool but have a Knicks like appeal since they havent won a title since the 60's.</p>

    West Ham United is renowed for average football (but the best hooligans), Arsenal are a safe choice but play in a manner as easy to watch as Tim Duncan pulling the same move 28 times a game, Newcastle's squad are a offensive marvel (but defend as a bball team with 5 earl boykins') and Chelsea is the evil empire funded by Mafia money, not a popular choice.</p>

    Me Im a villa fan which is much like supporting Golden State... 'Midtable ere we come!'</p>

    ManU plays an offensive style. While other teams score, then play defensive. ManU came in first by a few points, but they had a huge difference in point differential compared to Chelsea (who were in 2nd).</p>

    They just don't give up.</p>

    I'm a big fan of Bertatov (he is on the Spurs).</p>

    Do you have Fox Soccer? Tons of EPL games on this weekend, season on. Manu plays on sunday, they are showing the game. </p>
