Not where I live, I only know pool, Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal fans. And I live in an area where football is basically as popular as the other american sports. (in terms of the youth, teens) And there are glory hunters but none have choosen Tottenham? Why? Because it's not the target of glory hunters.. Show me some and I'll believe, but compared to the ' big 4' we don't have much or any..

compared to the 'big four'? totally agree.

but compared to the dark ages (gross/graham/hoddle/pleat), they've been coming out of the woodwork.

False!

I have yet to see these supporters who choose spurs over the previous top 4. We deserve the rep because in truth we play much bettre football than all of the clubs in the prem.

:eek: Not sure about that...

You score but your defense is shite. Only had like a +2 or 3 GD. Fun to watch though...

Okay I was thinking and this is what I want in a club:
1.A good vacation spot, preferabley London
2.I want a good team that plays a fast game, but doesn't get many bandwagoners
3.Nice fans and players.
4. A team that has many rivals, I love hating another team.
Tottenham seems like a good fit but I just want to see what everyone thinks would be the best club for me. But it doesn't have to have all of these things.

Thanks

Fulham has most if not all of those qualities. They're also on FSC a fair bit. I've been a fan for 8 years and through the ups and downs haven't regretted my choice.

i would choose Fulham or Tottenham, because they seem to work well with the 4 objectives or there is always Crystal palace?;)

fulham? on fsc? i have watched a long time and i have only seen one fulham game... now i dont watch all the games that come on so i might have just missed them all, but that would be quite a feat.

Due to the unfortunate condition of having a social life, I'm not religious about catching their games, but I'd guess I saw 5 or 6 matches last season.

I find FSC has a pretty even mix of games as far as team coverage goes.

so you see, it's a fairly even balance of all prem clubs v man u/chelsea. ;)

...omg do i really have to explain this? here's how i break it down:
99% of the games contain Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Spurs
over 50% probably contain 2 of them going head to head...
which means that maybe half of the games will contain 1 of the.. 15? other teams... so that means that a team may appear once in every 30ish games... thats how i see it... now if you think that makes all those teams 'balanced' wrong... now i may be exagerating a little, but most fsc viewers will confirm that is very close to those odds...

no, you don't.

everyone knows that fsc shows the big clubs disproportionately. but frankly, it's nowhere near as disproportionate toward those clubs as is the distribution of american fans. and in a market driven medium, they do a pretty decent job of giving smaller clubs a look.

ya i just joined this site but i have pulled for chelsea for years. my parents are the celtic fans so naturally i pull for them unless they go against chelsea. LA is my only new team and yes it's because of beckham, i admit it, don't try and call me a glory hunter or whatever else you can think of. haha :p
