Take note that this has been said for the past 10 million seasons, and then go look at the standings for those years.
FYP. ;)

I'll tell you why I chose to support Man City when I started following the premiership in 2001. One, they were just promoted, which was a great story, they were in league one after founding the league and got back up. Two All everyone here talks about is United, so I figured I'd check out the "other" Manchester team. After learning about their proud history and great fans, I decided to support them, and have ever since. Three, Theres not a lot of City fans in the US, so you wouldn't be"bandwagon jumping"Its nice to like a team that not everyone else does! Four: We have a fairly good team that shows great promise, 9th last year, and we are presently playing in the eufa cup And F 5. You get 2 amazing derbies every year, Man City-United games are AWESOME(we beat them twice last year!)
Six, Finally Blue Moon is an awesome theme song! Hey, whoever you chose, the premiership is awesome, and its even more fun when you follow the ups and down of your team. Good luck!
Go CITY!

How can you say we are all about the money??? Wenger buys very few players each year and they are all pretty cheap. Chelsea and Man united buy players left and right. For example Chelsea bought Shawn Wright Phillips, a great player for 20 million dolars give or take, and he doesnt even make the bench half of the time. Why did they buy him? So arsenal couldn't have him. Man U is the same case, they bought Nani and Anderson the amazing Brazilian Duo and although Nani trowards the end of the season got some playing time Anderson barely saw wat the pitch even looked like other than from his TV. So before you go saying arsenal is all about the money, you might wanna gert ur crap in line.
Since when has Nani been Brazilain? He plays for Portugal. And I seriosuly doubt thats why MANU and Chelsea but some of the players. Yeah, thats a plus, but they buy them because as you said they are great talents.

I support Liverpool FC. I tend to go with clubs with a lot of history in them (LFC in England, Real Madrid in La Liga, Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1). I started following them in 1994 while in college. Even though we haven't won the Prem. for a while, I've never thought about supporting another EPL club. I'll always back LFC.
It's kind of weird because all my friends back Man U, except for 1 Arsenal fan and 1 Tottenham fan. But you should watch as many clubs play as possible, and then make your decision. Good luck! :)

Ok so if you are looking for history then there is only really one option, Liverpool.

And if you're into bandwagoning, that's a fine, fine reason to select ManU...

Shouldn't you pick the team you like the most to support whether they be "the best" or not? They should be your team. Whether that be Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, Portsmouth, or anyone. The "best team" is a lot of different things to different people. I personally think Liverpool is the best team. :) You back Man U. It's all personal choice.

Thanks, I have a few in mind. The one thing I really look for is to see how many players I like on the team off the bat. But the one thing that sucks is that I know they might get transferred soon, and that makes me hesitant.

i think that man utd is the best even though i watch all the arsenal's games because of the mexican player vela.
i dont only like man utd because they are winners but because of the talen they got,their coach,and they have the best fans

I'm in exactly the same boat. I have a few in mind, and hopefully I'll be able to catch em on TV sooner rather than later.
Strongly considering shelling out the $$ for Setanta...

That's one way of looking at it, but as you pointed out players come and go. I suggest that you really dive into the history and tradition of your possible team. Learn about them. It doesn't have to be a winning history (Chelsea's certainly isn't :D) but learning about where the club came from and where it's been could help you out in the long run.

LOL. I promise I'm not trying to be some Chelsea Conquistador lol.
All I'm saying is whatever club you're near choosing, learn the history, get stuck in, find other people who support the same club, GET INVOLVED! It's much more fun that way.
Pick Chelsea.
