    Love the game! Mostly an international fan but my son loves Everton, so I guess that is one I know the best. Prefer Bundesliga ... when Bayern becomes more human again.

    There not doing bad at all at the minute Everton! I love the premier league I spent the whole of Valentine's watching super Sunday!

    Everton are the most underachieving team in the Premier League... Or is it the ladies team you are on about?

    I'm not really a football fan but between the husband and two boys we always seem to have football on in the house!!

    Hubby is a life long Manchester City fan, he lived in Manchester up until he met me and moved to Leeds. And even though we live in Leeds our two boys are following in his footsteps and both City fans.

    I've been to a handful of games and do prefer watching it live in the stadium rather than on the TV. I've also done the Stadium tour twice. Once around 6 years ago and once in January just gone for my youngest sons birthday and the changes in the stadium are incredible!

    Well done Leicester! Grinding out results like that is an important quality in a title contending side!

    This. Our defence isn't the best at the moment and Sturridge is only half fit.

    Man U, and Napoli. As well as Larchmont United and Lamberts Point United, ok a little bias since they are my teams that I coach. ;-)

    I love footy! I've only been a fan of the sport for around a year and a half, but it pretty much fills my weekend mornings now :joy: (it's on early in America). I mostly watch EPL, and I pay attention to a few teams right now.... Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Man U, oh and also LA Galaxy.

    American fans need to branch out from liking mostly Man U and Real Madrid :unamused:

    Those 2 clubs have a rich history and attract the best players in the world. Plenty of other clubs now have money to spend but they can't buy the prestige that Real Madrid or Man Utd has to offer. And they never will.

    Besides, ain't nobody got time to watch Aston Villa on a Sat. morning no less (LOL).

    The quality of the EPL has been shoddy lately. Can't see an EPL team winning the Champions League any time soon.

    Do you have BeIN Sports? You should watch La Liga... good quality from top to bottom.

    You're getting a bit carried away now...

    I have an obvious vested interest being a Man City fan, but it is surely reasonable given the available choice and quality out there, to expect American fans to delve a little deeper and cast their net wider than Man U and Real Madrid!?!?!.....trying not to be biased Bayern Munich? Barcelona? Juventus?....can't quite bring myself to name another EPL team!!! :lol:

    It wasn't that long ago Liverpool was spoken of in the same reverential tones.

    Whilst I wouldn't go as far as saying the EPL is any better than the others, I wouldn't say it was worse either. I think its a bit silly that the top European leagues attempt to claim that somehow their league is better than the others. They're all watchable in their own way...

    Anyone who supports Aston Villa at the moment should be given a medal. A true footie fan right there rather than some superficial glory hunter! :wink:

    I think hubby is a Man U fan and we are from the States. We have a home team (DC United) and they've done fairly well. Some day we will see a game in the UK. Are tickets hard to get?

    Another rubbish week in the EPL. No one wants to claim it.
