Who’s your EPL pick?
Jul 20th, 2006 by Ashley
Read this on Caught Offside. He was talking about an article written by ESPN sports columnist Bill Simmons about how he chose his EPL team. In the article, he suggested not to jump on the bandwagon, to avoid a too tortured team and etc. And in the second page he revealed his top 6 choice (no ManUtd).
Chelsea being his last choice among the six is because his coworker Davies is already a Blues fan. Not to kill the fun of exchanging stupid emails, he decided not to be a Chelsea fan.
Though most British (or English?) despise this article, some are still able to pull some fun out of it. Such as:
Chelsea – Bonus Reason to Pick Them: Manager Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea – Sponser: Samsung, poor men’s Sony
Arsenel – Celebrity Fans: An astonishingly bizarre group that includes Spike Lee, Hornby … Queen Elizabeth, Prince Harry and Osama Bin Laden. Now there’s a list you want to avoid.
Man City – Sponsors: A travel company called Thomas Cook. It’s a bad sign when you have a sponsor that nobody knows, right?
Newcastle United – Bandwagon Potential: Pretty low. Unless you’re an ex-convict.
Liverpool – Vacation Destination: Only if you’ve been kidnapped.
Liverpool – Bonus reason to pick them: They have the best song: “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” which sounds eerie when they’re belting it out before games and absolutely electric after big victories.
