My Two Cents

I must begin by saying that as Latin American I try to ignore the British league as much as possible. But I understand your reasons for choosing a Premiership team so her goes my two cents.

I agree that rooting for Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea would be like a Mexican moving to the States and rooting for the Yankees and the Patriots. Wait a minute...I just described my father. Anyways...

The three teams I would suggest are Newcastle, Tottenham, or Reading.

My first choice is Reading. They are a small club that does a lot with very little and their coach is awesome. He won't last long there I can promise that. He's just too good and a club with more "history" will probably take him away. They also have an awesome Irish player named Kevin Doyle. I like that kid, he plays with heart, umph, and pizazz! Not to mention the fact that they have an old Ecuadorian star named Ulises de la Cruz at defense. This guy helped his country make it to their first World Cup ever, you can always root for someone like that. Add a controversial African forward, Lita, and you got yourself a team homeslice!

But their uniform is kinda blah: blue and white horizontal stripes.

Now the risk with Reading is that this might be just a fluke and you could easily find them relegatted in like five years if their good players are bought by big clubs and their coach is lured away. So in the words of Jesus' immortal friend from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "choose wisely, for while the true Grail (club) will bring you life, the false Grail (club) will take it from you."

I have to get back to work now but I will post my Newcastle and Tottenham thoughts latter.

Latin American futbol is better
