Starting my EPL journey - who to follow

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Surely you would love to go for the biggest most supported club in its country?

Cardiff fits your needs perfectly! And we'll be back soon enough

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Bad joke aside, someone doesn't know what EPL is, if they're saying Leeds. Derp.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Go for West Ham

 

[Ashton Agar]

Go for West Ham

Not a bad call. They are really going places.

 

[Gibbsy]

Not a bad call. They are really going places.

Yeah, the Olympic stadium!

 

[Bardo State]

Palace, Soton, Hammers aren't bad places to start. I went in to watching the PL with the intention of supporting Newcastle, didn't wanna bandwagon, liked them as a kid. But ended up supporting Chelsea after watching a few games.

 

[Bardo State]

Don't rule out Stoke either. Safe mid sized PL club. Probably safer long term than Palace.

 

[Heardy_101]

If Portsmouth ever got back into the higher leagues I'd follow them in a heartbeat.

 

[Benno_900]

Any team but Stoke.

 

[Shoei]

The problem with following a safe mid-table club is that most seasons you don't have much to look forward to.

Most seasons you're often too good to be in a relegation fight but not good enough to really be pushing for a European place/Cup.

Get knocked out of the cups early and its a pretty boring season of beating those below you and losing to those above.

I have faith mate. I've done my research and from what I gather, they have a very good manager, a strong backbone a very good new signing. I think we'll push for UEL this year. Get up Eagles!

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Welcome to the club wadistance, you've definitely made a good choice

Best moments in recent years:
2-0 in the playoff semi at Brighton


Playoff final (long video)


Palace 3-3 Liverpool (s**t quality only one I could find with English commentary)


Palace 2-1 Man City

 

[Milang_Panthers]

As for the fans well...

 

[Greendogg5]

This year and last year Southampton have really caught my eye and they are the team in the premier league that I hope has the most success.

 

[Flameboy]

Can't choose a club. Let your club choose you.

I endorse this.

 

[glenferry23]

I endorse this.

Think about the sort of football/soccer you want to watch on a weekly basis. Combine that with players you get drawn to liking and it will sort itself out. Pardew is a flog but the Eagles are looking good! Also there is some talk in the pipeline of some US investment and upgraded facilities so you could be jumping on at a very good time. London clubs like West Ham & Palace will entrench themselves in the top flight due to the nature of how much more money goes into the capital and how much more attractive it is to investors/sponsors. Same could be said for Charlton, QPR & Fulham if they get the football operations side of things sorted.

What's the name of that chant? Sounds absolutely boss.

 

[Benno_900]

We love you x3
And when you play
We follow x3
'Cause we support
The Palace x3
And that's the way
We like it x3

'We Love You' seen a few other clubs use it. Think it was originally started by St.Pauli

You hear similar in the A-League sometimes.

 

[jod23]

Didnt BVB copy YNWA from us? So you should just support the mighty Reds.

Cute.

One thing to note is that Crystal Palace doesn't have any real derbies to look forward to.

I don't think they really care about their South London rivals or Brighton. Let them rot down there, they would claim. Sometimes being all on your own is a good thing (especially with a big payday coming next season). Having rivals is just a bonus when you're Premier League.

Yep. Don't mind at all, although it might have something to do with the fact that we beat Brighton to pretty much get into the PL so I'll be happy with that win for a while.
