The Bundesliga is by far the most fun top end league in Europe. Supporters are far more animated than the generally nervous, tense, and cagey English haha.

Tottenham is most similar to the Knicks imo. Don't pick Liverpool as they are owned by John Henry, the owner of the Red Sox, who I assume you despise as a Yankees fan.

In conclusion: pick Borussia Dortmund ;)

I really want to suggest Newcastle or Aston Villa, but those clubs underperform to such a sustained and embarrassing extent that I'll save the OP the pain. If you want to support an immensely successful club without sounding like a gloryhunting douchebag you could always support:

Ajax
PSV Eindhoven
Celtic
Galatasaray
Rangers (In a bit of a downswing now though, but I prefer to Celtic)
Anderlecht
Red Bull Salzburg
River Plate
Club America
Boca Juniors
Sao Paulo

So what I've gathered from this thread so far is that instead of narrowing OP's choice down from one of those four EPL teams, we've now expanded it to the entire footballing planet? :lol:

You know what, don't even bother with football. You should watch cricket. Just don't be one of those India bandwagoners. And their domestic league is so corrupt too. Sri Lanka have Malinga the slinger but win too much for my liking so screw them. And those Australians and English? Way too arrogant, who cares about some tiny trophy with ashes in it anyway?

Just pick Tottenham. You won't regret it.
you will

I think you don't have to pick out a team to root analytically.

You have to watch games and more games, and wait until you fall in love with some player, some coach or just something from a team. It's your heart which has to decide not the brain.

Of course you want to win it as soon as you are in the semi final. Before? I doubt Chelsea cared all that much.

Personally, I just love the irony of massy talking up the EL after having talked about how it doesn't matter because serie A teams don't care about it before 2013 happened.
