Yup, adopted them as my EPL team since Lando and Timmy were there. Could’ve been worse, almost picked Fulham when Clint was there.
It gets worse than Fulham...I've been a Reading supporter since the Bobby Convey/Marcus Hahnemann days.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I find this fascinating about EPL fandom. My teams have been my teams since childhood. They are all based on geography and family history (ie, they are the teams my dad rooted for.) Nothing parallel to that exists for me in the EPL. Sure, I like storylines and like to watch the games. But once Tim Howard left Everton, I didn't have much interest in continuing to follow them. If my basis for being interested in them was a player, and that player is gone, why would I continue to be interested?BTW, this isn't criticism. People can root for who they want for whatever reasons. It just is difficult for me to do something similar.
I think pride of fandom for me. It’s rare when you actually “adopt” a team, and learn a lot about them, their history, how they play. I grew to love players outside of Howard and Lando like Leighton Baines, Tim Cahill, Phil Jagielka...as an adult, it was a fun experience and say, hey, this is my new squad, good times and bad.

I’m usually happy to hate on anything Madison related, but Forward Madison’s marketing and social media people are fantastic and have been since their inception
wow, teams threatening to leave the EPL, power being concentrated in the hands of the "big six" clubs, teams further down the pyramid in serious trouble financially with EPL teams not wanting to help them out, reduction of teams from 20 to 18 (the relegation race would be fierce!). The EPL and the big six are becoming like the NCAA and the Power 5. https://www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/story/4207376/top-clubs-threatened-premier-league-exit-during-project-big-picture-talks-fa-chief
