I would echo other sentiments in this thread and say go attend local non-league matches, by far the best way to experience the beautiful game.
If you gotta pick a PL side though I gotta advocate for Arsenal, been a diehard supporter for almost 20 years even though I’m from Canada. I like other commentators shout for Crystal Palace as well if you wanna follow a not as popular club, always had a soft spot for them.
Premier League football is of an amazing skill level and is wildly entertaining but imo requires a level of cognitive dissonance to enjoy, as do most treats I guess.
I want to know how many fortified wines deep you have to be to decide that Dresden should go to the Chinese communists but Munich goes to the nationalists.
They should have just decided that Germany is the one PvP zone in the entire world. Sharpening of contradictions leads to civil war in your country ? No need to totally wreck the place, both sides just send their troops over to Germany where they can fight it out. Instead of the current civil war in Sudan displacing millions and destroying infrastructure, each side could have just sent their best fighters over to Germany to settle things. Something to think about.
