@BEK97 @Phreba Tottenham are the Jets of the EPL. I avoided them when I picked a team precisely bc I already have one Jets in my life.

@chopaganda @BEK97 in some way true, but is anyone really the Jets….I mean they would’ve been relegated by now. Tottenham is typically a top 6 team over the last several years. But, yeah, I’m a Mets fan and picking Tottenham instead of Arsenal(Yankees) or Chelsea as a London team, was bit risky. My son is a huge Chelsea fan, that’s also a good club to follow now that their oligarch is gone.

@Phreba @chopaganda I didn't see your latest reply before my last one. The Yankees comp gives me pause.

@BEK97 @Phreba Yankees comp for Arsenal is dumb.

That would be Man United, Chelsea, and now Man City. While Arsenal has spent more in recent years, they have always been about building teams, not buying them.

@chopaganda @BEK97 @Phreba I second this. My view isn’t entirely objective as I’m a big Arsenal fan, but I’ve never viewed them as the Premier League’s Yankees.

(They’re way more fun to root for than the Yankees, I’d imagine)

@Nolasox @chopaganda @BEK97 they’re second to Man U in titles, only one behind. And have won more FA cups than any team, oh and they hail from the biggest city where they’re the big brother of teams.

@Nolasox @chopaganda @BEK97 @Phreba yeah I think Chelsea under Abramovich is more comparable to Yankees under Steinbrenner. Including the manager firings.😉. And rehirings.
