First EPL match I ever watched was Everton v.s. Stoke - last november was it?
If I remember correct, Moyes got sent off or warned by the ref or something. And in the end, they add something like 4 minutes of stoppage time or something ridiculous, and they cut to a shot of Moyes' face and IT WAS PRICELESS.
He was so pissed.
Anyways - I took a lot time choosing my EPL club. BIG four were automatically not choices. I didn't want join a team like Man U's bandwagon. I wanted a team that was strong, and had prospects, but were not constantly favored. I wanted something to root for.
Eventually decided on Everton because I liked their style of play - and I liked the story of a big team being brought back to life by a good manager. I recognized them as a team with a lot of potential for success in the future.
And it's been great so far. Every online Everton community I've been privy to has shown tons of heart. The longer I support Everton, the more I find to like about the club, players, and supporters.
