Obviously money is very helpful in winning you titles which is the only downside to the epl. My solution is support one of the BIG 4 and then choose a smaller team like me (chelsea and wolves) and in the words of miley cyrus "you get the best of both worlds". Relegation battles and title deciding matches :)

Hence why I support Arsenal and Shrewsbury.  :D

SHREWSBURY :o

That's pretty out of the blue!! I am playing a manager mode in FIFA 11 with Oxford so i guess that counts.

Both clubs I now support oddly are connected to the FIFA games.

When I bought FIFA 2001, I jumped straight into the game as Arsenal (as they were the first club listed). Just kinda stuck with them ever since.

As for Shrewsbury, that came about in FIFA 2008. I was after a hefty challenge and so I decided to take the worst English team to the Premier League in Manager Mode. That worst team was Shrewsbury. Again, stuck with them ever since.

When I went overseas to the UK last year, I actually went to Shrewsbury, visited the club and amazingly was taken on a tour by a senior coach! True story! In fact, here's a picture of me at the stadium.



I did also visit Arsenal's home ground, Emirates Stadium but unfortunately the day I went they weren't running tours. :(

Or they'll turn out like Man City.... Good but not good enough :P.

CrowsFan

Yeah but they don't have to fight it out against Chelsea, United and Arsenal for the league so they should be fine ;)
They have been buying younger players so they can grow as a team instead of just trying to buy the best, which I like :)

I like how they've also been buying some French players rather than everybody overseas as well. Kinda like what Dalgeish is doing with Liverpool now.
