Avoid the so called top four Everyone goes for them and they are so predictable. Win, win, win. Look further down the table for a nice little boost to the blood pressure every Sunday morning.

To avoid any confusion given the current league table (which will soon change probably anyway):
Tottenham are NOT a "top four" team.� The "topfour" are:
�
Man U -� if you were born or started watching footy after 1988, you are not permitted to support them, unless you were born IN Manchester or your mum/dad supports them
Arsenal - if you were born or started watching footy after 1996, you are not permitted to support them, unless you were born IN north london or your mum/dad supports them
Chelsea - if you were born or started watching footy after 2000, you are not permitted to support them, unless you were born IN west london or your mum/dad supports them
Perennial strugglers Liverpool - You might be able to get away with supporting them actually.....

bascially, don't support the teams that win all the time. It makes the rest of us angry.
Lets say you started supporting Man Utd in 1988, you would have been supporting a team that hadn't won the league in 21 years with 2 FA Cup wins in the past 10 years and were in the 2nd div in the mid 70's. Glory chasing! (Heck Liverpool have probably been more successful in the past 21 years than Man Utd had been in the the previous 21 years leading up to 1988)
Not sure what the 2000 reference is to Chelsea, takeover was in 2003 and prior to that hadn't won the league in almost 50 years and a few cup wins.
And with Liverpool, if you started watching football in the 70's you shouldn't be allowed to support them either.
By this logic if you were born or started watching footy after 1888 you shouldn't support preston, or if you were born or started watching footy after 1893 you shouldn't support aston villa.
To be fair, if you have a professional team in your home town you should support them first and show mild forms of interest to teams from distant lands.
