I'm a new fan. Grew up playing soccer here in the USA but have never really followed it. Something about this year's WC - probably having the games at a decent hour - drew me in. I have friends who follow EPL, so I went through a short process to pick a team, and Spurs were the choice. Seemed a good fit - established club, exciting young players, not a huge bandwagon factor, and having a large Jewish portion of my family, Yid Army was a natural.
And no, I won't make future posts this long/rambling:-)
