Peter Crouch says this year you should cheer for his team, Stoke City.

After Euro 2012 this summer, you may want to get into a bit of soccer. Maybe you're looking for a team to support — I know I still am. Here is a breakdown of every English Premier League team this season, and maybe a couple reasons why you should pick them as your club.

Southampton: Southampton can be found on the south side of England. Southsiders enjoy nice weather and beaches. So if you like lying on the beach and wearing Hollister, this team is for you. They have recently been promoted from the league below, and will be real underdogs this season.

Reading: Pronounced 'red-ing' (so if you're a reader this doesn't really count), this is a team with beautiful blue and white horizontal jerseys. Good thing they look good because they will probably go out without a fight this year, as they only have one point through four games.

West Ham: Newly promoted, the Hammers are a pretty good team with a great tradition of producing fantastic players through their academy system. However, they have been very shaky over the years and unable to keep talented players, or make them work (e.g. Demba Ba).

Queens Park Rangers: If you like bandwagons, but don't like riding bandwagons, then QPR is the team for you. Another team bought out by rich oil giants from the Middle East, the Rangers have enough money to buy bad players, just to make their good players look not as bad. Could be a good season for them this time around.

Aston Villa: Another team with a long history, Aston Villa is also very poor. Just barely avoiding relegation last year, Villa is looking even worse this season. After losing twice to promoted teams in their first five games, it seems like Villa won't have enough to be better than above 17th.

Wigan Athletic: Wigan are hilarious. They play on a rugby pitch that is routinely terrible, they are always a laughingstock for poor performances, yet they manage to avoid relegation and put together decent seasons. The Lactics are truly a troll's choice.

Stoke City: If you like to play the game with a rough and tumble style, Stoke is who you should cheer for. At a time when continental flair and attacking formations dominate soccer, the Potters sit and play good ol' English football, managing to score only 36 goals in 38 games (the least of all clubs), get 45 points and get to call everyone else soft. And not to mention, they also have the monster known as Peter Crouch.

Sunderland: Also a real toughguy choice, they're a bunch of northerners knocking the ball around. New manager Martin O'Neill is a fantastic manager for this club who hasn't been relegated in a long time.

Norwich: The Canaries are a real hipster pick. Beautiful yellow and green kits, they're a fun team to watch, and also include Canadian international Simeon Jackson. Norwich came into last season with back-to-back promotions and are real underdogs. Plus, the team finished 12th last year, putting them in a great position for this season.

Part two of this series will be released next week!
