If you dont want to be a fan of the Big 4 (Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, or Liverpool) there are so good teams out there that still get shown weekly.

for example, Fulham has three Americans on the team and I know a few people who support them just because of that.

Also, Bill Simmons(the Sports Guy from ESPN) did the same last year and did a whole article on it and its a great read and should help you out a lot.

Here's the first page to it:
