You can't spell EPIC FAIL without the EPL: West Bromwich Albion

Location: West Bromwich, near Birmingham in the Black Country.

Nickname: Baggies. I think this is the bird pictured on the crest.

Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: The Hawthorns.

Crest: I like it. Nice bold font. The bird isn't trying to look too tough. There's plants on it so that's nice.

Season So Far: EPIC FAIL. Last place but with almost half of the EPL also sucking, they could actually pull off an escape.

General Vibe to a Casual American Fan: Cute, cuddly. Robert Plant is from West Brom so tight jeans wrapped around man-junk should spring to mind. They seem to pop up in the Premier League every few years, hang around the bottom of the table and then go off to win another 2nd tier title. They actually try to play attractive soccer. The problem is that when you're not as good as the teams you're playing, the easiest way to win is to win ugly.
