The English Premier League!!

Just curious...
Why is it still called "English" Preimier League when teams like Swansea can play in it?

Tradition and history. The Welsh clubs only compete in the English pyramid because those Welsh clubs were formed before there was any sort of Welsh league, so they played against the English. We graciously allowed them to come and join in and be defeated by us, but it's still OUR league

Wow. Wow, wow... wow. What an opening. 16 goals in 6 games, and a few crazy results.

As an Arsenal fan, I'm looking forward to another typical season. Dominate all game, and fail to actually win it.

When I say defeated by us, I of course didn't mention that we'd throw one of our utterly useless teams, like QPR, in front of them from time to time, just to keep their spirits up and all that

Opening day of new season results

Newcastle 2 - 1 Tottenham
Arsenal 0 - 0 Sunderland
Fulham 5 - 0 Norwich
QPR 0 - 5 Swansea
Reading 1 - 1 Stoke
West Brom 3 - 0 Liverpool
West Ham 1 - 0 Aston Villa

im absolutly suprised with the TWO 5-0 wins , when do we ever see one 5-0 win let alone two in one day , a great sign for the season ahead.

already worrying results if your an ARSEnal or liverpoo fan, from the looks of things it will be another race between United and Shitty for the title though Chelski can stir things up if they get good start to the season.

Arsenal missing Van Persie already..

I'll take a draw for our first day back, as we certainly aren't a team built to compete with Stoke, but if we play like that on Wednesday against Chelsea there could be a hammering! Still, point on the board!

No comments on the RVP move?

I'm sure the RVP comments will follow tomorrow when he helps to demolish Everton - I actually think the Rooney/RVP strike force could potentially be better than any other one I have ever seen if they can click properly (which is scary if, like me, you're not a Man Utd fan...)
