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.

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...)

€100 on United for tonight...
That's gambling but hopefully Rooney will be fucking motivated and give his best.

Everton 1, Manchester United 0. Sorry Alex, we don't give refunds. Cheers for the £24 million.

Is it that hard to notice a clear offside at the top level? Feeling pretty robbed, but at least we played well, which is important at this stage of the season!

So that was what it looked like.
I was listening to the game on my SiriusXM satelite radio. I'm convinced; you need to be slightly insane to listen to football on the radio.
My co-worker who once lived in India thinks something is wrong with that league. He says your teams score way to much.

Football on the radio has got to be the tensest thing ever! I was in row 2 at the other end, so really couldn't tell what was happening haha.

Why is Sahin going to Liverpool? They are not winning any trophies in the near future, and they won't get top 4 any time soon. Stupid move, he would have fitted in better at Arsenal and at least got to play in the CL.

I almost forgot, a few weeks ago when Chelsea was across the pond in Yankee Stadium I did manage to snap a few pictures. I threw a linear blur on this one. Makes the players really pop. They were playing Paris Saint Germain at the time.
Can you spot where they put the sod over the normally dirt baseball infield?
