English Premier League

I should say that I don't follow EPL much. For British football I root for the Blades. My overall club to watch though is BVB, or Borussia Dortmund, over in Germany.

Arsenal 2-1 Everton to go top of the table.

Sorry, couldn't resist  

HTFC vs SUFC League One Play-Off Final Penalty Shoot-Out

Arsenal2-1 Leicester City.

Welbeck scores in the 95th minute for the win. Awesome game!

Yeah that was a heck of an ending. Still pulling for Leicester though, love the fact they skyrocketed to the top after coming back to the PL last year.

On an unrelated note, MU lost, and probably wont make the Champions league. Wonder if they will fire Van Gaal and bring in Mourhino? Reading quite a few rumors out there on that.

[Millhouse]

Congratulations to Leicester City, BPL champs! 5000:1 odds to start the year, were bottom of the table just over a year ago, 3rd tier league like 6-7 years ago. Might be the most amazing story in all of team sports in quite some time.

[YorkshireBengal]

Do not underestimate this Leicester achievement.
I think it must be the GREATEST SPORTING STORY OF ALL TIME

It would only be bettered by St Kitts and Nevis winning the world cup....or the Browns the superbowl

[Millhouse]

And the new manager of my Manchester United is...José Mourinho! Maybe he will get a certain former player of his who also was a former United player back below.

Any discussion on Premier League transfer news? The one thing I don't get is why Paul Pogba is valued at 100 mil. I don't think after watching Euro 2016 that he is the absolute best midfielder in the world.

I think N'golo Kante to Chelsea is a big signing.

I think Ibra to Man U is ho hum. His divaness and age play against him.

There are current rumors of Riyah Mahrez to Arsenal. I think that would be an amazing signing for Arsenal. Can you imagine an attacking midfield of Alexis Sanchez on the left wing, Mahrez on the right wing and Ozil in the middle? Scary good offense if they add a striker to compliment Giroud up top.

The 2016-2017 season starts this weekend. Go MU! Cant wait to see them under Mourinho.

Curious should we start another thread for this season, or just keep using this one? Not that its popular or anything around here, but just wonderin.

Thinking this one is fine. I've always been an Arsenal fan but I don't like their recent moves. I am curious the see Chelsea under Conte and I really like the kid out of Belgium (Batshuayi).

BTW, does anyone know of an EPL Fantasy site. I think it would boost interest to have one with board members. I think we would need ay least 8.

 f they get Mustafi and can still sign a striker, they'll be in good shape.

Good first outing for Maurinho & MU. Rooney had a nice header for goal, and newcomer superstar Ibrahimovic had a very nice goal for his debut.

I can't stomach anything Man U does. I absolutely hate that team. Even more now that they got that moron Mourinho. They are like the steelers to me.

Only if Mustafi can play goal

Anyone noticed who's top of the league below the premier league? :)

Bit of context, Newcastle have spent up to £40 million on new players, Aston Villa even more
Huddersfield spent just under £4 million, with a record purchase of £1.8 mil
Oh, and we beat Newcastle....away


Sorry but this start has been a dream, i'm telling everybody

Thats cool. I always root for the underdog, so hope it keeps up. 

Crazy how far Aston Villa has fallen. Im a MU fan, but last couple of FIFA games, I picked Villa to work my way up with in career mode. And Newcastle before that, cause I liked their unis.  Now they are 17th in tier 2! They may not make it back to the BPL for awhile. Maybe I should go be their gm/coach? lol

PSG 1-1 Arsenal. The Gunners pull out a point in likely their toughest match in the group stage....away at PSG.
