I do have directv and have read that NBCSN (which I have) shows almost every BPL game, and ones that aren't on there can be watched for free online.
No, they show EVERY EPL game. The channels are in the 490s somewhere. No need to even watch online.
Also, they show EVERY Champions League game, even the early shite games between the Moldovan league champion and the Cyprus league champion. Those channels are the 460s, I think.
Oh, and they have BeIN Sport as well.

everton is a great team to follow if you're just getting into it.
tim howard plays there. roberto martinez is the manager and they play some attractive stuff.
Wood.
To add on, we have one of the most likable teams from top to bottom. Our players just stay quiet and go to work.

Probably because you were watching college gameday and then college football. I haven't watched Gameday since I started watching the EPL. I watch soccer and then flip to football. Makes for a hell of a day of drinking.

Yep.
UEFA is the 480s. EPL is the 490s (I think) when in season.

i was joking my man. there is a stigma around here that man city fans are glory chasers who only became fans once when the oil money started flowing in.

quote:Ah I gotcha. If I end up leaning Manchester City along with my buddy ( would be cool to have a friend that likes the same team as me) then so be it, I don't know anyone who really likes soccer but him so no one would really know about their recent success anyway. But I am going to watch some games and see which teams stick out and are the most fun to watch. I've just been going to through Wikipedia and I've liked different things about Manchester City, Everton, Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal so who knows.

honestly i would just try watching for a few years without a favorite team. I know it goes against conventional wisdom on this type of thing but if you watch for a few years you'll develop likes and dislikes in players/managers/playing styles and clubs. Then it will be a lot easier for you.
I've done this with PL for years, the exception being the 2010 - 2011 campaign. I really started getting into Blackpool. They were end to end, fun to watch and sue me but I liked the Tangerine look. :)
If only they bothered to play defense now and then...

I root for whoever is playing arsenal.

Who has the craziest fans/best stadium. The LSU type fans/stadium. From a couple of sites I've seen ranking them most say Liverpool.

Here is my updated NFL comparison:
Man U = Cowboys - just don't pick them
Liverpool = Packers - Deep rooted, lots of past success, always in the mix
Chelsea = Patriots - most talented, wealthy and better behaved fan base
Arsenal = Giants - popular team in a large city, long-term coach who faces criticism but gets results
Manchester City = Seahawks - Defending champs, picking them now would be extremely bandwagon
Everton = Colts - knowledgeable fans, well managed, broad appeal, same colors
Aston Villa = Bears - Main fan base in a big industrial city, very hot and cold on the field
Newcastle = Eagles - Probably the rowdiest fan base, usually in the mix
Stoke = Ravens - they might not score that much, but you'll be black and blue after the game
Tottenham Hotspur = Jets - little brother from biggest city, can't break into the elite, high player turnover
Sunderland = Texans - sometimes good, but definitely not last year
Hull City = Browns - don't pick them unless you are a masochist
West Brom = Bengals - irrelevant until recently, surprising results w/ sub-par players
Swansea = Cardinals - young talent, sometimes exciting to watch, sometimes not
Southampton = Panthers - took everyone by surprise, strong young core that may get traded
West Ham = Raiders - good history, irrelevant lately, blue-collar fan base
Crystal Palace = Rams - veteran coach, deceptively good
Burnley/Leicester/QPR - Newly promoted

Nice breakdown, much appreciated.

City!
Embrace the haters.
Enjoy the championships.
Notice the only two with a negative comparison.... CITY and Newcastle.

You don't want to be a Newcastle fan.
