Yeah, I get that and maybe underestimated this sentiment, as it's been the overwhelming response to my question. I guess I'm just thinking that with streams so available now, you aren't forced to consume what cable throws at you. I just watched a stream from Reddit of Fiorentina and Torino. Just saying, if you really want to see a match, you can.

pardew is a good manager. i think he is at the perfect club right now.
i think rooney is fine, there's something weird about man utd but i think they are capable of finishing top 3, maybe the title if city slip up a bit and arsenal and chelsea keep playing like wtf
city is clearly the best team right now
swansea is a good club to choose. ayew has been a great signing. they do it the right way and look fine.
i thought they would be better under poch, still early i guess. if they bring in another forward it could get interesting
been the story of the last few years, i want to see those french fricks get it done garn darn it
chelsea will get better but the start is definitely alarming
MiB GOAT
didn't see it, but im sure it was a classico :rimshot:
ehhh i usually watch some of gameday for nostalgic purposes but LSU has basically made me numb to cfb over the last few years, which is a reason im actually unusually excited for this year because i really don't give a frick if we win or lose. actually i do care we should win every game or everyone should be fired IMHO JK TTYL BRB FWIW

You can, but I hate watching games on my computer. If I'm going to pull up a game on my laptop, it's only for a team I pull for or if there's an American that I want to check out.

One thought I forgot to include...
Shelvy... I can't get enough of watching this guy. He's like that guy who looks like he shouldn't be playing soccer but is so damn good at it you're baffled everytime you watch him. Next to Silva probably the best distributor of the ball.

Fair enough. I'm glad you're enjoying the EPL.

7. Chelsea... what happened?!?!? Well, for starters Diego Costa is not the man he was last year.
...
In the meantime find yourself another good striker, Hazard is great, but Costa needs to go and Falcao isn't the answer either. Maybe you can buy Bony, Alexis, Saku or Lakuku (sp?).
Chelsea sold Lukaku to Everton last year.
I really enjoyed your insight because it's not weighed down by anything in the past.

they show every single EPL game on TV. its just easier to record and watch at convenience.

Thanks Wait For It...
That was a bad move by Chelsea. Lukaku, Saku, Bony, Benteke, Gomis - this seems to be trend, big, powerful, skilled African fowards.
It seems like the "older" forwards are better off being brought in on the 75' instead of having the starting position. Lukaku is a beast.

You have to be fricking trolling.

WTF? Two of those are Belgian and another is French.
And I have no clue who 'Saku' is.

but most of the teams in their league probably aren't goign to beat them,
Are you telling me that Palace, Stoke, Newcastle, Villa,West Brom, etc would beat Barça and Real? Come on. Also Sevilla, Valencia, Villareal, and Atleti would dust up a lot of those teams too.

I think he's talking about the 'parity' so loved by American sports fans.

I'm pretty sure none of those guys families originated in France or Belguim. They may have immigrated there from Africa, but hey are we arguing nuances? Saku = Sako.
Posted on 8/30/15 at 6:08 pm to LSU316
Not at all. I was pretty clear that Barca and Real were probably better than any of those teams, but that top to bottom the EPL was pretty evenly matched. The dispartiy between Man City and the bottom of the league was closer than between Barca and the bottom of La Liga.
