Finally, it's back!

What is back?

The best league in the world

Why are none of the 3pm games on TV?

So it doesn't effect crowds.

Hi all!

So I have been following The Beautiful Game on the fringes for a long time, usually with video games, lots of FIFA (mostly American databases) of Football Manager (yay steam sales), following the USA in the World Cup and of course hearing about Leicester City

Anyway since I recently got cable this year I want to start watching the BPL!

So Where do I start? It seems very complicated in getting to know teams and players, and who to start following.
My initial thoughts on who to follow is Everton mostly with the now (former) Tim Howard connection as I have since learned. Good idea? For those that follow the NFL I am a big Minnesota Vikings fan so I am used to heartbreak
Or anything that you think I should know would be very helpful!

You could do a lot worse than Everton like United so Everton is a decent pick. But you don't have to follow any specific team, just watch the better games of the weekend if you have the time and you might get drawn to a club.

hahahaha perfectly sums up Hulls woes

So silly

[Makeda]

These new logos and score graphics are absolutely atrocious.
Can't believe someone got paid a load of money to design that... I chose the wrong profession -__-

 

[bjaelke]

Jonas Hector extends his contract with Köln. There goes our top 4 chances.

I mean my advice would be just read a lot of websites dedicated to it (FourFourTwo, the PL site, etc) and watch a lot of games on these first days of the season to get a feel of each team's style and see what could interest you (although you KNOW you'll end up supporting United 8) )

I assume you've read it but the wikipedia page of the Premier League is pretty well done :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League

And the premier league website has summaries of previous seasons :

Mahrez had a shocker in the community shield. Just seems as if he'd rather be somewhere else just now.

 

[T-Rex.]

Mahrez's passing has been abysmal. #headsgone

For those that follow the NFL I am a big Minnesota Vikings fan so I am used to heartbreak

Say no more friend, Liverpool is the club for you.

 

[Mory Dunz]

These screen wipes....

 

[Blablurn]

Why is Lei not playing at home?

 

[Beefy]

Ergh, even the clock is sponsored this year. That little Tag Heuer ad will get annoying if it does it a lot.

 

[McMoneyman]

Not a big fan of the new PL graphics.

 

[Blablurn]

Leicester City should get more creativity in the midfield

 

[T-Rex.]

Nice move there, but good save and defending by Hull.


Musa should have shot himself smh.

 

[Lashley]

Musa will do brilliantly this season

 

[Mory Dunz]

Couldve maybe been a penalty on mahrez there....if he'd gone down

 

[bjaelke]

Wenger really unsettled Vardy.

 

[Syder]

Vardy should have scored twice already. I can see Leicester nicking this when Hull legs start getting tired.

 

[Mory Dunz]

OH MY musa
is the fastest in the league...?


His pass was a bit too bouncy though.

 

[bjaelke]

Hull 1-0

 

[Haribi]

Hope to see Kapustka for Gray in the second half

 

[Lashley]

Good goal for Hull

 

[T-Rex.]

Bah gawd JR. Hernandez!


Can't even tell who got the last touch there lmao.

 

[A Serious Man]

Haha, this is brilliant.

 

[Humidex]

Well, well, well!

 

[Blablurn]

Leischter bad again

Bring on United

 

[McMoneyman]

Hull - Premier League Champions 2016/17.

 

[Lashley]

Huddlestone doing well on corners. Being a pain in the neck for the GK

 

[toythatkills]

Vardy's my captain this week so I feel pretty responsible.

Sorry.

 

[Lunar FC]

Foxes are going to get relegated huh.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Double bicycle kick for the first goal of the season


sure why not

 

[Gothos]

Hope to see Kapustka for Gray in the second half

Hull winning so Albrighton more likely

 

[Lashley]

PENALTY!

 

[Pachimari]

Wait, the Premier League is starting today!? Who's playing?

 

[Makeda]

Lol Huddleston...

It's Leicester vs Hull 1-1 second half

 

[Cider X]

Not a pelanty though.

 

[Lashley]

1-1 Mahrez

 

[Portugeezer]

Ah, new season. Feels good, feels good.

 

[King_Moc]

So silly

It's the lower league crowds they're worried about I believe.

 

[Syder]

Wait, the Premier League is starting today!? Who's playing?

Spoiler

...except the people playing tomorrow and Monday.
