    Two weeks until the EPL season kicks off!!

    Been some movement in the off-season, Luis Diaz is now with Bayern Munich.

    Rumors of Ollie Watkins transferring to United (would be a huge blow for Villa)

    Newcastle blocked Liverpools bid for Isak

    The Basketball Desert from now until Eurobasket will be nicely filled with football for me, and Premier League football, for the first time in 2 years.

    Who’s winning the table this year? I don’t think it’s Liverpool.

    Is it going to be between Arsenal and City?

    Will Leeds avoid relegation?

    Y’all better beat Everton at home week 1 or thats a bad omen. Everton are overdue for relegation.

    Liverpool will win the EPL title again this season.

    Liverpool 4-2 Bournemouth yesterday to open the EPL.

    YNWA in full force as Liverpool remember Diogo Jota and Andre Silva during their opener at Anfield.

    Was a pretty good game. Ekitike for Liverpool got in towards the end of the 1H, and Gakpo made it 2-0 early in the 2H before Semenyo got 2 quick goals for Bournemouth to make it 2-2. All Liverpool in the last 20 minutes as F. Chisea and M.Salah both pick up goals.

    Checked the score and looked like a rough one. On to the next.

    Villa fortunate to get out of their opener vs Newcastle with 1 point. Villa was on a red card for ~30m of match time.

    Also on the schedule for today

    7am
    Brighton V Fulham
    Tottenham V (Promoted) Burnley
    (Promoted) Sunderland V West Ham

    930am
    Wolves V Manchester City

    Absolute stinker for West Ham losing 3-0 to Sunderland.

    Tottenham gets their first win since losing their captain Heung-Min Son. But you’ve got to think that was a favorable parting for the Spurs given Sons Stage in his career. Definitely looked in form to start their season.

    I expect city to come out dominant in the first 10 legs. A couple tough matches there, but they will be top of the table before facing Liverpool.

    Brennan Johnson was part of the Nottingham Forest club which earned promotion to the EPL. If the Spurs have a great season then he will be a big part of that. Kind of crazy that Solanke is on the bench for Spurs. I think they will have a better season than last.

    Won’t be long before people demand this is moved to OT…

    Here we go RastaNikolaou. I just want to see Everton relegated. I don’t even know why. They are like the side character in a story that just never dies. Send them into the season with a good old howdya do.

    Wish granted. Although even I have to admit that penalty was distinctly dodgy. Nice to see Grealish actually get on the pitch although I'm glad he didn't do much.
