The one thing I hate about the Premier League is that going into it, I know that Arsenal realistically has no chance at the title when Man U., Man City and Chelsea can spend like drunken sailors on shore leave.

Yeah, me too. Most of the first half they looked way out of their league. Second half they definitely showed better for themselves.

And just two seasons ago we were in the third tier having just been saved from near bankruptcy! It was a very heartening start to life back in the EPL. All the fans at Southampton are treating this like a win! LOL

Btw, I dunno what Fox did to get a yellow during the celebration, but I think any celebration should have been legal for Southampton scoring their first goal back in the EPL against the defending champs on the road.

I leave to go eat at a pub near me and it was 2-1. I get there and they have it on the tv and it's 3-2. I said wtf?!
Isn't this this second season in a row that a team has made consecutive promotions to get to the premier league? It's very impressive. Was it Norwich last season?

Yup. And Man City did it in 2000.

Back to MLS: anyone watch DC United-Philadelphia? What a mess. 1-1, game winning penalty discounted, four red cards, poor officiating, teammates shoving each other.

My name is Phillip and I'm a soccer fan! 
I enjoyed it during the 90s when we hosted the WC. Played on a club team in college before catching mono and having to give it up. Hadn't thought much about it since then. About 5 or 6 years ago a university TV station started rebroadcasting Everton matches and it became a habit for me to catch a game or 2 every week and have a pint of homebrew. I've been increasingly following the game ever since.
Fast forward to current times. I'm a MLS Live subscriber (though I won this year's subscription via fantasy play), following MLS, Everton & Newcastle to a lesser degree in the EPL, and Barca in La Liga. Living more than a 9 hour drive each way from any MLS franchise when I started following the league a few years back I decided to follow one original team from each conference and one new expansion team. Thus I follow Chicago/Philly in the east and LA/Seattle in the west.
Only 2 sports I have time for are soccer and college football but I do catch a boxing match when I can! Thanks for the soccer thread.

Chicago, LA and Seattle? You must have a high tolerance for player whining. :cross:
Still, I'm sure you were as happy as I was to see Everton win yesterday.

He warms the bench when he wants....
Been a long time coming for sure. Everton does wonderful with the budget they have and I'm comfortable putting David Moyes in the upper echelon of EPL coaches.
Any soccer fan has a high degree of tolerance for whining don't they? Beckham has made a fool of himself more than once over the past couple years... whatever it takes for him to get into the game!
Anyone else follow the CONCACAF Champions League? Really entertaining seeing MLS teams vs non MLS teams. So far this year the teams are looking good... of course they aren't facing Mexican sides just yet!
Houston's B-side was really impressive playing away. Well everyone was impressive except for Adam Moffett... man dude has never impressed me, but I never saw him totally suck like he did the other night!

IS there a relationship with the namesake on RM?
God willing, this weekend we'll get our first road win of the season!

Sounders baby... no one supports their team in MLS like Seattle- the rest are just pretenders... the Seattle crowds compete with the ones in Europe as far as attendance numbers and atmosphere... if you get a chance and if you can get a ticket- come see the Sounders in CLink Field- it will blow your mind... and ruin your experience at your home field...

Living here it tells me that Pacific Northwesterners tend to be more open minded to new things. Yes, that is a terrible way to live.. You should never consider living here. In fact, nobody should move to the land of Hops and Grains.
And let's see when we check superbowls it seems we put a team there in 2005. The last team from Dallas that was there was 1996?
Could it be that you are All Hat, No Cattle on this one?
Thanks but no thanks, I'd rather live up here, watch sports I enjoy (we also have decent rugby in the PNW) than worry about what someone else tells me I should watch.
Cheers and enjoy your Yakima Hops...
