EPL is Back!

Ah, August. The Premier League is on Fox Sports World and all is right with the (football) world.

Currently watching Arsenal v Everton. The pitch at Highbury is so beautiful, even if there was no game today people might have paid just to gaze upon it.

Blistering pace, offensive pressure, great goalkeeping. I love it.

Arsenal in early trouble, with Campbell being sent off at 25 minutes for a professional foul on Graveson. Everton looking dangerous from the outset. I love this game.

My EPL fantasy team consists of Stern John, Robby Keane and Michael Owen up front; midfield of Kieron Dyer, Keith Gillespie, Jamie Redknapp and Nicky Barmby. John O'Shea, Rio Ferdinand and Steve Howey in back, and Jens Lehman in Goal.

I don't have a favorite team in the Premiership, per se, I generally root for the newly promoted teams to stay up, and whatever team is fielding Yanks on their roster. I'm hoping to see Bobby Convey have a great year for Tottenham, and Tim Howard to dominate for Man U.

Well, Arsenal just earned a penalty, which Thierry Henry, predictably, made easy work of. I better start paying attention.

Cheers, as they say over there.
