Football is England favourite sport, right behind shooting themselves in the foot.I think the biggest thing that a lot of people aren't thinking about yet is that the EPL changed their transfer window to now end the day before the season starts, so it's August 9th this year. You're going to see some pretty unprepared EPL teams getting burned by this as well as some teams in the other top leagues take advantage without an English team being able to bid for a player.
This is interesting, so after the 9th the rest of europe can get players from EPL but they won't be able to replace those until the next transfer window.I think the biggest thing that a lot of people aren't thinking about yet is that the EPL changed their transfer window to now end the day before the season starts, so it's August 9th this year.

Do EPL players have buy out clauses?
Gurgeh any suggestion on an EPL team? I want to be as annoying as possible to Ossoi and Bubbles.
You mean stuck with it for four years and a half ? I'm a bit sad that Deschamps will keep coaching the french team at least until euro 2020. Sure, he can do the job and have a good chance at winning it, but Zidane would probably polish that team and look less ugly.this thread title triggers me. Don't tell me we're stuck with it for an entire season?
Yeah as Brando stated, I'm not much into EPL, they aren't likely candidate to win the CL, teams seem to be solely focused on the EPL. You'd think English teams would be better as they have a truckload of money, but they're forced to spend it on british players, so I guess : suck to be them. I feel like following Barca or Madrid is just more fun if you're to follow a foreign team. I'm a bit curious to see what RM will look like next year.Gurgeh any suggestion on an EPL team?

That being said, if I were an englishman, I'd probably not care much about anything but the EPL either, it's the most lively league with the most passionnate supporters, it's just that if you're outside the UK and can't go see the games and then to a pub, EPL just lose all its savour.
With that said LFC did just make the final and I'd say all four of the PL teams will be expected to make the round of 16 at minimum with ManC probably a betting favorite again for the whole thing.

Well then you'll explain the EPL having half the top 10 and top 20 richest team in Europe and one CL in 10 years... The likelyhood of that happening is about 1% (assuming there's a 50% chance of an EPL team winning), and if you look at the last 25 years, it's even worse, 4 out of 25, the likelyhood is pretty much 0. So EPL teams are doing far worse in CL than they should, my explanation is that they don't care, CL has a lower priority than EPL.This is Razzes level "new to football" nonsense

Your take is that you went to see a semi last year so everything must be fine. Alright.Liverpool made it to final in Klopps first attempt
The notion that EPL teams/fans only care about EPL is nonsense, Liverpool have won CL 5x
