Ten Things I Noticed About the English Premier League (EPL)

  • When they play winter matches in December and January, you can see it’s REALLY cold (except when Portsmouth play at home).
  • Some matches like Blackburn versus Fulham are quite boring. I’m sorry, it really is.
  • Manchester United and Chelsea aren’t the only rich teams. Tottenham and Newcastle, too, have some serious cash to burn.
  • I have a strange, nagging feeling West Brom, Manchester City and Portsmouth won’t win the Premier League this year. No offence to their supporters, but its just gut feeling.
  • Some players would rather sit on the bench of a rich, successful team than be the star player of an average team. Or even BEHIND the bench. (refer to Scott Parker, Alan Smith and Louis Saha)
  • In general, English refs are pretty lenient on high tackles and back talking.
  • When a home team player goes for a corner kick, you can see the camera phones coming out.
  • Bolton has got some really old and slow players. That’s quite mean, but it’s true!
  • You can never make out the words of the songs those half-drunk fans sing during the boring parts of the game.
  • It’s quite disappointing to find out that the Premier League has nothing to do with the Justice League.
