It's the Gunners year.

You sure 'bout that, Clark? ;-)

Despite their recent stumble, Man City looks formidable. A bit early to declare the EPL champ, no? That said, I'd love the Gunners to take it.

On a related front, looks like Klopp to Ansfield. If so, great switch by the Reds.

Mexico v US: they dominated us. Atmosphere in the Rose Bowl was amazing.

Are you ready for some football? I sure am. Some good/interesting matchups tomorrow.

As a new follower of EPL, an early starting Liverpool game with a new and heralded coach has me eager for Saturday morning. Plus the weather here is perfect.

Also I don't know if anyone else saw this but apparently the BBC reported on Friday that the ownership of the Sporting Kansas City MLS franchise is looking to buy Everton for approximately 225 million pounds (which equates to about 347,377,500 U.S. dollars). A spokesperson for Sporting Kansas City has said there's no truth to the report while those with Everton have not commented on the report.

Didn't see that report here in the UK on the BBC news.

Here's a link to a story regarding it bdutts: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34548860

Thanks. I did a quick search after I posted that and didn't find anything. Would have helped if I did a search with the right team. :)

Still haven't seen anything on the newscasts here. Maybe after the games are played this wee-kend (as they say here), they will broadcast it. Or maybe it's just a non-starter.

I think they may be or at least their ownership is wanting to sell. Same with Sunderland.

Randy Lerner has had Aston Villa up for sale since May 2014. he valued it at 200 million pounds if anyone is interested...

not sure anyone is going to want to buy a club headed for relegation (Sunderland and Aston Villa).

in other relegation news, huge win for newcastle today which gets them a little closer out of the drop zone. i think they'll be safe by the end of the season.

Explosive 2nd half for the Gunners. Walcott and Giroux are a good mix up front. Ozil's been great (dare I say it, this season's Eden Hazard...sacrilege) and Sanchez...well, words are not enough. When Arsenal is attacking, wow.

City and Arsenal vying for the title. City's front 5 is the best, but the gap between them and the Gunners isn't as big as I'd previously thought. City's back end is more suspect than last year (but that's kind of like saying supermodel A's looking worse than last year). Will Kompany hold up?

Meant their "title year," not "last year."

Lots of good matches this weekend. I'm going w/Arsenal, Chelsea & City. But wouldn't it be a hoot if the Hammers came through?

city should take the manchester derby. everton have been a bit out of sorts lately and arsenal are in form so i'm going with arsenal (no bias there ;)). i'd love to see the hammers kept chelsea down although their home form (1-1-2) is not as good as their away form (4-1-0).

Was wondering if you recovered from the Bayern game. ;-)

I'm going down for the homecoming game tomorrow but was wondering if anyone knows a good place to catch the arsenal-everton match at 11:30...?

Lots of mismatches this weekend. Palace may give United a hard time (hope so). Hope Klopp's side breaks through. This Chelsea slide is so rich, given last season's hubris.

Premier League Growing Cross-Pond Appeal Burnishes NBCU TV Deal

In August, when the media company announced the new deal, which extends an earlier partnership and spans the 2016-17 season through 2021-22, NBC Sports Chairman Mark Lazarus predicted the company wouldn’t make money on the transaction, positioning it more as a loss-leader that would support the broader NBC sports portfolio.

But as the U.S. audience for the Premier League surges, he already is hedging those comments, saying in a recent interview: “We won’t make money at the beginning.” Premier League matches are just about the only major sports property in the U.S. showing any significant long-term growth in a splintering media environment in which executives declare victory when audience sizes remain flat or dip only slightly.

Audience size has risen 150%, on average, compared with three years ago when the games were on Fox and ESPN.
