The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

I randomly got the Texans a couple of months ago.

The NFL is great, and its popularity over here has been rising and rising for a few years now. I never used to know anyone who followed it or took an interest, now I know plenty.

[METALMAN]

I quite like the NFL but most British people who like it are a bit crap.

THINK AGAIN!

[9 to 5]

I am no fan of the NFL, but it is a massively rising popular sport in the UK.

[Rich]

Honestly, if the games were at a more reasonable hour in the UK I would watch more.

[Dan]

Eh, the majority of games start at 6PM on Sunday, just after the Premier League games finish.

[Rich]

I'm already in bed counting the money for the next week!

Sooooo Leicester just might be a club of choice for Yanks!  Rumors swirling that Preki would be named their new coach .... and this was just released by 3rd division USL side Sac Republic (where he was the coach): Preki Accepts UK Position   MLS great to EPL manager by way of the 3rd division in the US?!!?!!  Holy hell that'd be great.

[EddieG]

His Wiki already says Leicester.

[brenchill]

Awesome.

[Meacon Keaton]

Well he's now the second American to hop on the Leicester train this week. 

[METALMAN]

Haahahahahahaha sac republic

[brenchill]

Best managerial appointment ever.

I do enjoy the sport, but my biggest problem is that the matches take so much longer than they ought to. When you've got 60 minutes on the clock, I don't expect them to still be playing over three hours later, yet once the adverts have kicked in after almost every sodding play, consider what I thought were my reasonable hopes dashed. It's funny that we're supposed to be in an era of instant gratification, yet when money talks, the art of getting a bloody move on seems curiously lost.

[Benji]

Underwhelming if true.

BBC local radio guys don't think it's him, but I can't imagine he'd have been on any sane person's radar.

[Hobo]

It's coming out tonight that Gary McAllister is being considered for a coaching role at Liverpool.

[Bobfoc]

He had a good run for Liverpool during their treble-winning season. A similar kind of influence could be valuable.
