The Premier League is BACK!
Finally, finally finally we get some Premier League football again. It feels like only Wednesday that Tottenham were playing a European cup match.
And it’s such a wonderful time of year when every club enters with an unblemished record and an unbridled optimism that belies are far realer crippling pessimism, where every corner conceded, every goal opportunity missed and every game lost driving us further and further into madness.
Of course a Tottenham Hotspur blog will care
more about Spurs than any other football match out there this weekend, but there are still some intriguing matchups.
Two that seem particularly interesting are Chelsea-Palace and Man United-Arsenal.
I had considered setting up a poll to ask which game you’re all looking forward to most this weekend (excluding Spurs, obviously) but I’m not sure how to under this new setup. And I’m frankly too tired to learn right now.
So here’s the list of games. Which one are you looking forward to?:
- Liverpool – Bournemouth
- Villa – Newcastle
- Brighton – Fulham
- Sunderland – West Ham
- Wolves – City
- Chelsea – Palace
- Forest – Brentford
- United – Arsenal
- Leeds – Everton
Oh we’re so close to football, I can almost taste it. Share your hopes, dreams and more in the comments below.
