After what seemed like an interminable wait, the Barclays Premiere League is back. O how I’ve missed thee! Today Cablevision is offering Arsenal v. Sunderland, Tottenham v. Newcastle and West Bromwich Albion v. Liverpool. Not my faves but, who cares? It’s all footie!
So today is the Community Shield where the winners of the English FA Cup play the winners of the English Premiere League – the official start of the season (YES). This pits my team Chelsea FC against league champs Manchester City. Chelsea looked rocky in preseason; in those matches, as with today’s, we were without a full squad (Oscar is still due back from Olympic duty among others). Let’s see how they get this season started. Let’s go @chelseafc! #carefree
I can already feel it coming on. The Olympics have been awesome. Even got me going back to the gym – impressionable I know. But now it’s almost over and I’m already bummed. Oh well, at least soccer starts this weekend!
P.S. NBC still sucks. But at least they cover volleyball.
