October 3, 20169 yr Seven games in and there's still one undefeated squad, Tottenham Hotspur (I love some of those names) has 5 wins and two draws for 17 points. But they're a point behind Manchester City; 6 wins and a loss (that loss coming to Tottenham today, I think). Last year's improbable champs, Leicester City is languishing in 12th place.
October 3, 20169 yr Swansea City has thrown in the towel Former USMNT boss Bob Bradley named Swansea City’s new manager – ProSoccerTalk
October 3, 20169 yr Swansea City has thrown in the towel Former USMNT boss Bob Bradley named Swansea City’s new manager – ProSoccerTalk About time. He seems perfect for a low-to-mid-table Premiership manager. Won't be the guy to pull a Leicester and turn a lower team into a winner, but I think he has solid potential to take a team and keep them where they are, perhaps challenge for Europa League spots.

Be sweet if they sign Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan
October 3, 20169 yr Be sweet if they sign Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan Landon Donovan is miles past his prime. The fact that he can come back to MLS out of retirement and start scoring again is a testament to the deliberately lousy defenses in that league.
October 5, 20169 yr Liverpool has played pretty exceptional so far, save for laying an egg on the road at Burnley. Wins on the road at Chelsea and Arsenal are huge.
October 5, 20169 yr Good thing Bradley got hired just before the international break; he's got a fortnight to figure out how not to get humiliated on the road at the Emirates. Welcome to the Premier League, Bob, now go try and steal a point at Arsenal.
December 27, 20169 yr Bob Bradley fired after just 11 games. Never got so much as a transfer window to make things his own. What a farce. Hope Swans are relegated.
December 30, 20169 yr Chelsea rolling right now. Conte's switch to 3 at the back has done wonders and Moses has performed excellent as a wing back. If they can keep this momentum going they are going to be hard to catch. Im anxious for the rematches with Arsenal and Liverpool, should be interesting.
December 30, 20169 yr Man U finally putting it together. Love him or hate him, when Mourinho is on his teams are hard to beat. Not always the most exciting brand of football but his defend, defend, defend, counter every now and then and score a goal, then defend, defend, defend and hold the lead style is effective. I've heard Jose's brand of football is anti-football but it gets the job done. But only flip side of that is he will eventually put Zlatan or someone like that in the dog house because they are not defending hard enough. He is probably the only manager on the planet that would limit Eden Hazards attacking prowess and force him to play more as a defensive player, but hey like I said, it can be effective.
February 1, 20179 yr Interesting action yesterday that had an impact on the table. Chelsea and Liverpool played to a draw yesterday, although Diego Costa had a PK blocked around the 80 minute mark that could have won it. Arsenal lost a shocker to Watford and Spurs drew with bottom dwellers Sunderland. All of this creates a 9 point cushion for Chelsea. Chelsea and Arsenal square off next weekend at Stamford Bridge and they still have both Manchester teams left to play. This next week could very well decide the championship but we still have a long way!
February 1, 20179 yr I root for Arsenal and the Bengals. Why do I do this to myself? As far as Arsenal goes, it's a little like being a Dolphins fan... you'll always have 2004.
