    EPL 2013/14 Season

    The English Premier League (EPL) or British Premier League (BPL) as it should be renamed kicks off this weekend. With two Welsh teams, Cardiff City joining Swansea in the race for the lucrative title. Liverpool take on Stoke for first game of the new season on 17th Aug 12:45 (UK Time). The mighty Gunners take on Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium at 15:00 (UK Time).

    Fingers crossed Arsenal can get a couple of marquee signings to bolster the squad before September 2nd. With 3 of the top 4 teams changing mangers this summer, I’m hoping for a thrilling season and a trophy to go in the Emirates cabinet.

    Happy 20th Year EPL

    “Twenty years ago this week top-tier English clubs resigned from the Football League to launch a breakaway league, motivated by the desire to negotiate their own lucrative TV rights.”

    During that first season, the total turnover of the Prem clubs was £46million. Last season it was £1.2billion.

    Happy birthday Premier League. Born 20 years ago this week, you’ve done good.
