Well it's upon us, like it or not! 100 degrees outside or not. Just thought I might start-up a thread to discuss some Premiership and the other leagues. It's just a bummer that Serie A and La Liga's presence will suffer for us in the US this season. Here, I focus on the Premier League b/c it does seem to be the majority of fandom and accessibility.

Feel free to share, yell, blather or poeticize. I'd love to have some good talk on the European leagues, something I still find difficult on the internets. Share some of your affiliations and predictions here and we'll get a-yappin':

1. Who's your Premier League club? How did you come to choose them?

2. Give your predicted 1-2-3-4 finish for the PL.

3. Who wins Golden Boot in the PL?

4. American player with "best" season in any league? Note "best" is purely subjective!

5. La Liga: Who wins the league; Real Madrid or Barcelona?

6. Any grand thoughts, opinions or outcomes for anything else, any league?

7. If you leave your couch to watch early morning footy on the weekends, where do you typically go?

(Hope it's not too much Q&A!)
