Arsenal
Aston Villa
Brighton & Hove Albion
Burnley
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Everton
Fulham
Leeds United
Leicester City
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Sheffield United
Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur
West Bromwich Albion
West Ham United
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Comment with SPOILERS below and I'll get it all compiled. (Or maybe I'll outsource it.) Submissions due by September 18.
Also, I've traditionally participated in a head-to-head Fantasy Premier League for $20 that recently dissolved, so I'm trying to create a replacement. If anyone wants to play (it'll only be for $20 if we get enough entries), let me know and I'll shoot you the league code. It's run on the Premier League website and will use the $100.0 salary cap, so you'll just need to create a team and join the league by this Friday.

Today's the Champions League final between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. I'm sure I speak for all right-thinking Citizens when I say Forza Atleti!. Kickoff is at 1PM Central on FOX (not FSN, actual FOX)

I figured why not? Great news is that I found out my uncle's cable provider (Xfinity) has Premier League onDemand, so I get to watch Fulham get the shit kicked out of them by Liverpool even though Chelsea-West Brom is on. And if both of those games go South quickly, I have 3 more matches to chose from. It's amazing to me to think about how just 3 years ago I could barely get a game on TV, and now I can literally watch any match I want.
And don't forget the MLS Cup Playoffs are in full swing. Today is SKC at Houston (2:30/1:30 Central on NBC). SKC sure did take their sweet-ass time overcoming the 2-1 deficit from the first leg v. the Revs, but boy am I glad they did. And Houston knocked out Community Shield winners NYRB, keeping NYRB/MetroStars's perfect record of no MLS Cups in tact, a fact I'm very much in favor of. Tomorrow at 9/8C on ESPN, Portland travels to RSL. RSL overcame a 1-0 first leg deficit to eliminate the Cup holders LA Galaxy. Portland won both legs of their NW Derby with Seattle to advance 5-3.
