Yeah french players dream of playing in the EPL, even if it is for the last team of the league. It's not even sarcasm... They just want exposure I guess. You can thank the marketing team of the EPL for selling their tv rights so good in other countries. In France we can't see so many games of la Liga, and there are few to no games of Bundesliga or Calcio, so I guess that's where all the EPL hype comes from and convince these players to move there.
I can understand them for not wanting to stay in France though x)

I hope he finally gets out of Bolton, a few years ago he was one of the most promising players in PL.

I'm not saying Hazard was right to kick the ball underneath him to get it back, but the "kid" should get his club a fine for allowing such unsporting behavior to happen in a cup semi final. Hazard is going to get a 3 match ban for what he did, and that is more than enough.

The ref did handle it poorly as well as he did not notice any of the antics that were going on until it was to late, the same with the linesman who was like 10yards away from play >.<

Lol @ the comment of "it automatically becomes a criminal charge of assault" that's a load of bull as the kid and his dad (who ironically is on the Swansea directors board) are not pressing charges, so nothing will happen.


I called him kid derisively, and I think that's how it is for most.

Ok but still 90% of these comments think the "kid" was actually hurt when he clearly was faking it like the modern stars do. A millionaires son who has a 22.5% stake in swansea and thats how their son is acting >.>

Anyway im bored of talking about it, we shall discuss it more if any other news comes out (ala whether Hazard is banned more than 3 games, or if Swansea get fined)



Transfer News!

Zaha set for United medical

Sky Sports sources understand Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha is set to have a medical at Man Utd in the next 48 hours

Queens Park Rangers closing on deal for Yun Suk-Young

Yun Suk-Young is on his way to the Premier League with Queens Park Rangers, according to his current employers

Source



Hottest talent in England looks to be set to sign for Man Utd. Wish him well as his prospects are pretty good. Pretty sure he is injured now though?

Would be cool if he linked up with Ki Sung-yong at Swansea
It was unfortunate that he's on such a crap team like Bolton, and that he broke his leg a while ago which hindered his development.

I'm also excited about the story of Son Heung-min transferring from Hamburg to Spurs.

I hope he's a striker to stay for a while. Probably too much to hope for.

For what is worth, if I knew he was just covering the ball to waste time, I'd have kicked him in the nuts and I'd slap the fuck out of him for being such a little shit.

He, and his dad, should get some kind of fine for allowing this kind of stupid behaviour.

Also, today is Barcelona vs Malaga, in the return of the cup quater finals(?).

Should be an exciting game, Barça needs to go and get it, and Malaga can make the battle a troublesome uphill road to Barça if they net a goal.

gogog Messi, go insane today! :D

Better angle, he was clearly kicking the ball.

Hazard said he is sure he kicked the ball and not the boy. And as Pandemona said, the ball boy is 17 and a millionaire's son who takes pictures of himself yoloswagging in first class, breaking bottles of champagne for fun. He is a spoilt little tanned shit. He bragged about timewasting on twitter. All of that added up I would now actually consider rescinding the red card if I were the FA.

Just our of curiosity:
It seems like 90% of the talk in this thread are about the EPL - but what about the other leagues?
Many of you aren't even from the UK and yet you even talk about minor clubs in the EPL but not about big clubs in other leagues. Is it that the EPL just gets much more coverage around the world or why are you focusing so heavily on this league?

Yes that is right. Premier League is the biggest league in the world for a reason, it is the most watched for a reason. Sky and Barclays pump insane money into the premiership, and many other TV networks around the world im sure. It generates so much money it is crazy.

Bundesliga for the English, is on ESPN which is a PPV channel, i have it but rarely watch any live Bundesliga action. I watch alot of LaLiga action as it is on sky sports and normally on after a prem game on Sunday. Serie A again is only on ESPN so i rarely catch a game from there. Ligue 1 does not interest me, and nor does the rest of the leagues around Europe.

That being said, im confident in saying the Champions League is probably the most watched competition?

Yeah it's easiest to find high quality streams for, also the most money also means most of the better players.
I also like to watch top teams of Serie A, because I want to see Juve beat the shit out of them all. I'd probably watch Serie A the most if they weren't so poor atm. La Liga is also usually at a good time and interesting if it's one of the more interesting teams against each other or Barca/Madrid(those two mean good quality streams, although I get pissed when they win)

Serie A is actually really exciting nowadays. Juve are holding on to their lead, but apart from that, all the other places are up for grabs between 5-6 teams.

I think it's what Pandemona says. It's not just the clubs that are hyped, it's the league itself.

I get every single EPL game in HD. In Canada we can't watch La Liga at all, whoever it is that owns the rights (Al Jazeera I think) doesn't broadcast it or allow anyone else to. There's a number of Bundesliga games but it's a channel that isn't provided in HD so I rarely watch it unless it's a big game.

EPL coverage just blows everything out of the water here. I get every CL game in HD too though so that's nice

God it's really depressing watching some liga matches because there's barely anyone in the stands sometimes. Just watching Atletico v Betis and the stadium is at like half capacity. Seems like quite a nice stadium.
