As a guy, whenever you watch an action move no matter how cheesy or awesome the movie is you always leave the theater a little giddy.  It’s a sort of giddy that you can’t show other people because they’ll know you’re a loser, but I promise you every guy feels it.  We get some sort of high off of watching the most awesome scenes in a movie and we always think “I could do that.”  The best part of it is when the girl/friends/city/civilians are held in peril because the hero was late/off training/recovering/fighting his own demons — so he comes in late.  And as you watch the villain tear the city apart and the hero pops up, in all his glory, all you can think is…  “yeah…”

This is exactly like that, except you couldn’t do it.  Because no one is paying you $150,000 A WEEK to kick a ball.  And if you are getting paid that much, I’m really excited that you read our blog.  The English Premier League is the big one that starts this weekend.  As I stated here, this season should be pretty entertaining.  Nevertheless, starting off on the right foot is where everyone wants to be.  No one wants to worry about chemistry, injuries, or rowdy fans to start the season, but the clubs and cities in England are experiencing all of those with a couple of major stars sitting as want-a-ways that could potentially wreck some seasons or be just the thing some clubs are looking for to clear the air.  A breath of fresh air is needed for some clubs, and other clubs are shoving their best jewelry deep within their closets.

Manchester United will win the EPL this season.  Manchester City is the only real contender to that in my book.

Luis Suarez will win player of the year. Barring major injury to himself, with the way he flourished last season with almost a week to week change at forward and most of the midfield, he was still nearly unstoppable.

The worst summer transfer (so far — 20 days left) is not giving Alberto Aquilani even the mindset that he could play for Liverpool.  He has been the hottest player this summer and he and Suarez opposite each other on the pitch would give Liverpool more confidence and flair than their 34 center midfielders.

The EPL is going to start off with flying colors and with enough games to bounce back from a few heartaches it’ll be great to see how excited I am when Arsenal blows it.  But for now, I’m giddy as ever because I have hope.
