Does Newcastle ever get on Fox Soccer Channel or GOLTV? Chelsea always seems to be on those channels.
Don't go for Liverpool, I can't stand Liverpool fans. If you have to pick a Premiership one (REAL football is in League one with Leeds! Well, at least until we come back up) go for Arsenal.

Black Cats land Richardson
By Lewis Rutledge - Created on 16 Jul 2007
Sunderland have snapped up Kieran Richardson from Manchester United.
A fee has not been disclosed for the versatile midfielder but it is believed to be in the region of £5.5million.
Manchester City were also linked with Richardson but Black Cats boss Roy Keane has won the race for his signature after striking a deal with his former club.
Richardson has signed a four-year deal and is relishing the prospect of playing at The Stadium of Light.
"It's an exciting move for me," the 22-year-old told Sunderland's official website.
"I know all about Roy Keane and I'm looking forward to playing for his team.
"Sunderland are a big club and it's a massive move for me."
Keane added: "I'm delighted that we've been able to bring Kieran to Sunderland.
"He's ready for a fresh challenge and hopefully Sunderland will provide that for him."
Richardson is Keane's fourth summer signing following Greg Halford, Russell Anderson and Michael Chopra.
He could make his debut in Wednesday's friendly against Darlington.
On a different note...never trust a skunk.
Trio confirm police raids
By Graeme Bailey - Created on 16 Jul 2007
Newcastle, Portsmouth and Rangers have confirmed they were visited by Police on Monday.
City of London Police instigated raids on three football clubs as they investigated corruption in football.
Northumbria Police were first to reveal that Newcastle were one of the clubs, but the Magpies have been quick to deny that they are under investigation - despite being visited by police.
"Newcastle United can confirm that it was visited this morning by the City of London Police," read a Newcastle statement.
"The club itself is not the subject of the investigation.
"If the investigation by the City of London Police, or the ongoing internal review of operations by the club's new owners, show that the club has been the victim of any criminal activity, the club will take appropriate action."
Rangers and Portsmouth both confirmed they were also helping the Police with their enquiries.
"We can confirm that the police arrived at about 10am this morning [Monday]," said Pompey's director of communications Gary Double.
"We have co-operated fully with their search and will not be commenting further."
A Rangers spokesman said: "Rangers Football Club was asked to co-operate with the police investigation and have done so, extending every co-operation.
"We have been requested by police not to comment further while the investigation continues."

ThanksI think over the course of a season, all clubs get about the same amount of exposure on FSC. I remember seeing Watford and Sheffield Utd and Wigan more times than I wanted to. West Ham seemed to be on FSC more frequently than other clubs, though. Although I'm sure that FSC would like to show the big 4 more often, Setanta gets the "prime" Saturday game and sometimes the better Sunday game, too.
GolTV doesn't have the EPL, they have the Spanish league.

and another one in - Dickson Etuhu for £1.5 million more of a squad player here but brings the competition for places needed to be a good prem lge side.
Thats Halford for 2.5, Anderson for 1.0, Chopra for 5.0, Richardson for 5.5 and Etuhu for 1.5 so far with more come it looks things are hotting up before the seaosn starts

Now that Fox Soccer Channel has acquired the TV rights to Serie A beginning with the 07/08 season, the regular 2:30pm ET tape delayed EPL match will be shown later in the evening on Saturdays (and after midnight if Fox is showing a MLS game on Saturday night). For the first few weeks of the season, the tape delayed EPL match will be shown at its 2:30pm ET start-time only because the Serie A season begins later than the Premier League's season.
For the latest TV listings of your Premier League matches on U.S. television, stay tuned to EPL Talk all season long.
Baggies?
1936, when they became the last team wearing striped shirts to win the league.
OKay okay, I'll pick Sunderland as my PL team. How about a quick breakdown of club history and roster breakdown.
I can just switch right. The original "Fever Pitch" said it takes years to become a football fan, right?Ah, you've made the wrong choice, my friend. Be prepared for a heartbreaker of a season.
