    I do watch it.

    I just started watching soccer, so I don't have a team yet.

    Honestly, I think that its one of the most entertaining leagues in sports.

    I know that Spain and Germany have the best teams (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, etc)... but those leagues are really lopsided.

    BPL has the most competitive and entertaining games

    I'm a gooner :)

    I have to say, despite Arsenal dropping out of the title race (due to our woeful inconsistency), I still maintain this is probably the best BPL season in recent years.

    Also helps that we're in the FA Cup final for once!

    I follow Everton and am off to watch the game this evening at Goodison when they play Man City. My husband follows Liverpool so he is really keen for an Everton win to keep Liverpool's hopes of wining the league alive!!!!

    A few of my Toffee friends kind of see this as a win-win game. If they win, awesome... if they lose, then the Reds (who I go for) get a knock.

    ****in' toffees

    was working on an oil rig on that side of the world, and saw a documentary on Swasea City..they seemed like some real underdogs, and have some rising stars like Michu and Davies. been rooting for them ever since

    Swansea is a pretty amazing team. I'm a big fan of Shelvey.. .Its likely that he will get bought out in a year or two (perhaps by his former club).

    Davies is pretty legend too

    My team is in the league below (the Championship), but it has been an amazing season in the Premier League, even down to who qualifies top four for Europe, and the relegation battle.

    Hahaha. :/

    I think he's a great choice. I don't think anyone was expecting us to win anything this year, especially after our lack of buying, but to be as mediocre as we have been has been a real shock. I think the players just didn't respect Moyes and I don't see that happening with Van Gaal. He's done so much how could they not?!

    I think Moyes got a raw deal. It was clear that the players were not doing what they were told... Moyes made some boneheaded decisions, for sure... but the quality with the players was lacking... and I think that has more to do with them than with Moyes

    Chelsea fan here. Have always liked soccer, but last couple of years I have gotten interns from England, and they have got me hooked on BPL now

    I disagree. Sure, the players he had to work with were not top class, and I've been pretty pissed off with them a lot this season for not playing like they care, but it's the manager's job to get the most out of his players as he can and Moyes just failed to do that.
