No real Manchester United fan refers to them as "Man U."

RVP and Berba both start off sitting.

Everton consistently plays some of the most entertaining soccer in the EPL. I love Fellani and Peinaar. Would love to see them finish top 6 (and challenge top 4) to play in Europe next year.

Jagaleina or however its spelled has been a beast on defense today. What a clearance moving away from his body with outside of the left foot. Just awesome.

And RVP making his debut for ManU.

Awesome result. It'll be interesting to see if Everton can keep this going. Usually, their earlier season struggles play them out of any race before the season really starts.

Nice win for the Toffees! With Dempsey essentialy out at Fulham, but not on anyone else squad right now, I am a default Everton fan in the EPL. Usually like Fulham with Everton 2nd.

FUCK! BeinSport has bought the rights to EVERY USMNT World Cup Qualifying away match. If Cable Carriers pick up the station, not a big deal at all. But if not, we wont be able to watch our boys in the away matches. Right now only DirecTV and Dish have the station.

So I just got caught up on the whole Clint Dempsey ordeal and although I don't know every detail...it seems like he is coming off as a total asshole.

It sucks too, Fulham fans LOVED him. He wants to play Champs League but wants to force a move to Liverpool?

I hope it gets sorted asap, because again...he looks like a dickhead in all this. Fuck it....send him to Arsenal. We know Wenger wouldn't do it, but as a fan I'd be all for it.

They're picking up everything. Plus, it seems like they're uninterested in sub licensing. I fear that this is bad news for the growth of soccer in America, especially if ESPN gets shut out all the rights. I feel that if soccer (EPL and other major leagues) becomes buried on these specialty channels, it's good for the hardcore fan. For the casual fan who won't shell out the bucks to get a soccer specific channel, it hurts their interest.

Bunch of shit stains, those guys. There's no way cable companies get enough pressure to pick up the station.

I also wholeheartedly agree with this. If EPL and the other big leagues are relegated to what amounts to a specialty sports-tier channel, people - particularly the casual fan - will just ignore them. If they're on a channel they already get (ESPN, NBC Sports even) then people who wouldn't normally watch will because interested, and become fans.

Fuck BeinSport. Fuck them.

IF Bein Sport becomes available easily on the major companies, it will be awesome I think. I just doubt it happens. I see it as a GolTV type station...but then again, FSC became available on every company quickly, so you never know.
