NBC has the EPL rights and they have every single game live on TV and online as long as your subscriber allows for it which I believe most do.

NBC now broadcasts premier league games. Saturday mornings for the most part. Also as a new arsenal fan, the first thing you should do is look up youtube highlights of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, and Robert Pires.

Edit: Also if you want to ease yourself into it and don't want to wake up earlier, you can watch match of the day later. Basically condenses all the days games into about 2 hours, showing very extended highlights of the important bits of each match.

So what time are games for Californians? Not sure I can handle 6am wake up calls for a sport I'm not that into. Yet.

Don't agree with LFC being behind Chelski and Arse in regards to title chances for 2014-2015.

Do yourself a favor and don't support Arsenal. Unless you like getting let down every February and transfer window.
Ease up 7th place, Sanchez is coming!

But seriously, don't support Arsenal if you can't afford it (either literally, or emotionally.... it's pretty draining).

No but seriously please do pick Arsenal, this place could use some classing up.

Plus, you'll get to enjoy endless humor at the expense of Neki and the cockerels!!!!

I feel compelled to follow ManU just because of Euro Trip, although Howard also makes a case for his team.

There are two ways to be good at football, one of them is precluded to (most) national teams, which is "buy the best players". Some countries do this nonetheless, with naturalized players (they offer them citizenship, say Switzerland for example).
While most members of the swiss team are first or second generation immigrants (which is not a huge surprise in a country with almost 30% of its inhabitant being foreign and immigrant making in average more children), it should be noted that, out of the 23 selected for the WC in Brazil, 17 are born in Switzerland with the remaining 6 having immigrated in the country between 1 and 5 years old. These guys are products of the swiss formation and played the U17 and U21 competitions for Switzerland, so it's not exactly like we threw passports at brazilian players that had no shot at being part of their national team.

From an administrative stand point, it should be added that Switzerland allows dual citizenship and that it is a trivial matter for someone born in the country or who immigrated very young in the country to obtain the swiss citizenship in his teens (even when not good in any sport!).

I'm a Washington Redskins fan, so I'm really looking for you guys to recommend a Premier team with a savvy, widely respected owner that lets the well qualified football people run the team and also has no chance of being accused of having a racist name/logo. I figure with a clean slate to pick I'm not going to into another situation where the entire fanbase justifiably hates the owner.

I'm leaning toward Chelsea atm...and for no reason other than their logo reminding me of the Lannisters. Thinking that might not be good enough.

I'll stop you right there - Chelski might be the worst choice in world sport if that's what you're after.

Arsenal looks like the best bet. All US RR bros aboard the Arsenal bandwagon!
