[!@#$%!]

first impressions plenty, first one being: it’s a world cup every matchday! as patsy stone would put it (ha ha ha) “names, names, names”. lol

then it’s the insane parity/unpredictability of the thing. e.g., i could not believe that a team with pogba and lukaku in it could be so thoroughly punked by a nowhere team, but there you go. same with the monday liverpool game being so tight.

and i do not remember this prem. maybe i was looking at it wrong but i do not believe it was the same quality 5-6 years ago. i remember liking man city who were then champions but they were not this. i remember trying to like liverpool at the time, and same thing. klopp >> brendan rogers, and their current forwards... wow. i remember also trying to like arsenal and being thoroughly bored with them—pass, pass, pass, fail to score... there was no team for me to love. now there are several.

i dont know if it’s the tv money or a change in my perspective, or the new foreign managers or what, but this prem is a different prem than i recall. very different. or maybe i changed.
