What is the best way for an American to get started watching the English Premier league? I've always enjoyed the sport, but the MLS here just isn't very exciting. I get especially excited during the World Cup.

So what advice can you give me about how to get started watching some games? And how would I be able to watch the games here? Any idea? When I watched the World Cup I really liked watching Wayne Rooney. What team is he on?

Anything you guys can tell me would be great!

Rooney plays for Man U. He got hurt last week and is out for like 8 weeks.

If you have Dish or Direct TV you can Setanta Sports. Shows a bunch of matches, not just the Premier League but also Champions League, and other sports like rugby and criket.

If you have cable you can get FSC and GolTv. Its part of a package with all the other Fox Sports channels. Also get this if you have a dish also. GolTv shows the German league and also La Liga(Spain).

Hope that helps.

Also, RvP from Arsenal has 2 goals Chopper.

Just start watching the games or following the results and you will soon pick up what is happening there are so many sites dedicated to the premiership you should be able to find everything you want go on the bbc sport website very detailed,as for picking your team thats up to you and the fun part

Do you happen to know which team Wayne Rooney is on? Since I know very little about the sport, and I thought he was fun to watch I guess I'll start by watching his team. Maybe that will be who I root for

Nevermind, I did some research and it looks like he's on Manchester United. And from the sounds of things they are like the New York Yankees, and I don't want to root for them. I'm going to record some of the upcoming games though and start watching them.

If you dont want to be a fan of the Big 4 (Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, or Liverpool) there are so good teams out there that still get shown weekly.

for example, Fulham has three Americans on the team and I know a few people who support them just because of that.

Also, Bill Simmons(the Sports Guy from ESPN) did the same last year and did a whole article on it and its a great read and should help you out a lot.

Here's the first page to it:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719

Hey, thanks for the link! That's a great article. Based on what he has to say I really want to watch Tottenham Hotspur. I'm definitely going to just watch a bunch of games though and see if any of the teams grab me.

My family is originally from Scotland and England, and I still have distant relatives there so I'm hoping to finally get to visit and catch a game while I'm there. That's probably years away though

Or Sheffield united like me visit there site and check them out

Reports from Iceland said billionaire sports retail magnate Ashley held talks with Palmi Haraldsson and Jon Asgeir Johannesson over a £135m-plus takeover.

However, a club spokesman was swift to play down the claims, saying: "This is pure speculation. These stories are complete news to the club."

A spokesman for Ashley has declined to comment on the rumours.

606: DEBATE
The chances of a take-over are very unlikely

SC
Ashley formally completed his £134.4m swoop for the club in June this year.

Chris Mort, the man Ashley installed as his chairman following Freddy Shepherd's departure, has spoken of the new owner's long-term plans for the Premier League outfit.

Ashley reportedly ploughed another £30m into the club last week in an attempt to address the £80m debt he inherited on his arrival.

He succeeded where both the Jersey-based Belgravia Group and the Polygon-backed St James' Park Group had failed when he persuaded the Hall family to part with their 41.6% holding in return for £55m.

His takeover was all but complete when Shepherd's 28%-plus stake was secured for another £37m.

New Magpies manager Sam Allardyce, who had been appointed by Shepherd, had already started his team rebuilding plans.

He invested heavily, bringing in Joey Barton, David Rozehnal, Alan Smith and Jose Enrique among others, although the sales of Scott Parker and Kieron Dyer to West Ham mean the outlay to date this summer is about £7m.
