We are now in the middle of August which brings us to the start of that nine month marathon of soccer viewing ecstasy known as the EPL. A great start that saw me catch three full games and parts of two others, a rarity now that we have two little ones roaming the house.
I saw some excellent performances, Drogba and Chelsea dismantling West Bromwich Albion, Spurs dominating City (but somehow not scoring) and a gritty Liverpool almost stealing the win after playing a man down for a half.
All of that said, the highlight was in a dull, dull game from a neutrals point of view, the nil-nil affair between Bolton and Fulham (if you are paying attention, they are my team in the EPL). The action (or lack thereof) non-withstanding, my favorite moment was realizing John Pantsil had continued his WC trend of wearing one long sleeve and one short sleeve on his jersey. Couldn't find one from this weekend, so this shot is from the WC.
Pantsil is a crowd favorite at Craven Cottage, and this just confirms how weirdly awesome he is.
