It’s hard to believe the season is over. Sure, there are the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League to look forward to followed by pre-season friendlies (some of them in the States). But our Saturdays and Sundays won’t be the same until August 11th when the Premier League returns.
Yes, we all deserve a break (the players and clubs included) so we can recharge our batteries and not get burned out from soccer 365 days a year. But for those of you, myself included, who can’t go cold turkey until August 5th when Chelsea play Man United in the Community Shield at Wembley, the best place to turn to is here (the EPL Talk Blog) and the EPL Talk Community.
During the summer, keep an eye out for:
- The launch of EPL Talk TV. I can’t say anything more about it right now, but I’ll let you know here as soon as it’s ready for launch.
- Championship Talk Podcast launch. Brian Koski has been hard at work planning and brainstorming ideas for the new podcast focused on the Coca-Cola Championship League. If you get a chance, be sure to watch the playoff matches this week on Setanta as Southampton plays Derby and Wolves battle West Bromwich Albion.
- More episodes of the EPL Talk Podcast. While the football podcasts for The Guardian and presumably The Times will be going on hiatus this summer, we won’t miss a beat with our weekly interviews. More great guests on the way including JP Dellacamera.
It’s going to be another long hot summer. Despite that, there’ll be plenty of news in store as the preparations continue for the 07/08 Premier League season. Plus as major soccer networks such as Setanta Sports attempt to increase the number of companies that will carry its network. We’ll cover the major stories here.
