A few things stood out this past EPL season opening weekend. First, apparently it's called the BPL?
No, it'll always be either the Premiership or EPL to me. Sorry, Barclays. Money-grubbing
bastards.
Second, Liverpool won their opening day match on the road at Villa. I honestly thought this match
would end in a draw, but the Reds were thoroughly dominant and did something that took them about
half the season to do last year: they won away from Anfield.

The arrival of the Premier League coincided with the transition to all-seater stadiums and the
first Sky TV contract.
