Barclays Premier League – After months of rotting away, looking at a blank TV screen (seriously, that’s what BPL fans do during the off season, we wait for BPL to start again), the BPL is FINALLY back. And holy smokes does it look to be one of the greatest seasons ever.

This season, the BPL once again welcomes a household name in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who claims he’s the God of Manchester United. Not only that, we also have the likes of arguably one of the best midfielders right now, Paul Pogba, joining our ranks. And what about the legendary managers Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and the master tactician, Pep Guardiola. What sort of havoc are these guys gonna create?
How will the reigning champions Leicester City perform? Will Claudio Ranieri and his Foxes do it two years in a row? Or will they be facing relegation instead? Well, whatever happens, this will undoubtedly be one hell of a title chase.
Arsenal fans are disappointed though. As a Gooner through and through myself, it looks to be another disappointing season for the Gunners with meaningless signings and Arsene Wenger’s giant ego. Drama drama drama! What a time to be alive. What a time to be a BPL fan.
Here are the top 15 talking points from the first week of the BPL.
15. Leicester City Loses Opening Game
Leicester City winning the 2015-2016 season of the Barclays Premier League will go down in the history books as one of the greatest footballing stories every told. Manchester United was suffering from a managerial crisis in Louis Van Gaal, Chelsea was performing horribly under Jose Mourinho, Manchester City was doing okay and Arsenal was being Arsenal. Meanwhile, a small club in Leicester City was slowly climbing up the ranks. They performed brilliantly from day one, but most people (myself included) wrote them off. I mean, we’ve seen it before. A small club will try to hang with the big boys for a short period of time, but by the end of the season, the status quo will remain unchallenged. Leicester City was having none of that though, as they kept going and going and didn’t look to slow down. By the end of the season, the eyes of the entire footballing world were on them. Were they gonna do it? Yes!
It was exciting to watch Leicester City’s journey towards winning the BPL title. As it seems, it’s gonna be more fun watching them get relegated this season. I know, I know, it’s only been one game. But this past weekend, Leicester City broke the BPL record in being first reigning champions to lose the opening game of their title defence.
