With the AFL season well and truly at an end, many footy fans will be turning their attention to other sports to fill the summer void.

While many may focus on cricket or the NBA over the next few months, a considerable number also keep an eye on the English Premier League.

If you are struggling to find a team to follow or are just unsure where to start, hopefully, this piece will help you gain an understanding of the EPL through a distinctly Australian lens.

Essendon Bombers - Arsenal

Essendon is another big club who has been through a fair bit of chaos in recent seasons, yet still has not managed to win a final or come close to contention.

Similarly, Arsenal - with the talents of Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette - have shown inconsistent flashes of brilliance which have not been enough for serious title contention.

In comparison, the likes of Jake Stringer seemed primed to break the competition apart a couple of years ago.

However, he has stagnated and head into the 2020 season battling inconsistency and injuries.

Although it must be said, the Bombers appear to be more settled heading into the 2020 season than the Gunners do at the minute with the recent sacking of their coach.

Bombers fans have shown traits of this in the past, with many calling for the head of John Worsfold early on in the season.

Essendon members will be expecting a finals victory soon, while Gunners fans have been calling for a return to the top for a long time.

Patience is running low for both of these fickle teams.

  1. Everton if not bottom of the league are close to it while the Crows usually do quite well. they also just lost the Liverpool derby by three clear goals, teh equivalent of a ten goal belting in aussie rules. When did the crows last lose to Port Adelaide by 60+ points? A silly and invalid comparison

  4. Um, literally this year in Round 16?

    Everton are not usually bottom of the league, did you only start following the PL this season? They’re usually firmly in the top half of the league but never win anything. Like how Adelaide keep making the finals but haven’t won a flag in 20 years.
