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.

Gold Coast Suns - Watford

While there is a fair bit more history in the English soccer club as opposed to its Australian comparison, both have experienced a fair bit of turmoil over recent years.

Watford has been quick to sack managers and have typically have had a high rate of turnover in the transfer windows.

On the other hand, the Gold Coast have had some cocaine scandals, poor performances and a couple of new coaches in their short history.

Unfortunately for Watford, they will not be receiving a package of compensation picks anytime soon.

  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

  3. 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.
