Wednesday ToffeeLinks: Transfers For Everyone

Happy Hump Day everyone. The important thing is that we are 72 hours away from another football match. This time it will be Roberto Martinez's home opener, always a special occasion. Hopefully we can replicate last year's season where I think we only lost 2 games at home, I can't quite remember. All I remember is that home games normally mean happy drunks, not sad ones.

Membership Has Its Privileges - NBC Sports

Joe Posnanski has been writing more and more about the EPL for NBC Sports, and this gem is the classic how and why of picking a side. Thankfully it doesn't go with the hipster approach of picking Spurs because they are good but not that good.
