I am a Liverpool fan since the days of Ian Rush but the only EPL game I have ever been is Chelsea - Spurs game in Stamford Bridge in 1997! Anyway, I hope the EPL will help us to remember a few things about human geog
Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Manchester etc are old industrial city suffering under the impact of deindustralisation. These are also cities facing the greates urban depopulation as people mover out to get jobs.
London, which host clubs like Arsenal, Crystal Palace etc is reaping from the benefits of a post industrial economy. Because it is service base at the first place, impact of deindustrailisation is not significant.
Chelsea was originally a village at the urban-rural finge of London. It has since be absorb into London metrolpolitan as a result of urban sprawl. It is a rich community with mainl high status housing! Remember Burgees' model the high status housing is found at the outer ring of a EMDC city!
As you can see, EPL is a great way to learn geography!
