EPL Teams Theme Song 2014-15 season Part I


Hey guys,

Its exactly 16 days  8 hrs 56 mins and a couple of seconds to the new EPL season but who's counting anyway?

i have picked out each teams theme song but the idea isn't to pick just any random track but to find a song that (hopefully) will capture the tone of each teams season. Suffice to say that, you will find a few selections here that will never ever be played at any venue this season.

please enjoy my rich repertoire of 'classic' music and make sure you leave your comments below.



 Arsenal - Kanye West, "Good Life"


Yeezy's most deliriously happy single encapsulates how folks up at The Emirates must be feeling entering the 2014/2015 season. 
Fresh off an FA Cup title (their first trophy of any kind in 9 agonizing years), endorsements pouring in like an avalanche, with world class names like Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Özil on the team sheet and a player like Aaron Ramsey, who is high on octane at the moment, caviar should be served at halftime at the Emirates next season. 
The Gunners don’t even have to auto tune like T-pain before living Kanyes kinda life in this song.




Aston Villa – Lady Antebellum, "Need You Now"

Picture this: Villa coach Paul Lambert calls up Christian Benteke at 1:15 AM one night and slurs, "I said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control and I need you now."
Benteke, who scored 19 goals for the Villains in the 2012-13 season but sat out almost the entire 2013-14 season with an injury, could certainly have helped a Villa team with the lowest Goal Difference amongst surviving teams last season. 
Benteke, with a supporting cast of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann would do well to improve Aston Villa offensively this season.




Burnley – Take That, "Back For Good"

The last time Burnley FC won a trophy was the year Robbie Williams, lead vocalist of TT, was born.

Having spent 53 seasons in total in the top flight (the highest number amongst the promoted teams), The Clarets would be hoping it’s on a more permanent basis this time around. Sean Dyche will be counting on players like Danny Ings upfront and his on-field leader Jason Shackell to fire up the younger ones, but in a corner of his mind I’m sure he knows the top flight has changed dramatically since when last they came through these woods.




Chelsea – Jay Z, "Takeover"


Just like this track is a call-to-arms to all NY rappers who stood against Shawn Carter just before the Nas beef, so has Chelsea’s move been of late.
The Blues have pulled the BPL equivalent of ‘going all-in’.
With Cesc Fabregas, of blessed memory, Diego Costa and Filipe Luís all in tow, Jose’s squad will do damage to even the finest in Europe and will indeed be competing for the league title he promised. Just so people don’t confuse his intentions as ‘just football’, the special one has called back his evil Gregor Clegane to rein terror on twinkle toe teams who fancy finesse like Oberyn Martell. Chelsea will come down like a force of nature and most likely reclaim the crown so in case your advisors haven’t forewarned you: Please don’t throw rocks at the Special Team.






Liverpool – Young Money Entertainment, "Roger that"


The Merseyside kings might have dared to dream again last season under Brendan Rodgers but losing a player like Luis Suarez just might be too much to chew on (pun intended). The Reds look to be having their ‘Bale’ moment by splurging on quantity over quality but the rebuilding at Liverpool is justifiable and might be the start of an era reminiscent of the Shankly years.
or maybe not, just in case their dreams slip away yet again.






Manchester United – Marvin Gaye, "Mercy Mercy Me"


Things aren't what they used to be, that’s for sure.

Just over two years ago, The Red Devils won the league with points to spare even a third class student to make the Dean’s list. Fast forward 38 league games and a cockeyed manager later and United looked like a team ran over by Lewis Hamilton on the Monaco circuit. It’s unimaginable that a club as big as United would not be in Europe next season but it is what it is. 
From changes in United’s traditional 4-4-2 formation to new man Louis van Gaal’s admonition that he won’t be playing mind games with his ‘friend’ Special Ed, something which was Sir Alex’s forte (you don’t have to ask Rafa).
Can someone tell us What’s Going On at OT?




Southampton – The Script, "Break Even"


They say bad things happen for a reason; but believe me; no wise words will stop the bleeding happening at St. Marys.
The Saints have always been a nursery for the bigger teams; from Gareth Bale to Theo Walcott and A.Ox. Who knows if Jack ward-Prowse or Morgan Schnerderlin or maybe even a stud rookie will be leading this team in one or two years' time? Whatever the case, Mauricio Pochettino, Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana are gone and so is everything the Saints have been about over the past two seasons.
It's time to face the break up, Saints fans.




Stoke – Arrested Development, "Arrested Development"


Whatever happened to Bojan?

This was a kid who was supposed to be the next best thing from Spain since Matadors in a bull fight. UEFA young player of the year, La Liga Young Player of the season are some of his personal accolades and the next thing you hear is that he has signed for Stoke City. Stoke freaking City!! Really??
Stoke has come a long way since the days of a manager like Tony Pulis, out muscling anything that dares move at the Britannia; I must confess Mark Hughes has added a new dimension to that; out muscle the immobile things!
His acquisition by Stoke is sorta like watching Mike Tyson on a ice rink doing the figure skating; ugly to imagine.





Sunderland – Gym Class Heroes, "Shoot Down The Stars"

Gus Poyet was arguably the manager of the season last term; he might have struggled with teams around him, but oh what a number he did on the big boys. 
Taking points off Citeh, Chelsea and United swung the title in more ways than anyone could have imagined and this brought back Sunderland from the abyss of eternal condemnation.
He sure did turn feces into fertilizer after at the Stadium of Light.





 Queens Park Rangers – Drake, "Started From the Bottom"

Even ‘Arry Houdini could not pull a rabbit out of his top hat to save The Hoops from the calamity Sparky created in the 2012/2013 season; but with a full season in charge and him instilling some of his magic potion in the club, now they’re here!
 With the benefit of hindsight, I doubt Harry Redknapp will sign 12 new players in this window least of which will be a certain Jose Bosingwa whose resume was inversely proportional to his performances at Rangers that season. 
Like Drake said “no new ni**a”, especially those you can’t trust.
