Well, this my pure optimist speaking, but after the 5-1 tongue lashing my Toffees took, there's no way to go but up on Sunday against Burnley.

Since I'm kinda new to Premier League, can someone explain to me why relegation exists? I think it's a novel idea, but surely it wouldn't work stateside.

Sure
The Uk has many smaller leagues under the Premier League .... Basically what happens to encourage new teams to do better and to make the leagues more exciting during the season the bottom 3 in each league will exchange places with the top 3 of the league from the league below it
So the Premier League bottom 3 exchanged places with the top 3 of league 1
I hope that makes sence
Now would it work stateside ...I am not sure how your sports work at the moment . I love the NFL and i know theres no chance of that system working as the league is too small and to be honest they have a system tnat works well anyway .
College Football there might be a case as you have the numbers of teams ,but the whole competition would have to change ( and i still cant get round how each college team gets into what type of bowl )

Thanks Raider. College football here is so messed up; even if you have a .500 record you're considered "bowl eligible", or eligible for postseason play. Also, we let computers mainly decide who plays for the National Championship, but I digress. I think college football relegation is an interesting idea, however, the NCAA has the divisions set up by two factors, the size of your school and the amount of scholarships/sports you offer, so you'd have to work around that in order for it to work effectively. I'm excited for Everton/Burnley, T-minus an hour and change from now

A 1-0 loss to Burnley is definitely not the result I wanted to see today. While I truly wanted a win, I would have also liked to see them make a dent in the goal differential. Obviously neither happened, and we're 0-0-2, 6 goals down. Moyes needs to do something with this midfield, and quick, as it appeared that Burnsley had little to no trouble penetrating the attack zone. Tim Howard and Louis Saha are doing what they can, but soccer is an 11 man sport, not a 2 man.

Its early days yet for Everton ,but Moyes is a good manager and he will turn things round ,i have no doubt about that . Everton have good players and i think once Lescott goes which should be in the next 48 hours to Manchester City ,i think the team will settle .

I think a relegation/promotion system would be great here in the U.S. I would relegate the bottom 2 MLS clubs to the USL 1st Division, and the top 2 USL 1st Division clubs get promoted to the MLS. It certainly would make matches more exciting and meaningful than they already are. Just like it does in the EPL and other European leagues.
Another thing I would change is the playoff system in the MLS. I would change it to match what other football leagues do: Point totals determine the champions at the end of the season. That way, a horrible but hot club can't come into the playoffs and win a championship that they don't deserve. I like how the European system rewards consistency.

We have a USL 1st Division club here in Minnesota, and I think it would be cool to see how they do when promotion's on the line; ditto for the PDL club in my hometown.

Bad errors, and from the highlights I saw (because the full match was not available here), we just looked unconnected and horrible. UGH. Like I needed this to start the season off. Hoping all our players get healthy soon and Rafa pulls it all together quickly. Not going to panic quite yet though.

Just saw an item on how UEFA is going to start to crack down on the massive amount of spending done by mostly English and Spanish clubs, even going to the point of banning them from the Champions League if they don't get out of debt. It's a great idea, but I'll believe it when I see it. What is the main way European clubs make the news over here? Spending outrageous sums of money on players, so while I totally support the motion, I don't exactly know how the Real Madrid's, Man U's, Liverpool's, and Barcelona's of the world would take to it.

It's too late. The horse has bolted, simple as that. This had to happen in the 90s worldwide popularity and television boom and it didn't.
There is no way domestic competitions and even European competitions are going to remain competitive. The English, Scottish, Spanish and pretty much Italian leagues are dead competitions with repetitive winners. The big teams are way too powerful within the game and would respond to any of the sactions mentioned above by clearing off and setting up their own competition.
I'm out of soccer and I'm not going back.
I've got a dirty thumb.

So, Rhetoric, would you support a salary cap system being used in the major European football leagues like it is in the MLS (not counting the designated player thing)?
