Awesome! I always wonderd what my neighbors were doing behind that hedge...

Call it Chopin-O-Vision. Related question: if Ted Turner can add color where it never existed, can he do the same thing with story? I can think of a few Adam Sandler films that would benefit.

The information for Parallax comes from Freebase, which is downstream of Wikipedia. The Stoke City wikipedia page knows about the Premier League status, as you would expect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoke_City_F.C.), but the Freebase article doesn't have the necessary arena/stadium metadata in place yet (http://www.freebase.com/view/en/stoke_city_fc). Manchester United, on the other hand, has the right metadata: {arena/stadium = Old Trafford} (http://www.freebase.com/view/en/manchester_united_fc). Good point.

This is their first season back in the Premier League in quite a while so you were probably just looking at least year's Premier League list.
