English Premier league
So its kicked off for another season....
I'm looking foward to seeing Chelsea play and wonder if thier multi million dollar lineup can string some goals together. Im a big fan of Damien Duff when he is on his game. Thier new strip looks pretty cool too. |

Chelsea are damn good now, Abramovich is a brilliant owner..
However, they can't hold a candle to my beloved Arsenal, that is until the FA stops hounding Sol Campbell. Oh, and I hope Man U self-destruct, but it looks like they kept their flair from last season, and then some

Yeah, the FA are hounding Sol Campbell. Its Red Card city for him. It will shattter his confidence if they keep it up. That incident against Man U for the elbow was a joke.

Well, so far we've had The pensioners, the arseholes, nukie, and the thieves..
(For you non english its - Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool in that order ) Well for a big team thats doing shite, I'm not too sure about the upcoming season. Chelsea - Do they have too much $$? Arsenal - So close so often! Newcastle - Dark Horses, Great manager, shame about the team. PS: Will they ever let mr. boring go paint his fence? Liverpool - Gerrard is going to an early grave. My Team - Could be ok, but they are pure shite, at least we are starting the season where we left it (bottom). I'm an Aston Villa supporter btw. All shots welcome (unless your a birmingham town supporter). EDIT: oops got the order wrong first time. Fixed it now! Dbl Edit: What do you think of Rio and Terry in the central defense? (lets ignore James for the time being). They have been all over the shop tonight IMHO.

Yeah im wondering if Chelsea has too much money. None of the guys speak the same language either.
Mad_Gecko, what happened to Peter Crouch, i had high hopes for that kid? Maybe he was just too tall. Hopefully he will get some goals this season with that Dion Dublin bloke next to him.

Arsenal all the way baby, yeah!
I'm hoping that my theory about Man Utd is true: Man Utd are dominating the premier league with Alex Ferguson and Steve McClaren as Assistant manager. Steve McClaren leaves for 'Boro and Man Utd go crap all of a sudden. Man Utd sign Carlos Queiroz as assistant manager and they start winning again. Carlos Queiroz has left Man Utd for Real Madrid. Do you see where this is going? Alex Ferguson=Shit Hopefully Man Utd will start losing now!

24th Min: Sir Alex is sent off for what he said to Winter [Linesman]. Now Ferguson continues his verbal assault on Winter - clearly using some colourful language! Winter makes a note of what was said... the FA will be making a call, no doubt I thought that was funny, until the live commentry dished up this little gem: 27th Min: Shearer breaks the deadlock with a trademark bullit header. He got the better of Silvestre, who lost his footing, and powered the ball into the top corner from eight yards out. 1-0! Although, I do have 2 Man U players in my fantasy football league, infact the only reason Rio is there is so I can pick up points for clean sheets, but that's not good now... come on Ruud get a goal mate! EDIT: On the plus side, Ruud earned me 3 fantasy league points, on the minus he now pulled the game level. EDIT EDIT: Dammit, it started out so promising! Now in the 84th looks like its will be 2-1 to Man Yoo. The Gunners better thrash Middlesbrough tomorrow, otherwise I will be very bitter.

I have no hopes for that striker. He was Mr Longballs (Turnip) best hope!. I hope O'Leary leave him and Dublin in the 1st division. Oh yeah I think Vassell belongs there too. Unfortunately we didn't get Kevin! Argh! I'll be lucky to see em get 6-10 .

Let us see how Arsenal get on today against Boro? Mendiata could be a great signing for them.
Also yesterday i see Sunderland won thats maybe because Flo was leaving. Couple of friends who go to sunderland matches say he is or was total crap? Toon lost also . Oh well there is next week. Thats the North East covered right there.

Chelsea didn't realise and respect what they had in Flo.
Had he been english they would have treated him like Micheal Owen (scored more goals than Owen in the same world cup). As he was foreign he had to take what match scraps he could get. Had they developed him properly he would have been a football god. He had a deceptive stride that made him look ungainly and slow when in reality he was zooming past and putting it in the net. Unfortunately it was that false impression, that unfortunate illusion that fooled management as well as defenders. |

So if Flo were English I don't think that would have made a significant English. As Chelsea dabbled heavily in the international market they were quite use to fielding players of other nationalities.

New Era fellas. Chelsea have signed Crespo! He sybolises the type of european player youd never think would play in the Premier league. Its come a long way since the days of Peter Beardsly and his testicles (anyone got a link to that pic).

Chelsea didn't really go for youngsters but if it had possessed an English youngster who scored more goals than Owen in the same world cup they would have milked it for the attendance boost the same as Owen's club did. |

I didnt actually think chelsea needed any new strikers, hasselbaink and gudjohnsen would have done the job with the better supply from the new midfield, and carlton cole is a future england striker. he's quality striker and charlton have done well to get him on loan

Yeah i know he's argie, but he is the quintessential european style of player who would usually scorn the EPL. TV rights to the EPL at the moment are huge, im not surprised its starting to draw the players that it is.

Spain and Italy's TV rights are all messed up. In Italy last year they delayed the season two weeks, I think, becuase they did not have a TV contract ironed out. I believe they face a similar situation this year because there are one or two new satelite stations that want in on the Serie A gig. Sppain is split in it TV rights. The eight biggest clubs want to sign their own deals while the rest of the top division and all of the second want one deal that covers all teams.

i don't see why the football season is run around TV schedules, it should be the other way round!

i can see them losing that game. i think moyes has done great things with everton, and at goodison they will be a tough team to beat.
from what i've seen of liverpool this season, they should think more about escaping relegation!

Forest supporter here stuck in Div 1. The things I am going to enjoy about the premier are watching Leeds go down, wondering how long it takes Wolves to let in 100 goals, and watching Ferguson complain, whine and cry as Man Utd win nothing this season.

Only seeing flo from tv he did not seem up to the job. Mates who go to the matches are pleased he is away. Regarding Crespo he should be well suited to the premier, very good buy who knows who else will come into the premiership if they can attract that type of player. Also want to say Newcastle the other night few in the team dont deserve champions league football. Shearer really needs a top notch partner. imo.

Liverpool - Everton.
The division in class was bigger than Duncan Fergusons Right Elbow!!!!!!! A VERY satisfying result for the Reds. Nice to see Kewell get his first so early in the season. Who would have thought they could play that well with Heskey, Murphy and Riise on the bench? Hats off to Biscan, he's suddenly realised he's a footballer and not a headless chicken! Come On The Red Men!
