The 1st weekend of Premier League is in the books. Some surprises. Some boredom. Either way, it's good to be back. For the most part, it was a weekend of reminders:
- Arsenal year in year out plays the most beautiful football in the world. The are a treat to watch. No one maintains possession or passes with more precision. Tip of the cap to Arsene Wenger and Cesc Fabregas (6-1 over Everton!)
- Moneybags Man City began with a win, but the fact remains that they have a 2nd rate coach at best. He'll never handle all the ego at Ewood Park.
- Fulham began with a win for once. Portsmouth looks headed for the drop.
- Liverpool is painful to watch. One of the best strikers in the world (Fernando Torres), and they can't even get the ball to him. They've lost all their depth (who's your back-up striker? Veronin!?!). Glen Johnson looks promising.
- Rafa Benitez is not a good manager. I don't know how he breaks the colts, but it doesn't work. You can't live and die by the injury time goals. Terrible. Should've been sacked 2 years ago....
- Lucky breaks for Man U and especially Chelsea - 1-0 and an injury time winner respectively.
- Tottenham Hotspur look like Arsenal. Great moves by ol' Harry.
It's gonna be a good one. Come on Fulham! Wheel out the cannons for Arsenal, b/c they are in class form!
