Midweek games

Portsmouth again look to be a thorn in ManU's side after holding them to a 1-1 draw; this despite losing Sol Campbell and Lauren to injury during warm up. Seemed to be a rather heated game with both sides ending the game with 10 men. Chelsea look to be entering a vein of form winning 2-1 at home to Reading - apparently Mourinho 'now understands' why Manchester United had such a hard time with Reading.
Tottenham have their work cut out for them in their bid to break into the top 4 after losing 1-3 at home to Everton. Apparently Martin Jol has been summoned to explain what's happening. Man City and Newcastle might be teams to watch out for. It's early in the season though.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and Liverpool won away against Sparta Prague and Toulouse respectively. Arsenal had a bit of a tough and physical battle but came away 2-0 winners (which would really boost their confidence), and Liverpool won 1-0 thanks to one of their less prominent summer signings.


I'm looking forward to this weekend's games (.. GTV installed :) ). More on these later.

Continued: New English Premier League

Arsenal managed to save some blushes after Lehman made a potentially costly mistake. Lehman is a mzee.. Wenger says that he was the happiest man in the dressing room at the end of the game. I didn't get to watch this game though.

Chelsea were made to work for their opening win. If it wasn't for some suspect goal keeping, especially for the winning goal, things might have been different.

Man U are now playing. I am following the game online. 0-0 at half time.

I think I'm getting me some GTV :). I opted to delay subscribing to see what would be shown on NTV and DSTV.

New English Premier League

I'm told its called the Premier League now, not Premiership (like what's the difference)?

This season looks quite close to call, though Manchester United and Chelsea would be most people's initial bet. Liverpool wiht their lavish spending would be interesting though from the first 20 minutes of their game against Aston Villa, they may need some time to gel. Arsenal are an unknown force - will wait to see how they play against Fulham. I suspect AW is waiting to see how his young team cope in the first few games to make a decision on whether or not to bring in new faces. Man City have done abit of shopping, as have Tottenham and Aston Villa. Tottenham though lost game 1 of the season against Keane's Sunderland.

Back to 'How to watch the games'. I'm watching the Liverpool on NTV, but I think I may have to get me some GTV @ KES 2750. I don't watch too much movies, media so DSTV's 50+ channels don't appeal to me. I just need MPIRA :)

Update: Liverpool Won. Really. When you need something done, there's few people who can be relied on. Questionable free kick in the first place, but the free kick that Beckam would have been proud of. Babel looks very promising for them.
