Kick Off

Under Scolari, Chelsea start the season in a stylish manner by thrashing Portsmouth 4 - 0. To make things more challenging for the Red Devils, Newcastle managed to held the Champions in a 1-1 draw that sees United struggling to hit the target. The champions were left frustrated at Old Trafford, having gone 0-1 down to Obafemi' Martins' opener in the 22nd minute, the Devils need Fletcher to claim the equalizer in the 24th minute. Without the familiar attacking force, United seem to be a shadow of their last season performance. Sir Alex would be seriously looking into the transfer market now that he realize the need for potential goal scorer such as Berbatov. Besides the plea by the player to be allowed to follow his dream in United, it seems that Spurs are more interested in keeping him, or selling him to Barcelona than any United move. This might just make the start of the season worse for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Chelsea need no more convincing proof of their determination to snatch the title away from the Red Devils, at least in the first game of the season. Scolari start the season in style with Joe Cole, Anelka, Lampard and Deco all hitting the target against Portsmouth. With the change of style compared to Jose Mourinho, Scolari seems to show their team capable of good football as well as strong substance.
Meanwhile, Arsenal under Arsene Wenger might has been criticized for their lack of involvement in the transfer market did not disappoint their fans when Nasri put his name in the score sheet in the 4th minute.
The much talked about team, Tottenham failed to perform in their first game, suggesting the departure of Robbie Keane has taken away the team flare in the attacking line up. Against Middlesbrough, Tottenham only managed a consolation goal at the 90th minute to lose out by 2-1. If this were to continue, Spurs look anything but the next team to challenge the Big Four.
Liverpool meanwhile need a 83rd minute goal by Torres to save themselves from any early embarrassment against Sunderland.
Everton too disappoint their fans when they lost out to Blackburn although leading by 2-1 earlier on. The final result 2-3.
The more exciting result in fact come from Hull when they come back against Fulham to win 2-1 in their first game in the Premier League.
Indeed with such score line, one will know what to expect from the Barclay's Premier League for the rest of the season. Will the "Big Four" still dominate the English football? Or will we be seeing some revival among the other English clubs?
