De Futebol
Day one is the books for the EPL.
What have we learned?
Chelsea kicked ass in their 6-nil win over newly promoted West Brom.
So, what else is new?
Nada.
This result was entirely expected.
West Brom hung in there in the first half.
The Baggies were only down 2-0 at half before the floodgates opened in the second half.
Didier Drogba hit for the hat trick.
Mate Florent Malouda nailed the daily double.
Frank Lampard added a marker as well in this blow out city win.
Tottenham and Man City fought to a nil-nil draw.
Spurs had the best of it but Tottenham couldn’t crack the code.
This tie could cost them in the long run.
Newly promoted Blackpool pulled the upset special.
The Seasiders shut out Wigan 4-0.
Blackpool last played in the EPL 39 years ago.
1971 was the exact year.
Congrats, to the Seasiders in their first EPL win in many a moon.
Blackburn Rovers defeated Everton 1-0.
Tim Howard’s gaffe in the 14th minute gave the Rovers their needed margin of victory.
Howard came off his line. Instead of grabbing the ball, he knocked the ball to Blackburn’s Nikola Kalinic who deposited the gift into the back of the net.
Game, set, and match to the Rovers.
How much did Howard’s playing in the USA friendly against Brasil on Wednesday hurt him?
Lots!
Stop this stupid friendly crap after the World Cup is done so players can get ready for the EPL.
Give me a freakin break.
The FIFA idiots should be shot.
Bolton and Fulham tied nada-nada.
Sunderland and Birmingham tied at two all.
Aston Villa killed West Ham 3-nil.
Wolves defeated Stoke City 2-1.
The biggie today is Liverpool and Arsenal.
Go Gunners,
Kick some major butt guys.
We need the big “W”.
