We’re two weeks into the season. There are a few surprises but other than that nothing much.

Chelsea has kicked ass. The Blues destroyed two really inferior sides Wigan and West Brom.

Manchester United took it Newcastle but stumbled against Fulham.

The Cottagers have a history of driving Sir Alex nuts.

Arsenal played great at home and pulled a rabbit of the Gunners hat in a miracle one all tie with Liverpool at Anfield.

My Gunners have played well so far.

Both Robin Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas are nursing injures.

Theo Walcott has stepped up big time.

Capello decided to kick Walcott off the national team.

This was a huge mistake.

Capello needs to go.

Liverpool eked a tie against my Gunners but stunk the joint out against Man City.

Liverpool is on the way down.

Sure, the Reds are missing Fernando Torres but Liverpool has plenty of other good players such as Dirk Kuyt, David Ngog, and Joe Cole.

Liverpool is near the butt end of the table.

The Reds are in 17^th place with one point.

Man U killed the Magpies but Newcastle turned the tables on Aston Villa. Newcastle destroyed Villa 3-0.

Blackpool picked up their first win in the EPL in 39 years but came crashing down to earth when my guys from Arsenal rang up six goals.

Wigan is headed down.

Blackpool will probably go too.

Don’t be surprised if Liverpool hovers in the bottom half of the table.

These are my thoughts after two matches but remember this can change in an instant.

Man City kicked ass and took some names in a 3-0 thrashing of Liverpool.

City took care of business at their house.

Tevez hit the daily double.

The head case Tevez looks like he has buried the hatchet with City manager Roberto Mancini.

I mean Liverpool let victory slip out of their hands in their season opener at Anfield against my guys from Arsenal. However, this sucker wasn’t even close.

City was in control from the outset.

This 3-0 win was the largest win over the Reds since 1937.

James Milner was the key in the match.

He set up City’s first goal.

Milner feed Gareth Barry.

Barry ripped the twines in the 13^th minute.

It all went downhill from there for Liverpool.

City looked like crap in their opener against Tottenham.

Now Man City looked like world-beaters.

Liverpool may struggle big time this year.

So far, a great start to the season.

I can’t wait to see how this season will shake down.

I still think Chelsea is on the downhill side of forty.

The Blues may win the title but this will be their last hurrah.

More skinny on the EPL on the flip side.

You gotta love it.

Flamengo couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with a machine gun or a howitzer. This was down right worse than bad.

Mengao lost to Atletico-PR 1-0.

Sure, we hung in there for most of the match,

Yes, Rubro-Negro had some great scoring opportunities but nothing resulted.

This is pure bupkis.

A late stupid defensive error allowed Atletico-PR to score in the 82^nd minute.

Paulo Baier floated a corner kick into the box.

Keeper Lomba and defender Leo Moura let Furacao attacker Manoel head home the match winner.

Flamengo keeper Marcelo Lomba looked like a windmill as he tried to stop the perfectly placed header that was squeezed between Lomba and the left post.

Mengao hasn’t won in Coritiba in 36 years.

You can stick a fork in Mengao’s chances of winning the Campeonato.

Hey Patricia baby sign a real striker.

Rubro-Negro’s offense is down right offensive.

It sucks big time baby.

UOL put it this way- Atlético-PR e Flamengo fizeram um jogo movimentado, neste domingo, na Arena da Baixada e, mais uma vez, o rubro-negro paranaense levou vantagem sobre o time carioca. Com um gol do zagueiro Manoel, no fim do segundo tempo, venceu por 1 a 0 e sustentou um tabu de 36 anos, nos quais não perde para o Fla, em Curitiba. Foi a 11ª partida entre os dois times na Arena da Baixada e nona vitória atleticana.

With the win, Atletico moved up the table and out of the danger zone. Furacao now has 17 points.

Globo Esporte-O Furacão, que passou a noite no Z4, respira. O time chegou aos 17 pontos e fica na 13ª posição, pelo menos até o fim dos jogos das 18h30m. O destaque da partida foi o ligeiro Maikon Leite.

Flamengo has now dropped out of the top four. Rubro-Negro is now in ninth place with 20 points.

O time carioca, por sua vez, também confirmou as conclusões da sua fraqueza ofensiva e precisa mais do que nunca da estreia da dupla Deivid e Diogo para voltar a ter um ataque repeitável. Nos oito jogos pós-Copa, a equipe fez quatro gols, dois deles de pênalti. Diante de números tão ruins, a equipe manteve os 20 pontos, caiu para o nono lugar e distanciou-se do G-4.

We are now in deep do-do.

I am not a happy Flamenguista.

Flamenguista for life.

Fulham bit Manchester United twice in the butt to comeback for a two all draw.

This is not good for the mighty boys of Old Trafford.

Man U’s road woes still continue.

Three points were a must but a draw is better than a loss.

Scholes scored the first goal of the match in the 11^th minute.

Paul Scholes fired a deadly strike from 30 yards out.

Berbatov set it with a great pass.

Fulham found the equalizer in the 57^th minute.

Fulham pressed the attack.

The Cottagers Duff made a mad rush up the right sideline. He got past Man U defender Evra. Duff laid the ball off for mate Bobby Zamora. Zamora fed Davies.

Davies beat the naked keeper Van der Sar.

Man U scored the go ahead goal in the 84^th minute.

Ryan Giggs fired a wicked shot into the goalmouth. Fulham’s Brede Hangeland deflected the ball into his own net.

2-1 Man U.

The match changer happened in the 86^th minute.

Man U was given a PK.

Nani fired the shot right at keeper David Stockdale.

Block. Save.

This miss cost the mighty boys from Old Trafford the match.

The Cottagers nailed the equalizer three minutes later in the 89^th minute.

Hangeland headed home a brilliantly placed corner kick by mate Duff.

This killed Man U.

Stupid mistakes killed the Red Devils.

Bad defending was the key.

The two goals were the result of poor marking and no help side defense.

This tie may have cost the Man U a shot at the title.

Road wins not ties are the key.

This is a stumble however this is not fatal.

Newcastle killed Aston Villa 6-0.

This was one of those classic blowouts. Arsenal flat out took it to Blackpool 6-0. Theo Walcott pulled a hat trick out of his hat.

Finally, Walcott lights up the twines.

Diaby, Arshavin, Marouane Chamakh each added their names to the score sheet.

About time guys.

Emirates is very good to us Gunners.

This was a kick ass win.

You gotta love it.

I sure do.

Blackpool came crashing down to earth after the Seasiders huge win over Wigan last Saturday.

Blackpool will probably get sent packing at the end of the season.

Arsene Wenger decided to rest super stars Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie.

Smart move on Wenger’s part.

The young guns are coming along quite nicely thank you.

Spurs are finding life hard at the top of the table.

Tottenham pulled out a 2-1 win over Stoke City.

Gareth Bale hit for the daily double.

Bolton chewed up West Ham 3-1.

West Brom stopped Sunderland 1-0.

Everton and Wolverhampton tied one all.

The Toffees are stumbling out of the gate.

Everton has one draw and one loss.

This is not good.

Chelsea kicked some major butt in a blow city 6-0 shut out of win over helpless and hapless Wigan.

Nicholas Anelka and Salomon Kalou each hit for the daily double.

The Blues looked good in their first two matches against inferior sides. Lets see what happens when Chelsea gets into the meat of their schedule.

The Blues may win the whole enchilada this year but they are on the downhill side of forty.

It is week two in the EPL. Chelsea looked good in their first week stomp over newly promoted West Brom.

The Blues looked good but please remember they are on the downhill slide of forty. This means Drogba, and the rest are inching closer to thirty. This means the good ole bod begins to break down more.

The Blues have a hot date with Wigan on Saturday.

This should be a good one.

Wigan is at home.

Manchester United battles Fulham at Craven Cottage.

This will be a good one. The Cottagers have a habit of sticking it to the Red Devils.

My guys from Arsenal have a huge one against newly promoted Blackpool.

The Seasiders upset Wigan 4-0 last weekend.

This was their first win in the EPL since 1971.

Will this happen at Emirates?

No way Jose, the Gunners will kick some major butt.

We are on a mission to win the EPL.

At home, Arsenal is almost unbeatable.

Next.

The biggie happens on Monday when City battles Liverpool at the City of Manchester Stadium.

This will be a classic head knocker, gangbanger affair.

Katie bar the door on this sucker for it will be a battle royal.

Both sides need to pick up the “W”.

Two weeks in and some real nutcrackers.

I love it.

This is what makes the EPL so much fun.

On a side note, bring back Steven Cohen and Nick Geber on FOX.

Ever since these cats who created Fox Football Fone left or were forced to leave, the idiots at the FOX Soccer channel have taken a perfectly good show and killed it.

What made Nick and Steven so much fun to watch was they were Englishmen first of all and second they knew EPL futebol from both the fans perspective and the professional perspective as well.

Nick Webster and the former ESPN clown Eric Wynalda killed it.

Who gives a crap about the MLS and what the players think.

This show was built for the fans of futebol like me.

Thanks Nick, Eric, and the idiots at FOX Soccer Channel for killing a great show.

Internacional took care of business at Porto Alegre. Colorado took it to Chivas 3-2 to win the Copa Libertadores.

Chivas scored the first goal of the match in the 42^nd minute. Fabian ripped the twines for a 1-0 Guadalajara lead.

The opening marker by Fabian sent shock waves through the fans at Porto Alegre.

Globo Esporte put it this way- Não podia ser verdade. Quando Fabián subiu dentro da área colorada e emendou um voleio, simplesmente não podia ser verdade. Simplesmente não podia ser verdade aquela bola entrando no canto direito de Renan. Não podia ser verdade aquela rede balançando enquanto os jogadores do Chivas corriam de um lado para o outro, eufóricos, incrédulos. Aos 42 minutos do primeiro tempo, o time mexicano largou na frente. A zaga bobeou, permitiu o cruzamento, permitiu a conclusão perfeita de Fabián. Não podia ser verdade. E era a mais pura e dolorida verdade.

Internacional was unfazed by this and went on a run scoring the next three goals in succession to put this baby out of reach.

Rafael Sobis goal in the 61^stminute righted the ship for Internacional.

Leandro Damiao scored the goal ahead goal in the 75^th minute.

Giuliano scored the match winner in the 89^th minute.

Game, set, and match to Internacional.

Globo Esporte had this to say- Tem sujeito que nasceu para transcender o conceito de jogador de futebol. Tem sujeito que nasceu para ser mais do que um cara bom de bola. Tem sujeito que nasceu para fazer dois gols no Morumbi e ser herói. Que nasceu para, quatro anos depois, marcar no Beira-Rio e ser mais herói ainda. Rafael Sobis, colorado de coração, apaixonado pelo clube, é um mito para o Inter. Foi dele, aos 16 minutos do segundo tempo, o gol que abriu o título colorado.

Chivas added a cosmetic goal in the final moments to make it a respectable 3-2 final score.

Internacional has already advanced to the FIFA World Cup Finals due to the fact the Guadalajara is a member of CONCAF and therefore can’t win the South American Copa Libertadores title.

This is the second Copa title for Brasilian side Internacional.

Colorado won the title in 2006 when Internacional beat archrival Sao Paulo 4-3.

Colorado made it to the Copa Libertadores finals in 1980 but they lost to Uruguayan side Nacional 1-0.

Kudos to Internacional for winning the Copa Libertadores.

Harry Redknapp and the boys from Tottenham are finding out how hard it is to play the EPL and Champions simultaneously.

Welcome to life at the top of the EPL table.

Man U, Chelsea, and my Gunners are used to this grind.

This is why Spurs played above their heads last year.

This year Tottenham came crashing down to earth.

Spurs lost to Young Boys 3-2 in the Champions league playoff round.

Tottenham started out like crap. Before Spurs knew it, they fell behind 3-0 before rallying to make the final score a respectable 3-2.

Spurs picked those all-important two away goals.

The second leg will be played next Wednesday at White Hart Lane.

Spurs need to win this sucker. If not Tottenham will not make it to the group stage of the Champions League.

Goals by Sebastien Bassong and Roman Pavlyuchenko gave Spurs a fighting chance to advance to the next round.

Win baby win. This is what it is.

Welcome to the big leagues Harry.

In the Campeonato Flu is top dog with 32 points.

Corinthians is in second place with 28 points.

Timao lost to Avai 3-2.

This loss cost Corinthians big time.

Avai stayed put in third place with 22 points.

Flamengo moved up to seventh place by virtue of the 1-0 win over Ceara.

Botafogo is in fourth place with 21 points.

Sao Paulo is in deep do-do. Tricolor is buried in 13^th place with 17 points.

Sao Paulo pulled out a huge two all draw with Cruzeiro.

Vasco is in 9^th place with 20 points.

We’ll talk more EPL and Campeonato tomorrow.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Manchester United kicked Newcastle’s backside 3-0.

The Red Devils showed that they are fit and ready to win the EPL crown.

Finally, a waste of striker Dimitar Berbatov did something this year that he didn’t do last year find the back of the net.

Berbatov scored the first goal in 33^rd minute.

He drilled a wicked shot.

Berbatov’s shot was one of this hard angled into the far left corner of the net.

Good show Berbatov.

Now keep it up dude.

Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs each made it to the scorebook.

Man U looked really impressive in the win over newly promoted Magpies.

The only downer was The Rooney Man did trickle the twines.

Rooney’s goal less streak has now reached 13 matches.

I still think Rooney is one tired puppy due to all the matches he has played the last two years.

Rooney is broke down and needs rest.

Rested Rooney will become a dynamic scorer again.

This a good start for the mighty men from Old Trafford.

Up next is a hot date with Fulham Sunday August 22^nd.

Flamengo stopped their three match winless streak with a lucky 1-0 win over Ceara.

Mengao’s offense was non-existent in the win.

Globo Esporte-Num dia de estreias apagadas e atuação fraca do time, a torcida do Flamengo pôde comemorar pelo menos o fim do jejum de quatro jogos sem vitória e de três sem balançar as redes. Num gol de pênalti marcado por Petkovic no fim do primeiro tempo, o Rubro-Negro derrotou o Ceará por 1 a 0, neste sábado, no Maracanã. A equipe com defesa menos vazada do Brasileirão foi superior na maior parte do primeiro tempo e no fim da segunda etapa, mas saiu com outro resultado negativo e já acumula sete partidas sem vencer.

 The only saving grace was a PK awarded when Rubro-Negro’s Williams made a mad rush into the box. This push forced Anderson to foul Williams in the 44^th minute.

Petkovic nailed the PK for the only tally of the match.

Game, set, and match to Flamengo.

We picked up a much-needed win but if we don’t find a way to rip the twines, more often Flamengo is in deep do-do.

Marcelo Lomba played well in goal.

He made three key stops in the match.

Newly signed Leandro Amaral and Renato Abreu played like crap. This was another one of those horrible signings by chief idiot Patricia Amorim. This lady needs to be fired.

Globo Esporte wrote this-A grande expectativa era pelas estreias de Leandro Amaral e Renato Abreu. O primeiro teve atuação muito fraca, com pouca movimentação e receio de fazer as jogadas – não atuava há mais de um ano, desde julho de 2009. O meia, que veio do futebol árabe, mostrou estar sem ritmo de jogo, mas ao menos repetiu a boa pontaria dos velhos tempos em bela cobrança de falta, no segundo tempo

She sucks big time.

Get a real futebol Prez not a fake one.

The points were important.

Mengao has moved up the table.

Flamengo now has 20 points.

Na 15ª rodada, o Flamengo, que com a vitória pulou para 20 pontos ganhos e está, provisoriamente, na sétima posição, irá à Arena da Baixada encarar o Atlético-PR, no próximo domingo. O Ceará, que por enquanto caiu para o quarto lugar, estacionado nos 21, receberá no Castelão, no próximo sábado, o Grêmio.

But we need to sign a real striker not guys from the geriatric ward.

Flamenguista for life.
