Three matches into the EPL season and now we have our first international break. The action resumes September 12^th after a two week break.

On Sunday, Liverpool finally picked up a 1-0 win over West Brom.

Super striker for the Reds Fernando Torres scored the only match of the goal in the 65^th minute.

Torres is still not a 100%. He has had two major knee operations plus a pulled hammy in Spain’s World Cup final match in July.

His score showed how great this player is. Torres shifed ball the ball and fired the volley into the back of the net.

Game, set, and match to Liverpool.

This was a huge three points for the Reds.

Aston Villa defeated Everton 1-0.

In the battle of American keepers Tim Howard and Brad Friedel, Friedel had the best of it.

Tim Howard made two lights out saves but this was not enough to over come crappy defense by the Toffees.

The score of the match came in the 9^th minute.

Luke Young received a great pass from mate Ashley Young. Luke Young fired home the winner past a helpless Tim Howard.

Toffees defender Marouane Fellaini let the ball slip under his feet. Whamo, bamo turnover. Goal for Villa.

Not good Garoto.

Everton now has two losses and tie to start the season.

This could spell doom for the Toffees.

Villa on the other hand has won two out of their first three matches.

Bolton and Birmingham tied at two all.

Sunderland pulled the upset special of the day beating Manchester City 1-0.

After blowing out Liverpool, what happened?

Lose to lowly Sunderland.

Way to go Garoto.

I love it.

Sybil City is your new name.

A PK in the dying moments cost man City big time.

Choke City baby.

City’s Micah Richards decided to play American Football and tackle the Black Cats Darren Bent.

You dummy.

I love it.

We’ll talk more about this in the next few days.

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.

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.

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.

Our road woes continue.

We need to find an answer to why Arsenal struggles on the road.

The Gunners escaped with a one all tie with Liverpool at Anfield.

This BS has to stop.

Liverpool was down to ten men.

Then lightening struck when Reds David Ngog broke free just outside the box. Ngog fired a perfect top shelf bullet. This laser beat keeper Manuel Almunia in the 46^th minute.

We had the advantage but Arsenal couldn’t crack the Reds “D” code.

At several times in the second half it looked like Liverpool was playing twelve guys.

Then magic presto the match changed in an instant.

The clock was going tic, tic, tic. Time was winding on the match. A loss looked for certain. Gunners Rosicky fired a great cross into the teeth of the goalmouth. Chamakh bumps the ball towards the goal. Chamakh gets tangled with Reds keeper Reina. Reina bats the ball into the back of his own net in the 90^th minute to us the equalizer.

Thanks be to God for the Abbott and Costello routine by Pepe Reina.

This huge gaff saved our bacon on this Sunday afternoon at Anfield.

This was a totally underserved one point.

If Arsenal is going to win the title, we need to win on the road.

If not we are sunk big time.

The champs always find ways to win on the road.

Last year EPL Champions Chelsea had the best road record.

Next up for us is newly promoted Blackpool.

The Seasiders are coming off a huge win 4-0 win over Wigan.

The only saving grace is that we are home.

It was good to see both Robin Van Persie and Liverpool’s Fernando Torres return to action.

From what I saw, our guys played too much one on one and didn’t work the ball around for a good shot.

Several times Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri, and Tomas Rosicky had good scoring chances but they could close the deal.

We have to learn how to finish.

Not a good start but I’ll take the one point.

Arsenal needs to improve.

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 14^th 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”.

Today it is for real. The EPL begins play.

The headline match will be Manchester City and Tottenham. This should be a barnburner. Both sides will be loaded and gunning for bear.

Fasten your seat belts folks. Buckle yourself in and watch a wild and woolly affair.

Spurs have some really good players.

Tottenham’s main man will be Jermain Defoe.

Let’s see if Defoe can duplicate last years scoring pace.

I still think Spurs played way above their heads last year. Tottenham will finish in eighth or nine place.

City on the other hand has the head case Carlos Tevez. Tevez is a great player but he doesn’t want to play for Manchester City.

Tevez and Mancini do not get along.

Let’s see how this friction will translate on the pitch.

City will finish just out of the money.

Tottenham is playing at their house White Hart Lane.

Chelsea opens defense of their title against newly promoted West Brom.

The Blues should win hands down but all you Chelsea fans don’t get too excited.

The Blues are on the down side of forty.

The squad is old and Chelsea may win the crown.

Drogba and the rest are inching towards thirty.

This means they guys will start to break down.

Everton takes on Blackburn.

The Toffees have one of the best keepers in the world Tim Howard.

This will be a good one.

Let the games begin.
