ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHDAY 1



So, you shall see this lion logo banner more often. Why not when the English Barclay Premier League (EPL or BPL - and which ever would not be a matter at all) has begun and all we need is to endure a 10-month long football league that accumulates to about 380 football matches.


Enough said, Manchester United goes into the new season as a defending champion but may face some difficulty defending it since two jewels - Ronaldo and Tevez will not be around - there goes about 40 goals. Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are looking strong at the beginning of the season as ever, been the traditional Big Four. Manchester City is looking good as well as Tottenham and several other teams.

Fine, forget about those introduction and let us look at last week's match results.
