We are in week 2 of the BPL(notice that they dont call it the EPL anymore,its now Barclays Premier League) and already there is a big game. Last night featured two mouth watering prospects…ManCity v ManUtd and Liverpool v Chelsea. I watched both games last nite and i must say..Man Utd looks like a real poor side without Rooney and Ronaldo in the team.They were good moving foward but as soon as they reached Man city’s penalty box, they were sad!! Anyway…im sure Sven and Frank(That’s what the City fans call Thaksin, as in Frank Sinatra ) enjoyed the win, my take on it…City better enjoy what they been getting so far, i think its a matter of time before they are brought back to ground level .

The game i was really waiting for was Liverpool v Chelsea. Both teams came out with strong teams and i was glad to see John Terry back in the squad(you dont wanna beat a undestrength Chelsea, you’ll never hear the end of it..trust me,i know) Liverpool came out blazing at Chelsea..Torres marked his anfield debut with a superb finish from a real akward angle..Pure Class…He has already marked his home debut with a goal! i would say…its a sneak preview to great things to come!!

The whole team played well together particularly the Torres-Kuyt partnership was awesome..they both looked like they have been playing together for years!!

Then came the controversial moment..Malouda jumped into Agger without possesion with the ball and the ref (Rob Styles) gave away a penalty! I felt it was a pure rip off!

Anyway…i suppose its a game and anything can happen in a game! Rob Styles was poor,have a look at his record this season

he’s been involveed in 2 games and showed 11 yellow cards!! I think that is crazy! Have a look at his face, the next time you see him referring a game, there are gonna be lotsa cards! It was frustrating but i its a great start for Liverpool and im enjoying what i see so far ..a great all round performance!
