It's football Season Again!!

The football season is back and everybody have already warm up their favourite seat in front of the tv for the past 2 weeks watching pre-season games of their favourite team.Too bad if you're a WBA fan though no one is going to show your team's pre-season games.Man what a season this year's gonna be.There had been alot of rebuilding or restructuring[Arsenal's case] for alot of team's this year,and in some,they're just strengthening their team[Chelsea's case].

Let me comment on the major signings so far.Chelsea with Wright Phillips,is just too scary.Most of Chelsea's attacks come from the left side of the field with Robben and Duff being the major contributors.Well Joe Cole was a dangerous threat for them last season but Chelsea is more about running football if u ask me.They could pass the ball around very well but i feel they're more of a running team and with Wright Phillips running down the right flank together with Robben on the left .... SCARY .. plus .. both can score goals.Add these two with Lampard and the likely arrival of Essien[the goal scoring defensive midfielder] it's not surprising if most of their goals come from midfield.Dun forget they signed Del Horno too...

Man Utd.Well they've signed Ed Van Der Sar who is a really good keeper.But i feel their biggest problem last season was that they couldn't score goals.Nistelrooy is starting to turn into a Forlan and Scholes and Keane seems to be past their best.Smith for Keane's position?Can't comment on this yet, still too early.Maybe it's wise for Man U to go after Owen now and sign Ballack this season rather than next season.


Liverpool.Man what a shopping spree they're having.However, i'm still not so sure about all their latest signings.Reina is a good keeper.Crouch is a good striker.The Chilean winger nicknamed 'Speedy Gonzales' is said to be a good winger.Well i just feel these signings are just add ons to the current squad and won't do much of a difference.I got a feel Benitez gonna be the new 'Tinkerman' rotating his squad whenever he wants.I dont feel that is a good idea since he have a lot of new signings and these new signings would not adjust well to their new surroundings without playing frequently with the same set of players.And Benitez still wants 2 more players to add.However, Liverpool is a solid squad now itself.Gerrard and Alonso to me is the best midfield duo in the league.


Arsenal.Let's see.We've lost Vieira and Edu during the off-season.That's sad,if you choose to neglect the prospects the team have currently in the squad.I've watched Arsenal's pre-season games especially the ones in Amsterdam and i feel like we don't need any more strengthening.Aliaksander Hleb is a very good player.He is a Pires type of midfield player.He can cut defenders with ease but more importantly is his distribution.He can pass very well and he's a creative player.He had the highest number of assists in the Bundesliga last season and it showed.Another good sign is that he is willing to go back to defense.Wenger been playing Pires in the centre midfield and at times he does look lost.However in the last game against Porto he's seen rotating places with Hleb who also can play in the centre park to combine with Ashley Cole and they starting to look dangerous again.Flamini is not as good as Vieira, that's for sure.But he's a capable player and actually it is Gilberto who will take Vieira's place anyway.What Arsenal is missing last season was Gilberto and not Vieira actually.We also still have Cesc Fabregas and David Bentley.Watch out for Quincy Owuse Abeyie one of Dutch's football hottest properties right now after a superb performance n the World Youth Cup.Arsenal won't be at their best against Chelsea in the Community Shield as Gilberto,Van Persie and Fabregas is still not up to match fitness yet but we will still give Chelsea a good run for their money next weekend.

Let the Games Begin!!!!

ps/watch out for Tottenham with Edgar Davids in their side/
