Hi guys and gals,
Thanks again for stopping by ma peepz. I have some news in regards to updating my blog. Whether its 1 reader or a thousand readers, this news is for everyone. Due to the fact that I have now been given a big responsibility which I am honored to receive from ICF, I don't think I will be able to update my blog as often as I possibly can and seeing as how next semester will be a short semester, it will make it even harder. I will try to update the blog once a week but even that may seem impossible from what I can see my schedule to turn out eventually but all I can promise for now is that I'll do my best. I'll be pretty busy with updating the ICF blog, sending emails and helping with publicity. But before the new sem starts i'll try and put up one or two more blog posts. Peace out.

The Season's Back Again
Hi guys & gals,
I humbly thank you for coming back for more blogging action to Elvin's Arena, whether its 1 reader or 1000 readers, we're doing it big, uh huh, that's right. Straight down to it.
Welcome to the Barclays Premier League review with me Nomad. I'm a little behind actually but i'll be covering most of the action that has happened thus far. The Premier League is already well underway with quite a few teams having already played twice within a span of a week. As usual i'll be mainly focus on the Big 4 which are Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United but rumors are spreading around in the media that the Big 4 of the Premier League could soon become the Top 6 including the likes of a financially unshakable Manchester City and a very resilient Aston Villa. My hunch is that it could become a Top 7 including the like of Tottenham Hotspur because with Harry Redknapp in the driving seat at the beginning of the season, spurs could be well on their way to be trying to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Now it's time to head to the matches. Starting of with Liverpool in their match against Tottenham. The Reds travelled to White Hart Lane in expectation of getting 3 points from Tottenham but they would have to fight a tough battle against a newly revived Tottenham side who aren't about to go down without a fight. Liverpool didn't look to be in the game all that much, I have to give them credit for trying but it seemed as if the summer break took its toll on the players as the first team really weren't on form against Spurs. . I agree Tottenham has not played all during the Summer but most of Liverpool's first team wasn't used for quite a number of the pre-season matches meaning that Rafael Benitez choose to put his juniors to the test on quite a few occasions. This explains the dip in form and the bad start. Chelsea on the other hand grabbed all 3 points with a 2-1 win over Hull City at Stamford Bridge. Didier Drogba won it for Chelsea by scoring both goals after Hull drew first blood. Next is Arsenal absolute destruction of Everton scoring 6 goals to Everton's 1 consolation goal. It was absolutely gobsmacking that Everton could lose so badly especially after all the progress David Moyes made last season but credit to Arsene Wenger, he's creating a team of youngsters who can win and play the game beautifully. Finally it's Manchester United's game against Birmingham City at Old Trafford with the Red Devils scraping through with a 1-0 victory.
Now midweek action was different and I was happy this time because Liverpool had clearly put the defeat behind them and were focused on winning. They met Stoke City at Anfield and this is a team that Liverpool drew twice with last season. However this season, it wasn't to be as Liverpool won with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Stoke with Fernando Torres scoring in the 4th minute, Glen Johnson scoring the in 45th minute, Dirk Kuyt scoring in the 78th minute and David Ngog scoring in the 93rd minute. Chelsea came from behind yet again to win against Sunderland in a more comfortable 3-1 victory at the Stadium of Light. Manchester United however endured their first loss against Burnley losing 1-0 away from home at Turf Moor. Now you're all probably scratching your head when I mentioned that name because it isn't one I mention often haha. . Turf Moor is Burnley's home stadium. Arsenal didn't play in midweek as they had a Champions League qualifier against Celtic and won 1-0.
That's pretty much the main football action that's been going on so far. Liverpool didn't get the perfect start to the season like last season but they did bounce back quickly and reassuringly. Now they're in 4th place after only their 2nd game and hopefully they will win and move up the table this week as Liverpool take on Aston Villa at Anfield.
