EPL

After a month's starvation of footie, it is now coming back. The English Premier Leagues starts today. Not a very nice way to open ceremony this time, as it clashes with the Beijing Olympics, still being the hardcore footie fan, it is time to once again salvage the dose of football for another year.














Season expectations and previews had already sprout since the past few weeks. So is pointless to repeat them over again. But in brief, it is as usual, the Big Four vying for the championship with the two front runner, Man U and Chelsea, as favourites. Then there are the teams killing off each other to get into the lucrative European Champions League spots. And then, the mid-table runners and of course, the relegation strugglers.

Being a die hard Liverpool fan, it is once again fill with hope that the team can win trophies this time around, with the 18-year wait EPL title as priority. With new signings, particularly Robbie Keane, and Euro Cup winner Fernando Torres in the squad, there is no way not to be optimistic that we can cash in more goals and winning the trophies offered.
















Keane and Torres, the perfect striking duo?

Olympics Notes:






















Is proud that Lee Chong Wei went into the finals for badminton. Malaysia is starved of gold and for once, I saw Malaysians of different backgrounds supporting him in the semis. A rare scene, considering that most of our athletes, particularly football, do not have the initiative to raise even the slightest hope of winning something. Just look at Chelsea vs Malaysia. Lets say you are a Chelsea fan, which jersey would you prefer to wear to watch the match, eh?

Anyway, go Chong Wei! We Malaysians will be backing you.
