Having taken a break for 2 or so months the greatest drama series on earth is back. The English Premier League started off last weekend with some pomp as newcomers were shown a baptism of fire, West Brom being beaten 2-1 by Man U, QPR thrashed 4-0 by Bolton (lucky devils) and so was Swansea by Man City. They definitely received a warm welcome from being promoted from the championship.
Debutants making headlines were the likes of Gervinho (Arsenal) being red carded, Sergio Aguero ( Man City) scoring a brace and giving an assist and Chelsea Manager Villas Boas starting off with a nil - nil draw against an impressive Stoke City. Being a Man U fan I cant help but be biased and complement new signing Ashley Young, academy products Tom Cleverly and Danny Welbeck for making impressive starts in this years campaign and we hope to see more of them, as for Degea, he just needs EPL experience to build his confidence. Man U man to watch out for this season, Anderson#8 and Ashley Young#18 As he weeks progress we are bound to see more exciting matches and emphatic score-lines.
The weekend also saw the end of the longest,grueling and ultimately cat and mouse transfer sagas in football history. Cesc Fabregas joined his boy hood club,FC Barcelona, for 30 million Euros plus some other clauses in a 5 year deal. Phew!! Really glad it's all over as it was becoming a big bore every season since it was a matter of when and not if.
Back home in the Kenya premier League, Gor Mahia FC recorded an unfair draw with robbed team Sher Karuturi who have every right to be aggrieved as the added time was extended from 6 minutes to 9. Gor's equalizer was however a true beauty of a goal in a game which they were headed for a direct loss. It will be interesting to see how K'ogalo handle their next games and if the referees assistance will be in force.
