Here We Go!!!

It’s the time of the year again…the time when weekend means nothing else but the English Premier League. Manchester United started their 2006/2007 EPL campaign with a 5 star performance and with consistency I think this season could be very successful for the club. Last night I saw young players like Rooney and Ronaldo playing with such maturity and it is only going to get better and better between them. The movement of the players was a sight to be hold. Simply breathtaking to watch and the football was damn bloody fluid. Each of them knows exactly what they are supposed to do and they did it according to plan. MU didn’t acquire many new players this season as they trust on the breed of players that they have developed for years. I guess this is the advantage of building and molding a team from the youth side. Players will have the time and patience to learn each others movement and positioning and with this understanding it’s going to be hard for the opponent to hold possession of the ball. MU had a fantastic pre-season and this certainly helped in boosting their confidence as reflected in last night’s game.

"cayaaangg diaa.... i love u laaa"

I don’t want to be premature in my assessment here. It’s too early to judge their overall performances. I know it was against a Fulham team who didn’t really close down their opponent and allowed MU dominantly orchestrates the game. The game was far from a litmus test and I can’t wait for the nail biting, tantalizing and super crunching game against the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. I think this is the best season opener for MU where traditionally they’d only pick up their game right before Christmas and make a home run for the title. It’s a different ball game today and to be competitive, teams must be able to start with the 5th gear right away from the start! Well MU certainly did started with the 5th gear…while Fulham still shifting from neutral to 1st gear…Sebab tu MU menang 5-1….tapi ada jugak team start dengan gear 3…gear satu pun ada…ada yang kena jump start…ada yang belum run in betul-betul..maklumlah banyak parts baru..mahal-mahal pulak tu..

Yup..it’s the time of the year again…for the next 6 months or so, many will be engrossed and suck in into either the world of reality or fantasy football or even both. Whichever team you are supporting, with the big names (or flop) signing and by the look of last week’s kick-off, it’s going to be another great ride on the EPL roller coaster. Just buckle up and hold on to your seat, with fingers crossed, by the end of the ride, you know I know very well which team will emerge as champions!!! So enjoyla the ride while you still can.. ok? muahahahahaa
