The big Kick..Sorry Lift off..

For all the class shown on the football pitch, Arsenal showed the ultimate class act by their tribute..Thumbs up we say!

The season kicked off with a bang! Debutants had a good day. Darren Bent,Stephan Hunt,Seb Bassong,Vermaelen and Adebayor getting on the scoresheet. However it is only day 1.

The match of the week had to be Chelsea vs Hull. Hull gave a good account of themselves while chelsea showed glimpses of brilliance. Both teams fought very hard and it was an ideal way to start the season. Chelsea won it by Drogba's class while Hull's game finished when the ref awarded 6 mins of extra time. Turner turned away and Didier obliged.

Manchester United do not look very impressive come day one but Nani stepped up once again to provide an assist for Rooney's goal. Berbatov and Rooney still have issues to work out while Valencia seemed unconfident and lost. Evans was brilliant in central defence and overall with Scholes' beautiful passing a well deserved victory but not title winning quality. Birmingham had a few plus points. New signing Chuco looked good while Larrson ran his socks off and Mcfadden looked a brilliant player. barry ferguson was surprisingly rubbish while Roger Johnson will have to up his fitness

Arsenal battered Everton so badly they looked like badly moulded toffees all puns intended. Fellaini didnt look the player he was and Bentner and Fabregas did well for the Arsenal. Wenger delighted as even Denilson got a goal while Arshavin was purely unstoppable.. Eduardo getting on the scoresheet showed that without Adebayor the parnership of Eduardo,Arshavin,Bendtner and Van Persie looks,well, more scary!

Liverpool sorely missed midfield link Xabi Alonso. There was no midfield for them vs Tottenham. Lucas was horrible. Mascherano had no ability to split any defence. Higher chance of splitting an atom. The lack of creativity was shown when Benitez brought Gerrard back to centremid to try to inspire. Alas he could not. That said, missing Riera,Aquilani, and Benitez not starting Benayoun caused a bit of a problem.Benitez to be blamed. Spurs had Modric and Palaciios to thank. Both had brilliant games and if Keane had more luck the game could have been 4-0 at half time. Gomes still the weak link but the undoubted man of the match was Ledley King.

Heres a new feature. The Soccercrazee top 5 teams of the week. Every week,we will choose top 5 teams. No.1 gets 10 pts, No. 2 gets 8 etc.. till No. 5 gets two.
