If you ask football lovers what football league is the best in the world; majority will say it's the English Premier League (EPL). To tell you the truth, I love the premiership, when the last season was over, I couldn't wait for another season to start, this is how addicted I have become; always looking forward to the next season each time the season comes to an end.
What I enjoy most about watching the EPL is seeing the African stars do what they know how to do best. I feel so proud to be African.
For a while now, the top four hasn't changed, we always know Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool will always make the top four. But I really want to see that change this season, I want to see Clubs like Newcastle, Everton, Spurs, compete for that position. Lets watch some drama this season. Guess a lot of Gunners were shocked watching Fulham take the whole 3 points last weekend, I wasn't though, cos I want to see a lot of competition this season. I can say the only surprise I got from last weekend's game was watching Stoke City beat Aston Villa, that's what I'm talking about. For those who don't know, Stoke just got promoted to the Premier League this season. I want to see the newly promoted clubs shock the big ones, but the problem is; later in the season, most of them just fade away.
Guess who is back to the EPL? Djibril Cissé, oh yes he's back! He made his mark by giving his side Sunderland a winner against Spurs, he came in as a substitute in that game! Sunderland is another team to watch out for this season, we have few Africans there, Nigerian Dickson Etuhu and Senegalese El-Hadji Diouf.
After two games in the EPL, Chelsea is back at the top of the table with six points, for how long do you think they will remain there? Maybe till the end of the season. I hear some of the Red Devils screaming, for what? and the Gunners taking out their guns! I'm so excited the Premiership is back, so many things to talk about.
I'm looking forward to seeing an African player be the highest goal scorer in the EPL this season. So far our Yakubu Aiyegbeni has scored two goals in two games, the guy is on fire, I pray he continues like that. Not forgetting his compatriot Obafemi Martins, he scored in the first game. Don't you guys think it is great that some of our players already registered their names in the scoring sheet! Another new comer in the EPL that has made his mark is Portugal midfielder and Chelsea's newly signed Deco, he scored two goals in two games, sure a great way to start.
Guess you all will agree there is a lot to talk about when it comes to EPL. I can't give you all the news in one article, but I will keep you updated.
Lets get down to business, The Verdict....
What do you guys think about the transfer market this season? Who invested wisely and who was foolish to let some good players go? What players would you have wanted some clubs to buy or loan? What player do you think will be the worst or best buy this season? I know the season has just begun, but we do foresee these things, don't we? Who will make the top four this season? Who is going down? What club do you want to see improve?
Give your Verdict! I give you all the chance to give your verdict before mine!
See you later!
