EPL Wrap Up: Week 1




My English Premier League team for BPL first week is Hull City. They create a surprise when defeated Fulham 2-1 on Saturday match. The dangerman for the Tiger is Geovanni (ex-Man City and Barcelona). I really hope they can do the Reading for this season. Speaking about this fella, I bought Geovanni for my Janggi FC team in Fantasy League for only 5.5 points and it's a bargain deal with Geovanni scoring 10 points for this week. I will maintain him for another week
with an away match against Rovers this weekend.

Other EPL results for Week 1 as follows:

Arsenal 1 - 0 West Brom
Bolton 3 - 1 Stoke City
Everton 2 - 3 Blackburn
Hull City 2 - 1 Fulham
Middlesbrough 2 - 1 Tottenham
West Ham 2 - 1 Wigan
Sunderland 0 - 1 Liverpool
Chelsea 4 - 0 Portsmouth
Aston Villa 4 - 2 Man City
Man Utd 1 - 1 Newcastle

Chelsea look strong and attractive under Big Phil. I am sure Chelsea will be a real title contender this season and looking to dethroned Man U along the way. Another big scoring match was Aston Villa 4 - 2 Man City where Gabriel Agbonlahor scored hattrick (both feet and a header). Elsewhere, Johan Elmander and Samir Nasri scored in their debut for Bolton and Arsenal respectively.










For the first time, Newcastle back line look so descent with Coloccini in charged. Although his hairstyle remind me of Michael Bolton, but former Milan and Depor player look comfortable with his new team-mate. Newcastle fight fiercely to hold Man U and they deserved a win I could say. Man U was pathetic with their reserved full of unknown school boys as Sir Alex trying to emulate Arsene Wenger'a formula at Arsenal. Rumours saying that Man U trying to buy Usain Bolt to pace up their striking force.

I was eager to watch new Spurs with excellent line-up such us Luka Modric, Giovanni dos Santos, David Bentley and Gomes but Juande Ramos team was defeated 1-2 in the opening match against Boro. Hope they can do better in the week 2 againts Sunderland's Black Cat.
