It's The Season To Be Jolly...

I wanted to do this post only tomorrow, but seeing that most of you have already done it, and I will be busy tomorrow, I decided not to put it off any longer... Yes, the time as come at last, after 3 agonizing months of 'dunno what to do on a weekend night', the brand new season of the English Premier League is about to begin!! Sure there was the Man Utd tour which helped filled in the gaps but you can't deny that life is finally worth living again now that the best season of the year is back!! So girls, either u find a team to support of leave your boyfriends alone for the next 8-9 months on weekend nights :P!!


4 times in a row?? hmmm...

Since the rest of the major European leagues (by that I mean Spanish and Italian) have yet to commence, the biggest talking point has to be 'How will United do without CR7?' and for Liverpool fans 'Will Stevie G's burden be doubled now that Xabi has gone?'. And of course for any Citeh supporter, 'Will this season of 11 6 strikers be enough to get into the top 4?'


Yes, in THAT order!!

And we United fans will want to see if Berba will finally prove that he's worth 31 million pounds and if Micheal Owen, the guy that we spend most of the 90's hating will turn up to be another one of Fergie's inspired signings. I would also want to see if there will be any surprising youngsters this season ala Macheda vs Aston Villa. Boy, I can still reply that moment in my head with the commentator screaming 'Macheddaaaaa!!!!'. Most of all, I really hope that Wayne will be able to fill in Ronaldo's boots and score his 25 goals that he has promised. Fingers crossed.


Football will be nothing without the fans

Well, there will be the usual questions as to who will finish top, top 4, relegated, almost relegated, etc. Also the new signings will always be interesting to watch. Although this season is kinda boring cos most of the new recuits have actually played in the EPL last season for another team. And will there be another Hull of last season (beginning geng but end suck) or Stoke (beginning sucked but end geng) or a Newcastle (sucked all the way:P)



1/4... Fingers crossed...

And of course for the very hardcore of us football fans, there is a small score to settle in the form of fantasy football! I for one did quite ok last year for Yahoo!'s fantasy football but sucked quite much in the one Yong made. And I can see that Yong, Jo and Mr. Yeah have already dengan bangganyerr put up their teams for the 1st week assuming thats the only fantasy they join. I on the other hand, will take things up a notch... or two... instead of 1 or 2, I decided to join 4.. yes 4 fantasy football leagues!! The other 2 are from Stadium Astro (chance to win 50,000 bucks with only less thn 20,000 ppl so far) and ESPNStar's FC Manager.


2/4...Hopefully all of em will play this week...

I figured why not just join and give it a shot? Who knows, with a little bit of luck I oso can win big wat. Well, only thing is this season round, there will be no more free points from Ronaldo so gotta pick wisely. My other 2 teams are more or less the same. And with a round of international fixtures just passed, who knows if got players injured.

Whatever it is, this weekend will be the start of a great season ending with the World Cup in the summer. I for one can't wait for football madness season to start. But I think I might be beaten to it:


Look at his shoes!!
