Warren's EPL Round One View
The start of the Premier league season is always full of anticipation. The hopes and dreams of supporters can be reached or shattered on the very first day - just ask the fans of Blackpool and Wigan.
As far as the top end is concerned Chelsea do what they always do against the also rans, and despite their ordinary preseason form they showed with their 6-0 humbling of West Brom they will again be the ones to beat.
The clash of the wannabe’s - Man City and Tottenham, was a clash the home team should have won. Irrespective of the 0-0 result Man City with all their riches, should be stronger as the season goes on.
In the clash of two of the traditional 'Big 4' teams, Liverpool lead to the 90th minute, and despite 10 men showed that under Roy will be a harder team to beat.
If they have a season where injuries are kind to them they will be competitive, and despite what Carlos may say this will be great for the competition.
As for Arsenal they again showed that for all their pretty football they are still a team of little boys who will dazzle at times but will not be up for the fight over the 38 games of the Premier League season.
As a Liverpool fan I walk away from round one with renewed hope but with two visits to Manchester in the first month, like Wigan fans my dreams may last only a couple more weeks.
Now what will Man U do as they play Newcastle a team that I reckon is great to have back in the big time? Time will tell.
