Opening day

You could see the fan in the backgroung screaming "thank God we did not sell Drogba" and such was the story of the opening match of the new season. Chelsea had to fight back to claim a victory over hard fighting Hull city and the hero was no other than the "drog man". I wonder what happens when he goes for the African cup of nations in January. Elsewhere, Arsenal took the shine off wigan who beat villa 2-0 by embarassing Everton on home soil 6-1. Earlier, david moyes had claimed that Manchester city's pursue of defender Lescort was hampering their preparations for the beginning of the season. However, he could only blame his defenders for the diabolic defending they put up through out the match. The pressure is now on Arsenal to deliver similar results in future matches. Can they handle it, only time would tell. Adebayor announced his intentions to city fans when he opened scoring for city in their 2-0 win over Blackburn. Did Arsenal make a mistake arming a rival with a prolific goalscorer? Over in Germany, Obafemi Martins made no mistake telling the fans of wolfsburg that he s worth the 10.5 million pounds paid newcastle for his services. Don't run out of steam Martins! Thats all for today, see ya tomorrow. cheers
