BPL Round Up

So yesterday, the second round of BPL matches of this season came to a conclusion, with my team Arsenal following up from last week's null 0-0 draw against Sunderland with an equally disappointing performance against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium, a game that produced the exact same scoreline. In another feisty match yesterday, Manchester City bounced back twice at Anfield to earn a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

Currently, Chelsea lead the standings with 3 wins out of 3, with them having played one more game. Second, surprisingly to many, is Swansea City. They have won 2 games out of 2. They, like Arsenal, have kept a clean sheet in the BPL so far, but unlike Arsenal, have no problem firing at the other end.

Hopefully for all Gooners, Arsenal can keep another clean sheet and still nick a goal against Liverpool next week.

In the transfer news, Arsenal are linked with two Newcastle United players, Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote. To get both these players, Arsenal may need to pay up to 40 million pounds, which is the amount of money they collected from the sales of Robin van Persie and Alex Song. In my opinion, I don't think Arsenal need both these midfielders, as they already have plenty of them with the likes of Abou Diaby, Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Emmanuel Frimpong and Jack Wilshere. So what will happen? That's up to Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.

August 18

Hey people!

Now I know I haven't posted for quite a while, because I've been caught up in the summer thrill (you can't blame me).

So, the Olympics recently passed and it was great (except for Dato' Lee Chong Wei failing to get gold)!

Anyway, football fans would know why August 18 is such a special date. Yes, that's right, the 2012/2013 Barclays Premier League kicks off on that day.

Many top flight matches will be played during the weekend. The most prominent ones are :

Wigan vs Chelsea
Everton vs Manchester United
Arsenal vs Sunderland

So be prepared for another season of drama, excitement and passion.

The Premier League is back!
