The English Premier League this season

The English Premier League kicked off this August with a lot of expectations . Spurs had brought a huge number of players and that all of the expectations were on them to give everyone a big fight . On the other front the top four had also purchased much required armory of their own
Liverpool bringing in a couple of new faces in Robbie Keane ,Andrea Dossena and the Swiss right back Phillip Degan . Robbie Keane being the pick of the transfers valued at around 20 million pounds .
The Champions brought in Dimitar Berbatov from Spurs landing the bulgarian at his dream club, the club also brought the likes of Manucho and a few other players !
Chelsea got the best bargain trasfer when Portuguese Deco was trasferred at a low cost price of 9 million pounds ..Roman knows how to get his players . I mean for such a quality player of Deco s calibre one would expect a large sum . The also brought the Jose Bosingwa who playes for Portugal . Scolari brought in in place of grant also changed the style of play chelsea played for the past couple of seasons .There would surely be some samba magic coming with Scolari adapting to the Brazillian style of play that won them the world cup in 2002.
Arsenal who have got one of the best youth systems of the world brought in French wonderkid Samir Nasri from French side Marseille !
But by far the biggest story of the new season was the takeover of Manchester City by a rich Arab ! That paved the way for Robinho s trasfer for a record 32 million pounds..
Robinho who was the transfer target for chelsea joined the blue side of Manchester , and with the City aiming to be one of the biggest clubs in the country the move of Robinho had come at the right time !

The season started on the high for all the big four clubs except for Manchester United who drew with Newcastle on day 1 . The rest of the teams strolled throught their fixtures !
Liverpool had lady luck with them , not for a one or two times but far from many times !
They showed their fighting character that that won them the champions league title in 2005 when they had defeated AC milan on penalties in Istanbul . The came behind numerous number of times to beat their opposition!
On the other hand Manchester United had problems drawing again against Everton and losing out the LIVERPOOL in a great match which saw United taking the lead but lost out in the end !
Liverpool found themselves top of the league but had Chelsea for company who strolled through wins on all fronts !
Arsenal were a bit dissappointing losing out a lot of games in the start !
but now they have got their season back on track with a victory over United !
Liverpool also beat Chelsea 1-0 at the bridge !
but lost out to resurgent Tottenham Hotspur .!!
hull city have been the surprise package of the season and are now 6th in the league .. They have played fantastic football and have gained inspiration from Brazillian Geovanni !

Well its jst the start of the league right now but i am willing to put my money on few of the teams here in the league .!
For starters i ll put my money on Chelsea because i think they will not lost points . They are strong team in all the departments and their bench strength is the best of all the clubs .
Liverpool are unexpectable . One day they play flawless football while on the other any team can beat them with ease !

Manchester United have a lot of work to do and i think catchin up with chelsea would be a very difficult job and as far are Arsenal are concerned i think they still have a couple of seasons more before they can mount a reasonable challenge for the championship !
Well we will see how this works out now and i ll update this post as soon as the season gets over !
MY BET TO WIN THE TITLE ARE CHELSEA
AND THE TOP SCORER TO BE FERNANDO TORRES
!!!!
