the opening

i just realise that i didn't leave a blog entry about the new season of english premier league since it started 2 weeks ago... of course, one of the obvious reasons is i have been disheartened by my team losing 3 of the first 4 games, plus the manager replacement saga, rumor departure of our best striker, yaddi yaddi yadda. definitely not a good way to start this season with such high hope originally. it's so not fun crawling out of bed in the middle of the night to see them lost to everton at home one early wednesday morning.

what's more, our strikers (starter or reserves) still haven't opened the scoring account this season - that included the likes of keane, berbatov, darren bent and defoe. with such talent in the line-up, it's unbelievable. sigh. let's hope they will wake up soon with a bang - as there are a number of tough games ahead (including one against arsenal in mid-september, and the start of uefa cup campaign)

the only thing that's comforting to know is last year we had a woeful start too (winning only 1 of the first 6) but ended up in the 5th place. of course that's not what we want to see repeating, but it did give us a reason to stay hopeful. and i am sure at the end of the day, the spurs will still go marching on.
