English Premier League 2011: Hail the New Kings of Manchester

So... The King is dead, Long live the King!

That must have been in the thoughts of every Manchester City fan, when City dealt a devastating defeat to Alex Ferguson's Machester United at Old Trafford.

It's always me!

Mario Balotelli scored two goals, and Kun Aguero paved the way for a big victory with a superb predatory goal, as Rooney and Co appeared helpless to stem the City tide. In fact, Dzeko should have made it 4-0 but he blew his chance just seconds after making his appearance as a substitute. However, Darren Fletcher did score for United to erase some of the blushes for the Champs.

Then Dzeko made amends for his earlier with a knee tap to make it 4-1, and David Silva showed his class by adding to United's misery with a brilliant goal, and Kun Aguero finished the game with a final goal of the night as the Champions capitulated, to make it an unbelievable 6-1.

I just can't stop scoring!

 But now United's "noisy neighbours" are firmly in the driver's seat, sitting comfortably at the top of the league table, and Ferguson must be cracking his head thinking " how to beat these guys?..."

Arghhh! What a disaster!!

English Premier League: Lukewarm start for Reds

With all the hype surrounding Liverpool's new boys, ie Stuart Downing, Charlie Adam, Jose Enrique and to a certain extent Andy Carroll, you would've thought that the Reds would have blown Sunderland away with all that firepower (which also includes Luis Suarez). 

Unfortunately Liverpool could only muster up a boring draw with Sunderland (1-1) despite playing at home...

Adam...played well, made the goal for Suarez

Yes, it's only the first game of the season, and a few players made their EPL debut with Liverpool, but watching them totally dominate the first half and then run out of steam in the second half was sorely disappointing.

Also disappointing was witnessing the many missed opportunities of Andy Carroll, who should have at least scored one goal, but instead muffed all chances.

What? I missed again???

Good debut for Downing, who hit the post

The Reds had better improve soon to avoid another disastrous season.
