Oh yes it surely was! All the waiting was over and the Premier League started with a bang as the first match was closely contested by teams hoping to pick a spot in the top 4 this season and eventually get a chance to play in Europe. It was almost 5 when I finally had that feeling yet again that I need to stop doing everything else, rush back home, turn on the tv and watch Football.
The first match was Spurs at home against Man City and the players seemed like playing for their lives as soon as the referee blew the whistle to get things started. Joe Hart - the Man City goal keeper was the man of the match and he had an absolutely fantastic game who had made so many unbelievable saves in the first quarter of the match itself. The match finished in a draw which was a shame but I never knew the day was going to get better.
Blackpool entered the top flight with quite a superb win over Wigan, Aston Villa mugged West Ham United while Chelsea run riot at home against West Bromich Albion. As if the rain was not enough to deal with when it was raining goals at Stamford Bridge and there were 6 of them and West Brom were punished for their defensive generosity.
Drogba got three in the first match which is a scary thought and the race for the Golden boot has already started with Harewood getting a brace for Blackpool. Chelsea would probably be at the top of the table after the first round of matches are completed on Monday courtesy the number of goals scored.
