Laughed greatly at this story. Yossi is still the man!!:
One of soccer’s most notorious hazing rituals was finally conquered this week as new Chelsea signing Yossi Benayoun turned the tables on his would-be tormentors.
Until now, every new player who joined the Chelsea squad faced the embarrassment of being forced to stand on a table in front of the English Premier League champion’s entire playing and coaching staff, belting out a song of his choice at full volume.
Israel international Benayoun, who signed from Liverpool in an $8.8 million transfer, looked set to become the latest victim of ridicule as senior players ordered him up on to the makeshift “stage” for his performance.
He stunned his audience, however, by bursting into a rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” by Gerry and the Pacemakers, the anthem of the archrival Reds.
“I started to sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ but all the other players started shouting,” Benayoun said. “They wouldn’t let me carry on, so I had to do something different.”
As well as clearly possessing a wicked sense of humor, Benayoun also has the ability to play a crucial role in the outcome of the upcoming EPL campaign, which starts August 14.
With Joe Cole having headed in the opposite direction by joining Liverpool, Benayoun’s arrival brings some welcome creative spark in midfield.
After ending a three-year EPL drought by winning the title in May, Chelsea will enter the new season as favorite, closely followed by Manchester United.
While previous summers have seen the club lavish millions on several expensive new signings, this year has been more about investing in style — on and off the field.
The attractive, skillful midfielder should help head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s ambition of making Chelsea not only the best but also the most free-flowing team in the league. And away from soccer, the side will certainly look the part after agreeing on a ground-breaking partnership with fashion label Dolce & Gabbana.
D&G has designed a range of formal wear for the players to use on the way to matches, and will deck out the club’s locker room with a collection of opulent fittings far removed from the traditional players-area look.
Once a Red, always a Red!

Its going to be an interesting season thats for sure with a renewed battle for the 4th spot and Manchester City seeming to spend on transfers what an nation spends already . If Mancini doesnt get that 4th place hes ruined ..
It will be interesting under Hodsgon and Redknapp
Chelsea & Man Utd have an ageing team and i think will struggle but will be in the top 3 for sure ,i hate saying it if Arsenal can sort out their defence i think they could be the dark horses this year

Did everyone else see that Martin O'Neill resigned as manager of Aston Villa today? I was shocked! Bad news for the club. I liked him as a manager. I wonder what happened that made him quit so soon before the season started?

There's good things and bad things for having my Toffees having Tim Howard:
Good: Since he's a recognizable face in America, Everton highlights get play here.
Bad: When the only goal in a 1-0 loss was off a dropped ball that got kicked in.
Looking for at least a point next week against Wolverhampton.

Oof. A draw. I'll take it, I guess. Quite a blunder from Reina, who, in my opinion, is one of the best keepers in the world. Very rare of him to make such a large mistake. But overall, Liverpool played a very good match, even though they were down a man in the second half. Fo Arsenal, the question remains about their goalkeeping.
Another season begins! Good luck to everyone out there!!!

A bit gutted with Spurs not being able to score against Man City. To dominate a game like that and not get the win especially against one of the teams you will be scrapping with all season.
Yes looking forward to tonights game in Switzerland but not happy that it will be on an artificial pitch.
Come On You Spurs!!!!

It does look like Groups A and G are the "Groups of Death". Very strong clubs in those groups!
As for Liverpool, quite a kick in the teeth against Man City.  Hope we have a better showing against West Brom!!

Wel if were talking about forwards in the Prem League .... Gabriel Abonglohor from Aston Villa , Darren Bent from Sunderland , Bobby Zamora from Fulham,Carlton Cole West Ham,Andy Carroll from Newcastle ( thats who i would go for ) and the surprise one ..A comeback from Robbie Keane from Spurs as Redknapps looking to offload him
As for Spurs comming back with a bang ..I think it was a splat !!! when we lost to Wigan !!! I am speechless !!

Wow. How about Fergie dropping Rooney from the Everton match in order to spare him from the "abuse" from the crowd from his recent scandal. I say let the man take his punches and move on. He'll just get it 10 times worse the next time he plays there.
And now to continue to cross my fingers for Liverpool's match against Birmingham tomorrow!!!!!!!

I figured we could at least draw with Man U. At 2-2, I thought we actually were going to. Ugh. It's going to be a LONG season this year... 
I just hope the ownership situation solves itself really soon or we are doomed...
