first day of the premiership

just watched the opening game of the premiership between chelsea and hull city. chelsea dominated the match, as expected, but hull did alright themselves. chelsea kept good possession the entire game, and had a ton of opportunities. they did look a little sloppy at times, but still were able to get through since hull's defense wasn't looking too hot themselves.

hull opened the scoring on a weak goal that deflected off two chelsea players in the box. but didier drogba answered a bit later with a hell of a free kick just outside the box. he also game to save the day in the closing minutes with a gorgeous loft over hull's keeper, myhil.

in all, not a bad game. hull were kept in it myhil, who made so great stops. drogba had two fantastic goals and played well all around. i was quite impressed by chelsea's jose boswinga, though. he jumped in on the rushes up the right flank. had nice crosses into the middle, and created some nice chances.

now its time to decide whether or not it will be blackburn/man city or aston villa/wigan. i like villa alot, but i am also curious to see how mark hughes will send out city's squad.
