Game 1: Arsenal 2: Fulham 1

The football season is back after more than a 2 month break. Must say the weekends were just never going to be the same without the regular dose of the English Premier League and the umpteen discussions taking place with each match.

Thankfully..things are back to normal again with the season 07-08 getting underway this week.

Arsenal started out with a home match against Fulham and as matches go..the last 10 minutes of this match was as about exciting as things are going to get this season.

Fulham took a shock lead in the first minute of the game with Lehmann making one of the errors of the season. In front of 60,000 people this has got to be really embarassing.

As the match progressed it was back to the usual wasteful chances with Arsenal missing a number of golden opportunities to get back into the game. Finally in the last ten minutes of the game they finally go their act together with Toure and Hleb creating and finishing off the chances.

At the end of the game i was dancing around after having lost hope for the first 80 minutes. And this was the first game of the season :)....Hoping that Arsenal prove all their critics wrong this season. Good luck to the Gunners!!
