Chelsea took off in style with a win against Portsmouth in what was Scolari’s first competitive game in charge. Chelsea beat Portsmouth 4-0 in what was a dominating performance through out. Deco and Bosingwa had impressive debut with the former scoring a thunder strike past James. It all started when Joe Cole tapped in to put Chelsea in the lead, followed by an accurate header from Anelka. Lampard scored from the spot to put Chelsea 3-0 and Deco rounded off with a swinging thunder strike.

Manchester United were held 1-1 at Old Trafford by an impressive Newcastle side. Ferguson might want to sign a striker very soon. Giggs and Carrick were injured during the game and might miss couple of weeks.

Winners - Chelsea, Arsenal, Hull, Middlesbrough

Boswinga: Gamst is God

Chelsea’s summer signing Jose Boswinga, the FC Porto defender today revealed that he used to watch 3 to 4 matches from the English Premier League each weekend, and that he is a passionate supporter of English football.

That’s all fine, but what came next was baffling! Boswinga stated that, of all the opponents that he would come across this season, Blackburn Rovers’ Morten Gamst Pedersen is the one he would fear the most!

Not Cristiano Ronaldo or Wayne Rooney. Nor Anfield sensation Fernando Torres, or one of the Gunners. But the Norwegian, Gamst! Is he that good?

No more new arrivals at Milan

AC Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has confirmed that his club will not sign any more players this summer, and that star recruit Ronaldinho who signed yesterday is the last new player on the roster.

Milan, who finished fifth in last season’s Serie A, had earlier added Arsenal’s Mathieu Flamini on a free transfer, and recently brought in defender Gianluca Zambrotta from Barcelona for 8.5 million euros. Zambrotta’s Barca teammate Ronaldinho put an end to transfer speculation choosing the Rossoneri over Manchester City, despite the English club’s offer being monetarily superior.

Galliani’s statement means that Milan (might) have ended their interest in Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The Gunners had recently halved their asking price for the forward, after Milan had backed off from Arsenal’s preliminary valuation. A move for Andriy Shevchenko was also on the cards at the San Siro.

Arsenal meanwhile have played up their interest in Spain and Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. Alonso has been linked with Juventus for quite some time. Arsenal are also being linked with a move for England and Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry, who they aim to snatch from under Liverpool’s noses.
