Analysis of transfers: The new Chelsea manager André Villas-Boas ahs shown good transfer politics after signing with the young talent Romelu Lukaku who is showing great performances in Belgium and scoring a lot of goal only on the age of 19(he became the goalscorer of the championship). Also he managed to take to London spanish Juan Mata who is in the national team and is amazing footballer. The last news of Raul Meireles's tranfer were the final of coach's selection. Now that he has a ballanced team of well known players he can add a few refreshments to the team to make it capable of fighting for the title for another season.

Start of the season: 2 out of 3... Not bad for a start but if you fight for the title you got to work more on the pitch for the points needed. That's the current situation in Western London - 1 draw and 2 wins. It is true that Chelsea is now involved in a process of rejuvenating the team but the performances on the pitcj need improvement. First a deuce was made against Stoke City on their stadium 0-0 with a lot of misses from "The Blues". Then came the tough victory over West Bromich with 2-1 with all goals scored in the second half(Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda) for Chelsea. The last round they conceeded a goal but again managed to win, this time with 3-1 against Norwich with the goal of Bosingwa, Frank Lampard and Juan Mata. Despite the good start of the season it is clear that there are still thing to work on in the club because all of their matches so far have been against average teams who can easily fight for relegetion at the end of the season. That's why the new players will need a lot of practices and concentration in the matches to take the 3 points, because now, despite the wins there is still room for improvement.

Here we come again!

Summer vacation is over and we are back with the start of the european football leagues in the old continent. Now that it's the pause for these leagues, due to the Euro Qualifications held in Poland and Ukraine for 2012, we can make a quick summary of some of the championships and their clubs respectively. Every day we will post a brief summary of one team from a league.

We will start with the most popular one, that gained the fame of the most thrilling in the last 5-6 years-England. Barclays Premier League has show us a lot great matches so far, and the start of the season is no exception. Stunning results, amazing performances, unique players... Yes, in a matter of 3 rounds we've seen all of this in a single tournament. But lets start to analyse each club separately to see how are things going in 2011/2012 season. Starting with last year's champion from Manchester we will come down to the novices who came from Championship.

Retirements: Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes

Analysis of transfers: Sir Alex Fergues show agains how wise can he be on the transfer market, buying class players only for the positions he needed. Without toо many transfers as usual he got what he needed- prosperous young goalkeeper substituting retiring Edwin van der Sar, who shows differents performances so far, making brilliant saves and at the same time stupid mistakes, Left Wing (Ashley Young) who so far is impressive and has a total of 3 goals and 2 goal passes, and Phill Jones who improves a lot the defence of the team.

Start of the season: Manchester United won their first three matches with a goal difference of 13-3(the best in the league). First came the tough visit against West Bromich won with 2-1 with an opening goal from Wayne Rooney and a late goal of Ashley Young. Next weekend the "Red Devils" won with 3-0 against Tottenham Hotspur on the "Teather of Dreams" with all goals scored in the second half(Dani Welbeck, Andeson and Wayne Rooney). In the last round, playing on Old Traford, the boys of Alex Ferguson smashed emphatically one of the best teams in England- Arsenal with a result 8-2. Goal were scored by Wayne Rooney(3), Ashley Young(2), Nani, Welbeck and Park. Now the team is currently first and shows all prospects of being challenger for the first place at the end of the season.

Airsoft was created and marketed in Japan in the 1980s, due to civilian ownership of firearms being banned. Airsoft was used to closely emulate real guns. Now air soft guns have been adapted with a purely recreational application in mind. Many air soft guns are produced in China and Japan, where their distribution and sale is restricted. This has sometimes led to shipments of arms to many airsoft dealers being confiscated. Airsoft guns are also produced in the Philippines, the United States, and Taiwan. The game is a recreational activity in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with round non-metallic pellets launched via replica firearms.Gameplay varies in style and composition but often range from short-term skirmishes, organized scenarios, military simulations, or historical reenactments. Combat situations on the battlefield often involve the use of common military tactics to achieve objectives set in each game. Participants typically emulate the tactical equipment and accessories used by modern military and police organizations. The guns used in airsoft are typically imitation firearms. They have a mechanism for pushing out projectiles 6 mm or 8 mm in diameter.

Most airsoft guns fire round plastic pellets ranging from 0.12 plastic to 0.88 grams. However, the most popular weights for AEG automatic electric gun are between 20 and 28 grams. Heavier rounds 30 48 grams are typically used for long range and sniper use since they are more stable in flight and less easily deflected by wind. They are usually bought in bags or bottles of 2000 to 5000, but other sizes are available, such as a 250000 round of tournament grade pellets. Pellets are typically 6 mm in diameter, though 8 mm pellets do exist. These pellets are available in the 12 to 45 gram range.

Bulgaria - Montenegro 1:1 or Bulgaria's last hope gone

Bulgaria's football has never been worse. For a decade the Bulgarians haven't reached the group stages of either the World or the European tournaments. Since the establishment of the Bulgarian Football Federation there hasn't been any other such case. It appears that it is not only enough but the federation changed coach after coach with no result. It appears that even if they call Sir Alex or Mourinho or Guardiohla Bulgaria would still not qualify. Because the problem is not in a single person. It is every where. The Bulgarian players are not what they used to be. Even if they manage to show good performance in their clubs, in the National Team they appear to be completely different. There is not team play present, and some even appear to play just as lazy as Berbatov, but without the goals. Thus the last match revealed that the team hasn't changed a lot. The loss ended all!!

Liverpool to choose between Monreal and Cissokho

Liverpool are weighing up a move for left backs Nacho Monreal, 25, of Osasuna or Lyon's Aly Cissokho, 23, each at £9million.

Monreal has four Spain caps while Cissokho has played once for France.

Liverpool are already well advanced with deals for Sunderland's Jordan Henderson, Blackburn's Phil Jones, Connor Wickham of Ipswich and also want Blackpool's Charlie Adam.

They are in talks with Roma goalkeeper Doni's agent after the clubs agreed a £1.5m move, leaving manager Kenny Dalglish needing just a winger.

Aston Villa's Stewart Downing remains in the frame.

Reds keep Euro dreams alive

The Reds have leapfrogged Tottenham on goal difference to occupy a Europa League place - though Spurs have a game in hand. Kenny Dalglish's side have now scored 11 and conceded none in their last three home games - and the momentum is theirs as the race for Europe draws to a conclusion. Liverpool were buoyed by the return of full-back Glen Johnson after a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Andy Carroll, however, was deemed fit enough only for a place on the bench against a club where he scored 33 goals in 91 games. That meant Maxi retained his place on the back of a hat-trick against Birmingham City last week. And it wasn't long before the Argentine reacquainted himself with Anfield's netting. There were just 10 minutes on the clock when a lovely sequence of Liverpool passing ended with Maxi half-volleying past Tim Krul via the leg of Danny Simpson. A period of relative calm followed before Jay Spearing eyed a shooting opportunity from 25 yards. Krul could only parry his whack but recovered before either Kuyt or Raul Meireles could conclude their attempted ambush. Shola Ameobi connected with a Joey Barton header as Newcastle threatened for the first time after half-an-hour, and there followed an uncomfortable interlude where the visitors cannonballed dead balls into Liverpool's box. The hosts responded when Lucas got his forehead to a John Flanagan cross. His attempt was good but Krul was aware. The second half began with close calls at either end: Barton firing wide from a Kevin Nolan centre and Suarez dancing past a couple of defenders at the Kop end before his shot was almost deflected beyond Krul by Mike Williamson. The Uruguayan made a nuisance of himself again on 58 minutes to earn Liverpool a penalty, hassling Williamson when most others would have let it be. Possession was gained and in a bid to recover the Newcastle defender grabbed hold of Suarez's shirt. Referee Peter Walton showed no hesitation and neither did Kuyt, sending Krul the wrong way to make it 2-0. It was Kuyt's 14^th goal of the season in all competitions - and his eighth in his last seven league outings. For his next trick the Holland international turned provider, diverting the ball into the path of Suarez on 65 minutes with a sweet flick of his right boot. The No.7 couldn't miss from six yards out. With the points secure, Dalglish introduced Carroll to a standing ovation from the Kop. But it was Meireles who was next to threaten, coming within inches of making it 4-0 with a diving header from Johnson's cross.

'Now let's keep it going'

Liverpool are three points behind Tottenham in the race for fifth, and despite Harry Redknapp's side having a game in hand they still have to play at Anfield. Spurs travel to Chelsea on Saturday evening, but whatever the outcome of that game Spearing's only concern is another three points for the Reds when Kenny Dalglish's former club Newcastle United arrive at Anfield on Sunday. "We can't look too far ahead, we have Newcastle this weekend and we need to get three points and keep the pressure on Tottenham," said Spearing. "We can't keep worrying about what other people are doing in the league, we have to keep working. "The club seems on a high at the moment and we are keeping it going by putting in good performances. "We have been doing a lot of work together and it is starting to pay off in games. "The confidence which Kenny gives everyone bounces back to him and anyone who comes in (to the team) gels straight away and the training we are doing every day is showing on the pitch. "We are working hard for one another and the good thing is as soon as we lose the ball we are fighting to get it back again and it is that desire in the side now that we want to keep going until the end of the season and finish on a high." The Wirral-born midfielder is enjoying his football under Dalglish and he is grateful for the chance he has been given to show what he can do at the highest level. "For a lot of us, including myself, it is a chance for us to get a step in and show people what we are capable of doing," he added. "For me it is about putting pressure on the likes of Stevie G and for Jack and Flanno it is to put pressure on people like Glen Johnson so you can see there is a fight for places."
