Hehe! Man Utd thrashed Bolton 4-0 in the season opener! 2 goals from Giggsy and 1 each from Scholesy and Ruud van Nistelrooy summed up the match @ Old Trafford.

Fergie gave both new signings Christiano Ronaldo & Eric Djemba-Djemba a taste of the English Premier League in 2nd second half. My dad and I both held our breath whenever Ronaldo gets the ball coz he’s really got the skill - and the jersey number 7 to match as well…! smiley

Ronaldo, being only 18 years old, played with composure and excellent skills, zigzaging around the left and the right flank like Giggsy and threatened the Bolton defence ever since he came on halfway thru the 2nd half. He was brought down in the penalty box, and was awarded a penalty kick. Alas, Ruud van Nistelrooy kick got saved by the Bolton keeper, Jass-whatchamacallit… that’s his first ever EPL penalty miss (and 2nd in a row, after missing the one during the Community Shield penalty shootout last Sunday).

Nevertheless, it was a great game for Man Utd to step up the challenge to defend the EPL champions title. Arsenal won the match against Everton at Highbury with the scoreline 2-1 where Sol Campbell (he’s in hot soup (pun intended smiley ) now, coupled with the video investigation of his retaliation kick on Djemba-Djemba during the Community Shield match) was sent off! An Everton player was sent off as well in the match (dunno who - sorry ah, didn’t check any site for details).

And newly-promoted Pompey recorded their first ever Premiership match with a win over Aston Villa (2-1).
