Burnely...the Toast of the EPL. But will it last?

We have seen it time and time again. Newly promoted teams, get off to a great start to the season, but fade badly to the end. Some even getting relegated that same season. With that said, it must be exciting for the players, fans and front office alike go come into the your first season of the EPL with no real expectations and shock two of the biggest teams within one week. Hats off to Burnley, who played bravely and who admittedly had some good fortune in upsetting both Manchester United and Everton, by the slimmest of margins. Only time will tell if this was a flash in the pan, but it is definitely refreshing to see the underdog actually show some heart this early in the season.
Meanwhile, as expected Chelsea maintained their perfect start to the season, with Drogba looking imperious. His control, strength, passing and decision making has been world class. If he continues like this teams need to watch out this season. Arsenal however has been the toast of the English Premiership. With commanding wins thus far, Arsene Wenger's boys have really come out to prove that even with one of the youngest rosters, they are still a threat to take the title.

That is all for now, but as always football is not just a sport, it's a way of life!

Cheers,
Deon
