ADIDAS Reds 2 , ADIDAS Blues 1

We beat Chelsea... again. We looked comfortable. The new kit looks comfortable. The floppy collars will take a little getting used to though, but at least Adidas gave our jersey a different cutting from the rest of the teams who are wearing their new shirts this season. Everything went according to plan. This season we really have options in attack and young Daniel Agger looks to have the goods as Hyypia's replacement in a season or two. Nice way to start our 2006/07 campaign but as Steven Gerrard's somewhat ambivalent expression during the prize presentation showed, this win is merely symbolic more than anything else. Only first blood has been drawn; no glory yet. Liverpool represented the whole EPL today and I hope the league will take comfort in knowing that Chelsea CAN BE BEATEN if you set up your stall right. Misters Ferguson and Wenger would have been watching the proceedings closely and to them, I say the ball is getting rounder when Chelsea plays these days. Jose Mourinho must be so sick at the sight of us I wonder what else has he left to say in the dressing room about WE the men from Anfield.
