It's back....

Well it actually started last week in Scotland, but this week the English caught up and the season kicked off, no longer do we have to try and work out what to do on a Saturday!



So how did the Kiwi's get on? Well the ones that played had good starts to the season

• Ryan Nelsen's Blackburn Rovers came from 1-0 down at the Riverside and won 2-1 with goals from Matt Derbyshire and new Paraguayan signing Roque Santa Cruz who was described by Captain Nelsen as "too bloody good" - Are comments like this what Jamie Redknapp is talking about when he mentions honest players?

• In The Championship, Plymouth Argyle also won away from home at Hull City with Rory Fallon heading Plymouth's 2nd in 1st half injury time, he almost got a 2nd but Hull keeper Myhill managed to tip the curler around his right hand post. Fallon was subbed in the 79th minute with the scores at 2 each, Plymouth went on to secure the win with a goal from Ebanks-Blake

• David Mulligan sat on the bench for Scunthorpe's debut in the Championship away at last season Premier Leaguers and favourites for the title, Charlton Athletic the score ended 1-1

• Chris Killen, who made his Celtic debut last weekend in a 0-0 draw against Kilmarnock, was on the bench and was not required as Celtic despite going 1 down in the first 5 minutes, eaisly overcame a spirited Falkirk side 4-1, in manager Gordon Strachan's 100th game in charge
  

Coming Up - Kiwi's in action over the next week

Sunday sees Fulham start their season at Arsenal, although it is unlikely Simon Elliott or Chris James will feature

The Carling Cup starts mid-week with both Scunthorpe and Plymouth facing potential banana skins with lower league opposition in League 1 Hartlepool and League 2 Wycombe respectively

Wednesday could see The first Kiwi since Danny Hay to play in a Champions League game when Celtic travel to Moscow to take on current Russian League Leaders Spartak. Also there are some Premier league games and although we have only just started the season Fulham v Bolton does have the air of a relegation battle fixture about it

Next Saturday sees Fulham at home to Middlesborough, Plymouth at home to the tractor boys (Ipswich) and Scunthorpe host Burnley, meanwhile Luke Naughton's Kingstonian start their season in Ryman League Division 1 South with an away trip to Ashford Town

Sunday could see 2 Kiwi's on the Telly with Blackburn at home to Arsenal and Celtic away to Aberdeen
