No thumping scores this weekend, thank goodness, and arguably the most impressive result was Wigan’s 1-0 win over Spurs at White Hart Lane.
It was a devil of a weekend, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle all hitting their opponents for 6. Once upon a time, you wouldn’t have seen a 6-0 scoreline all season, then last season it popped up maybe 4 or 5 times, but 3 times in one weekend? The Premiership has gone completely mad.
It’s only the first week but we’ve already had a team win by six, a promoted team win 4-0 on the road, 3 red cards, an “I didn’t see it” from Arsene Wenger and a Steve Bruce blast at a ref, so, all in, not a bad start
Who's your Top 4 for this season? Can Man City break into the Champions League spots or will Spurs hold them off? Will Liverpool find more consistency under Roy Hodgson? Or is there a dark horse among the second tier?
The FA need to act to ensure that all players are aware of the consequences of their actions.
They are under-age boys, young and impressionable. They are wooed by the flattery, the glamour, and the money. This is football pedophilia.
There may have been some lucky wins this weekend and teams who deserved more than they got but that's what makes football such a drama.
In these money-dominated times in football it's become all too easy to forget that settled squads bring results.
How crucial is a good start to the season for title contenders? After just 3 games Liverpool have already lost as many games as they did for the whole of last season.
How many more Lescottesque debacles do we have to have before the insanities of the transfer market, it's extension beyond the start of the season and ability for clubs to "tap up" players through the media, are addressed?
