WHERE DO I BEGIN!!

Mancs first game for the season was good. We played hard didn't perhaps attack hard enough to leave us goalless. The dogs from Reading broke Wayne Rooney's foot, he will be out for 2 months.

Yesterday Mancs played Pompey, we played once again a good hard game, Scholes with the opening goal for the mancs for the season. Tevez played he wasn't good nor bad, he was brought into the team to act as an assist to help out guys like Wayne and Cristiano but hes now the replacement. Cristiano got sent off which was BULLOCKS! He is suspended for a few weeks.

Next up is the Manc derby. Mancs should beat Citeh, but Citeh have been playing quiet well so expect any thing.

Citeh look the goods this season. Early days yet but they made a 2nd rate West Ham look like Leeds! Good signings and a solid coach in Sven, they might be a bit of a wildcard.

Birmingham have started well for a newly promoted side, think I'll keep an eye on them and Sunderland as well as the mighty Irons.

Would love to see the Mancs and Chelski get bundled out of that top 6 ;)

There have been some eye catching performances so far. Citeh getting points early, could be very important come season end.

I'm starting to fall for Sunderland with Roy Keane as manager. Two inspired performances have them on 4 points after two games. If they can keep the form for another month they might collect enough to scrape out of relegation come season end. Chopra is certainly winning his fans over.

ManU are in strife. No Ronaldo or Rooney for the next few games and already 4 points behind Chelsea. The fact they have recurited so much over their summer means they hopefully have the depth to cover. No doubt Tevez is a quality replacement.

What is going on with the Yids? Two crap performances and are copping it for their AU$100m spending spree over the break. There is enough quality on the park, but if they want that top 4 spot they were chasing at the start of the year they need to get their asses into gear.

Liverpool are exciting me this year. Voronin has been tearing it up and scored a great goal for the scouse in the UCL game yesterday morning. On the topic Gerrard to play this weekend with a broken toe? Well 'ard.

Middlesborough look terrible. Two awful losses and they could face relegation this year. They have brought in Mido but if Yakubu ends up going I can't see how they will score enough goals to stay in the Premier League. Especially the good way that Wigan and Sunderland have started. They will find it tough. Serves them right for a lack of initiative.

Portsmouth vs. Bolton last night was an entertaining game. 3-1 in the end to Pompey and Bolton are losing touch with a shot at Europe.

Also watched the Reading vs. Everton game. Bikey totally covered Andy Johnson (who will be playing for England in their friendly against Germany). Whilst Hunt tore the Everton defence to shreds. 1-0 to the Royals.

must.... refrain... from... gloating...

can't... hold... back...

must... resist...

GO CHELSEA! ;)

sing it loud, and sing it proud: Man U, Man U, who the hell is Man U?!!!


Watched the first half of the Man U v Man City game. Man U controlled the game for 30 minutes, but forgot about getting the ball in the important area (i.e. the goals). Man City gets one chance, and BANG!, he shoots, he scores! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

BLUUUUUUE MOON!


They are going along swimmingly, while the Hammers are quietly going about their revolution. Very important points this week against potential relegation partners.

West Ham might be signing Adriano soon. Would be a HUGE player for them, in more ways than one.
