As the second weekend of Premier League football draws to a close the stories of the season start
to take shape. Wigan are off to the worst start to a Premier League season ever with 2 home losses
and 10 goals conceded without reply and Chelsea are off to one of the best, already 2 points clear
of the competition but they don't play relegation candidates every week.
On the pitch:
1) Was there any better way to break Matthew Briggs into the team than last night? Home
game (but small crowd), weak opposition, surrounded by first team players all 'looking out' for
you. Really well done by Hughes, and Briggs will have gained a lot from that, not least because
he's no longer just the answer to a trivia question and is (finally) getting the chance he's wanted
for a while;
2) Bobby Zamora would probably feel he could do a job for Barcelona at this point.
