Premier League - Week Two

1

After two matches, there are only two clubs in the Premiership with 100% records: Chelsea and Liverpool. Chelsea did not match their dominant display of week 1, a 4-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, but thanks to a brilliant free kick from Deco, the Blues continued their winning ways with a 1-0 win over a scrappy Wigan side.

Premiership rules v2.0

1
Liverpool 2, Middlesbourgh 1 -- Mido looks to be having a special year as he puts the Boro up 1-0 late. But there's some magic at Anfield these days as an own goal (85') and a last gasp winner by Gerrard (above, 90+') send the Reds fans home happy.

Fulham 1, Arsenal 0 -- Oh man Arsene. It's gonna be one of those years huh? Click to continue reading...

Arsenal Boss WILL NOT Be Forced Into A Panic Buy

1
Arsene Wenger insists he will not be forced into buying players for the sake of it amid heavy criticism from some quarters. Arsenal have endured a difficult start to the season, following up last week's unconvincing 1-0 win over West Brom with a disastrous defeat to Fulham at the weekend. Having failed to replace the outgoing list [. Click to continue reading...

What do Arsenal fans think is missing from their title push in SIX WORDS!

3
Long-winded people are boring, and writing full sentences is for chumps. So instead you have just SIX words. Sound easy? Good for you. The season hasn't started as well as Gunners fans would have hoped. After a scrappy victory against West Brom came a shock defeat at Fulham in a game ... Click to continue reading...

Why Liverpool should be 2 points ahead of Chelsea and why West Ham should have lost by 4 goals…

3
After the second weekend of the new season, there's only one Premier League team left with a 100% record, according to the Right Result. Chelsea miss out on the chance of joining Liverpool on two wins out of two as Blues keeper Petr Cech's blatant push on Emmerson Boyce at a first-half corner should have earned [.

Has Ade's "FLIRTING" hurt us more than we think?....

1
I'm trying to forget about Adebayor's behaviour over the summer. I'd love to try and move on and draw a line under the situation but I cant. So if I cant let go does that mean I'm not the only one?

What I'm saying is maybe morale in the squad isn't the greatest at the moment and maybe one or two players cant forget Adebayor openly offering his services to other clubs. Click to continue reading...

Robin van Persie has a lot to prove this year, and he hasn't got off to a good start.

1
The reaction to the defeat on Saturday has been, undoubtedly, overblown. But due to the stratification of the Premier League into the Champions League teams, the UEFA Cup sides, and, well, the rest, defeats can no longer be treated in the 'c'est la vie' fashion they once were. People talk about the Premier League like it's a marathon and, in many ways, it is. Click to continue reading...

Is it time for Arsenal fans to worry?

Let’s Get Whiny!

3

Because that's what inevitably happens whenever Arsenal lose.

And let's not mess around- that was an awful performance today. Last week's game against West Brom was better, even if just for the goal (I actually thought it wasn't a terrible performance last week, just one lacking some sharpness).

QPR's Start This Season Compared to Last Season

2
-
As the Observer notes, the six points QPR have now taken this season; last season, took them until October to reach (and nine games): This season, QPR have six points from three games. Last season, QPR had three points from their first eight games - without a win (which led to John Gregory being axed). Click to continue reading...

Match Report: Fulham 1-0 Arsenal

2
Craven Cottage has traditionally been a successful hunting ground for Wenger's Arsenal, but a Fulham side boasting several new signings looked to bounce back from their opening day defeat by Hull. Arsenal on the other hand, looked to continue from where they left off against West Brom with another 3 points hopefully in the bag. Click to continue reading...

West Brom 1-2 Everton

Ohhh gerrin, gerrin, gerrin! COYB! COYB! COYB! SO happy with that today. I've been so down about all things Everton for weeks and weeks. Last week knocked me for six despite my attempts to remain detached....today had me bouncing round like a big kid again. So silly but I'm sure every footy fan reading this knows what I'm on about.

Money makers from the Olympics

1
With Argentines being crowned Olympic Champions it's always good to see who may have made some money based on their performances in Beijing.
Here are five that I think made them selves some serious cash during the Olympic soccer tournament. 1. Angel Di'Maria, Argentina (above): Everyone talks about Messi and Roman but the Benfica wingers performance was key. Click to continue reading...

Our English teams in action

We'll follow Everton and Nottingham Forest in more detail when I'm in the same hemisphere, but for now, just know that Jose Baxter is now the youngest player to start for Everton (16 years, 198 days), the BBC tells us. Wayne Rooney was almost 17.

They're away to West Brom.

Nottingham Forest, playing at home, lead Watford 2-1.

Premier League 2008/9 Predictions - Week 2

5
How many scores did I get right last week? Absolutely none, that's how many. But am I discouraged? Of course not. You see, it wasn't my fault. Turns out someone (not me) had forgotten to recalibrate the old crystal ball for the new season and it was still on the 2007/8 settings. But I've had the [... Click to continue reading...

Will Arsenal be screwed against Fulham without their star midfielder?

Beating West Brom at home is one thing, but winning at Craven Cottage is another.

Football Rivals You Love To Hate

I hate Liverpool and I hate Liverpool fans.
