Shoud the transfer window close before the season starts?

2
Few noticed last week when Juande Ramos called for a shortening of the transfer window, but the nuclear fallout from Monday's race to the finish seems to support his argument. Prior to Monday, Robinho had been settling in nicely at for another season at Real Madrid, Kevin Keegan was sorting out his first proper [. Click to continue reading...

Everton fans were celebrating breaking their transfer record, West Ham fans were incredulous that they had sold half their defence without replacing them, Liverpool fans were "overjoyed" at signing two foreign 18 year olds to add to their increasing collection of foreign 18 year olds, [.

Transfer Deadline Deals

2

The transfer window has officially closed, and several last minute deals went through involving Premier League Clubs. The most notable transfer involved Dimitar Berbatov finally moving from Tottenham to Manchester United, a deal that was in doubt when Spurs accepted a bid from Manchester City. City lost out on Berbatov, but they signed Robinho from Real Madrid, beating Chelsea to the Brazilian striker's signature.

Gunners cruise past Newcastle as Van Persie stars

1
Arsenal cruised past Newcastle United at the Emirates today with Robin Van Persie bagging two of the goals. The Gunners came into the game on the back of a defeat to Fulham last weekend and it was clear from the off they were keen to make-up for last weekend.

Arsene Wenger's men could have had a penalty as early as the two minute mark when Fabrico Collocini brought down Van Persie in the box only for Rob Styles to wave to appeals away. Click to continue reading...

Weekend Predictions: Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Villa to win, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City to lose

I've never really understood the need for foreign travel. It makes no sense to leave a perfectly good country for a significantly poorer one; although this is never a real problem for the Welsh. When I have capitulated to convention, I have found the experience quite pleasurable. I particularly enjoyed my timeshare in an [. Click to continue reading...

Finally, A Pole Scores For A Premiership Club.

Before you take the champagne out from the fridge or open the wine that has been waiting for this moment for the last 16 years I must disappoint you and say that it was only a League Cup goal. Still, 18 year old Tomasz Kupisz managed to get on the scoresheet for Wigan in their 4-0 victory over Notts County.

Match recap: 3 points is 3 points

1

Well, that wasn't impressive now was it. Almost depressing really.

At least we know Uncle Phil can win ugly.

Chelsea flogged through a 1-0 win at Wigan Sunday, thanks to a sterling free kick from Deco early on. From thereon, it was a dire, slow performance from the Blues.

Wigan were really unlucky not to grab at least a point, Petr Cech making a handful of quality stops to preserve Chelsea's status at the top of the Premier League after Week 2.
