The Premiership woke up this morning to a lot of excitement. 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, [.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.
