Sunday:
Bolton v. City was a cracking match, which impressed me how well Man C played, they were lively and aggressive and got a fair result.
As soon as I heard that Norwich had scored, I knew this match would end in a draw. Draw with Stoke away is a good result, at home not really.
Wolves were leading the top flight league for a couple of hours, first time since 1962 according to the BBC's MotD, Fulham looked a bit pre-season. *shrugs* Not as good as they can be.
Saturday:
I will let the many Gunners fans here on FG to comment their loss to Liverpool.
Emile scores for the Villa, public holiday in Birmingham. Yay!
Aston Villa, despite selling their best players in the last year, still look a bit good.
AVB gets his first home win at Chelsea with Torres looking better, a poor defensive move by Alex gave the Baggies an early lead which Chelsea pegged back, then went on to a deserved win. Good effort from WBA, Chelsea were too good as usual.
Rookie team QPR get their first away win at Everton, there will not be that many days like that for them. The Toffees looked a bit sticky.
Some football broke out in the North East derby, not too bad really and Newcastle deserved the win, sort of. Joey Barton was his usual charming self.
The EPL played its first match in another country called Wales. Not a great match, scoreless draw, which was better result for the ex-Swans manager than the home team.
Man U and Spurs play on Monday.
EDIT:
Monday 22 August, 2010
