Arsenal hit a 6 / Warnock's first rant of the season

I didn’t expect Arsenal to start the season in such explosive fashion. A 6-1 opening day win is good. But up at Everton is something special. I did though expect Arsenal to struggle this season; however an inspirational performance showed they still will be hard to knock out of the top four. They played and looked like they did a few years ago when they were an unbeatable force. I was also impressed with Manchester City. Now you would expect them with a team they have to beat Blackburn, which they did. But it was the performance at the back I was most impressed with. Given, Dunne and Toure looked good and dealt with whatever Rovers threw at them. Adebayor scored on his debut and fan’s player of the year, Stephen Ireland netted his first of the campaign. With Everton and Villa’s slow starts City could mount a serious top six challenge. Manchester United started the defence of the title with a steady 1-0 win over newly promoted Birmingham City. But even in the first game they look like t

The Football League has started!!

The football league is back!!! A week ahead of the Premiership, the teams and fans of the football league sides start their campaigns for glory. The Championship round-up starts with, Cardiff City’s 4-0 victory at their brand spanking new stadium over Scunthorpe. Cardiff if you remember missed out on the Play-Offs by one goal last season. Newcastle United put the turmoil of the summer behind them and drew 1-1 at West Brom. These two teams will be there or there abouts come May. Goal of the weekend was Clinton Morrison opener against Ipswich Town. His curling lob over the keeper and two Town defenders is a contender for goal of the month already. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid29318049001?bctid=32823450001 In League 1 Colchester put on the best show. An amazing 7-1 win at Norwich was a perfect way to start any season. This overshadowed Gillingham’s 5-0 win over Swindon. League 1 this year will be tight with fans of Leeds, Millwall, Charlton, MK Dons and Southampton look

Manchester City...is it time for the Blue Moon to shine again?

Manchester City F.C was the biggest movers in the summer transfers market here in England. Only Real Madrid in Spain spent more. City are clearly ready for one of their most promising and important seasons every. They are in a position to break into the top four like Everton done a few seasons ago. They transfers they made are all improvements and they have taken some of the best from other clubs. Tevez was one of United most important hard working players. His goal a Wigan towards the end of last season put one hand on the title for the reds. City has not only taken one of the best footballers in the world. They have taken a great player from their great rivals. And the billboard advert welcoming people to Manchester with Tevez on the front is on show for all United fans to see. Barry was an influential part of Aston Villa’s midfield for many years. Now an England international he will want to prove the City fans and Capello he is ready for the big time.
