Aside from Gaz Nev's brilliant Sky Sports debut there was very little to shout about on the opening weekend of the Premier League. Putting aside Monday night's bitter blue wankathon against the might of Wales (results and points added to week 2) FFL managers will be busy looking at transfer possibilities - injuries, players left out, suspensions..............
Fabregas has gone - thank fuck for that. What will three-time champion McNick do?
Vidic is out for three weeks - over to you Sid
Ferdinand was always only ever going to play a maximum 20 games -DP?
Poor Rafael - another one who is out for a while. McNick? Lucky 8 transfers this season eh?
Gervinho (what a spam head) and Sturridge both suspended -no attack for me for two weeks!
No Luiz for Chelsea - what will Stathi do who also has Kolarov and Milner.
Etherington has fucked his shoulder - what will Rico do?
And finally Carrol - Harry rumour has is that new Sunderland signing Wes Brown was arrested after the match as he was suspected of leaving with £35m in his pocket!!!!
Anyway, here is the first table of the new season.
| Diff |
| Total Points | |
|
| 1st | Don | 9 |
| 1 | 2nd | Nick Ach | 8 |
| 1 | 3rd | Sid | 8 |
| 2 | 4th | Theo | 7 |
| 3 | 5th | James | 6 |
| 3 | 6th | Rico | 6 |
| 3 | 7th | Mike | 6 |
| 3 | 8th | Stathis | 6 |
| 6 | 9th | Nick Ath | 3 |
| 7 | 10th | Harry | 2 |
DP is quickest out of the traps and with points from Monday's game (Clichy and Dzeko) it looks like Don is intent on making it three FFL titles. But take note, Aguero's 8 points and other city clean sheets leave the table very differently after Monday!
Harry has the dubious honour of having the first negative player points courtesy of Foster's -1.
It's a long season. A marathon, not a sprint. Some managers will be over the moon with their teams, others sick as parrots. But, most will take it one week at a time.
'Till next week, your August / September chairman

PS - one transfer from me. Osman OUT, Larsson IN (James you were right!!!!)
