From the Orient

Manchester Derby (3-1 to United) – Choice chanting from the United fans; “Citey are back! Citey are back!”, “Keegan must stay” and “There’s only one Ronaldo”. Did I mention how good Scholes is (must not jinx by putting in Fantasy team)? Wright-Philips looked the only interested Citey player. And Seaman did some good saves, but looked very slow.

Chelski 1 – 2 Bolton – A home loss to Bolton, a runner-up does not make. Unfortunately, this is only a blip, and Man United have lost at home to Bolton in the past. It must be interesting being a Bolton fan. Beating and drawing against the top teams, yet struggling at other times.

Liverpool 1 – 2 Southampton – Liverpool are a team in decline.

Boro 0 – 0 Charlton – Danny Mills; thug or clumsy? Both, probably.

Porstmouth 1 – 2 Everion – Wayne Rooney; wonderkid or thug? You walk in cricket, not football. Strange incident that one. I’m suprised how low Everton are this season, as I rate Moyles.

Newcastle 4-0 Tottenham – Two wonder goals from Robert. That’s his lot for the season then. Newcastle are coming out of their usual start of season gloom. A friend at work is adamant that Butt and Larrsen have signed for them already.

Leicester 20-2 Birmingham – What was Ian Walker thinking about? The penalty area was behind you. Thanks to ITV, I only saw brief highlights for what looked an interesting game. 2-0 to Birmingham. No idea why I’ve gifted Leicester two goals. Maybe I was counting the sendings off (but that was three)

I didn’t see any of the Sunday games, so can’t really comment on them, but it looks like Wolves are going to be the new Stoke City (who I currently hate cos they stuffed Reading 3-0 at the weekend).
