Premier League Weekend 1

So we are back up and running, but nothing has really set the world alight, but it is early days, let’s start the round up with two six pointer relegation battles, yes even this early there were two important games.

Wolves won at Blackburn in a crucial game between two sides that face a relegation battle, of the two Wolves seem to be in the better position, they have unity at the club and the board seem to want to assist the manager, Blackburn, in my opinion, will be lucky to finish 19^th, so a crucial victory for Wolves.

Norwich and Wigan was the other game and this ended all square, these are two sides that I want to survive, they have given young managers the chance, and I hope this proves correct, Norwich has always been a side that I have admired, always played good football as is the tradition, Wigan are a club that has a great manager and an even better chairman, Martinez always acknowledges the game and shows his love for football by trying to do things the right way, and in conjunction with Dave Whelan, who is refreshingly honest and business savvy, I want them to survive, so a point shared was a reasonable start.

For the pretenders to the crown, there were no real signs of improvement, Chelsea were the same, robotic side, no new faces of note, and no creativity in the side, they are a big unit who try to overpower sides, but up against Stoke, they met their match, we also saw the horrible side of the game with Torres and Lampard throwing themselves to the ground in a way my five year old son does, then John Terry making the ref aware he should feel sorry for them.

Arsenal, I don’t think, we can consider as genuine title contenders, I believe they are in a battle for 4^th place with Liverpool, neither side impressed the weekend, Arsenal look short of freshness and new ideas, the headlines from St James Park will be about Joey Barton, who for the record did nothing wrong, he got stamped on and slapped and has now been hung, drawn and quartered from all angles, shocking, but back to Arsenal, with more exits before the end of the month, Wenger needs a trophy signing, his philosophies simply don’t work now, and even his own crowd must be coming to the end of understanding with him.

Liverpool clearly have a better squad this year, but do they have the squad to challenge the top four, it is clear that three clubs are far and away better than the rest in Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea, Dalglish is playing catch up from far back and he has bought good British players that will make them more competitive, but they lack the factor that makes them serious contenders, and this was clear to see in their opener at a much improved Sunderland, I fully expect Sunderland to be in the top 8 this season with the signings made by Bruce.

The champions of last season, showed why they will be champions again this season, the opening 30 minutes of the game at West Brom was the best football of the weekend by a long way, coupled with the second half demolition of Man City last week, they are exciting to watch, the second reason they will win the league was that even though they were below par second half, they still found a winner from the impressive Ashley Young, most people will be doubting the new keeper, but look at Reina when he first joined Liverpool, the great Dane when he first joined Utd, plus many other keepers that take time to settle, he will come good.

Fulham and Aston Villa should end up mid-table and this was giving further credence by a 0-0 draw against each other.

The surprise team of the year will be Bolton, and their thrashing of QPR was the ideal start, no matter what the problems are at QPR, it is impressive at the way Bolton hit the ground running, as for QPR, I expect they will be in the bottom three alongside Blackburn.

So without a home win all weekend in the Premiership, it is now down to Man City to rectify that against Swansea, a tough start for the swans against one of the top three sides this season. We will see.

Super Injunctions take a new twist

So you are now able to look like the perfect family man, earn millions of pounds from your image over 20 years of playing football at a top club, get caught out with your pants down, hush it up by using the money fans put in your pocket, and then sue people for discussing it! That seems fair.

Mr Footballer who this relates to is a footballing hero to me, I have seen him majestically dance around opposition players, I like many people have admired the way he has kept a low profile, away from the media spotlight, enjoyed his family life, but now this, is he really that selfish?

I of course can't name him for fear of ending up in court, but please, just in the future think before you act, don't treat the public like fools, most of us know who you are and you are know making yourself look like a spoilt brat who keeps throwing his toys out the cot, to sue people for telling the truth would be totally unjust, are we all subject to your rich mans order? 


To sue a website for allowing freedom of speech and to express what the word on the street is, that is unjust, I hope you lose your case and that these super injunctions are torn up because you spoilt, overpaid people who expose the media need to grow up.

Super Injunctions

So Fred Goodwin, you have been exposed, I am sure most of us know who the other people are who are covered by these, SUPER INJUNCTIONS, but what is the morals of these, well let's be honest, they are to cover the rich, the people who do court the press for there own cause then when they make mistakes they gag our media.

The simple thought is, if you are portrayed as a role model, then act like one, do not hide behind injunctions, do not gag the press that 90% of the time assist you with your income, do not act like idiots and take the piss out of the public who pay your money.


I really wish I could name them, one of the persons is somebody who I have admired on the sports field for 20 years, someone who's name I have chanted, someone who I don't want to see in the headlines for the wrong reasons, but someone who has to pay the penalty for his miss doing. I have paid part of his wages by buying season tickets etc, and yes I do feel cheated, I do feel that I have paid for an injunction.

I still admire him for his skills, but not for the way he is treating us, he is not the only one, some of the others are people I like from TV etc, in a way Fred Goodwin  has been exposed because of his record at RBS, the person that exposed him did it for his own gain, but he should be applauded for telling us what we have a right to know.


The other side of the coin is from the media, they need to be sure the story is correct, they need to ensure they are reporting the facts and not pure speculation, otherwise we will see those famous words, "see you in court".


I like many beg the judges, keep freedom of speech, if it is wrong then the rich person will take action for compensation and a apology, if it is correct they will try to stop the story.
