Premier League 2010/11

Perhaps it's been mentioned already and is general knowledge. Sometimes I'm a bit late!

But did anyone catch the BBC Panorama programme on the Glazers and Man U? I caught some of it on Truevisions other day. The Americans have debts reported at £1.1 billion! If i grasped it correctly, the programme implied money from United was, um, 'helping out' elsewhere. No interviews given by the Glazers, or the League about contradictions to the financial rules governing football clubs.

Ah getting back to the real world galee - & at home!!
Bad result for Spurs losing at home. Guess that is the relaxation after the efforts in Europe in the week. Harry has seen hardly any of his transfer wishes (out & in) come off. I suspect that they are not in for a very easy season this year after the wonders of last.
Citi will also be shocked by their last gasp loss to Sunderland. With the greatest respect to Sunderland (& they appear to be another Jeckyll & Hyde side) if you can't something (& probably all 3 points) from them then the title is out of reach.
Everton had another shocking result against a Villa side that are really there for the taking. Looks like another season of playing second half catch up for them.

My Premiership transfer of the window.

Eidur Gudjohnsen among four new signings for Stoke

Class player, only 31 & Premiership experience that shouts quality (with Chelsea).

Tottenham clinch £8m Rafael van der Vaart deal

Might be a great deal as well - but unproven in Premiership (as yet)...

Could easily happen that way Statto. Only (generalizing a little ) it tends to happen more to players who are new to the Premiership. Gudjohnsen never struck me as much of a prima donna in the past - although he has had the same childish acts of petulance that most footballers seem to suffer from.
It looks like it will be a while until Stoke see the best out of him, by his own admission

Stoke's Eidur Gudjohnsen in need of match fitness

but he does have a goalscoring record in the Premiership...

Well great opening match to this weekends' games - just a pity on the final result....
Everton scored a great breakaway goal after some terrific goalkeeping from Howard. United then dominated & eased to a 3-1 lead with 90 minutes having gone on the clock. Then 2 injury time goals make it 3 all....
I guess as United lost this fixture in February last season they should see it as a point gained, although I guess Sir A didn't say that in the dressing room...
Everton fans must be reasonably pleased after 3 pretty poor opening games to the campaign & maybe then can get back on track now.
Mr. Rooney was left at home by Sir A. - despite what he appeared to have said earlier. He will, apparently, play in the mid-week European game against Glasgow Rangers...
