Blackburn 0-2 Man City
Blackburn won't go down and City won't win the league or trouble the top four on that display. Bellamy motm

Other than the Chelsea game pretty dull start to the season, not a lot of goals about

The rest of the big teams still need to play though. Hopefully they'll be more entertaining.

Not going to get used to seeing Bendtner starting for Arsenal any time soon!

When you consider we were 3rd and looking serious challengers last year, I think you'd be less than pleased losing 2-0 at home to a crap side.
Lol - Garth Crooks really is on the "City for the Prem" bandwagon.

I can understand that, but they were 3rd, briefly, with Laursen their best player playing. Without him they dropped like a bomb, well without him and playing the dead weight that is Heskey. He's completley the opposite of what the team needed, they thrieved in uber speed getting forwards and having 2-3 very quick players who could play off each other well doing great. Heskey just tries to hold it up, doesn't get in the box enough and rarely actually knocks the ball on anywhere useful.
At the back, Davies and Shorey aren't good enough for top 8 sides let alone competing for the top 4. IN the middle, throwing Delph in at the deep end was, well, stupid. Heskey is a dead weight and makes much of Young/Gabby's game pointless, fast breaking with a few players making runs in various directions to drag the defenders around and make space for someone else to run through. Carew did that brilliantly, why Heskey starts I don't know.
They've lost 3 of their best 5 players in the past 18 months, Melberg, Laursen and Barry replacing them with poor defenders and an untested completely inexperienced central midfielder.
West Ham looked very very decent, Wolves didn't look terrible though, just West Ham are getting a very good offensive minded team together who work together brilliantly.

Very good goal, we'll see better goals this season though I think.
Youtube Rodallega wonder goal against Aston Villa
It's quite good
My fantasy team's had a belter of a start; Ryan Shawcross, start man at the back with a clean sheet and a goal
lol at the first comment on there.Youtube Rodallega wonder goal against Aston Villa

Good save from Kirkland from Young's free kick too. Cracking strike.

Was just looking at the Sky Sports live table.
Can we claim that we have been top of the Premiere League please for at least a small amount of time?
Why are Stoke above Man City in the table? Surely Man City ranks above Stoke alphabetically.
