Premier League round up


Happy Monday people, Well what a good weekend of football that was! There was a plenty of talking points so lets crack on!

Manchester United 0 - 0 Newcastle United - If any United fan honestly can say that they don't need another striker then I am afraid you need help. Wayne Rooney looked off the pace again although he was rather unlucky with the goal that was ruled out for offside, where was this linesman last week for Bournemouth?! The first 20 minutes, I thought United were going to run riot but not taking chances in the Premier League and Newcastle grew into the game and possibly could have nicked it in the last minute. I would say a striker is a must for United and if anyone really thinks Adnan Januzaj is the man well it is going to be a long season, I think he is an ok player but he isn't a match changer in my opinion.

Crystal Palace 2 - 1 Aston Villa - Well Palace are a good side to watch aren't they? They really do play some good football and they deserved the 3 points here and I really think Scott Dann should be in contention for an England call up because he is a very good defender first and foremost but he scores goals. I also think the signing of Bakary Sako was a very good bit of business cause the man is an absolute unit and will score goals.

Leicester City 1 - 1 Tottenham - Another week and another lead lost by Spurs who look desperate for a striker to take away the pressure from Harry Kane who again looked like he is suffering from second season syndrome. Another cracking goal from Mahrez which cancelled out Delle Ali's goal a minute earlier.

Norwich 1 - 1 Stoke City - Another score draw at Carrow Road in a game that was far from a thriller but we did get to see Xherdan Shakiri for the first time who looks quality.

Sunderland 1 - 1 Swansea - There will be no man more relieved that Sunderland finally got a point than Dick Advocaat who must feared the worst when Gomis put the Swans one up right on the stroke of half time. There is no doubt that The Black Cats need some new faces before the window closes because the players are simply not good enough. Swansea will be a little disappointed that they didn't collect all three points but they are a good side to watch.

West Ham 3 - 4 Bournemouth - Well what a game this was, had absolutely everything but what a performance from Callum Wilson who scored the first hat trick of the season. West Ham were all over the place at the back and just couldn't handle Bournemouth at all and Carl Jenkinson was shown a straight red for a tug which is now the 5th red card of the season already for The Hammers, no fair play award this year then!

West Brom 2 - 3 Chelsea - Another cracking game which could have turned out different if James Morrison had scored the penalty. It was the first chance to see Pedro in a Chelsea shirt and he didn't disappoint with a goal and an assist. A massive talking point is the sending off of the Chelsea captain John Terry for pulling back Rondon which was just outside the box, there is no complaints that it was anything else other than a red and it couldn't have happened to a much nicer bloke but I do think it is the beginning of the end because he looks all over the place at the moment.

Everton 0 -2 Man City - Well Man City look awesome at the moment and are going to take some stopping. Goodison is not an easy place to go but City looked in control and now they have signed Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia they are going to be even more hard to break down.

Watford 0 - 0 Southampton - I absolutely hate nil nil draws and from what I saw of the game there isn't really much to talk about. Watford look ok at home and if they are going to survive then the home games are going to be key, as for Southampton they look very average at the moment and they have a massive game on Thursday so they must get ready for a difficult trip to Denmark.

Only one more game to come and that is the massive Monday night clash between Arsenal and Liverpool which I will do a round up tomorrow.

Have a good Monday!
