Weekend Review

Hello people, hope you all enjoyed the opening weekend of the season, it was an absolute cracker! We had shocks, dodgy refereeing decisions and some very good goals.

I might as well get it over and done with and talk about Arsenal, we were just not good enough all over the pitch. We had a lot of the ball and had some good chances but credit to Adrian in the West Ham goal who was in unbelievable form. I hate losing but sometimes you just have to take it on the chin, the Hammers were very well organised and that young lad Reece Oxford looks a real talent for the future. The first goal was horrible defending and a lot of fingers are being pointed at Petr Cech but there was no marking at all and as for the second one, well I just cannot understand why not one of our defenders tried to close it down if that was Keown or an Adams the shot wouldn't have happened. Alexis Sanchez had a couple of nice touches in a game that we really shouldn't have needed to risk him but there you go, a bad day at the office.

Chelsea got their season under way with a very below par performance against a Swansea side who although will be delighted with a point, will feel they really could have nicked all three. There is no arguments about the sending off for Courtois, it was clearly in the box and a red card. Diego Costa got the hump because he didn't win a penalty which was never one in the first place. Man United beat Spurs in a pretty dull match on Saturday which involved a lovely Tom Daley impression by Ashley Young.

Leicester blew away Sunderland in 25 minutes with Mahrez causing havoc against an awful defence of Kaboul and Coates. Watford got an impressive point at Goodison Park which was a surprise but what a cracking goal from Ross Barkley! Bounemouth will feel they could have got something against Aston Villa because they a lot of chances but Rudy Gustede had other ideas.

Norwich will be very unhappy after they had a perfectly good goal disallowed for a high foot by Cameron Jerome which I thought was the wrong decision. They may have had a penalty if it wasn't for a very dramatic fall by Bassong after a push by Wickham. Liverpool got a very late winner at The Britannia but it was a belter by Coutinho. Southampton and Newcastle finished 2 a piece which is the only score I got right this week.

That is all for now, catch you later in the week!
