John Terry

allows Maureen to continue with his victim mentality


another solid win for city , makes it a big game for arsenal tonight , lose and they could be 6 points behind already , same sort of thing as happened last year

Bournemouth are up and running.

Yep, third game we've played ok, this time with a reward at the end of it.

Very difficult to see how is getting relegated this year. Bournemouth look capable, Norwich apparently bombarded Stoke this weekend and got a really good win in context away to Sunderland, even Watford have a couple of good results in a row with draws to Everton and Southampton.

Assuming Sunderland will also stay up when they win the last 10 games in April and May.... who is going down?

[rich1uk]

if I was putting money on it now I would pick sunderland , Norwich and maybe Villa

[rich1uk]

says a lot that I am happy about having Robbie savage as the co-commentator on the early game on BT sport today as at least hes not michael owen

Newcastle a bit lucky not to concede a penalty there

[rich1uk]

eventful start here

one Newcastle player booked for a stamp and another given a straight red

[rich1uk]

referee getting loads of abuse from the home crowd here but if anything the only bad decision he made so far was actually in their favour

Chelsea & Liverpool

[yuppie]

City have started very well, 8 points ahead of last years champions.

Chealski have some problems, City look pretty good and are getting stronger.

Only 4 games in, but Chelsea are a long way back. They would have put Palace at home down as 3 points. Not sure Chelsea have played well since the turn of the year. Some big questions to be answered by Jose over the coming weeks.

so how much money is Maureen going to try to persuade abramovich to spend before the transfer window closes after this start to the season ?

Well im not sure they can out spend City.

And i wonder what Roman thinks of a player he had at Chelsea less than 2 years ago not being good enough after 3 games according to the coach, but is about to be sold for 60 million, when he only got 18 million for him?

Jose has 4 points after 4 games, needs more attacking options and the team 8 points ahead of them is about to spend 60 million on a player that this time 2 years ago was on Chelseas books.

Jose might be changing teams again, or Chelsea might buy Progba.....

I know its not all under mourinho's watch but some of Chelsea's transfer dealing have been weird

sign felipe luis and then sell him back a year later

sell matic and then buy him back for around £20M more

spend £24M on cuadrado then loan him out 6 months later

as well as the de bruyne one you mention

overall their net spend for the last few years is around even but still looks like some dubious judgement on players

[mikesiva]

Raheem Sterling....

It's early days, but it does seem that he made the right decision, leaving Liverpool for Man City.

Nobody can blame him for leaving, but £49m was about £25m too much.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Leaving Liverpool is a no brainer full stop.

Pelle wins dive of the season by throwing himself on the floor after running past Bassong.... its so sad that referees dont see that and send players off, two weeks of doing that and dives like that never happen again.
