I'm working on the theory it is because I swapped Torres out of my fantasy team and he has since scored five
I am starting to believe that the defences are conspiring to be even worse than last year. Not one team this year I would say have hit any sort of form holding it all together at the back
Few red cards about today of course

The number of goals today is no surprise, it has been a familiar theme through the season thus far. Arsenal put 6 past Everton, ManU put 5 past Wigan, the 7 goal Manchester Derby etc. The lack of draws is weird though.
Are defences just worse this year or have the top teams in particular just got better at opening up teams who park the bus? Or are they just taking more of their chances.
Weird that high scoring is the theme of the season so far, last season if I remember everyone was amazed by 5-19th being separated by 3 points or so after 8 games (might be an exaggeration but I cannot be bothered to look). I know which one I prefer!

I have to say goals are good
but some defences are lapsing hard which isn't good, I'm really suprised with hull the amount they are conceding

That said, I don't think any defence in the world could have stopper Torres today.

Isn't it about time for Giggs to become a sir?
Fantastic servant to football and club, very modest and doesn't parade/conduct himself like some of the professionals do.
