5-1 .... I agree Fulham have been woeful but you can only beat who the fixtures put in front of you .... its a decent start which would be made evern better if Chelski manage to drop a few points...

We were lucky enough to be able to rope in one of our stewards, Michael Mancienne to get the number to 16, to satisfy the FA's squad criteria!  | |

The lack of players for Chelsea made me titter. They were able to bring on Mikel, Diarra and Kalou (if memory serves me right) how much did they cost?? It must be hard having to dig deep in your resources and playing those sorts of players!!
Blimey, oh to have those problems!

It's early days and you really have to give it 4 or 5 games to settle down and then you get a better idea of where you are. Historically, because of a lack of fitness, new players to bed in etc, all sorts of results are possible early on. I wouldn't worry for City, as they have enough good players and a good manager, to end the season in a comfortable position. Good luck to 'em!  | |

Our lack of width is worrying - we got rid of Riera, Musampa, Croft and Flood and have replaced them with strikers and central midfielders. We could finish anywhere between sixth and fourth from bottom imo. Let's see how things pan out - half way again, methinks!
