Thanks for the excellent report , ER. Good result for your lot.

First time Saints have won away from home in the PL after going behind in something like 20 years. Good performance from what I saw. Hoping to get to a game sometime soon !!

Yeah Cal, what an AMAZING game. But did Everton ultimately flatter to deceive? 2-3, 3-4.... oh well Chelsea said, we better just make sure...
Great to see Eto'o back and enjoying it though! I was VERY lucky, switched on at 0-2, and then thought at halftime - this could be interesting...
Well really!! Not the result a Liverpool fan would want, but SkyHigh entertainment.
The more I see of Eden Hazard the more I admire. That little nonchalant drifting dribble out to the right, then pass-pass-rapierthrust 3-5! Brilliant. Still trying to remember which film star Fabregas reminds me of. Italian, mafia or something...? Maybe James Caan?

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

yep he has that Godfather look, a brother to Pacino or Caan ...

Jose was laughing but commented most on letting in three! ... Slack!

the Reds v Spurs is another great test today ... looking forward to seeing how well Spurs continue their great start under their new manager ...

Cheers EdgeleyRob as ever!

The head of the management team is now being politely requested by the faithful.
Thanks for the round-up Rob - if it wasn't for the blinkin' result it would make great reading.

Well it's a toss-up between Stoke and Burnley.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2 Kilmarnock 0. Terrific run continues.

Yes, and a new record for ICT for not conceding a goal - still to concede this season. At least their success is making up for Hereford's struggles.
Also good to see Swansea riding so high in the Premiership, deserved for their style of play.

Thanks for the round-up ER.

A partly community owned club. , riding high, playing great football. Great stuff.

Manager and star winger have proper pedigree of course......

Thanks for usual good roundup, edge - looks like the end of the Owls good start, but will be back on track in a week or three against City in the Capital One!

I'll tell yer what,I'll luv it,luv it

looks like the Reds will tickle Jayne! ... but not No 1 son who is a Spurs fan ....

It could be a very interesting season, very different from what we've come to expect from clubs such as Man U and Celtic.

Yes, much better today, Balotelli classy yet off-the-pace, but the SAS & Henderson flowed the more sweetly for his presence... (Markovic a bit anonymous later).
Spurs couldn't cope with our passing (how good that is to watch...) or rearguard organisation. I ended up disappointed with only three...

Gold stars to Lovren - huge defensive gain for us, Allen and Henderson in the engine room...Moreno making up brilliantly for his costly sideswipe against City... I loved Brendan's grin after Balotelli had pulled his longrange goalie-out effort wide. Says SO much...

This was a very important win for us, you don't want to be 6 points off the lead even this early.
I do hope Balotelli comes good, for his own likeable sake and for ours. And because he loves cats.

Note to Dan Sturridge: stop trying to curl them in! You're no good at it yet.
