EEE & MMM – A Manchester Team Drops Points

I'll admit - I nearly turned off the game.  Once Nasri scored 10 seconds into the second half to put City up 2-0, I had little faith in Fulham not losing by even more.  But two second half goals saw a tie game and City only leaving with 1 point.  Now if Fulham could only play like that away from Craven Cottage.

EEE & MMM – Back from the International break

Man, the international break can be killer sometimes. You get such riveting matchups as Slovakia-Armenia and Finland-Moldova. More than anything I just feel bad for the San Marinos and Faroe Islands of the bunch who are mostly just trotted out to slaughter. One thing I might suggest is a two-tiered Euros. In rugby there is the Six Nations, comprised of the European rugby powers, and there's the European Nations Cup for teams 7-12.

Relevant EPL Results

  • Everton 2 - 2 Aston Villa
  • Chelsea 2 - 1 Sunderland
  • Spurs 2 - 0 Wolves
  • Fulham 1 - 1 Blackburn Rovers

EEE & MMM – I, for one, welcome our Manc overlords

Manchester United and City have combined for 25 goals in three games to open the season, including 8 and 5 yesterday, respectively.  By my calculation, that's more than ⅓rd of all goals scored this year (72 total).  Edin Dzeko (City) is leading the league with 6 goals, and Rooney is right on his heels with 5.  They would be tied for 4th (Liverpool) and 5th (Chelsea) in the table, respectively, by goals scored.

Meanwhile, at the opposite end of things, Swansea City is still looking for their first ever Premier League goal.  In spite of this, they are still 15th in the table thanks to two 0-0 draws.
