Wow. I go away for a couple of weeks and look what happens...

• England actually win a game quite convincingly. AND an Arsenal player actually scores for England. In fact, he scores a hat-trick! When did that last happen?!
• Arsenal shake off their early season loss at Fulham and start getting their shooting boots on. A hat-trick from Adebayor on Saturday was nice to see. The vultures are currently on vacation.
• The football hierarchy has taken another turn for the worse, with another money-bags owner rolling up in his Rolls. This time it's Man City's turn to take over the world. Would you Adam'n'Eve it. Football's eternal losers might actually become world football's super power. Quite astonishing.
• Newcastle and Keggers have parted company yet again. And you have to feel a bit sorry for the fans...

Well, no sooner do I say that Newcastle are Man United's bitch, Keggers goes and instills some steely backbone into his Toon lads and they pull off a rather surprising draw at Old Trafford. Apparently it's been some 36 years since Newcastle last beat Man United at Old Trafford, so we're happy with a draw this morning. But, don't forget that United only got 2 points from their first 3 games last season, so...

Chelsea look strong and impressive, and playing to a Brazilian samba rythm, apparently. I managed to catch a few minutes of their game against Portsmouth and they looked crisp and tasty. Just like a packet of Walkers Cheese and Onion.

You have to say "Thank Christ" he never managed Arsenal. I love the guy's passion, but his tactical nous leaves a lot to be desired...Can you imagine a guy like Keegan at Arsenal? Doesn't the thought just make you want to streak on to the pitch at Highbury in protest (ending up jumping into Arsene's arms complete with a passionate and yes, still starkers, bearhug to show your full appreciation for the amazing job he has done)...
