The EPL is back! Here are the weekends fixtures ... Opening round

Maybe Monday's game between Man City & Newcastle is the best match-up of the round. Although the early game on Saturday between Liverpool and Stoke might be the 'Match of the Day'

Came across this article written by Robbie Savage on the BBC website. It's quite an eye-opener ...

... Robbie Savage reveals footballers' tricks to engineer a transfer

Sulking is horrible and can have a really negative impact on your team-mates and the club as a whole. When you sulk, your whole demeanour changes and you bring people down with you.

Any player can cause havoc in the changing room or out on the training pitch. You just need a bad attitude. It doesn't matter what it is, do it badly and you soon get a reputation the manager cannot ignore.

It can be hard to do, but one sure way of losing the manager's backing is by not giving 100% in a match. I say it's hard to do because you're not just letting yourself down, you are letting your team-mates, fans and family down.

just wanted to say...good to see the news this week with the Establishment finally admitting they covered up the real story of Hillsborough, and not only that but made up outright lies about Liverpool

It's over RVP scored a hat-trick (what a hat-trick too, that volley!!) to seal it. Ahhh my mate Suarez!! What a set of fangs on him! One of the best on the park but good lord loves a nibble on defend

... Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger under intense pressure following shock loss to Aston Villa

The Gunners have at least £70million burning a hole in their pocket but haven’t spent a penny. And after allowing 17 fringe players to leave, Wenger has arguably a weaker squad than at the end of last season.

Confidence isn’t the only thing Wenger needs to rebuild as the transfer deadline approaches. Arsenal will continue in their attempt to land Luis Suarez from Liverpool, with an offer nearing £50m imminent. They will also step up their interest in Atletico Madrid right back Juanfran. Not many years pass without talk of a crisis at Arsenal. For it to come one game into a season is a new experience even for them.

... The weekends fixtures

The match of the round would have to be the Tuesday morning clash between Manchester United & Chelsea (5am) Aston Villa vs Liverpool should be a cracker as well (2.30am early Sunday morning)

Here's a BBC podcast previewing the round of games ... Friday Night Preview with Dan Walker

Fulham vs Arsenal kick things off this evening at 9.45pm. The Gunners will be desperate for the 3 points.

The weekend's games ... here's a podcast preview of the round of games ... Friday Night Preview

Sunday night provides 2 classic match-ups. At 10.30pm we've got Liverpool vs Manchester Utd followed at 1.00am by Arsenal vs Spurs.

It looks like Wayne Rooney will be staying at Old Trafford after all ... Mourinho: Wayne Rooney chase over

“For all parties, it is finished,” Mourinho told Sky Sports. “One thing is to tell you through other people that you want, you want, you want very much, but at the end of the day (nothing happens). Everyone had a right to decide his life his future, so I respect him.”

Gunners win again overnight.

Chelsea lose overnight.

Top F$&@ing day!!!! :). :)

And my Hammers just keep playing in scoreless draws! (although we did defeat Spurs 3-0 at Tottenham the other week - you'd be happy about that!)

Arsenal are having an excellent season but Man City loom large - they beat Norwich 7-0 last night. City can sometimes struggle away from home but they are the one to watch IMO. The Gunners go to Old Trafford next week - that could be a beauty.

The title race is wide open (at this early stage)

As a City fan I was pleasantly surprised at the performance against Norwich, although I think the Canaries lost 4-0 earlier in the week in the League Cup so can't take a huge amount away from it. Much needed points though to stay in touch. Demichelis looks to be the answer to the central defender woes in the absence of Vinnie Kompany.

Very happy to see the title race becoming more and more open. Six teams with legitimate title claims, whilst Everton should be looking at Champion's League football as a realistic goal.

The Saints stumble for the first time away at Stoke, but still a remarkable start to the season for them. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Come on Suarez and Sturridge!!!

3-2 but don't ask me which way! Both teams will probably be pushing for a win so we should see a good open and attacking game.

Of course, now that I've said that ...

5-1... Geebus that is a thrashing. Good young side, lets hope they stay in Champions league spot this year and improve enough next year to press for the league.

If that was in relation to Liverpool, my what a season we've had.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we'd be a genuine shot the the premier league title this late into the season. God it was EPL theatre at its best, home team races out of the blocks only to be reeled in, and just when you thought the hope of the locals were going to be dashed up pops a hero (along with a very poor mistake).

One of the worst games I've seen from Suarez, incredible given the stakes as well, I would've thought the chance at a title would lift him, instead all he did was appeal for frees/penalties.

What a game!

Tremendous match, fantastic atmosphere and both teams went for the win. Best game of the year so far.

Liverpool can win the whole thing but ... they can't get too focused on the Chelsea game in 2 weeks time (not yet anyway) At Norwich next week might be tricky as the canaries are locked in a relegation battle. The match is on at the user friendly time of 9pm next Sunday - ideal.

My Hammers just need to eke out a few more points to be assured of safety.

Embarrassing by Suarez. Probably undone any inroads he's made with neutral fans after that display.

The 3 kids in Sterling, Coutinho and Flanagan have been absolutely huge in this home stretch. Maybe they don't know how to get nervous yet. But those 3 tore it apart last night, didn't put a foot wrong.

95 minutes was too much for me to handle, dunno how I'll get through 4 weeks.

I love Martin Škrtel.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
