We have seen fairly tale upsets such as Blackpool's first Premier League game ending in not only a victory for the new boys in town, but an emphatic trampsing of a Wigan side that did not look like seasoned premier league opposition. This adds the the less surprising one sided goals fests like that enjoyed at Stamford Bridge as the top flight hit West Brom like an icy shower.
The anticipation surrounding Manchester City's new look side came to and anticlimax as the most exiting team Mancini could imagine consisted of three holding players and no imagination, but City fans will be delighted with the form of their 'keeper Joe Hart who demonstrated just how poor a decision it was to let a West Ham player defend England's goal with an enchanting display against and dangerous looking Spurs. At the other end of spectrum there was an array of goal keeping errors to feast on, from the standard failure to hold on the the ball (Carson) to the inability to protect the near post (Almunia) to comically bundling the ball into your own net (Reina, to be fair he was being fouled by that dirty Frenchman).
We've already seen players give a Fine display to (probably) round off their time at a club (Milner) and others walk out from training in a less dignified (probable) end to their contract (N'Zogbia).
We've seen spectacular goals such as David Jones's volleyed free-kick against Stoke and had the pleasure of seeing Aberdeen top the SPL courtesy of a hatrick of Paul Hartley penalties on his debut and Sheffield Wednesday struggle in the 3rd flight of English football.
But what does all this mean? What can we take from this? I'll tell you one thing: MY FANTASY LEAGUE TEAM IS FUCKED!
