S7M11: Pep Rally

The early game was the much-hyped near-top of the table clash between Mourinho's grizzled lot & the young Poch project, playing the role of Hollywood hero. Frankly, in these games, the script often doesn't go the way of the public hope. The public probably being anyone in North London, because whilst those of a white persuasion had the obvious investment, those on the red team were stuck between a rock and a hard place, only a much worse version.

Anyway, Veterans 1-0 Yoof.

Then to London. West Ham thought they'd relieved some pressure on Bilic...well...Joe Hart had relieved some pressure on Bilic but Antoniio dithered, Zaha didn't and Palace had their 4th goal and 4th point of the season.

Arsenal won their 13th game in a row at home - stadium record that, coming form behind to beat a Swansea side really struggling to get going this season. Liverpool won comfortably against Huddersfield, as did City against WBA to register the best start to a league season from any side. 2 late goals there didn't really reflect the game.

Tight away wins for Stoke at Watford & Chelsea at Bournemouth both come as welcome relief (not that there's ever a bad time to win away) whilst honours even on the south coast.

Everton's woes continued as new boss Puel won on debut for Leicester, and then Burnley won a tight game to best Newcastle and keep their great start to the season going.
