S11M3: Circle of Life

I can confirm that the football has returned. The surrealism of last weekend has started to dissipate and routine is slowly returning, exercising some mental muscles that once got a good working out.

Always nice as well when a bit of footballing routine helps ease that transition. Easy Liverpool & Man City wins. Check. Newcastle defeat. Check. Man Utd struggle at Southampton. Check. Arsenal get bullied out of the game by a Chelsea striker. Check. Nice.

What else happened? The newest London derby ended with spoils shared at Selhurst Park, as did the first PL game in front of a full Elland Rd in ages. Brighton battered Watford and they look very good this season. Bissouma anyone? The return to Wolves ended happily for Nuno Espirito Santo, with an early Dele penalty the difference maker. Finally, what on earth is happening to West Ham and how are they maintaining this form. I can't prove it but I reckon its EPO or something.
