Hello!
Back in my home set up with wifi, time, mutliple screens etc and - conveniently - 3 weeks of results to get into!
Woohoo!
Not much point in rehashing the first few weeks of the season other than to say, I've done the Duckworth-Lewis calculation and, should the inevitable end of the world happen right now, Arsenal will win the league. So, boom. Eternal champions and all that.
Been an interesting start though. I wrote previously that this was going to be an interesting season with the World Cup break, and the theory goes that points on the board before the World Cup may be even more valuable than normal as late season form will be difficult to predict.
So - slow starts for Liverpool, Chelsea & Man Utd are less than ideal (for them) although clearly plenty of time to make things click. Wolves, Leicester, Everton and West Ham however are in for a long season, as are Bournemouth who looks favourites to go down. Fulham look the strongest of the promoted teams so far.
Anyway, lots of time for that all to change.
