    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Aston Villa 0-1 West Brom

    This Midlands derby defeat for Aston Villa, at the hands of West Brom, means that the coming one, against Birmingham in the League Cup, has a significance that it otherwise might not have had. West Brom had come to Villa Park in need of a pick me up and within 60 seconds Rondon had forced…

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Manchester City 1-2 West Ham

    This result ended a tough week for Manchester City fans. They lost to Juventus in midweek, in another Champions League reversal, and then followed it up with this very poor performance at home to a West Ham team who need no encouragement when it comes to taking on the big guns and getting a result.…

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Liverpool 1-1 Norwich

    Brendan Rodgers’ team have had a lopsided start to this season, and no mistake, and this was another of those days when he and the Liverpool supporters were left cursing his side’s luck and their lack of a cutting edge. As it stand right now they have taken an anaemic eight points from their first…

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Spurs won the day’s second London derby by a single goal, with Son Heung-min bagging his third in two games to give them a hard fought victory over Crystal Palace at home. The winner came in the 68th minute of an encounter where there were chances at both ends but stout defending had largely succeeded…

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Southampton 2-3 Manchester United

    This five goal thriller was a great advertisement for the EPL, with a few memorable displays and one memorable goal, from Juan Mata after 45 (count ‘em! 45!) passes. It was United’s third, the game’s fourth, and the one that has, perhaps, finally answered some of the questions about the Van Gaal approach and how…

  • EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Stoke 2-2 Leicester

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Stoke 2-2 Leicester

    Leicester are the one team in the EPL who are still undefeated, and this game was a lesson in why that’s the case. This is a well organised side with a manager who wants to play the Beautiful Game in an attacking manner, and who isn’t afraid to change things around. For the second game…

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Swansea 0-0 Everton

    A Bore Draw this one wasn’t, although that’s what people looking back on the score line will remember about it in years to come. In fact, these two teams contested a hard fought and exciting match, one where there were good chances from both side and a lot of impressive displays. Ross Barkley continues to…

    EPL 15/16 Matchday 6: Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal

    The weekend’s games opened with a bang, with an amazing match between Chelsea and Arsenal. For Jose’s fan club it was a day to remember. For Arsene’s, it was yet another dismal one to forget, and yet it all might have been so different. Chelsea, let’s not forget, are the side who’ve made the dismal…
