what a weekend!

Now let me be the first to clarify that one game does not make a season. And that anyone writing off Liverpool already for losing or Chelsea for barely slipping by is foolish. Just as anyone giving the title to Arsenal for the demolition of Everton. Hint, hint. But there is no denying not many people would have guessed the scores that came up over the weekend. Arsenal showed the skill that they can have, now the question is if they can keep it up over a season. Liverpool showed their frailties in midfield without Alonso. Will Aquilani be able to fill the gap when he gets fit? Man U won but barely, and Chelsea needed some luck to pull off a home win against Hull. But at this point the managers will just be happy with the points. The three points Liverpool lost today could come back to really hurt them by seasons end. But a loss at Whitehart Lane is not very embarrassing, particularly with the team Redknapp is putting together. All I can say is that the first weekend was exciting, and the transfer window isn't even closed yet! I still worry that this Arsenal win will give Arsene the excuse he is looking for to not spend any money. And the most sad thing of all is that I have no way of watching any of the games here in Sudan. Sigh. I guess I just have to read up on the guardian and bbc while imagining it all in my mind. Obviously that means all my observations are based on other peoples, which isn't great but if I spread it out over enough websites I might get an idea. Jon, did you see any of the matches? Also are we going to do the week by week results as well? Just wins and loses or draws, not actual scores? Two points for each correct guess? I noticed you didn't post for this week so thought we might not do it. It might be hard to do it every week for me if I am in the field but will try to post. Also are we thinking of adding the English cups to our predictions? Give me some thoughts. I know you have some comments on my predictions for the season!
