    (Yes I know the Scottish one started last week)

    Anyway good luck to all DP-ers who follow English teams. We're starting with a tricky away game at Crewe, so look out for the familiar 'Brighton nil' at around 4:45 Saturday on afternoon.

    Well Scottish and French league started last week and that was boaring games but hoping for good start in EPL.

    I am manu fan so I have to wait Sunday to see them in action.

    For tomorrow I am looking for Sunderland game because Roy Kean is Manager of Sunderland.:)

    EPL! :eek::eek: There's more to football than just the Premier League y'know! Small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts, meat pies on the terraces, rattles, scarves, standing in open 'ends', Sports Report with James Alexander Gordon (Da da da da da da da da da diddly da da-daaaa), David Coleman and the teleprinter, Bradford Park Avenue, Glossop North End, flat caps, whippets, being 'run' by the Luton Town boot boys, Give us a B (Beeee!), Goldstone ground (RIP), Fred the Argus seller, Good Old Sussex By The Sea, Peter Ward, curly perms, no logos on shirts, Brighton on MoTD,

    Actually I think I'd better go for a lie down ...

    well they got a good chance of finishing higher than Chelski but not MU :D

    Seriously though, LP were so far behind last time it will take a season or two to finish top IMO

    They have virtually a new team and it usually takes a while for them to gel together

    Pool are looking extremely good. United have dropped unnecessary points and I wont be surprised if the drop more at City. Chelsea have again come back from the dead and won games you would not expect them to win. All in all a smashing season awaits us !

    Well this is relaly strange start for English Football and Last year good teams fail to get good start.

    Bolton and Spurs are in bottow, United dropped 4 points and 2 players.

    Gameweek 3 should trun the table when Liverpool face Chelsea who has weak defance at the moments and conside 3 goals in 2 matches.

    Only Manchester City have clean sheets and yet to consider goal. So on first two games every team consider Goals excluded Manchester City.

    And City have kept clean sheets with a 20 year old novice at the back. Kasper's real test will be today against United. IF he can hold his own against the big boys, Sven doesnt have to get another keeper, Schemichel is ready !

    I can't wait to see Eduardo da Silva playing for Arsenal... IMO, Liverpool could be dark horse of this years' championship...

    Jeez. Does anybody (else) support a team OUTSIDE of the Premier League? We beat Northampton Town in front of a die-hard crowd of a little over 5,000.
