Hopefully I'll remember to do this each week. At least something else to talk about after all this is an experiment.
Well what a baptism of fire for QPR a 4-0 defeat by Bolton Wanderers and a bizarre second goal which was deflected by Daniel Gabbidon not helping matters, other goals were scored by Gary Cahill, Ivan Klasnic and Fabrice Muamba QPR did score but it was disallowed. Plus a sending off for Clint Hill before the games conclusion Elsewhere Norwich City fared better against Wigan Athletic with a 1-1 draw a Ben Watson penalty followed by a Wes Hoolihan goal just before half time sealing matters. Aston Villa and Fulham could only manage a draw at Craven Cottage Marc Albrighton and Stilliyan Petrov amongst the better chances for Aston Villa, Damien Duff Dickson Ethu and Clint Dempsey with some of the chances for Fulham.
Liverpool managed to throw away a chance of victory at Anfield a missed penalty by Luis Suarez didn't help although he did make up for things by latching on to assist to make it 1 -0. However Sebastian Larsson equalised in the second half. Two of last seasons struggler's Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers met at Ewood Park a 2 -1 win for Wolves. Goals from Formica for Blackburn Rovers and Fletcher and Ward for Wolves.
Newcastle United and Arsenal could only muster a point A point gained for Newcastle United you would feel given the struggles for Arsenal not helped by the loss of Cesc Fabrigas to FC Barcelona and Samir Nasri's future in doubt. Also the main talking point being new signing Gervinho who Joey Barton had felt slapped him after claims that Gervinho had gone down for a dive to claim a penalty and the conduct that Joey Barton in which the situation developed. There was also a claim by Barton for a foul by Alex Song earlier in the match.
Sunday saw what would be seen as a great result for Stoke City as they drew with Chelsea at the Britannia Stadium A game with few chances saw Fernando Tores being Chelsea's best player There was also an appearance for Jonathan Woodgate who has come over various career threatening injury's.
Champions Manchester United manged a win over West Bomwich Albion at the Hawthons with Goals from Wayne Rooney an equaliser by Shane Long capitlising on new signing David de Geas mistake in the first half before Ashley Young shot and the ball deflected off Steven Reid.
Monday night saw Swansea City making there Premiership debut as they took on Manchester City at the Etihad stadium. Swansea city gave a good account of themselves in the first half but the second half Manchester City upped the gears and the introduction of Sergio Aguero who scored two goals along with Edwin Dzeko and David Silva gave Manchester City into a 4 - 0 win.
Sadly Tottenham Hotspur against Everton had to be postponed owing to last weeks rioting.
