Key events
Andy Burnham was in town to watch his beloved Everton beat Crystal Palace two-nil.
And here’s a fun fact. Burnham is seven years younger than David Moyes. Which is actually quite a bit less than I’d have anticipated. On the other hand, it would be a cabinet meeting I’d be interested in watching however. A true meeting of minds.
Brentford good; Tottenham bad. Check out Jacob Steinberg’s report from the Gtech yesterday where despite it being a new season, it was the same old story for Spurs.
Hull City provided the shock of the weekend, as they cruised past Manchester United two-nil upon their return to the Premier League.
After the result, United gaffer Michael Carrick has told everyone to stay calm! Which I’d argue is one of those things you don’t want to have to hear your manager saying on week one.
That’s what we’ve got coming up, but first things first let’s run through the five fixtures we had yesterday…
Today’s Premier League fixtures
-
Brighton v Aston Villa (2pm)
-
Manchester City v Bournemouth (2pm)
-
Newcastle v Liverpool (4.30pm)
Preamble
Well, well, well. We’re back again. New season, same fun. Firstly, Spurs fans, I’m very sorry. And secondly, how is this happening again? And Man United fans don’t you look anywhere. I’m talking to you guys well. It’s better to get these things all out in the open so let me know your thoughts by emailing in or posting a comment below.
As well as having all the reaction from yesterday, we’ll also be building up to today. A feast that includes three Premier League matches: Brighton v Aston Villa (2pm), Manchester City v Bournemouth (2pm) and Alexander Isak’s return to Tyneside, as Newcastle host Liverpool at 4.30pm. Barcelona and PSG are in action as the European leagues click into gear too. Let’s get into it.
