Six nil

[Gully]

Yesterday it was Chelsea and Arsenal...today it was Newcastle stuffing Villa...really didn't see that one coming.

Has there ever been a weekend of fixtures in the top flight where three sides have scored six or more?

The World Cup was largely crap, asides of the abject performance by England, but if the Premiership maintains this level of entertainment we could be in for a belter of a season.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I wish I didn't have to work today, sounded like a brilliant game.

I reckon Chelsea will have a few more high scoring games in up coming weeks.

 

[SNOOBS]

no no no the premiership is boring

 

[sam86]

I had £10 on Villa to win 3-0

Carroll a call up for the next England friendly ?

Carroll a call up for the next England friendly ?

No harm in trying, we will probably drop Zamora if he did get called though.

 

[Stat Brother]

The greatest league in the world!, I think not.

 

[mistahclarke]

it's mental

2 games in and 22 goals difference between top and bottom GD.

2 promoted teams SMASHING established Prem teams.....

 

[Giraffe]

It's the financial situation. Teams are readily excepting more that they can not compete so are just ,making do with the sides they have. THe gap between the top five or six and the rest will therefore get bigger every season.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Forget about goals, for there was an even BETTER occurance in the Wigan Chelsea game yesterday.

There wasn't a CORNER for either side in the entire game, only the second time it's happened in England

That would have been a great night to watch Match of the Day.

 

[Smythe]

Not if your are an Ipswich fan

 

[Gully]

That would have been a great night to watch Match of the Day.

Agree totally, but how would you decide which games should be featured and which to just have goal highlights...to do the whole lot justice, with interviews and punditry, would probably need a programme about three hours long.

 

[Spider]

no no no the premiership is boring

Personally I find it hard to find clubs from the top set hammering lower clubs by massive margins every week about as boring as it gets but there we go!
