The premier league is back!!!!
What an exhilarating round of fixtures filled with tension and jeopardy akin to that of a final this is why we love the beautiful game.
As report cards go for the first installment of which 37 more will follow, I have 3 broad strokes that paint the entire league.
Newcastle are the real deal.
Man City are sleepwalking to a fourth title
Arsenal - same solid Machine.
Bournemouth will be alright
Liverpool and Chelsea are nearly there but not quite.
Palace, Brentford, Fulham, West Ham, Brighton (that's it nothing more nothing less)
Burnley, Spurs - Kompany and Ange need to learn quick
Villa's injuries to key players worry me.
Sheffield are rivaling Derby's record of 10 points in the league.
Everton needs to spawn a striker ASAP.
