Matchweek 1 - Results

Hey footy fans......well, that's one down, 37 to go and if week 1 was anything to go by we're in for a stellar season of footy and for all but one of us, we're well and truly playing catch-up in our comp!

Man U fans proudly sang out 'we are top top of the league' (for 24hrs at least) following their 1-0 season opener victory against Fulham, however, fast forward a few days and who would have thought we would see The Seagulls taking up top spot after their 3-0 win against the hapless Toffees, who have already chalked up the first red card of the season.

Wins also for usual suspects Arsenal (v Wolves), Man City (v Chelsea) and Liverpool (v Ipswich).  Champions League newbies Villa also got a win on the board against fellow claret and blue's West Ham.

Brentford got one over fellow cockney herberts Crystal Palace 1-0, a result that caught many of us out and a first week victory also for The Toon Army (aka Newcastle) against newcomers and many's favourite to go straight back down Southampton.

Draws for Forest (v Bournemouth) and  surprise result of the week Spurs (v Leicester) during which we all had the pleasure of a Jamie Vardy goal and his equally as impressive shithouse celebration towards opposing fans.........you gotta love him !

As far as our comp goes, 7 games in we had George, Callum, Ricki, Alex M and Liam E all on clean sheets, however, fast forward to the end of game 10 and one man kicked on to go where no man (or woman) has ever gone before, that man being Mr Callum Hayde who only went an landed a bloody full house and in turn plonks himself well and truly on the top of the leaderboard with our first '20 point double bubble' and the perfect start, so I ask you all to please stand and join me in rapturous applause for this weeks winner and absolute bloody legend Callum, shot bro!

So it's game on for the rest of us now, Callum has well and truly set the standard and all I can say now is watch your back fella, we're coming for ya !

Hopefully you've all got yourselves set up (and paid up) without any major hitches?  

Don't forget your Match-week 2 picks and if you have any issues or concerns, give me a shout.

I'm heading home to NZ today after a few weeks in the northern hemisphere, so I'll get up to speed and will be back just in time to watch the mighty Wolves stick it to '57 man' Chelsea later this weekend.

Welcome on board once again folks and all the very best for your upcoming nuptials this weekend Liam Ennis and thanks again for getting us all up and running with this year's comp !!
