There have been a few unexpected results already haven't there, boro's won tonight, after Liverpool's only drawing with Sheff Utd, and Reaing beating boro at the weekend. Let's end the season now we'll settle for runners up behind United, it'll be no disgrace...

Yes the start has been unexpected for a lot of teams but I am sure things will get into order in a month or so.....I am surprised to see Man U winning both and by alot of goals though, perhaps the pundits are wrong this season and Man U are going to do Chelski who lost last night against Boro.

Chelski are obviously settling into the 4-4-2 setup and are dropping points - great for the rest of us. Isn't it amazing - Pompey are ahead of Chelsea in the league ! Who would have thought that ???

Late goals enabled us to climb to 2nd (or rather stay there considering Chelsea were only ahead on alphabet). Thanks to Fulham and Middlesborough we could have been slightly lower. Now a draw at the Riverside followed by 2 home wins and we will be well set for some 2006/07 excitement. I only hope that we still continue to persue a decent striker though, before 31/8. We musn't assume that our current crop will maintain 'The Business'.
