Premiership Weekend Roundup: October 4-5

2008-10-06T18:19:00+00:00

Manchester City 2-3 Liverpool

It was the big talking point from this weekend's game at Ewood Park.

Shock Of The Season

2008-09-28T19:54:00+00:00

So perhaps for the sake of your enjoyment, dear reader, Soccer Source should predict humdrum fixtures each week.

It'd be a huge shock if Man Utd, Chelsea and/or Arsenal did anything but win with ease

Yeah, right.

After getting dumped out of the Carling Cup by Tottenham in midweek, Newcastle got beat 2-1 by Blackburn at St James' Park yesterday afternoon.
