Just my quick opinions on the other games from this past weekend.

Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion: In what looked like a replay of so many Arsenal games last season, Arsenal controlled the game against West Bromwich Albion, but were unable to put them away, only getting a 1-0 result.

Samri Nasri's play today stood out to me as he looked comfortable on the ball all day long.

The beginning of the Premiership season is upon us, and that means a few things: i. If you root for someone outside the Big Four, start dreaming of the UEFA Cup. ii. Referees will be forced into hiding again. iii. Get your hair gel now, ladies, because England is going to be depleted by November. iv. Click to continue reading...

At the beginning of every new EPL season the newspapers are full of team previews. But they suck. All of them. Mine also sucks, but hey, at least it has the authentic Sanford's Soccer Net seal of mediocrity running through it [not to mention poor selling, bad grammar, etc]. I've listed the teams in the positions in which I think they'll end the season: 20th - 11th today, 10th - 1st tomorrow. Click to continue reading...

The likes of Peter Halmosi, George Boateng and Geovanni have already arrived at the KC Stadium this summer, yet they could be eclipsed by the potential signing of a forward from Stamford Bridge.

Despite some impressive signings already this season, Hull have stumbled upon a real lack of firepower in front of goal, with only Caleb Folan and Dean Windass to lead from the front with only a week to go until the Tigers play their first ever Premier League game.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that young striker Fraizer Campbell may get a Premier League chance. That is for two reasons. Firstly, he is a very promising striker who played a significant part in Hull's promotion to the Premier League last season whilst on loan at the KC Stadium and secondly, because by Sir Alex's own admission, United only have Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney as other strikers at the club!

The most profitable single game in the world was won by...no, not Manchester United...no, not the New York Giants...Hull City last season, as the Tigers' 1-0 Coca-Cola Championship playoff final victory over Bristol City at Wembley will net the East Yorkshire club an estimated $120 million when all is said and done.

this season, by making 6 useful acquisitions to improve his squad already this summer,
