Whatever happens in this game, I am very very impressed with Southampton indeed!

3-2 cracker. Thought. I might be a bit tepid for the PL after Olympics, but found room to love them both

Wonder how many Football Ramble listeners simultaneously said " Ricky Lambert celebrate" after the Saint's first.

Ouch...that doesnae look good for Aguero

Seconded, that was nasty. Knee appeared to twist in and then back out, it's easy to be cynical at first but his hand went up straight away and despite a real attempt to get back on it's feet it wasn't happening.

Best player in the PL IMO. Hope he's not out for too long. Utd could consider themselves unlucky with injuries last season (Fletcher, Vidic, Cleverly, etc.) they may feel some justice if the coin falls the other side this season, but I want to see the two teams at full strength fighting it out.

Loved seeing Liverpool getting battered, AVB starting ouit at Spurs where he left off at Chelsea and Arsenal drawing... not a bad first weekend.

Difficult opening game for United against a very resolute Everton team. Some good points to take - De Gea was absolutely brilliant, a totally different player from the one who started last season. I'd preferred to have seen RvP make his debut at Old Trafford, but what the heck, at least he got some playing time. This is by no means a disaster but some of the players need to pull their socks up (yes, i'm talking to you Nani!). I think we'll need a few games more until we get our rythm going, especially with new players in the team.

But well done Everton!

Cracking game last night I thought. Goodison was rocking, Everton were dangerous and defended quite heroically when they needed to. As for Utd, despite them maintaining good possession they looked surprisingly lacklustre for most of the game. A lot of the players seemed off the pace.

They thing I do not understand about them is, they'll put in a heroic performance like last night, but whenever they face Liverpool they roll over, or deconstruct. I'd like to see them put in a similar performance against them, if they did they'd win against any team not just United. United and City can expect to get this sort of difficult game against a lot of team's this season, as they see it as a big scalp to take.

We nearly always bugger up against Liverpool. I don't know whether it's because we try to change our style against them or what but we regularly get blasted off the park.

That said, it's not just against Manchester Utd that we raise our game. In the run-in last season (against the top ten league finishers), we drew with Manchester Utd 4-4, beat Manchester City 1v0, Tottenham 1-0, Chelsea 2-0, Newcastle 3-1, Fulham 4-0 and West Brom 2-0. We only lost to Arsenal 0-1 (in a game we deserved something from) and Liverpool 0-3 (where we completely capitulated)!

Am I the only one not THAT surprised?

Maybe it�s my eternal pessimism but much like the game against Wigan early bombastic but we start to dwindle and the opposition drive at us�

Cech has a moment of wtf something that happens a lot more than I think people realise and Torres looks off the pace�Terry is doing his job but�not to keep going on and on about it but seriously if we want to win the League or in fact anything this Season we need to improve our defence or at least get a better minder for them.

Hazard looks dangerous when we have the ball.

Still it�s this sort of scenario (even though it�s only the 2nd game) where Di Matteo has to prove himself or he�ll be out of the job a lot quicker than even I anticipate.

Hazard is kicking arse already - looks a superb signing. I get the feeling the Reading match will be a sign of things to come this season for Chelsea, scoring and shipping tons of goals!

perhaps Solbakken has got incriminating photographs of MON and Big Sam. it's the only explanation.

To be fair, Jarvis for �10.75m is infinitely less baffling than Downing for �20m. Fletcher has been massively overvalued by Sunderland though, especially since the fee could rise to �14m and there's probably a sell-on clause too.

Not that I mind, like
