The highlights include a lot of Convey crosses. Keep this up, learn week in, week out, and he's going to be one heck of a player by the end of this season.

What a way to start the first EPL campaign. Can't wait to catch the replay on FSC. :)

Back from the game and I am knackered!

That was truly one of the most exciting, nervous, amazing games I can remember. The atmosphere was top draw, deafening at times.

First 20 minutes was a rollercoaster, so much nervous energy on the pitch the players were covering every blade of grass but simply not thinking enough to create good chances. Even when 2-0 down we were the better team and there was always confidence that we would get back in the game.

The obvious difference between the Championship and the Premier League is that one simple mistake costs you a goal. Last season that would have been a comfortable 3-0 win.

Convey had a good game, did some very good link up play with Lita & Shorey in the second half. Seol had a brilliant debut and obviously enjoys beating players but Kevin Doyle has to be man of the match, the guy is simply a superstar. He held it up, beat players, got on the end of through balls and was bringing other into the game, absolutely superb.

3rd in the Premier league.....don't know what all the worrying was about! :D
