Spurs beat Villa :tim

Not that I'm shocked in anyway. I feel it should have been more than 2-0 but that Villa keeper is pretty good. Beautiful goals from Townsend and Soldado. The EPL race should be a good one this season. Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Spurs all have quality sides. United should be better and i have no idea what Moyes is doing up there but they'll get it sorted out soon. There's little room for too many fuck ups this season. But sitting in 5th while being tied for 4th isn't a bad place to be in October. Fucking City and their great GD. But still 3 points back of Arsenal and 1 behind Chelsea and Liverpool while being 5 up on United isn't bad.

Jack Wilshere scored one of the goals of the season - amazing build up from Arsenal.

Yeah HFX, our keeper's not bad. Arsenal are interested in him apparently.

Spurs deserved to win, though I'm pretty disappointed with the way the goals were conceded. Onwards and upwards though.

TBH, I didn't mind Humphreys as much when he was on the Beeb but whenever I've seen him on BT Sport; he always seems to over do it by trying to be funny and taking mick out of the guests so go on Ginola! Don't think he'll be back on there anytime soon.

4-1 down so Holloway brings on Kevin Phillips to play left-wing. No doubt he wants pace on the wing to then cross in for his other sub, Marouane Chamakh.

Kasami's goal was MINT. The sort of goal I scored on FIFA, I'd scream at the top of my voice, doing a Ravanelli-esque celebration!

Palace struggling, can't see them staying up am afraid.

^TBH, watching it in real time, I didn't realise it had gone into the side nettings and in. It wasn't as bad as the Watford goal when the ball clearly went past the post and yet a goal was given.

The ref says he didn't suss owt because the player didn't mention anything but he's not going to is he? This happened years ago in Germany where there was a dodgy goal and the match was replayed, imagine same thing will happen here.
