Five games in.

Five game weeks into the season and a lot has happened. The transfer window is closed. Liverpool is on top of the log (Makes me sick to my stomach to say that). My fantasy team is in big trouble. Louis Saha is back from injury and scored on his first time out again. Chelsea lost their first game away at Villa Park. Man City have lost back to back games. The list can go on forever and that is why we love the FAPL because of its unpredictability.

Having said that I still find that I have not loved a Man United game as yet. You know, that feeling of utter satisfaction. Yes our first three games were great we played some good ball but we never won any of them. We ‘just’ beat Spurs last week and this weekend we only scored one at home to Sunderland. I didn’t write a match report on the game, there was just not enough to say about it. Saha came on the field the second half though and changed the dynamics of the team. I’ve said it from the beginning we need two world class players up front and it worked. Still to this day though the best 45 minutes of football we have played was the first half against Reading.

Liverpool fans are jumping up and down because of the position they are in and they are playing good football. They have started the premiership well but have only played a big team once and they drew. They should have drawn to Villa also. I cant wait to go to Anfield in December and cut them back down to size.

Im not just talking about one friend, ive been reading the 606 forums and the team talk ones and a lot of Liverpool fans are going mad. But why not you had a very good game on saturday and you should be ecstatic. The reason that a lot of Fans are not jumping up and down is because liverpool has been blowing hot and cold for a long time now and what you have been missing is consistancy.
