Cardiff City 0 - 2 Leeds United

job done here today. We knew we would be up against a C but decided to go back to a P for this one, thinking we’d have enough to have tactical advantage against us as well as being away. My confidence was repaid by a solid performance. It wasn’t as flashy as a few of our games previous to this but but we got the job done and continued our excellent form. Hopefully we can keep this going. Focus turns to Monday.
well played mate, all the best bud

Tottenham 2 West Ham 0

Great win for us again against a team better on paper than us, we continue what is a great start but a very very long way to go!

Chelsea 1-0 MANCHESTER UNITED

This was just one of those games unfortunately where you deserved more than you got. Chelsea got an early goal and we had more chances just couldn't score despite countering our opponent for large chunks of the tie even against a back up 'keeper. On another day we get what we deserve but the misery was compiled with another goal getting disallowed for us as time drew to a close. I can't say much, maybe bemoan the poor finishing a little, but we couldn't do much more in the game it was just one of those games. It's more frustrating that we've missed out on 3 goals in two games which completely change the horizon of the squad position.

It appears people believe we should be concerned with out start to the season, we've had one bad and maybe had we got an extra few abs from an R1 cup game, we'd be in a different position all together. It's all ifs, ands, and buts, but we're not concerned after 4 games, it's a long season and we've had worse starts than this.

We know we have to improve, and that we will!

Chelsea 1 - 0 Man United

The last time I faced SteveO it was in the semi finals of the CL with Madrid, and we soundly beat them. However, I'm not at Real Madrid now and I always see Outten as a good challenge for sure so we definately took the time to plan for this one.

The prem report media by Tim summed up the game better than I can to be honest.

Chelsea suffered an injury to key defensive mid Sanches, but took the lead through our buy from PSG Lamptey, before our goalkeeper also got injured 1/3 of the game in. Despite this we held on to win the game and secure our first three points of the season, although we are still unbeaten - however this might change now looking ahead.

It was an odd game in that Man United must have got most of their shots on target in on our first team keeper, but then when our sub Ratti came on United was wateful and wide, failing to take advantage. Man United themselves though showed in the Champions League final a couple of seasons back that it is possible to win with no issues with a sub keeper, and we did that today verses a good team so I am very happy with the result.

Cardiff City 0 - 2 Leeds United

Cardiff City's manager, Matt Rose, expressed frustration following their 2-0 defeat to Leeds United at the Cardiff City Stadium. The match saw Cardiff fall behind in the 25th minute when V_Osimhen capitalised on a defensive lapse. Despite Cardiff's spirited attempts to level the score, including a close effort from M_Götze, they were unable to breach Alisson's goal.

The second half began disastrously for Cardiff, as a mistake by goalkeeper R_Allsop allowed S_Chukwueze to score in the 47th minute. Rose's tactical changes and substitutions, including bringing on D_Ćaleta-Car and M_Brozović, aimed to shift the momentum but proved ineffective against a disciplined Leeds side. Despite Cardiff's 41% possession and several key tackles, they couldn't find the back of the net. Rose admitted post-match that improvements are needed, particularly in finishing and maintaining defensive focus.

Aston Villa 2 - 2 Arsenal

The game has seen a merry go round of Managers during the pre season with Managers from the lesser EFL eague option to join the elite in FFO and next up or Arsenal was one of those sides Aston Villa who parted ways with Ian Greaves and bringing in the experienced Keith Drummond to steer the Vila Park ship going forward.

Both Villa and Arsenal have had similar starts to the season so its no surprise that a tough fought out game ended in a point a piece which will maybe disappoint The Gunners when you look at the chances they created but none the less, a good result away at a tough fixture in the league and the fact it took a 89th minute penalty to rescue a point, you wont ear many from Arsenal saying they were hard done by. The first Gunners goal coming from Defender Schlotrbeck.

The Arsenal boss spoke after the game ;

" Under Ians management, Villa were a tough side to break down and Keith has certainly continued that trend and had a very good start to the season and life in the Premiership. We created some good chances and maybe a little bit frustrated not to have taken more than we did but we found ourselves chasing the game and we were fortunate to get a late penalty to get a draw which is pretty much a fair reflection of where both sides are right now and the starts that both have had to the season ".

Played mate, best of luck for the season.
