Mr. K it a pleasure ?.This season is going to blow your socks off ?amongst other things .....

Well it was certainly a baptism of fire for the newly promoted to the Premier League; Queens Park Rangers looked like they had been beaten senseless after a four nil kneeing in the doo dahs.

I watched this match on sky from Bolton?s Cahill superb 25-yard curved peach of a shot to Gabbidon's slotting into his own net, Klasnic's glancing third and Muamba forth, then Clint Hill doing a Zidane head butting Petrov in the chest.
QPR is owned by F1 moneybags Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore, rumored to have a combined wealth of close to ?2billion, all these tight arsed twosome gave up for team investment was ?1.25m. Bernie Ecclestone?s daughters spend more on their shoes.

Ok I am going into one so let?s move onto Norwich who came away with a point at Wigan (1 ?1), it was about as exciting as watching my grandmother knitting, both teams seemed to be playing for a draw.

At least one could have some sympathy for Swansea, great for fish and chips, new promoted to the premiership and debut against money no object Man C, mind you Swansea did momentarily impress but Sergio Aguero scored twice on his first outing in a city shirt with Dzeko and Silva adding two more after rattling away at the woodwork, Man C will be the side to watch.

I am not talking about Chelsea, or Arsenal (both drew)?.I will pick that up at the weekend ?.

No I want to talk about Fabregas, the departing words ringing in Arsene Wengers ears ?who wouldn't want to play for Barcelona?, and if you happened to be Cesc Fabregas, born virtually on the steps of the Nou Camp maybe you would.

Well that depends on one perspective, the anguish Wenger must have felt at the sight of the full embrace Fabregas gave to Guardiola after taking a pay cut must have been telling, there is certainly no doubt that of all the disappointment Wenger must have felt in recent months was polarized in that one moment. I cannot imagine that anything could rival the emotional devastation implicit on Wengers face with the departure of his prot?g?. after all he had nurtured Fabregas since his 16th Birthday, it is not difficult to feel that Fabregas has betrayed the man who invested so much in the pursuit of excellence in one of football's truly great midfielders.

But a word of caution to Fabregas, I won?t even try to justify the Spanish Super Cup Barcelona 3 Real Madrid 2 as a football match Fabregas was hacked to the ground by Marcelo, a two-footed lunge, Mezut Ozil appeared to stamp on another player followed by the violent protesting by David Villa earned all three red cards.However it was the mass brawl involving both sets of players and both benches and made all feel sick. Jose Mourinho brawled openly with Barcelona assistant coach Tito Villanova as players and technical staff punched and scuffled away on the touchline.

And check this out ?. La Liga strike to go ahead as talks collapse in Spain?

Quote: The Spanish league had been scheduled to start this weekend but around 200 players in the top two divisions have not been fully paid by cash-strapped clubs, some of which are in bankruptcy protection. Players are said to be owed up to ?43m in unpaid salaries?..
