Premier League Round-up

This first week of fixtures saw some exciting games including Liverpool v Spurs, Man Utd v Watford and Arsenal v Newcastle. Here is my round-up on this weekend's fixtures. Fulham v Manchester City Whenever Man City go anywhere after an International Break, they often batter the team they play against. This was no exception. Fulham needed to go into this game probably needing maximum points to have any hope of staying up but gave the ball away far to often in the first half and conceded 2 goals they probably set up themselves. Bernardo Silva scored the first and Aguero scored the second. Second half saw City relax a bit more but should have scored more. Glad I got my prediction pretty close. Is time up for Fulham? I Predicted: 1-3 Final Score: 0-2 MOTM: Aguero, high intensity all game gifted with a goal. Brighton v Southampton A proper relegation clash. To be fair, it was a pretty low key affair. Not much really happened with both team registered 3 shots on target combined....

Welcome

Right, well. Here we go. A blog on sport. Surprise, Surprise. So, what's so special to this blog compared to others. Not a lot. Probably not the way to introduce this blog. Now... okay. How about I introduce myself. Sounds like an idea that won't go wrong. I am Alex. Good start. I am a huge sport fanatic. Going well. I enjoy watching local football be it Premier League or Non-League and referee at a lower level as well. I also play cricket for my local side and play and watch several other sports from Badminton to Bowls. Now it fair to say that neither Badminton or Bowls will be the highlight of this blog which leads nicely on to the main sports this will blog will contend. Football in the winter months and Cricket in the summer months. Why I hear no one ask? They are popular and easy to write about. That won't take away from other sports like Athletics, Rugby etc. but football and cricket will be the ones that will predominantly appear in the weekly round-up. I feel now it...
