Very pleased to hear that my home town club Wrexham have been allowed to start the season as well. Been a fan since the late 70's and I was worried that they were going to go the way of their neighbours Chester City

It would've been very sad had they gone under, so great to know that not only are they still going, but they are doing really well at the moment!
What are peoples' opinions on how the Premier League is going so far? If results so far are anything to go by, my prediction of the League being between Man Utd and Man City is coming true. But it is still very early days yet.
One player I have particularly noticed doing the business is Ashley Young. I've always rated him, but had my doubts as to whether he could step up and fulfil his potential, but if he keeps going the way he is, he's on route to becoming World-Class.
Very pleased with the start Liverpool have made. At first, I was bewildered as to why Dalglish had bought so many Midfielders, but now I can see why. Too many times in recent years, Liverpool have looked lost without Gerrard. He is getting older and more injury prone, so now they have plenty of options to make up for it. All new signings are playing well and Suarez is amazing. Could do with toning down the ease with which he goes down under some challenges but you could say that about so many Footballers these days. I'm confident that they are Top Four bound, especially if they manage to get Coates and he lives up to the hype.
As for Arsenal, am I the only one who thinks that too much is being made of their defeat yesterday? Granted it got a bit embarrassing and Wenger probably could've done with buying players sooner (although the topic of buying players and principles of not paying over the odds is another discussion entirely, which I'll leave for now), but I can imagine them buying at least two quality, experienced players before the Transfer Window closes.
People saying he needs to go are crazy and fickle beyond belief. If Ferguson understands his sheer quality as a manager, what he is trying to do and is willing to acknowledge it in public (along with having a nice dig at the Media whilst he was at it!), then that should tell you everything. Even if they do get rid of him, who do they replace him with?
I actually think it's one of their rivals in Tottenham who should be more concerned. They lost 5-1 at Home with their best side out. Are the players they have bought and may end up buying really going to improve them that much?
I feel sorry for both clubs actually. They have both had absolute mare of pre-seasons because of other players getting mardy and wanting to leave despite the fact that they already earn sickening amounts of money (Modric for Tottenham, Nasri and to a lesser extent, Fabregas for Arsenal). The constant media reports about them, where they are moving to, plus the other things that come from it. (Redknapp has come out and said that Modric was telling him at 11:30am yesterday that he wasn't sure if he felt right to play against Man City).
