    Lazio played a truly terrible game, but eventually managed to win one way or another.

    Real Sociedad expetedly was too much for Rosenborg. It was one of the most one sided contests I have seen in a while. Now Real Madrid is the next wictim at Aboeta. By the looks of it, 'La Real' (Sociedad) will be favorites in that game.

    RBK will surely have a chance against Vardar and maybe even Zenit. At Sociedad was the toughest game.

    I think so too. They have been tremendous form so far this season and are very strong at Anoeta. Many top teams will struggle there this season.

    Unfortunately some stupif Cologne fans delayed the game. The majority of them is actually very nice. Have been in Cologne very often. The fans are really friendly and they are usually great but peacefull supporters. Hope, Europe won't get a wrong impression now.

    Have been there many times as well and always enjoyed it.
    The problem with such troublemakers is that even though they make up a minority, they damage the overall reputation of an entire fan base. Unfortunately as a Lazio fan, I know that it works like that.

    Not a great game by Rosenborg last night. Hoped for an 3-0 loss at most, but of course the fourth one went in the net as well. I really hope they deliver a better result in the games against Vardar and Zenit.

    Didn't look too good for Arsenal after the first half, either, but luckily Kolašinac found the net in the second half, with two more goals from Sánchez and Bellerín. Ok result in the end.


    And Roy's back! Brede Hangeland wrote some nice words on Hodgson on TV2's PL-blog. He clearly has a great deal of respect for the man. For non-Norwegian readers, you can probably Google Translate this one.

    Bournemouth 1 - 1 Brighton a quarter of the match to go, vital equaliser by Bournemouth and a cracking piece of play

    This has been one boring match up until the first goal.

    True though alot on the line for Bournemouth, last quarter it's ramped up

    Great second for Bournemouth stadium is buzzing after that

    Good effort from Defoe. Three points tonight will be very valuable for Howe and his team.

    Another week. Another opportunity to see the officials let Man City do whatever the heck it wants.

    They could be adrift at the bottom after only 8 games.

    Well done..good to see the Canaries 'singing' again...belong in the Premiership and one of my favourite teams. @RogueAgent

    Liverpool drew again so be prepared for a Wiz rant at some point ,as the defence cocked up again apparantly. @TheWizardOfIce

    But i'm saying nothing as my beloved Arsenal are away at Chelski tomorrow...thank God my other half is making a roast chicken Sunday dinner,i think i might need it.

    Good one! Sheffield Utd look to be on a roll at the moment, so that must be some good three points. Did Tettey play?

    And can you believe it, @barryt007; Swansea defended themselves to a point against Sp*rs! No matter the result tomorrow, that one put a big smile on my face. Thank you, Paul Clement!

    You are very welcome, but don't thank me, thank Paul Clement! Wenger could learn a thing or two from him about defending!
