STOKE 2 - BURNLEY 0
BLACKBURN ROVERS 0 - MANCHESTER CITY 2
Well, the opening day of the season has been and gone.
I think the Burnley and City results were probably fairly predictable. Didn't see either game but made do with MOTD highlights.
Match report from official club website here Stoke City 2 v Burnley 0
Burnley worked hard, as they always do, missed Caldwell and were probably unlucky to be beaten by 2 goals. Its gonna be a long season. I was at my dads when the game was on. No real suprise when Stoke scored but a real sense of dissapointment when they got the second. I think this season is all about expectation. I don't think any Burnley fans really expect it to be anything other than a massive struggle against relegation. They just hope against hope that there will be some good news along the way. And so do I.
Nice match report from Alastair Campbell who makes an interesting if not entirely convincing case as to why Burnley are not in the bottom 3. Alastair Campbell's Turf Moor Diaries
City were put to the test by Blackburn who never let City settle and were probably a bit unlucky not to get something out of the game. However City found two great finishes and won a match which in previous seasons they would easily have lost. The performance was good and Mark Hughes falling over at the end when he went to shake Allardyce's hand was a corker. It actually looks like Allardyce has found some kind of martial arts move which can throw a man just by shaking his hand. You can see Sparky's breakdance routine here. Sparky's Fall
