Spurs take down Man City 4-1. The announcers were tireless in complaining about the missed offside call on Spurs first goal, but didn't seem to acknowledge that De Bruyne was offside on City's loan goal.

I get up at 5AM every day during the week, so 6:45 actually allowed me to sleep in a bit.

Lots of good matches this weekend, especially Sunday. Chelsea - Southampton looks to be a very interesting game. If they play like last weekend, the Saints could win. Jose, can your team play -2?

kun aguero goes off for five goals against newcastle! vardy on the scoresheet again for leicester.

Joel Goodson · Oct 3, 2015

Saints! Chelsea: shambles. Loving the EPL this season. Lots of parity.

LC has been fun to watch. Mahrez has been lights out.

Aguero: really, really good

Newcastle: not so much

TheFlyingIllini1317 · Oct 3, 2015

Great day for me personally Crystal Palace won, Aguero is on my fantasy team, and Chelsea also lost. Still in disbelief that we have fifteen points

Joel Goodson · Oct 3, 2015

Palace has been another great surprise. Love how they've played thus far.

TheFlyingIllini1317 · Oct 3, 2015

Happy for Leicester city and it would be great if Bournemouth stayed up too.

Why? If that's the manager's decision, that's nuts.

News coming out now that Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been sacked.

Joel Goodson · Oct 4, 2015

Devastating attack by the Gunners. So much fun to watch. Made United look inept.

Sacked. I always wondered why they don't say fired over here.

Same reason they call a trunk a boot, a hood a bonnet, a truck a lorry, ad infinitum. Just makes the language richer, IMO.

i wonder if they sacked him so early so they could get jurgen klopp on board before anyone else snatched him up.

It's been going south for Rodgers for awhile, so hardly shocking. But I'm sure that Klopp's availability factored heavily. FWIW, I think JK is an excellent coach and would be a coup if Liverpool lands him.

It has been rumored that they may look at Ancelotti as well. Either one would be a big upgrade from Rodgers.
