Well, we always thought this Premiership season was going to be close, and after the weekend's matches we now have proof of that.

While the Chelsea-Liverpool match left a bitter taste in my mouth, the Manchester United-Arsenal spectacular was another experience altogether. Beautiful flowing football, combined with sublime skills and plenty of drama, this was an example of REAL English football.

The less said about Chelsea's 1-0 win over Liverpool, the better - apart from Didier Drogba's amazing turn and volley which separated the sides. What an incredible goal it was! Liverpool, meanwhile, will be hanging their heads in shame after having so many chances to win the game.

As with previous Chelsea-Liverpool league matches, the display on the field was anticlimatic. Chelsea seemed to be just walking around the park, while Liverpool were venomous - but impotent - in attack.

Back to the United-Arsenal match, what a shame that in the US, Fox waited until the third minute of the match to show the United lineup, and disturbed the action again three minutes later when they showed the Arsenal team on-screen. It reminds me of ESPN and ABC's antics from the World Cup.
