Dai Average

Every Monday I'm going to write a football column.


This week the press is full of soul searching over what's wrong with society. My answer has two words: Joey Barton.
If Joey Barton came looking for a job with you would you employ him? I doubt it. He's exactly the kind of self centered hooligan we've been hearing so much about. And now he's shown us that in adition to that hes a cowerd.
They way he went down like some gay drama queen to get that African lad sent off made me ashamed to be British.


In the Premier league:
 Man Utd showed us why they will be champions again this year- they should have put WBA out of the game in the first 30 minutes. They kept on plugging away and deserved the 3 points. 


QPR walked the Championship last year, and promptly got mauled by a very average team in the shape of Bolton- the gulf in class between Prem and championship is just so obvious. Even Norwich only managed a draw at Wigan ( who are pretty much of the calibre of the teams they were beating easily last year).


Liverpool and Chelsea looked rusty, and Arsenal lacked the imagination to break down Newcastle.


Goal of the day: Larsson (Sunderland).


Dai's predictions: Champions- Man Utd
Next 3: Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham
For the drop: Wigan, Norwich, QPR


Cardiff top the championship and their rabid 'fans' must be thinking  ' here we go again...' They'll bottle it in April again for sure.
