TEN Things that have characterised this Premiership season

The season is still in its infancy, but we have already learnt plenty and had plenty of controversial points to discuss, as we begin to discover what the new season has in store for us. We have seen loads of great goals, moves, and team performances so far, as well as some pretty shocking play at times from certain clubs. A lot of matches have been competitive and hard fought, suggesting that this year will be closer than ever in the league. We have also seen some horribly one sided performances, with heavy defeats and goals flying in, due to some pretty atrocious defending.

All the signs are suggesting that this season, both at the top and the bottom of the division, is going to be closer than ever. The established names of Manchester United and Chelsea are up there fighting for the title alongside Manchester City, and you can’t write off Tottenham or Liverpool just yet, as it appears that it will be a titantic battle between the top sides this season. Things appear to be close at the bottom too, with the Premier League new boys-Norwich, QPR and Swansea-all impressing and picking up good points at the start of the season, and some of the more seasoned Premier League clubs, like Bolton and Sunderland, yet to get fully up and running.

The media circus surrounding football has seemingly gone into full overdrive this season. We have already seen Chelsea written out of the title race, Arsenal in crisis, Steve Bruce favourite to get the sack, and several other stories taken to ridiculous extremes by the press.

The season is long and things can change, but there are some distinct trends emerging that will characterise the year ahead.
