"We're all wired into a survival trip now."
Every last one of us. At least we’ve got that in common. The curtain (last curtain reference of the season!) was torn back and we’ve all been revealed – for better or worse – as desperate hoarders of those precious points.

After watching the full slate of football over the English Premier League’s opening weekend we’re all fully aware that the race is well and truly on. Newcastle looked industrious in nicking a point from an admittedly undermanned United at Old Trafford. It’s always fun being the lone man singing for dropped points in a pub titling heavily in favor of Manchester United. Newcastle ran their little hearts out and Shay Given gave a performance in goal that makes you want to rush back to watch him play yet again.

On Saturday, watching Boro brush aside an awful Spurs team was pure joy. And right along with that was the row of frowns on the Spurs fans who shuffled out after their match ended in disappointment, yet again. The true joy of the weekend came as Arsenal picked up their three points in a 1-nil win over newly promoted West Brom. Tony Mowbray promised us football and the Baggies delivered. At times, in truth, they bossed the game (although Eboue in central midfielder did better than expected, which isn’t saying an awful lot). If not for a Johan Djourou clearance off of the line, the final would have been quite different. (Quick note as well: nothing better than standing on a city street outside a football pub in your shiny new Arsenal shirt waiting for kickoff and having a guy pull up on his bike yelling, “Up The Albion!”)
