Five games into the Scots Prem, and Hearts are running away with it!

The mighty Leeds are third!

We absolutely STUFFED the canaries! We slaughtered them! It was a complete walkover! There was goal galore!

We're going to win the league, we're going to win the cup, we're going to win the other cup, we're going to get the girl, kill the baddies and save the entire planet and then we're going to conquer europe.

Wow! Is the world trying to tell me something? Maybe if I put the The Final Countdown on the old stereo there'll be further clues!

That's another terrible red card decision in the Spurs game. Not a great start to the season for the refs.

So many red cards yesterday.

Are they trying to turn it into Michel Platini's fabled "non-contact" sport?

Nice move from Souness, bringing players back from injury too early so that they can play in this game. The fact that both have gone off in the first half suggests they'll be out for quite some time.

Berk.

It has, however, been a quite spirited Newcastle performance. Luque inparticular has looked quite nifty.

Well, that's something. I'm not watching it because it's on pay-per-view and I didn't get that this season.

Funny thing is, after our lack of goals, I suspect everyone would be delighted with a 0-0 here!

All our subs used after less than an hour. What's the betting we end up with ten men through injury?

What did I do wrong?

Oh, you mean Graeme Souness . . .

In all seriousness, I think it WAS a very respectable performance. They worked hard all game, and both goals were solely down to lousy slip-ups by Boumsong.

Regardless, it's the end of August, and we're in our traditional relegation position, so Fat Freddie will make his traditional managerial change.

And STILL no goals!

No it wasn't. It was on ordinary Sky Sports.

You didn't miss much - pretty dull game and a terrible refereeing performance. Ronaldo was kicked black and blue, and Van Nistelrooy's yellow for "diving" was a joke. Still a joy to watch Rooney, though.

Yeah, but I'm in Yankeeland.
