One chance, one goal. That's what you get with a player of Andrei Shevchenko's outstanding quality. And that's what the striker delivered on his Chelsea debut.

I’m getting fed up these days with all these prima donna cry baby footballers always wanting their own way. Every day I read about another footballer that is refusing to turn up for training, or wants to move clubs, or has been photographed in another teams shirt.

So the new England era has started under Steve McClaren. I’m the first to admit that I wasn’t too excited about the prospect of Steve McClaren becoming the new national coach but so far I have been very impressed!!

Calamity James has told Stuart Pearce he wishes to leave Manchester City with immediate effect. The man with holes in his gloves is believed to have a girlfriend in the South of England that he wishes to spend more time with, and I wouldn‘t be at all surprised if he turned up at Harry Redknapps Portsmouth within the next week or so

Arsene Wenger isn’t too happy about Sol Campbell’s move to Fratton Park. He happily let big Sol leave because he wanted to try playing in another country but is surprised that the centre-back has now opted to stay in the British Isles.

Burnley stand at the top of the football league after one game, merely because the table is organised alphabetically at this stage, when two teams have the same points. Yet that shouldn’t detract from the blistering start the Clarets got off to against idea less QPR

And so it begins. Sven "Mr. Burns" Eriksson has gone, and a new man with a bizarre balding head of hair has taken over. The colour may be different but the message is still the same: "Yes I’ve lost some hair, but I’m not bald!"
