So the start of the premiership has caught all the headlines with liverpool losing two games already, burnley beating man utd, drogba and anelka showing they can play together and harry rednapp s spurs topping the standings. Oh and jolean lescott moving for a ridiculous amount of money…….

Other headlines have caught us….

1/ The stabbing of west ham footballer callum davenport apparently by his sisters boyfriend. Stabbed twice in each leg, and left in a pool of blood, maybe leading to him never playing again or even having his leg removed. Shocking incident. A fellow teammate at norwich, get well soon buddy.

2/The courage showed by west ham footballer jack collision to play in match against millwall literally 48 hours after his fathers death from a motorcycle accident. Young jack, a fellow welsh team mate broke down in tears after the match and will need his loved ones around him too be strong…. My thoughts are with you buddy.

3/The shocking scenes in match between west ham v millwall in the carling cup match. Apparent stabbings again before the match, trouble and fighting during the match, pitch invasions, and trouble again after the match. These two teams are bitter rivals but do we really need this? Shocking scenes that can be seen on tv. We want this kicked out of football for good. Never let these hooligans watch football again.

4/ sol campbell signs 5 year deal at notts county at age of 34. Under sven s guidance he believes they can play in premier league in next few years. Not swayed by money, but purely a footballing decision. Strange move, but everyone has their reasons.

5/swansea end up with 7 men in cup tie. Surely a referee cant send off 4 men in one match can he? Obviously he can, but i get the feeling that he wanted the be the headline of the match and not the actual game!!! 

Just some headline making news…….
