The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly: Premiere League Edition (9/27-9/28)

It lends an air of authority, if not success....


The Good: WTF Wigan won?? Yes, you read right, even Drogba's centennial strike couldn't save Chelsea's 100% record. The Blues certainly did not look like league leaders, and that, in large part, was due to the Latics outstanding display. Paul Scharner's finishing touch made sure of the Latics' first win against a top four side...ever...and it was a well deserved one at that. So Congrats!

Honorable mention to Fernando Torres: We may not like your frosted tips, but we can't hate on a superb showing against Hull and your ability to nearly single-handedly cover up the Reds' shoddy defense.

The Bad: Hapless Hull City - The above kudos to Torres is the yin to the yang of the hellish Hull experience at Anfield. Not even Phil Brown's spiffy headset could distract from the atrociousness of the scoreline.

(Dis) Honorable mention to Man Utd's Valencia: Seriously? How can you miss that ish? Seriously?

The Fugly: Pitiful Pompey - It's hard for us to find the words to adequately describe the hot tranny mess that is Portsmouth these days. Take the worst start in Premiere League history (after an unlucky loss versus Everton, they have racked up a grand total of zero points through seven rounds), then add to that significant financial uncertainties and front office rumblings, and you are left with a side that is still searching for its first points this season.
