Salah the victim of a slow-news season?

Down but not out... Salah

FOR the self-proclaimed most exciting, richest, most interesting, most watched, most talked-about, toughest, quickest, most skillful competition in the entire history of club football, the opening exchanges of the 2025-26 Premier League have been fairly mundane. Nearly everyone has sort of done okay.

Wolves are the only team without a win but they are happy with their coach, so no real dramas, and while there have been a couple of managerial departures, neither truly came out of left-field. Form-wise, after seven match-days, the promoted three have managed to collect six wins between them, which is half the amount won by last season’s promoted three in an entire campaign.

Manchester United are getting a lot of flak but are two points and four places better off than they were at this point of their last campaign. Ahead of the eighth round of Premier League fixtures, Arsenal are a point shy of last season’s tally, Liverpool and Chelsea are three short while Manchester City are four short.
