Rumblings and Bumblings

Some early thoughts on the new Premiership season:

- West Ham's Bobby Zamora is a hard-working player. But that's about the only positive thing that I can say about him. This guy seems to panic whenever an opposing player is five feet away from him, and I just couldn't count the number of times he has given possession (as well as fouls) away. And he was the culprit who, for the umpteenth time in the game, gave away possession and allowed Manchester City's new signing Geovanni to put the icing on the cake for a 2-0 victory.

- The same can be said for Liverpool's Momo Sissoko. For some reason he always forgot his job was thwarting the opposition's attack instead of joining the attack. And his foolish decision to take a free-kick quickly in the dying seconds of the team's 2-1 victory at Aston Villa almost cost the Reds dear.

- Finally, there is a transfer that I am dying to see. Blackburn Rovers OUGHT TO sell Matt Derbyshire to the newly-promoted Derby County. The reason? Joining the Rams would make Derbyshire the first (and probably the only ever) player to have his name both at the back and front of his jersey.
