My last blog reflected on how tightly packed the league table was, a set of circumstances seemingly the result of many teams being able to beat any rival on any given day. Numerous bizarre results ever since the opening day have contributed to what has been, for the neutral, a highly entertaining start to the season.
Clearly the eye-popper this weekend is the scoreline from Stamford Bridge. Not in a long time have Chelsea been so soundly beaten and comprehensively outplayed on their own patch - the football leading to Gyan's second goal was delightful and tore the admittedly makeshift back line to shreds. Sunderland were worthy winners and will hope to use this as something of a springboard, whilst the rest of the league will have taken great interest in the chink in the Chelsea armour.
The way this season is going however, there's every likelihood that Chelsea will demolish Birmingham to look like invincible champions elect once again, whilst results will go against the Mackems and Steve Bruce's men will drop down to 12th. All this craziness is presumably the source of frustration in boardrooms and manager's offices across the land, but for those of us who are free to sit back and watch, it's great.

In other news, I've finally managed to land myself a job over here in Upside-Down Land, and the pesky work firewall does not allow access to Blogger! Curse them, the tricksy little hobbits. I will of course keep up the dedication to this fine site and hope that you do too - but unfortunately the BT gravy train glory days of getting paid to sit and write blogs all day are behind us.
Given that updates might therefore be slightly more sporadic, I'd like to invite you the beloved readership to get interactive. Let me know via the comments below or the Facebook page what you'd like to see dissected in true SubPlease style - any suggestions for bloggable topics from the world of football are welcome and encouraged. I've a few topics on the slow burner that I am going to discuss in due course, but I'd love to hear what you would want to see on here.
No it's not laziness, it's an astute awareness of engagement habits in the ever-changing socially networked world...
