Well after a break for international duty the Premier league returns as does the Championship as well. there has'nt been a great deal to talk about in the last 2 weeks.
Zola has taken the job as manger at West Ham and says he'll be in charge of transfer decisions not the money men.
Arsene Wenger said that money is destroying the game referring to the new owners on Man City and the amount they intend on spending is crazy, I kind of agree with him.
But the best part about today will be Man Utd vs Liverpool and Man City vs Chelsea as this will be the first games for Robinho and Berbatov at their new clubs.

Berbatov transfer news as at 22.45 1st Sept 2008
Man Utd really look favourites now to clich deal by midnight as they have not only matched the offer made by City but put in a player to swap to sweeten the deal. Unconfirmed reports suggest that it could be Campbell could be in White Hart Lane, Utd have played their cards close to their chest tonight and made no official statements as yet
Latest Berbatov transfer news
As at 19.50 tonight it looks like Man Utd will put forward a winning bid to gazump Man city. The deal is believed to be the asking price and worth more than City's offer.
This is the preferred move for the player as he had made his intention known earlier this season about a move to Utd . But Utd wont stroll through transfer as Man City are hot on their heels so as I said earlier right to the wire with this one keep a look out at around 10 pm tonight as all should be done and dusted (then again?)

Berbatov, time to go.
So this is what its come to. Premier League clubs paying top wages to players and you get a pre Madonna like Berbatov saying he wont play , well if Ramos doesn't get rid of him then it'll be the biggest mistake made this season for Spurs. He has to get someone up front as he'll loose is second striker already loosing Keane to Liverpool and he'll probably loose Berbatov to Man Utd this coming week. The "take it or leave it offer" from United of £25m is more than generous for the forward, so come on Ramos pull your finger out.
Ramos isn't quick to make a deal and stalls just look at the Bentley deal and how long he screwed around with that, so don't expect speedy replacements for strikers at White Hart Lane.
