Leicester City are top of the Premiership.

This is not some oddity on the first day of a new season when the Foxes happened to play the early match, beat Stoke 1-0 and go above all those still in alphabetical zero hell. No. Leicester have won matches. Loads of them. Jamie Vardie has scored in 10 consecutive matches, a feat only achieved once before, by Ruud Van Nistelrooy. And he’s not even fully fit.

Manchester City looked simply awful against Liverpool on Saturday, who in turn looked sublime. Chelsea won a game. The fact that is even worth mentioning indicates the weirdness of this season. Because they haven’t won many.

Arsenal lost a match and yet another player to injury. Their 26th so far, out of a squad of 29. Next weekend Wenger’s cleaning lady is playing holding midfield and Martin Keown is being brought back to the defence.

Manchester United are shit, dull, drab and boring. But keep winning in very unspectacular fashion. As they did at Watford.

And Spurs…

What about Spurs? We beat West Ham. In case you missed that, or didn’t hear me screaming all afternoon. And we beat them well. But most importantly, we played brilliantly. Stylishly, effectively, mercilessly, and it all paid off. 12 matches unbeaten. Wonderful. The team look confident, play well and most importantly, they look fit. 95 minutes of high pressing football takes its toll, yet press they did. Let’s hope that after our Europa match on thursday we can produce the same energy against Chelsea next weekend.

Everton look good, but there again Aston Villa look awful, new manager or not, so most teams look pretty good against them.

West Ham, without Payet, looked awful too. Spurs played well but West Ham looked decidedly uncomfortable throughout. Some would say that was a good thing.

And Barcelona beat Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabau. Messi only came on as a late sub, when they were already 3-0 up and Madrid had given up, because he’s been injured. You can imagine how that must have gone down in Madrid. We’re 3-0 down and can’t even get the ball and oh, here comes the world’s best player for a run-a-round.

But there’s a malaise at Real this year. Too many good players. They don’t know how to accommodate them all in the same team at the same time. What a terrible problem. What do I do with the two most expensive players in the world? Ronaldo wants to come to Spurs. To be a bench-warmer for Harry Kane.

What a super weekend

Happy Monday
