Week 1-3 (2016-17) - That Was The Week That Was

Only 120 days left to the next Transfer Window

It's only after the first 3 weeks that the season settles down
You get an idea of the teams who'll be up and who'll be down
Dele Alli revealed that he was changing the name on his shirt
Having no connection to his surname after years of family hurt.
The initiative on punishing fouls in the area has caused some to complain.
Mark Hughes has been critical but admits he'll have to change Stoke's game.
Lots of big money transfers as fees seem to go go through the roof
Whether it's money that's well spent, only time will be the proof.
With even Championship teams making a £20m+ deal,
Manchester Utd's signing of Pogba is now looking a steal.
Only Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea have maximum points on the board
But it's beleaguered Hull City who must take the early season award.
Big Sam wheeled the changes to his squad following the Euro disaster
Leaving out Ross Barkley he brought in Antonio, like a 'sticking plaster'.
Marcus Rashford also missed out due to 'a lack of playing time.'
But why then include Smalling and Sturridge? It surely is a crime.
The Transfer Window closed with some signings smacking of panic
There's only Jim White who glorifies in a night that turns quite manic.
At the end of the week Sergio Aguero received his 3 match ban
Which he rightly deserved for elbowing the West Ham man.
