Top 10 Stories of the Weekend

1. Arsenal have problems, a poor result against Fulham leaves the Londoners trailing Liverpool, Chelsea and possibly Man Utd by tonight.

2. Set-pieces are where it's at for the smaller teams. Rory Delap's l-o-n-g throws secured victory for Stoke against Aston Villa, and Fulham's well-worked corner gave them the winning goal against Arsenal.

3. Tottenham have serious problems, including a big Dracula-shaped one in the stands. Juande Ramos needs to sell Berbatov, get Arshavin in, and stop the rot before their season is ruined.

4. Mido is rejuvenated. Two goals in two games for the big-boned Egyptian. Unfortunately, his stunning strike against Liverpool didn't earn any points for his team.

5. Mr-T, oh wait its Djibril Cisse, an excellent signing for Sunderland (but if you make as many signings as Roy Keane you are bound to get a good one every now and again!). A debut goal and I expect many more to follow. Kenwyne Jones to return also, I see goals at the Stadium of Light.

6. Deco is a wonderful addition to the Premier League, showing he still is top class player. A great free-kick against Wigan. Shame he plays for Chelski. Sorry.

7. Elano is another Brazilian-born player currently lighting up the league. His two goals against Manchester City secured victory against a very poor West Ham. Micah Richards was taken off with a concussion but looks OK to return for next weekend's game.

8. Alan Curbishley could well be out of a job before October—unless he can keep Anton Ferdinand, make a few more signings and turn the West Ham ship around. Tall order ay?

9. Mark Noble, oh dear! He picked up a first-half sending off for two bookable offences, including a handball on the halfway line to pile the pressure on Alan Curbishley.

10. The bookmaker who paid out on Stoke getting relegated after their defeat to Bolton will have a sleepless week, as they looked great against Aston Villa. Do we have an early contender for goal of the season, Ricardo Fuller?
