EPL Week 4 results, news, etc.

A mixed bag this week. A couple of really great games and then not so much.

The Man U/Arsenal game was crazy. Bad reffing all around, thankfully to the advantage of the Red Devils.

A couple of notes for Fantasy players:
1. Luca Modric (Tottenham) has broken his leg and is out for six weeks
2. Cesc Fabregas should be fine for next week's game
3. Glen Johnson (Liverpool) is an outstanding defender and will score a few goals before too long... see #4.
4. Have Liverpool and, consequently, Stephen Gerrard, finally woken up? Stevie G's 82nd minute game winner was incredible and usually a result like this spurs a big streak. Look out for 'Pool against Burnley next week.
5. Stephen Ireland just picked up an injury in the Man City game... not sure how that will affect him tomorrow, much less next week.
6. Speaking of City, Adebayor scored again... hard not to pick him up.
7. Chelsea continue their unquestioned dominance... 3-0 against Burnley. One of the people in my league has three of Chelsea's best and has ridden them to 1st place so far. Ballack is starting to look worth the money for once and Drogba is just sick on the field right now.
8. Portsmouth are still terrible. If you have any PFC player on your squad, you should be ashamed.
9. Stephen Hunt (Hull) pulled in some more points this week. You absolutely need to have this guy on your team at 5.5 or so.
10. Look for Arsenal to take out their frustration next week on Man City. I say 3-1... you saw it here first. Incidentally, this will be the match of the week, as it is the first time Man City will match up against one of the Big Four.
