I'm off to catch my breath.
Thanks for your company. Until next time...

Who said playing at home was an advantage?
'No price can buy Stones'
Tottenham 0-0 Everton
Everton boss Roberto Martinez: "John Stones was an immense influence on what we did defensively. The reading of the game, he looks like a player who has grown in the last few weeks under the pressure and speculation.
"No price can buy him, not now. John is a big part of our plans. He has become a very mature man over the last few weeks. He has never let the team down and today was a real celebration internally. The fans know we have someone very special.
"Every single Evertonian will show that respect to him for the way he has handled the situation. You can see the signs of a future England captain."
More of that here.
'I am happy with Kane'
Tottenham 0-0 Everton
Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino: "We created a lot of chances but you need to score. It was impossible today but I am happy with the performance.
"I am happy with Harry Kane, he had two or three clear chances but I am happy. He needs to work hard and play.
"A goal will come for Harry. All strikers have spells like this and only time can do it. I trust in him."

Scott Porch: "Stones will be England's captain in the future, the fact that even if he isn't happy at Everton he is staying professional which shows that no matter what he'll put 100% every game plus potential wise he will be unreal."

'Bournemouth played very well for 10 minutes'
Bournemouth 1-1 Leicester
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri, speaking to BBC Sport: "We conceded the goal and until then we were playing well. After the goal we slowed down the tempo and had no great personality.
"There were 10 minutes when Bournemouth played very well. In the second half we put them under pressure and made some good chances. I think at the end we deserved to draw.
"It's important to take one point from a difficult match. We have a week now where the players go to their national team and when they come back we must restart with the same mentality."
'We should have got three points'
Bournemouth 1-1 Leicester
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Sport: "We were dominant for long periods but I think the injuries were key in the game, particularly in our ability to change tactically.
"They all look nasty and at the moment they are in the treatment room being assessed, although we won't know how serious they are until they get scanned.
"I think we've had a decent enough start in terms of performances. I'm a bit disappointed not to have got more points. I thought we could have got three today, but sometimes you have to be a grateful for a point."

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis: "We moved the ball too slowly when they went down to nine men.
"We tried to open it up a bit by bringing on Rickie Lambert and Callum McManaman.
"To play Manchester City and Chelsea in our first two home games, it's been a tough start. For us to be sat with four points from four games is not bad. We're happy with that."

'Proud dressing room'
Aston Villa 2-2 Sunderland
Sunderland skipper John O'Shea: "There's a lot of pride in the dressing room, when you are 2-1 down at half-time in the Premier League and pick up a point you have to be satisfied. But there is some disappointment at how we let Villa back into the game so quickly.
"Villa might think they deserved to win because they were pressing near the end but I think the draw was a fair result."
'We conceded an easy penalty'
Aston Villa 2-2 Sunderland
Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat: "We had to work very hard to get one point - and I'm pleased with the point. We had no real problem in the beginning when we led 1-0 but then we gave an easy penalty away and that allowed Villa to control the first half. We had some problems with the movement of the Villa front players - they did very well."
'We have been robbed'
Aston Villa 2-2 Sunderland
Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood : "Anyone who watched that game knows that we should have won. We had 22 shots, the keeper has pulled off a 'worldy' save and we should have had a penalty. We have been robbed.
"It definitely should have been a penalty. Younes Kaboul pulls out but there's contact - it is a penalty. My team couldn't have done any more today."

Narrow Black Cats
Aston Villa 2-2 Sunderland
Sunderland were so narrow in the first half, Aston Villa right-back Alan Hutton could have done his job from a deckchair. Wing-back Patrick van Aanholt just couldn't get forward down the left.
It hardly got any better in the second half, when their attacks down the left accounted for 15% of their forward play. Something for Dick Advocaat to think about?
Lens not in focus

Jeremain Lens might have been on the scoresheet, but he continually gave the ball away in the final third. As this graphic shows (each red arrow is Lens giving the ball away).....

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores: "We were prepared for a difficult match and we were there to resist and contain City.
"They have some high quality technical and physical players so it is hard to do that here, but we had the feeling in the first half they had a lot of problems because we defended well and restricted the space very well."

Raheem Sterling - how half-time switch worked
Man City 2-0 Watford
Raheem Sterling operated on the left of Manchester City's trio of attacking midfielders in the first half against Watford (see graphic above showing where he touched the ball).
At half-time, Jesus Navas was taken off and Silva moved from the centre to the right, with Samir Nasri coming on to play on the left and Sterling being pushed up through the middle, where almost all of his touches came after the break (see graphic below showing his touches).
While Watford adjusted, Sterling struck... scoring City's crucial opener after only 88 seconds of the second half.
Sterling off the mark for City
Man City 2-0 Watford
Raheem Sterling's first goal for Manchester City since his £49m move from Liverpool came in his fourth Premier League game for his new club, with his eighth shot at goal for City, and after 275 minutes on the pitch.
Man City - before and after half-time
Man City 2-0 Watford
Raheem Sterling (no.7), David Silva (21) and Jesus Navas (15) lined up from left to right behind Sergio Aguero (10) in City's 4-2-3-1 formation in the first half, with Silva doing a lot of work on the left.
In the second half, Silva was shifted to the right and Sterling was pushing up beyond Aguero as City's most advanced central attacker. Nasri (who is number 8) is not shown.

'We parked the bus'
Liverpool 0-3 West Ham
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "We parked the bus but we didn't put the handbrake on. There is nothing wrong with that. It means when the opponent has the ball you stop them.

Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace
The average position of the Chelsea players against Crystal Palace underlines their lack of width - and how vulnerable they are to balls over the top and behind their full-backs, like Branislav Ivanovic (number 2).
'A very bad start'
Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "Four points in four matches is a very bad start.
"In another league I would say game over. In the Premier League I don't say game over.
"Last season we were seven points ahead of second and in one month we lost the seven points. On 1 January we were on the same points as the second.
"This is the Premier League and I think it's getting more difficult than before."
'We didn't park the bus'
Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "There was a belief in us. It's difficult to try to overcome the quality of not just the team, but the manager here. We did it. You can nick a win here, you can park the bus or whatever you want to call it. I don't think we did that today. We were on the front foot and tried to hurt Chelsea as often as we could."

Former Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit, speaking to Match of the Day's Twitter team earlier: "Chelsea, at the moment, are not playing that well. A lot of it is down to the opposition finding weaknesses. That is all on Chelsea's right-hand side, especially with Ivanovic as all the attacks are going through him. If Chelsea don't do anything about it they are going to have problems.
