Martin O' Neill will have his first press conference as Republic of Ireland manager at 1.p.m today. I believe the fact that he is the new boss of the national team and that Roy Keane is his assistant is exciting for Irish football. I am cautiously optimistic about the news.
O'Neill and Keane's involvement should help to generate more interest in the Irish soccer team from the general public which is important. All of a sudden next Friday's friendly against Latvia is a lot more appealing that it would have been.
However there are 10 more Premiership games to be played this weekend. The standout fixture is Manchester United v Arsenal at Old Trafford. Arsenal outclassed Liverpool last Saturday, particularly in midfield, while United beat Fulham comfortably. It is 3 points for the correct score and 1 point for the right result. 10 points were achieved last week.
Saturday
Aston Villa v Cardiff (1-1)
Chelsea v West Brom (2-0)
Crystal Palace v Everton (1-2)
Liverpool v Fulham (3-0)
Southampton v Hull (2-1)
Norwich v West Ham (0-0)
Sunday
Spurs v Newcastle (1-0)
Sunderland v Manchester City (1-3)
Manchester United v Arsenal (1-1)
Swansea City v Stoke City (1-1)
