Pulsating match, eight goals - what more could you want?

Just watch and enjoy and wonder how - of all the matches so far this season - Blackburn fans thought this was the most appropriate game to call for Paul Ince’s head. It could easily have been 4-4.
United’s sublime passing move for their fourth and Carlos Tevez’s volleyed fifth are both a joy to behold. Careful not to slobber your breakfast down your clothes.
There is no point getting us all excited by thrashing Sheffield United and Wigan if you are going to lose to Burnley. And Lukas Fabianski - one of the stars of the young Gunners campaign thus far - handed the Clarets their opener by very kindly pushing the ball into the path of Kevin McDonald.
When Derby met Leeds in the Carling Cup last night, the fans of both sides realised they had something in common. The self-deprecating Rams and Whites followers joined forces for a stirring chorus of “we’re not famous anymore.”!
Ex-Chelsea full-back is hugging the touchline again
Since Roman Abramovich’s millions arrived, you expect to see a few familiar faces scattered around Stamford Bridge on matchday. What you don’t expect is to find former Chelsea and England full-back Graeme Le Saux working as a pitchside photographer, complete with back-to-front baseball cap, fluorescent vest and huge camera.
Featuring a wonderful solo goal from Didier Drogba, an equaliser from a very happy Ade Akinbiyi and a missed penalty from John Obi Mikel to hand victory to Burnley.
I don’t think I have used the word exquisite yet on Off The Post, but I am going to now. Arsenal’s young Mexican, Carlos Vela, scored an exquisite goal against Wigan last night as he raced onto a through ball and deftly chipped the ball over both the sliding tackle of Titus Bramble and the stranded Chris Kirkland. Outstanding.
