The Grab Bag: Saturday

Premiership action is back after the UEFA Euros 2008 qualifying break, and thank god we've finally got some meaningful football.

I've been absent for the past week or so, both due to our publishing issues and the Detroit Tigers winning the pennant for the first time since 1984. I know we're not a baseball site, but I figured I had to give some sort of explanation for AC doing most of the work recently (thanks AC).

So it's with my heart still thumping with excitement that I give you the Grab Bag for today.

Jose Mourinho's upset about something again, which gives us something to talk about. Two keepers knocked out? What're the chances?
