Bolton v Manchester City Update

Dietary update. I am quickly trying to finish my lunch (a packet of smoky bacon crisps) before this match starts. I'm pretty sure I've got all the essential food groups (smoke, bacon) covered in this one.

Preamble Good afternoon and welcome to what is already a top-of-the-table clash between the Premier League's two goal machines.

If the entire purpose of modern football is to determine which is the greatest league in the world (which you would think is the case if you listened to certain pundits) then Bolton and Manchester City did their bit last week by teaching Premier League newbies QPR and Swansea a thing or two about what life is like at the top with four-goal trouncings in their opening games.

Not only that but the Premier League has a brand new star in Sergio Agüero. Here is a man who scored twice on his debut in the greatest league in the world of all-time ever - an amazing achievement given that, coming from the Spanish league, he would have never before faced teams of the quality of Swansea City.

Agüero makes his full debut for City at the Reebok while the man he was signed to replace, Carlos Tevez, is on the bench. Tevez, you would have to say, needs to sit down and have a look at what he's achieved this summer. He's engineered a situation where he's gone from City captain to substitute. he's still stuck in Manchester and he still has to eat in the same two restaurants. Well played, sir. Well played.

Owen Coyle has named the same team that won at Loftus Road last week. Not one of the Bolton squad of 18 has asked to leave. They must have great restaurants.
