Chris Kamara praises Guy Poyet's efforts at Sunderland, tells Arsenal fans to give Robin Van Persie a break, suggests referees should explain their decisions and waves the Premier League flag after a sizzling weekend....
Liverpool were great but Fulham are in a dogfight for survival
KAMMY SAYS: Fulham are in free-fall but don't take anything away from Liverpool. Even in the second half they kept going as if it was 0-0 and showed a lot of desire - they can only beat what's put in front of them.
Fulham don't look like a side ready to roll up their sleeves and scrap and Martin Jol has to address that. He's got battlers like Scott Parker and Steve Sidwell and he needs them more than ever to start the fight back - if he's allowed to continue in the job that is. Needing stability and looking at what Jol's done before, he deserves to carry on until it looks ridiculous. Nobody expected them to win at Liverpool but it's the manner of the defeat which is the problem.
Jol will know his fate is in the lap of the gods. But looking at the club's owner Shahid Khan, his NFL club Jacksonville Jaguars have a worse record than Fulham and he hasn't pulled the trigger there so perhaps he may survive!
Dimitar Berbatov is a wonderful player and it's been a masterstroke to give him the captain's armband to see if that gave him the spark to defend more. If you're looking for players to battle and scrap then you don't pick him but the Premier League is different. If Fulham are dominating the ball and getting it to him then he can change a game in a second. For that I would always have him on the pitch but you then have to make allowances. You have 10 players defending - closing down people is not his game. People are now looking for excuses at Fulham, but it's not just Berbatov not performing.
Spurs may have been unlucky but Newcastle's Tim Krul was an inspiration
KAMMY SAYS: What a performance by Krul in goal! You see those unbeatable performances every so often. You get a bit of luck as well where the ball hits you in the face or defenders make a miraculous clearance but you can only dream of playing a game like that and it makes you feel invincible. That is his day in the sun! Andre Villas-Boas's Tottenham players couldn't have done any more and they could easily have won 5-1. I'm sure Alan Pardew will be hoping Krul will have a few more days in the sun!
Poyet reviving Sunderland with great man management skills
KAMMY SAYS: A clean sheet against free-scoring Man City? Let's give Sunderland all the credit they deserve. Gus Poyet has always wanted teams to play and entertain. It was the same at Brighton, but he's gone to Sunderland in totally different circumstances. He wants his players playing, but it's also about organisation, clean sheets and maintaining their Premier League status. Plus he's having to deal with what's been left him. When managers get results in those situations, you know they're good.
Look at the way he's dealt with Lee Cattermole [who was frozen out by former boss Paolo di Canio]. Instead of castigating him, he's said 'I'll educate him'. When I was at Leeds, the first thing Howard Wilkinson said about tackling was that he'd fine me if I went to ground and I didn't get the ball. I got one booking that season and Vinnie Jones never got sent off! That makes you think. It's saying 'I admire your commitment but you're not doing you or your team any favours by getting sent off'.
All hail England's top flight
KAMMY SAYS: Bayern Munich don't go to the bottom teams and end up getting beat. That's the standard in the Bundesliga but not in the Premier League. What ever team you play there's always a chance they can beat you. It's without doubt, the most open Premier League ever. I defy anybody to pick a winner. On Saturday night you would have had Mourinho bemoaming the fact that they got a point.
But what a magnificent point for Chelsea considering the other results. With Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City losing their games, that point for Chelsea may turn out to be really significant. By Sunday evening, that point had become massive.
I watch all sorts of football - in Spain, Germany, everywhere - and I don't think you get anywhere near this. The games are exciting and what a weekend we've just had. Saturday was action packed and controversial and then you get Sunday's unexpected events. It gets everybody talking football and you can't beat that.
That's Kammy's view but what did YOU make of the Premier League weekend? Let us know using the feedback form below...
