*Wayne Rooney needed to fill Ronaldo's shoes when the winger sailed away towards pastures greener. His goals were fulfilling most of the task, but something still felt missing. I didn't know what it was, until Rooney slammed his boot on the ground after being substituted. The legacy of CR7 lives on. Next stop - substituting yourself, because when you've got an ego on a par with Ronaldo, the only person allowed to substitute you is, well, you.
*3-2, 3-0, 5-2. And still they aren't firing on all cylinders. If Madrid ever do they will be a fearsome proposition. If not, they'll be good entertainment nonetheless.
*How about that Guit fella? A poaching striker turned mercurial playmaker if ever there was one. His pass for Ronaldo's goal against Espanyol and his chip over the (awful) Zurich keeper are in the top 5 moments of the season so far.
*Iniesta is back from injury. Yay!
*The game to watch this weekend - Barcelona against Atletico Madrid. There was 14 goals over the two league games last season. It promises to be nothing but fun.
*Game that will not be what people hope it will be - The Manchester Derby. This is no clash between title contenders. City will be beaten, and not in a way that makes you think they're still in with a shout for the title. The only thing that will make this game interesting is Tevez featuring.
*5 of Arsenal's 7 games have been away from home so far this season. Expect Wigan to feel the brunt of this homesickness.
*It's finally happened. The Champions League group matches hold little appeal to me. Liverpool v Lyon is about the only game I'll watch with interest, only because this Lyon team looks pretty darn good on paper.
