Columnist Geoff Thornton is not overly impressed with the return of Premier League footballImprobably, officialdom saved the day with the ‘was it a goal?’ farce that cost the Blades two points. The matter went to court with the inevitable result of a home win for the FA. The Eagles looked a class apart, especially in defence, and coasted home despite Wilfried Zaha showing great lassitude and barely contributing. I fear for Eddie Howe as he is a Premier League manager struggling to cope with only a Championship squad to work with. Rumours are always rife in this social media age and I think that the club should be more ready to confirm or deny or whatever.
