So, the Premier League is back, which is a relief for all you fantasy football players out there, but maybe not for some of the managers -
Pressure is the name of the game at The Emirates
-
While Manchester United have the chance to go 15 points clear at the top of the table!
-
Arsene Wenger says he has over £150m to spend this summer and that he 'can get Falcao'. Have we heard this all before? #AFCby RnRFootball via twitter 2/23/2013 12:20:43 PM -
Before the main course at 3pm there's Fulham v Stoke in the lunch time kickoff at Craven Cottage and the teams are in...

Feeling positives about today game #afc #COYGby Jean Pires via twitter 2/23/2013 12:31:47 PM -
A very mid table feel about the lunchtime game and a case for both of getting to the 40 points mark as quickly as possible
-
Really hope we manage get something from this game... #scfcby kirstyleah_SCFC via twitter 2/23/2013 12:34:46 PM -
Special mention to Berbatov who is making his 200th Premier League appearance today
-
-
Stoke aren't that great on the road; can they turn that around today?
-
-
Time for Fulham v Stoke. I'm going for 2-1 Fulham. #ffc #scfcby SteveJenn93 via twitter 2/23/2013 12:44:06 PM -

Kicked off. Stoke definitely 4-5-1. Cameron in mf, Walters and Ethers wide, Crouch the lone striker. #SCFC #Sentinelby Michael Baggaley via twitter 2/23/2013 12:47:20 PM -
It is bitterly cold in west London, as it is across the country, so fair play to anyone in short sleeves!
-
Fairly sedate start, as many people would have predicted
-
Good chance for Walters but the Stoke forward didn't make the most of it. He really should have slid it across the six yard box for Etherington there.
-
If you'd bet in anyone to break the deadlock it would be Berbatov, but he can't keep his shot down from close range
-
Jesus that was too close for comfort #scfcby mightystokies via twitter 2/23/2013 12:54:37 PM -

Fulham have the ball in the back of the net, but Ruiz used his hand to get it there
-
-
HANDS UP - Bryan Ruiz pops one in for Fulham with his left hand only to be 'handed' a yellow card for his troubles. It stays 0-0 #FFC #SCFCby Onegameatatime1 via twitter 2/23/2013 12:57:54 PM -

A break in play as Nzonzi gets a knock to the face - he's in a lot of pain!
-
The Fulham fans are booing him and he reacts angrily
-
Fulham fans booing Nzonzi before he lashes out with a gesture to the home fans! More abuse coming his way #ffc #scfc #BPLby The Football Dugout via twitter 2/23/2013 1:01:12 PM -
His nose isn't a pretty sight but he's back on for the time being
-
Fulham are on the front foot but chances are at a premium
-
Good run from Riise, but his shot is comfortably saved by Begovic
-
the good thing about watching Stoke play Fulham is a chance to assess goalkeeper Amir Begovic who is linked with United #FFC #SCFC #EPLby coldfusionMBE via twitter 2/23/2013 1:06:42 PM -
Fulham dominating first 20 minutes but nothing to show for it yet. #FFCby John H. Schaeffer via twitter 2/23/2013 1:06:50 PM -
Nzonzi booked for a needless push to Ruiz's face.
-
Good save from Begovic from the resulting free-kick
-
Stoke are making a change but it's not for Nzonzi. Etherington is off and Shea is on for his Stoke debut
-
Brek Shea gets an early introduction thanks to Matthew Etherington's injury #scfc-ffcby temptherat via twitter 2/23/2013 1:11:01 PM -
Time Pulis took Nzonzi off before he gets a red. Should have seen red for the slap #scfcby noggerules via twitter 2/23/2013 1:11:04 PM -
-
Brek Shea sounds like something you have for breakfast #scfcby super_kev1993 via twitter 2/23/2013 1:13:25 PM -
First 25 mins perfect example of why #scfc have such an appalling away record #nothingtodowithluckby caribbeanpotter via twitter 2/23/2013 1:13:41 PM
