Premier League




The Premier League is an English professional league for association football clubs. At the top of the English football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with The Football League. The Premier League is a corporation in which the 20 member clubs act as shareholders. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 38 matches each, totalling 380 matches in the season. Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played during weekday evenings. It was known as the Premiership from 1993 to 2007. It is currently sponsored by Barclays Bank and therefore officially known as the Barclays Premier League.

The competition formed as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of clubs in the Football League First Division to break away from The Football League, which was originally founded in 1888, and take advantage of a lucrative television rights deal. The Premier League has since become the world's most watched association football league.[1] It is the world's most lucrative football league in terms of revenue, with combined club revenues of over £2 billion in 2008–09.[2] It is ranked first in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the last five years, ahead of Spain's La Liga and Germany's Bundesliga.[3]

Tottenham v Man City (0-0) , FT

Hart keeps Spurs at bay



Joe Hart justified his manager's decision to start the season as Manchester City's first-choice goalkeeper by producing a stellar performance in the 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.
Roberto Mancini plumped for England international Hart ahead of Shay Given for City's Premier League opener and he was rewarded with a stand-out display.
Hart's performance is likely to see questions raised over Given's future at City, but few could argue the 23-year-old deserves a run in the team.
The former Shrewsbury youngster was called into action as early as the 11th minute as he produced a superb one-handed reaction save to push away Jermain Defoe's volley on the turn.
And, with Spurs dictating the tempo of the first half, Hart was kept busy as he denied Tom Huddlestone, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Defoe again before the half-hour mark.
City's keeper was finally beaten on 31 minutes, but was rescued by the post as Gareth Bale's drilled shot came back off the upright.
Though City struggled to create anything of note, the visitors should have been in front within a minute of the second half starting, but Shaun Wright-Phillips took too long to bring the ball under control and Assou-Ekotto got back to clear the danger.
Hart made further saves from substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko and Aaron Lennon before Bale wasted the chance to earn Spurs a deserved win by side-footing wide of the target late on.

Arsenal had tried for both the GK's , Given confirmed that if he is not the first choice he will rethink his future. Given is also an excellent GK
