Blackburn at home… Man City away… Boro away – not the toughest start you could have to a league campaign, but you have to say that Portsmouth have surprised everyone to record two wins, a draw and – most impressive of all – three clean sheets. Arsenal fans seemed more than happy to wave goodbye to Sol Campbell but on current form, I’m sure a good percentage of Gooners would have him back tomorrow.
You have to give another unloved veteran credit too – David James is in cracking form and currently looks like the best English ‘keeper around.
Sol and Calamity, the stars of the Premier League so far – who’d have thought it?
