Arsenal Rise After Loss

I am behind on a couple of weeks of the Promroiship due to the Conservative Party Conference posts and being generally busy. We should be back up to date after the international weekend.

Arsenal's loss to Hull City may not have done their Premier League hopes any good, but it gave the match first spot in the Match of the Day running order on 27th September moving them from tenth to sixth in the table. In a week with a near maximum eight matches, West Ham had another miserly haul of points after the London derby between them and Fulham was deemed only to be worth penultimate place on MOTD. The Merseyside derby appeared third, perhaps surprisingly behind Newcastle's loss to Blackburn which keeps moves the former to fourth. Manchester United continue to lead the table despite appearing fourth in only their second appearance on Match of the Day, but Liverpool have closed the gap on their great northern rivals.
