I have to say there was something quite nice about watching a live football match taking place back home where it was, shall we say, 'slashing' it down with rain whilst we were sat there knocking back cold lagers in the sweltering Mediterranean heat. Sadly for Villa fans however, we don't get any points for that game in the Braggers' League and I guess Baggies fans will conversly be relieved that their opening match of the season does not have any effect on their rating in our unique local league table.
However, the good news for Wolves fans is that their home win over Stoke at the weekend means that they become the very first team to go top of the new Braggers' League table with Stoke going bottom of the league on goal difference compared with the three teams who have yet to play a derby.
I have yet to scrutinise the Braggers' League point system, though so far it doesn't seem that any teams have either gained or lost extra BP points. Braggley the octopus was close with his 2-2 prediction and had Stoke applied slightly more pressure in the last few minutes of the match or Delap got that crucial goal from a side-line super throw, it might have been equal pegging. Braggley did get one of the goal scorers correct with new signing Steven Fletcher nodding home the winner.
There were two bookings in the game though no sendings off, which would have led to lost BP points. As far as I know at the moment no significant areas of empty seats, significant vuvuzela blowing or embarrassing manager rants, but I await any independent post-match reports which indicate a convincing case for BP points being dropped or gained.
Without further ado, here is the first Braggers' League table of the season and well done to the Wolves:
