Sorry to have left you all in suspense since last weekend's Premier League matches, but here are the results of Saturday and Sunday's games.
Chris Hutchings (Tie) 3 - 0 Roy Keane (Tie)
Martin Jol (No tie) 4 - 0 Billy Davies (Tie)
Steve Coppell (Tie) 1 - 0 David Moyes (No tie)
Harry Redknapp (Tie) 3 - 1 Sammy Lee (Tie)
Sam Allardyce (Tie) 0 - 0 Martin O' Neill (No Tie)
Lawrie Sanchez (Tie) 1-2 Gareth Southgate (Tie)
Steve Bruce (No tie) 0-1 Alan Curbishley (No tie)
Sven Goran Eriksson (Tie) 1 - 0 Alex Ferguson (Tie)
Rafa Benitez (Tie) 1 - 1 Jose Mourinho (Tie)
Mark Hughes (Tie) 1 - 1 Arsene Wenger (Tie)
An even weekend in matches between tie-wearing bosses versus non-tie wearing managers. Steve Coppell earned a good victory for the ties with a terrific 1-0 victory over early-season form team Everton.
We highlighted Sven Goran Eriksson's nice blue tie earlier in the season. We like it a lot and it appears to be bringing the Swede a great deal of luck as his Manchester City outfit stand top of the Premier League after 3 weeks.
Another interesting weekend of fixtures await us. Will any tracksuit managers change their look? We shall see tie lovers, we shall see.

Interesting Tie Quote

Even Stevens In Midweek Premier League Tie Battles
Only one Premier League match saw a tie wearing manager taking on a tracksuit-sporting boss, midweek. A last minute Stern John strike for Sunderland meant necktie sporting Roy Keane's Sunderland took a point from St. Andrews, where Birmingham boss Steve Bruce didn't even don a tie for his post-match interview. Very disappointing Steve.
The full midweek results were:
Martin Jol (No tie) 1 - 3 David Moyes (No tie)
Steve Bruce (No tie) 2 - 2 Roy Keane (Tie)
Lawrie Sanchez (Tie) 2 - 1 Sammy Lee (Tie)
Sven Goran Eriksson (Tie) 1 - 0 Billy Davies (Tie)
Harry Redknapp (Tie) 1 - 1 Alex Ferguson (Tie)
Steve Coppell (Tie) 1 - 2 Jose Mourinho (Tie)
Chris Hutchings (Tie) 1 - 0 Gareth Southgate (Tie)
11 from 14 bosses chose to wear ties during play midweek. Also, we take a minor victory in David Moyes' Everton winning at Spurs as he did put on a tie for his after-match TV interviews. Now get that tie on during the game, Dave!

Premier League Managers Tie Up Victories
The Barclays Premier League football season 2007/2008 kicked off this weekend with the usual first day flurry of goals and excitement.
The top flight's managers had smartened up for day one with 15 out of the 20 bosses wearing ties as they bellowed their instructions from the touchline. (75% of the population can't be wrong). Steve Bruce, Alan Curbishley, Martin O'Neill, David Moyes and Martin Jol, you are named and shamed as not wearing ties. *Hiss* *Boo*
Well, we are sure you all know the match results by now, but what about the outcome of the ties vs tracksuits? Here they are in full:
Martin O'Neill (No tie) 1 - 2 Rafa Benitez (Tie)
Sammy Lee (Tie) 1 - 3 Sam Allardyce (Tie)
Billy Davies (Tie) 2 - 2 Harry Redknapp (Tie)
David Moyes (No tie) 2 - 1 Chris Hutchings (Tie)
Gareth Southgate (Tie) 1 - 2 Mark Hughes (Tie)
Roy Keane (Tie) 1 - 0 Martin Jol (No Tie)
Alan Curbishley (No Tie) 0 - 2 Sven Goran Eriksson (Tie)
Arsene Wenger (Tie) 2 - 1 Lawrie Sanchez (Tie)
Jose Mourinho (Tie) 3 - 2 Steve Bruce (No Tie)
Alex Ferguson (Tie) 0 - 0 Steve Coppell (Tie)
Only one victory for a tracksuit manager, with four victories for tie wearers over their scruffier counterparts. Fine victories for Roy Keane's Sunderland and Sven Goran Eriksson's Manchester City. (Proof we feel that tie wearers are winners.)
Ice cool swede Sven wore the pick of the ties this weekend with a simple plain blue tie similar to the one pictured below.
