Which leads us to today's debate...

With Phil Mickelson ending a 20-year stay in the top 25, Jamie Vardy scoring in a ninth consecutive Premier League match, and Australia extending their undefeated run at the Gabba to 27 matches (and 27 years), we're asking...

Fabian Delph, who moved to City from Villa in the summer, received a fair bit of stick from the home fans during the game.

Supporters made their feelings known by holding up inflatable snakes - a reference to Delph's pledge to stay at Villa, before he changed his mind and signed for the Blues a few days later.

What did new Villa boss Remi Garde make of his first match in charge, we hear you cry?

Well, he described it as a "nice experience", adding: "It was a fantastic atmosphere, a tough game, but I can be very happy with my team, I saw smiles on their faces.

"When you play with sadness it does not help you. I tried in the three training sessions we had to deliver my message. Nobody expected we were going to score two or three goals.

"Some of the players who didn't start today had problems during the week. Nobody will play because he's French or Spanish or British. I saw in training how good or bad they were."

Should be an interesting few months ahead.

Let's finish our round-up of Sunday's Premier League action now and what a fine result it was for bottom clubAston Villa, holding leadersManchester Cityto a goalless draw in Remi Garde's first game as manager.

Displaying a new-found defensive solidity, the hosts restricted City well although Raheem Sterling should have scored with a close-range header.

It was a first point for Villa since August, ending a disastrous run of seven straight league defeats.

Missed opportunity for Manuel Pellegrini's side though, who remain level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

"Kieran Gibbs' movement is good. His timing in the box is good. Sometimes when he gets into a position he doesn't believe he can score," said Arsene Wenger afterwards, who seemed pretty happy with a point after the midweek Champions League mauling in Munich.

"What this Premier League shows is that you have to fight 200% in every game for a result. It will be down to the team that can find the mental resource in every game."

As for opposite number Mauricio Pochettino, he seemed quite satisfied too. "The way we played we should feel very proud," said the Spurs boss, whose team remain unbeaten since the opening day.

"The effort was brilliant. The level we showed and the commitment was fantastic. It's the way we want to carry on."

Over in North London, substitute Kieran Gibbs rescued a point for Arsenal in a pulsating north London derby against Tottenham.

Spurs dominated for long periods and took a deserved first-half lead when Harry Kane broke clear and slotted in.

However, Arsenal slowly took control in the second half and equalised when Mesut Ozil provided a deep cross for Gibbs to bundle past Hugo Lloris.

Arsenal are level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, while Spurs lie fifth.

...Scorer of the winning goal in the 1990 World Cup Final, Andreas Brehme, who turns 55 today. 

Also celebrating today are former Brazil, Portugal and Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari (67), former Juventus and Italy striker Alessandro Del Piero (41), and West Brom goalkeeper Boaz Myhill (33). 

Another manager on the brink - if the media are right - is former Manchester United and Everton boss David Moyes.

He was reportedly about to be sacked as Real Sociedad manager on Sunday, but his cancelled flight from Manchester means his exit is now expected to be confirmed on Monday.

The Scot's Real Sociedad team are marooned near the bottom of La Liga - above the relegation zone on goal difference - and produced a limp performance in Friday's 2-0 defeat against lowly Las Palmas.

Monk - whose team lost at Norwich on Saturday - is currently trending on Twitter ... which possibly isn't good news 

Ready for the first cute pic of the day?

Thought so.

Here's how Aussie vice captain David Warner celebrated victory over New Zealand, crawling around on all fours with his daughter Ivy.

No wonder Warner was in playful mood - he scored a century in each innings and was man-of-the-match.

Let's break off for a moment for a spot of cricket and to Australia, where Steve Smith's men took seven wickets before lunch on the final day to seal victory against New Zealand in the first Test of a three-match series.

The Black Caps - having been set a world record 504 to win - resumed on 142-3 but their challenge quickly folded.

Brendon McCullum hit a run-a-ball 80 - before being given out to a shocker of a decision - but the Kiwis were all out for 295.

"We've achieved some special things of late, McCullum said, "and it is going to take a special effort over the next couple of Tests to come out with the spoils."

It was, of course, Remembrance Sunday.

A minute's silence was impeccably observed at grounds around the country, including Anfield.

Palace are quickly becoming Liverpool's bogey team, inflicting damaging results on the Reds over the past three seasons.

In the the 2013-14 campaign, when the Reds were in the hunt for their first league title since 1990, Palace came back from 3-0 down by scoring three times in the last 11 minutes to dent their championship hopes.

Last season, the Eagles spoiled Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard's farewell appearance at Anfield, winning 3-1 as they completed a league double over their opponents.

This time - and although Liverpool dominated possession and territory - new boss Jurgen Klopp experienced his first defeat in seven games since taking over from Brendan Rodgers.

Next to Anfield where poor old Jurgen Klopp said he felt "alone" in the closing stages of the 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.

He was referring to the fact that several home fans left their seats after Scott Dann headed Palace ahead eight minutes from time.

"Eighty-two minutes - game over," said Klopp, who suffered his first defeat as Liverpool boss. "I turned around and I felt pretty alone at this moment. We have to decide when it is over"

"I am not disappointed about this, the fans leaving, they have reasons," added the German. "But we are responsible that nobody can leave the stadium a minute before the last whistle because everything can happen."

With the exception of Bristol Rovers fans, you'd need a heart of concrete not to have enjoyed the scenes after Chesham's giantkilling exploits.

Here's a flavour, starting with manager Andy Leese...

Happy days indeed.

Before we delve into the usual Premier League stuff, let's round-up the real football action over the weekend - the FA Cup.

What a Sunday it was for Chesham United. The Southern Premier League side were given about as much chance of winning at League Two Bristol Rovers as Louis van Gaal has of not using the word 'philosophy' again all season.

Yet win they did, progressing to the second round for only the second time in their history - the first coming in 1980 when they were knocked out in the third round by Cambridge United.

For a look back at all the FA Cup action - including a memorable win for the Class of 92's Salford City - head here.

After several days of silence, Coe's fightback on behalf of the sport he was elected to lead just three months ago has begun not a moment too soon.

He has been criticised for previously calling media investigations into allegations of doping a "declaration of war", and for referring to the man he replaced, Lamine Diack as the sport's "spiritual" leader.

He has also refused to end his ambassadorial role with Nike, despite claims this amounts to a conflict of interest. Coe knows he must now be seen to live up to the pledge he made during his presidential election campaign and somehow rebuild trust in athletics after a year of horribly damaging headlines.

But with Wada preparing to reveal the results of its long investigation into athletics on Monday, the former middle-distance champion knows things are about to get even worse before they can get better.

On that topic, Sebastian Coe - president of athletics' governing body, the IAAF - has admitted these are "dark days for the sport".

In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek, Lord Coe said: "The day after I got elected, I started a massive review. Understandably, in the light of the allegations that have been made, that review has been accelerated.

"I'm more determined than ever to rebuild the trust in our sport. However, this is a long road to redemption."

Get set for fireworks at 14:00 GMT.

That is when the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada to me and you) will publish what looks like being an explosive report into claims of doping, cover-ups, and extortion in Russian athletics.

Here's how today's Daily Telegraph is preparing for it.

The report will show "a different scale of corruption", even compared with Fifa, said co-author Richard McLaren.

We will bring you all the revelations as and when they emerge.
