What a wonderful (?) weekend just passed by. Some results for some teams to be proud of while some teams showed that they are utter cack and will be in the relegation quagmire for a long while yet.
Let’s take a look at some of the things that transpired over the weekend...
Liverpool vs. Manchester City: What can be taken from this game? That Rafa’s zonal marking isn’t working, Manchester City can’t keep a lead to save their lives. And above all, the race for fourth is going to be as uninspiring as watching Big Sam’s Blackburn take on Big Sam’s Bolton...
For Manchester City to do very much this season, Stephen Ireland has to be an integral member of the midfield.
...We expected a draw, we got one.
Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers: Flat track bullying wins you championships. Nothing else to say about this game... Though to be fair, Chelsea have seen off United, Liverpool and Spurs at the Bridge.
Michael Essien is a colossus. He and Chelsea’s other African stars will be sorely missed in the new year... Oh wait; they have a deep enough squad. They may not be really affected as people may think.
...We expected a home win, we got that.
Sunderland vs. Arsenal: Arsenal missed Robin van Persie and a certain cutting edge. While Sunderland welcomed back Lorik Cana to the side... They got a battling victory and will no doubt be delighted after having defeated Liverpool and held United at Old Trafford.
Arsenals have to respond well to this defeat because they have a derby up next against the league leaders. Good luck on that one.
...We predicted an Arsenal victory with a Darren bent goal... you know how that turned out (these Arsenal guys are really unreliable.)
Manchester United vs. Everton: The Reds did indeed banish the demons of Stamford Bridge against Everton. But it has to be said that Everton didn’t play to win which is a bit sad. Their dismal run of no victories for seventeen (seventeen?) years at Old Trafford continues.
Darren Fletcher scored a cracker of a goal and a well placed goal from Michael Carrick. Valencia is improving but I still don’t think he should be at a top club.
As for Everton, they could really do with some of their better players getting fit ahead of the ever fiery Merseyside derby.
...Home win. Top marks. What else could you ask for?
The weekend can’t be reviewed without mentioning the likes of Wigan, Jermaine Defoe, David Dunn, e.t.c.
Looking forward to next week already (after the champions league games, admittedly).
