Man U lose to Liverpool 4-1 at home… and in the very next match, lose to unfancied Fulham 2-0! Three red card (Vidic, Scholes, Rooney) in 2 matches for the Red Devils!
On the other hand… Liverpool follow up their win over Manu U with a 5-0 thrashing of Aston Villa! Liverpool now just a point [...]

Arabs with money bags…

The EPL transfer window closed on 31st. The Sheikhs from Abu Dhabi not only bought Man City, but also threw in Robinho. Finally a new club to challenge Chelsea in throwing away money.
The FA apparently was not happy with Thaksin’s ‘tainted’ money. So Thaksin exits, and…
Wonder how many clubs in EPL are actually [...]

After a 0-1 loss to Fulham, the whole world started doubting Arsenal’s credentials. What a comeback. They decimated Newcastle 3-0 today. If not for Shay Given in the Toon goal, there would have been half-a-dozen goals for Arsenal today. Young Denilson gets his first goal for Arsenal. What a moment.
Go Gunners!

The Premier League season ends tomorrow. Manchester United are on the verge of winning the championship. If they beat Wigan tomorrow, it wouldn’t matter if Chelsea win or lose. Man U will be crowned champions.
It will be correct to call this season’s team as ‘One Man United.’ Cristiano Ronaldo has single handedly dragged Man United to [...]

Almost half way through the EPL season. By next week, most teams would have played 19 of the 38 games in the season. It’s amazing how the league positions for certain teams become clear by the half way mark. Most teams would have played against all the other teams once. The league table now is [...]
Fulham at the Top of Premier League

Interesting observation on the EPL season so far…
Fulham’s league position would have been 1st, if based purely on the score at half time.
Which goes to show that football really is a game of two halves. However, Lawrie Sanchez’s team can’t hold on to a lead. Which is why they are 19th on second-half scores alone [...]
