Top Game: Newcastle's win against Middlesbrough was the most crucial of them all. We will see if they left it too late or if it will keep them afloat.
Top Goal: Both of Diomansy Kamara's goals for Fulham were top-notch, but especially his second, the cheeky back-heeler, was a pleasure to watch, not if you were the goalkeeper though. Nicolas Anelka's fine strike curled and fooled its way past the goaly in a top-quality manner, too, only few players are able to do that.
Top Team: Manchester United is the obvious pick after their 2:0 win in a tricky derby, but their run and dominance has been going for weeks, so it is no surprise to find them at the top and near-cert champions. Stoke and Blackburn also deserve laud securing their Premier League status for next season, but I have to pick West Brom for still serving great goals and wins to their fans although they have been the team stamped as relegated for months now.
Top Manager: Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce will be thinking "job done" after both teams have most certainly reached Premier League safety with good wins this weekend.
Top Player: Carlos Tevez's response to all the stories and press coverage of his will to leave the club and critique on Ferguson could not have been better, a brilliant display and a more than satisfying goal. Many Premier League clubs will be cuing if it will be the case of Tevez leaving United.
Flop Game: Arsenal's thrashing by Chelsea was sad to see, a disappointment not only to their fans but to the neutrals that always knew them as title contenders, just to see them melt away like that. They definitely need players with experience if they want to be in the title race with a shout next season. The two 0:0 matches gave the impression that none of the teams wanted to score not even mentioning winning. Shame for the game. Why did they bother to turn up in the first place?
Flop Team: Hull City were a disappointment again this weekend, although Stoke's goals would have beaten many teams, still, the Tigers will have to show and do so much more to hang on to the Premier League which looks less likely looking at the points they have been dropping and Manchester United being their last opponents. They can only hope United will secure the title until then and will line up their B or C team against them.
Flop Player: What was Hammers' David Di Michele thinking when he fell to the ground touched only by air and with a definite chance to score right in front of his nose?! Good on Pepe Reina trying to shake his colleague awake to make him realise how pathetic his action and appeal were. Ronaldo also needs mentioning again for his moaning and spoilt crybaby attitude. Shame on him.
