WOW!
Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina and Swansea forward Nathan Dyer were hardcore! After the Spanish keeper rushed off his line and clattered into the striker, it looked like it was serious, but both players overcame the injury scare and continued with their bumps and bruises. It was different to see Jose Enrique going forward. The Spanish defender impressed and should have been on the scoreboard after latching onto Luis Suarez's cross but was disallowed for offside. It was end to end stuff but ended up with Brendan Rodgers unable to get the better of his former side. It was the game with the most passes, surprise surprise, 1,055, ahead of United against QPR with 1,040. It all came to nothing though.OMG!
The referee was clearly confused.com at Stamford Bridge. After a fine save by City's Joe Hart, Chris Foy gave a goal kick against Chelsea?! Ashley Cole was understandably gobsmacked!!! Mario Balotelli was harshly booked for a dive, I think there the referee went more by impression than by incident. And the fans were nothappyandbooing.com with Rafael Benitez, chanting "you're not wanted here", and holding up signs reading 'Benitez out' - coupled with songs and banners hailing the sacked Roberto Di Matteo. Benitez looked very red!!! Y Fernando Torres?! Donde estas?! It was definitely a game to forget! For the referee, Rafa and Torres!TOP!
West Brom's goals were very much in contrast to one another. The first one was a brilliant strike by Zoltan Gera, the second a nightmare blunder by Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, which gifted Shane Long a goal and the third was just as much a gift when drama queen Liam Ridgewell went down very easily and the spot-kick was converted by Romelu Lukaku. The first Sunderland goal was a brill deflected free kick by Craig Gardner and Stephane Sessegnon tapped in the rebound of a saved header off a corner, but it ended 4-2, after a fine curl-goal by Marc-Antoine Fortune finished the game off for the home side late on in injury time. It was a game with a little bit of everything and West Brom continuing their brilliant run!FLOP!
Clumsy goals summarised United's home win against QPR, defensive nightmares with three goals falling in just seven minutes.Stoke saw a nice turn-tip goal by Charlie Adam off Peter Crouch which won them all three points against Fulham. Dimitar Berbatov was constant threat, denied again and again, with some brilliant saves by Asmir Begovic.
The Gunners have now taken only one point from their past three away games and would have fancied their chances of winning at a ground where they have been unbeaten since 1998. But they were unable to unlock Villa and the sporadic game ended 0-0 with Arsene Wenger est le miserable.
HERO and ZERO!
Wigan's 3-2 win at the DW Stadium against Reading is easily summarised: Nicky Shorey's free kick was headed in by Sean Morrison to make it 0-1, the equaliser came off a rebound tapped in by Jordi Gomez followed by brill save by Ali Al Habsi. Wigan's Franco Di Santo was given offside, then Gomez headed another chance in to make it 2-1 before Al Habsi slipped one in to level the game 2-2!!! Gomez won the game two minutes into injury time with a hat-trick!!! Al Habsi was understandably more than happy!!! And that was the quickest and shortest I could summarise it! It was a smashing game! *breath* UEFA are considering to scrap the Europa League and expand the Champions League to 64 teams by 2014... Good idea tu reduce the number of competitions and with it the fixture list, however, it defeats the point of CHAMPIONS League, no???
My Predictions => Actual Results
Sunderland 2-1 West Brom => 2-4
Everton 2-1 Norwich => 1-1
Man United 2-1 QPR => 3-1
Stoke 2-1 Fulham => 1-0
Wigan 2-1 Reading => 3-2
Aston Villa 2-1 Arsenal => 0-0
Swansea 2-1 Liverpool => 0-0
Southampton 2-1 Newcastle => 2-0
Chelsea 2-1 Man City => 0-0
Tottenham 2-1 West Ham => 3-1
I once again forgot to log my predictions, so, it went onto auto-predictor again (= all 2-1)... Useless!!! :-P
