United needed an OAP to salvage a point against Bolton ‘route one’ Wanderers (okay, he’s 31 but hasn’t done anything for years) while Chelsea were humbled by a Man City side that they should be beating.
Arsenal looked poor (except for Nasri) however a special mention must go to Almunia who even made Rob Green look good. Green on the other hand had an okay game between the sticks for West Ham and was obviously inspired by the story in the week about the businessmen who hit back against their local bank by deciding to use some sign language directed at the press boxes. Well done for making a couple of good saves Rob, but no one has forgotten about your inability to stop a rolling ball travelling at 5mph.
Liverpool needed a controversial goal and Stephen Gerrard not receiving a red card to get a point at home against Sunderland. With an embarrassing loss to Northampton in the week, they got off to a good start however IMO it shouldn’t have counted as it was only common sense that Sunderland weren’t taking the free kick. Believe it or not, the ref was Stuart Atwell. The same ref who gave the ghost goal and ridiculously sent Cahill off the other week. I know it’s a tough job, but FFS, how is he still refereeing Premiership matches?
I couldn’t believe my eyes as Emile Heskey…yes EMILE HESKEY scored a brilliant header to get a last gasp winner for Villa away at Wolves. I suppose stranger things have happened…
In the Championship, QPR won again with a 3-0 win to go 6 points clear at the top of the table with just 8 games played. Cardiff were playing Millwall in probably one of the friendliest fixtures of the season with Cardiff getting an 89th minute winner to stay 2nd in the league.
Palace’s poor away form got even worse with a heavy defeat away at Derby. Robbie Savage received his typical warm welcome, this time with the chant of ‘you’re just a sh*t Edgar Davids’. However the result of the week was at Portsmouth who, having scored 2 goals all season, put 6 past Leicester meaning they move off the foot of the table.
The Commonwealth games are being hosted in India this year however concerns have been raised about the safety and cleanliness of the site. The story of an Indian athlete finding a snake in his bedroom didn’t help India’s case some countries are considering pulling out especially after the report of the athlete who tried to lie on his bed and it collapsed.
Lewis Hamilton crashed again, this time in the Singapore for the night race as Alonso, Vettel and Webber claimed the top 3 spots. Button only managed 4th place meaning Webber currently leads the Drivers Championship by 11 points.
Finally, LA Galaxy have decided not to punish David Beckham after he confronted a fan who heckled him. The heckle- ‘stop with the prostitutes!’ LOL
Check back next week
