WHAT THE?…THE PREMIERSHIP, WEEK 4

EPL

Written by:

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review with only the interesting events that should not have happened in the first place.

This was a bad week for my fantasy picks on Facebook.

  • The big game of the weekend was Chelsea and Manchester City (I dont care about Man U v. Liverpool, but I will get to it in a second). The reason? Robinho got his first start against the team he spent all summer trying to sign for. Robinho scored a sensation goal from a free kick to the bottom right hand corner, Cech didn’t even move. Then Chelsea scored 3 goals and won the game.
  • New boys Hull City won another game with a 2-1 score against Newcastle. Hull City is now in 5th place on the table after 4 games. Well done.
  • Regulated favorites Fulham beat Bolton 2-1. Fulham is currently 7th on the Prem table.
  • Liverpool pulled off the upset(?) of Manchster United with a goal in the 77th minute. This leaves Liverpool in 2nd with 10 points and Manchester United in 14th with 4 points. Can you believe that Man U is 6 points behind, only 4 games into the season? I didn’t realized Ronaldo was really that important to the team. No wonder Man U was doing everything they could to keep him.
  • The best result of the weekend? Aston Villa 2 – 1 Tottenham. I thought this was funny during the first few weeks but this is bad. Tottenham is now in last place with 1 point after 4 games. Uhh…what? How is that possible? Tottenham doesn’t have Chelsea money but they have enough to buy a place in the top half of the table.
