WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 16

Written by: tyler ransburgh

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review column where I write about the crap I found interesting in the lastest round of Prem games. This is about me, not you, so I don’t want to hear you bloody whine about it.

• As Manchester United fights to get every point and stay in the title race, a game against Sunderland should be no problem. It took a goal in the 91st minute to beat Sunderland 1-0 at home. Man U is still in third, 6 points behind with a game in hand. Sunderland were playing their first game after Roy Keane quit as their manager.

• Hull kept their impressive season going with a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough. Hull still stands in 6th place, 2 points behind Aston Villa for a place in Europe.

• Arsenal are having a crazy season. They play well against the big teams and lose to the lowly teams. So this weekends game against Wigan was not a good sign. Arsenal did pull out a 1-0 win against Wigan and are in 4th place on the Prem table. Now that I think about it, how are they in 4th with all of their bad games?

• Tottenham were still sitting on the edge of relegation as they are coming up on the half way mark this season. A game at West Ham was not a give-me but Tottenham did pull off a 2-0 win. Tottenham are now sitting 15th on the table and has a little (very little) breathing room from the relegation zone.

• The most enjoyable game this week by far was the Everton – Aston Villa game. A battle of two of the best American (and Prem) keepers, Tim Howard and Brad Friedel. Lescott (Everton) scored his second goal in the 93rd minute to tie the game 2-2. Lescott ripped his shirt off and ran around the field as the home fans went nuts. Well, the game wasnt over and Ashley Young reminded Lescott that with a goal in the 94th minute (his second of the game) to win the game 3-2 and make Lescott look like a BLOODY WANKER!
