WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 17

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.

Whenever a team in the race for the title slips up, the others never take advantage. This, again, was the week of the draws.

• Arsenal continued their inconsistent form this week with a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. The tie dropped Arsenal out of the top four due to Aston Villa winning this weekend to take the 4th spot.

• Liverpool had a chance to pick up some points as they played newly promoted Hull City at home. Then Hull City decided to go up 2-0 and Liverpool was reminded that these aren’t your traditional new boys. Liverpool was able to get 2 goals back and the game ended 2-2.

• With the Liverpool draw, Chelsea had the chance to take the top of the table. Then they stumbled over West Ham with a 1-1 draw. Again dropping points at the worst time. Or, just following the lead of the other big clubs this weekend. This left Liverpool on top with Chelsea one point behind in 2nd.

• The big game this weekend was Tottenham heading up to Manchester to play United. Since we don’t want to break the theme, the clubs tied 1-1. This was basically a win for Tottenham as they fight to stay out of the relegation zone.
