WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 18

EPL, English Premier League

Written by: Tyler

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

This round was similar to last round. Manchester United was in Japan winning the Club World Cup, so they are now in forth on the table with two games in hand.

  • With a 1-0 win against West Ham, Aston Villa is now in third place on the Prem table. It is nice to see someone other than the usual big 4 near the top of the table.
  • The wheels came off at Hull City this weekend as they suffered a horrid 4-1 defeat to Sunderland.
  • Can you believe this? Fulham is 8th on the Prem table as we come close to the mid way point in the season. This weekends 3-0 win against Middlesbrough sent them to 8th and they still have a game in hand.
  • Manchester City on the other hand fell into the relegation zone with a 2-1 lost to bottom feeders West Brom. That wont make the new owners very happy. Time to start spending those billions on some talent.
  • Ten man Arsenal managed to hold Liverpool to a 1-1 draw. Liverpool can't expect to hold the top of the table with all these draws.
  • Chelsea was handed a golden opportunity to take the top of the table after a Liverpool draw. And just like last week, Chelsea let it slip away with a 0-0 draw against Everton to maintain second on the table.

The upcoming weekend will be big with two rounds of games in 4 days.
