WHAT THE?…THE PREM, ROUND 21

English Premier League, Manchester United

Written by:

WHAT THE? is my weekly Premiership review column where I write about the 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.

Since my cable got rid of the Fox Soccer Channel, it is really hard to watch these games….stupid cable.

  • Liverpool has continued adding draws to their record with a 0-0 scoreline at newly promoted Stoke. Liverpool has had the opportunity to put this season almost out of reach but continue to make minor slip ups….LIKE DRAWING WITH NEWLY PROMOTED CLUBS.
  • Hulls great form at the beginning of the season has continued to slip. Everton managed a 2-0 win at home against Hull to maintain sixth place and just one spot from Europe.
  • Aston Villa has retained forth place in the Prem table with a 2-1 win against bottom dwellers West Brom. Villa’s current form will give them an excellent chance to gain a spot in Champions League qualifying next term.
  • Wigan beat Tottenham 1-0 which had two outcomes. The first being Tottenham still sitting in the relegation zone. The second outcome was the vicious outburst by Tottenham skipper Redknapp that he will need new players if Tottenham wants to stay up in the Prem next season. I guess the honeymoon period is over.
  • The big game this weekend was Chelsea visiting Manchester United. It was a game till the second half and finished with an impressive (or lackluster if you are a Chelsea fan) 3-0 win for Manchester United. Man U are curently 5 points behind leaders Liverpool but have 2 games in hand. The first of those makeup games are this Wednesday against Wigan. If Man U were to win both of the games they would be leading the league by a point.
