• Tottenham again drop easy points against Wigan (0-1 loss). Results like this is why they struggle to finish in the top 4 most seasons and will never win the Prem
• Man U and Chelsea both won….meh
• Blackpool tied Fulham 2-2. These points will really help them stay above relegation come the end of the season if they can keep it up
• Man City lost to Sunderland. Tevez missed an open goal… and I mean OPEN.

Overall not a crazy interesting week in the Prem. The teams are off next week as Euro 2012 qualifying starts.

• Chelsea continued their strong start with a 6-0 thrashing of Wigan. Drogba had a hat trick, all with his feet (no hands…nice)
• Backpool was brought back to reality with a 0-6 lost to Arsenal that saw Walcott score a hat trick
• And to continue the 6-0 beatings, Newcastle beat Villa bad…poor Friedel
• Man U dropped 2 points with a 2-2 tie at Fulham. Man U missed a late penalty kick and Fulham even had an own goal. Can I redo my EPL predictions?
• Liverpool’s season is almost over…just saying (lost to Man City 3-0)
• Tottenham’s Bale had the sweet goal of the week in a 2-1 win over Stoke (can’t find a good video of it)

• New boys Blackpool came out flying with a 4-0 win at Wigan
• Joe Hart had a super hero day as the Man City keeper stopped at least 3 goals against Tottehham. The game ended in a draw
• Chelsea came out with guns ablaze with a 6-0 home win against West Brom.
• Liverpool and Arsenal tied in an entertaining game. Joe Cole got a red card in his first game for the reds, Liverpool scored after going down to 10 men to take the lead, then Liverpool keeper Reina accidentally knocked a Arsenal shot into the goal at the end of the game
• Man United welcomed Newcastle back to the Prem with a 3-0 beating
• David Jones for Wolverhampton had an awesome goal from a free kick (see video below)

• Since the top of the Prem was decided last week, this week was a fight to stay up.

• Hull City, which got off to a fantastic start to the season, lost to Manchester United 0-1 but manages to stay in the top flight by one point.

• Middlesbrough lost to West Ham 1-2 which was the final nail in the coffin as they will play in the Championship next season.

• Newcastle had a rather sad game as an own goal by Duff and the resulting loss 0-1 to Aston Villa saw them relegated.

• Fulham lost to Everton 0-2 but managed to stay above Tottenham for the critical seventh place on the Prem table to play European ball next season.

• West Brom was relegated last week and tied Blackburn 0-0 in the final game of the season.

• Chelsea’s Anelka scored the most goals this season with 19, followed by Ronaldo with 18 and Gerrard at 16.

• Manchester United secured the Premier League title with a 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
  

• Fulham held on to the critical seventh position with a 1-0 win against Newcastle. Tottenham is only two points behind Fulham going into the last week.

• West Brom lost 0-2 against Liverpool to be the first confirmed relegated team.

• Going into the last round, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Hull are all fighting for their Premiership lives.

• Fulham beat Aston Villa 3-1 to move into a position to play European football next season. Fulham was a preseason favorite to be relegated. Fulham are currently in seventh place on the Prem table.

• Chelsea beat the crap out of Arsenal 4-1. At this point in the season it does not matter because Arsenal has secured a spot in the Champions League and Chelsea has nothing better to play for at this point.

• Manchester United played two games this round. The first was a 2-0 win against Manchester City in the Manchester Derby. Then Man U beat Wigan 2-1 to finally make up the game they were behind. Manchester United is now 6 points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table. One more point in the last 2 games and Manchester United secures the Prem title.

• Okay, so I missed Round 34 of the Prem. I have been…busy…you know. So on to Round 35.
  

• Even though Aston Villa beat Hull 1-0, Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Portsmouth have put them 10 points ahead in the race for the critical forth spot on the Prem table. There are only 3 games left so Villa has no chance to catch Arsenal.

• Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 2-0 to go three points clear at the top with a game in hand.

• Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Fulham has helped keep the pressure on Liverpool for second. Chelsea are six points behind Manchester United.

• Liverpool will fight to the end to catch Manchester United. A 3-0 win against Newcastle has kept them within 3 points.

• Aston Villa has all but lost the chance to catch Arsenal for the forth spot with a 1-1 draw against West Ham. Villa is eight points behind with five games to go.

• Chelsea’s 0-0 draw with Everton all but killed their chance to catch Manchester United at the top. Chelsea are six points behind Man U which also has a game in hand.

• Manchester United continues to drive for the title with a 2-0 win against Portsmouth.

• The big game this weekend was Liverpool against Arsenal. I was not very impressed with Russian Arshavin and was not sure why Arsenal pushed so hard to acquire him. Then he went out and scored four goals against Liverpool. And that is why I am a football blogger and not a scout or coach. The game ended in a 4-4 tie which opened Manchester United’s lead over Liverpool to 3 points plus a game in hand.

• Arsenal continued their march toward Champions League football with a win against Wigan 4-1. Arsenal now has an eight point lead the fifth position.

• Aston Villa are trying to catch Arsenal for that forth spot tied Everton 3-3 on Sunday. Villa has now gone 10 games without a win after having a sizable points lead over Arsenal for the fourth spot.

• Tottenham has climbed out of the bottom half of the table with another win, 1-0 over West Ham.

• Bolton scored three goals in eight minutes but it was not enough to overcome a four goal deficit to Chelsea. The game ended 4-3 in Chelsea’s favor. Chelsea is in third place a four points behind the league leaders.

• American Clint Dempsey scored twice to lead Fulham to a 3-1 win over Manchester City. Fulham, who was a preseason relegation favorite, is now sitting in eighth place with six games left in the season.

• Liverpool pounded Blackburn 4-0 in the race to catch Manchester United. Liverpool is only one point behind United.

• Manchester United needed a late goal to beat Sunderland and hold onto a slim lead in the Prem. United also has one game in hand.

It was a rather boring week in the Prem (other than a couple of last minute goals):

• Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-0 to hold on to 3rd place in the table. Currently four points behind league leaders Manchester United.

• Liverpool needed a 92nd minute goal to beat Fulham 1-0. Liverpool is currently in second place by one point.

• Arsenal beat Manchester City 2-0 to take an even larger lead in the race for the 4th place against Villa. Arsenal are now six points ahead of Villa.

• Aston Villa fell further out of the race with a 2-3 loss to Manchester United. United needed a 93rd minute goal by a Teenage substitute Federico Macheda, 17. Manchester United are only leading the table by one point but does have a game in hand.
