Actually, a lot of people have asked me how I came to choose such a wonderful(!) name for the blog. Well, the thing is I was listening to Foo Fighters(everlong.) while creating the blog...so that's the story behind it(pretty lame I admit!) but then this is not an Andy Pender's(www.andypenders.com) blog..so there you go.
Okay, so back to business. Firstly..Manchester United rather Berbatov..WHAT A GAME(thank you, Evra)!!! One may say Sunderland had injury woes..Welbeck wasn't eligible...blah ..blah blah..scream all you want! The play was just imperative by the former champions, and if there is still anyone who doubts Berbatov, just close your browser, go to your room, look into the mirror and pinch yourself hard till you come to reality. I predict Manutd to walk away with the title this season.
Ever heard of a club called Liverpool? You're forgiven if you haven't..so you don't have to go to a psychologist right now. The Kops had their share of christmas present. They will surely have a better chance of winning the postponed match(one might hope for some new players!) but then it remains to be seen if that is going to impact the premier league in anyway. Go gerrard(not to other clubs)!!! That is all the motivation I can give them right now, so spare me.
I'm sorry not to have mentioned Spurs' victory over Aston Villa earlier(Berbatov got to me), Van der Vaart being the man again, it was quite a tussle but eventually they got what they deserved. Looks like Bale isn't back from the north pole yet, but then they've got someone who can turn it around.
Manchester(blue) had a comfortable victory thanks to the "unhappy one." But people, do not get your hopes up! City is as inconsistent a team as the Magpies...but City being richer and more inconsistent won due to their inconsistently consistent players(okay, I got a little high!).
In other matches, Carlton Cole scored a brace to ease to a 3-1 victory over Fulham(like that matters anyway).
DO NOT STOP ME ANYMORE FROM ABUSING CHELSEA(man..i was waiting to get to this part!). Mr.Ancelotti, what's happening...you are managing a team in the same league as Alex Ferguson is. Sure, you won the title last year, but then you cannot rest on that laurel for this season. Drogba is misfiring on all cylinders...defence looks shaky and the midfield is easily outwitted...maybe letting Ballack and Caravalho go wasn't the best decision after all. When there is no Lampard...the team looks completely lost. Essien has been decent so far, but i see no reason to protect Mikel and Ramires. Time to open the cheque book perhaps?
All credit to the Gunners though...excellent performances by Fabregas and Van Persie after their comeback(wonder how long they are gonna last this time). Song is sure on song. Nice move, Mr.Wenger! Ancelotti talked about the "Chamakh" factor...but you've shown that you can go for the kill even without your "header."
The transfer window is looming and looks like Chelsea and Liverpool are going to have a busy period. Till then..wait and watch!
So long then dear readers...at the end of the day I'm just another neutral football fan, so don't be after my blood. Happy new year...!
Ciao..
