This past week's English Premier League action saw the "best four" all come out on top as the two pretenders to their domination happened to be both defeated. Aston Villa came back to where everybody felt they would be, & Blackburn moved to where everybody hopes they'll stay.
The 1st big event of the year produced a vintage in forward play and a headache in defensive action as Manchester United beat Manchester City four-3 with Michael Owen popping up in the sixth minute of injury time to claim the winner after Micah Richards went off on his own rather than remaining with his guy.
Mark Hughes cried foul, as the fourth official had originally revealed that the game would only have four minutes of injury time, one minute prior to City equalized in the last minute, incidentally, the celebration lasted for one minute.
Besides, the injury time allotted is a) at the referee's judgment & b) there for both franchises. I wonder if Hughes would offer the goal back if it were City who had gotten it?
For utter amusement the match was a pleasure to see, a true 7 goal affair.
Defensively it was a catastrophe.
Shay Given made 1 of the most horrible blunders of his lifetime for Fletcher?s first, Rio Ferdinand had an absolute blunder & was the distinct cause of 2 of City?s goals.
While Sir Alex Ferguson will be putting Edwin van der Sar into a type of rehab tank to earn him back playing as fast as possible, lets just proclaim that Ben Foster won?t be Capello?s 1st selection in South Africa.
Peter Kenyon's removal from his Lead Executive role at Chelsea comes as no shock, Eugene Tenenbaum isn?t a fan of the ex-United director and he has been living on borrowed time ever since Scolari's sacking.
There is a heap of in-fighting and back biting in the corners of authority at Chelsea that can be likely to disrupt all of the team's good work. - 29967
