With all deals done, a sense of calm fell on the PL this weekend.
Kicking off at Turf Moor visitors, Citeh, opened the scoring with a goal of the season contender & looked to be on course for another 3 points. Until Sterling missed an open goal from 6 yards. That was the point when Burnley saw hope & took a late equaliser to save a point.
Over in the Potteries, Stoke took an early lead on 5 minutes against last week’s slayers of Chelski courtesy of a header for the shortest man on the pitch, Shakira. But 2 second half goals in 10 minutes ended Lambert’s winning start.
Football genius, Moyes, took his troops to the seaside too but it was Brighton who grabbed their first win of 2018, taking Wet Spam 3-1.
Leicester were without Mahrez again as he’s still in a strop after the Foxes wanted £100 trillion in transfer fees. But Vardy bouyed them with the first on 17 minutes. But the Swans nicked a point in the second half. On the downside, we didn’t get a classic Carvalhal quote post match
ManUre commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster at Old Trafford in style with a 2-0 win over Huddersfield in a game where newbie, Sanchez was man of the match while, at the Hawthorns, Wet Broom almost staged a comeback against Southampton. But it was the Saints that managed to end a 12 game winless run & haul themselves out of the drop zone.
At the Emirates, old partners, Mick Targaryen & Aubrey Meringue clicked & Ramsey banged in a hat trick causing celebrities the world over to panic as Arsenal thrashed Everton 5-1 giving Big Scam ample chance to throw his whole team under a bus. I wonder if he’s still got all his Rihanna CDs
First out of the traps on Sunday were Palace & Newcastle. & it was Dammit Palace after 22 minutes as the fell behind & Benteke channelled his inner Sterling to squander a hat full of chances.
But a 55th minute penalty snuck in for the home side to leave the spoils to be shared.
At Anfield it took Salad just 2 minutes, thanks to Dier's perfectly timed pass (lol) to give the reds the lead. But, in the 80th minute, substitute Wanyama pulled off a net buster that Roy of the Rovers would be proud of.
But then came the drama, as Spurs were awarded a penalty, despite Kane being offside. And absolutely no contact from Karius. But Karma ruled & Kane’s shot was saved, That move set Liverpool on a break. Salad fired up his rocket shoes & even had time to pause for a penalty appeal before continuing to run through the entire Spurs defence for a sublime solo goal. But the drama wasn’t over as John Moss (not the Culture Club drummer), after another discussion with his linesman, awarded Spurs a late penalty when Lamela dived under a gust of wind from Van Dijk’s shoe lace. It was the last kick of the game & put Spurs level. After the game, Klopp was so incensed that Pochettino had to keep him away from the match officials.
Finishing up the week, Watford gave Chelski a proper mauling prompting a plethora of sports hacks to continue the ongoing speculation over Conte’s future which is beginning to make CNN’s coverage of MH370 look like a commercial break.
In FPL land the IGM swept to a 525 point victory
as the chasing pack try to stay in sight of BB&S’ 1462 points
Nikolas Vitus Lagartija’s Damage Dunfermline really like that Yellow Jersey don’t they?
& Unreal Madrid received the Big Shout Out with a solid 65 points
The H2H week also went the way of the IGM on 21 points putting them level overall with the BB&S on 443 points.
& not content with just the Yellow Jersey, Nikolas Vitus Lagartija’s Damage Dunfermline snaffled the crown too.
So, we have our noses buried in team news here in the shed….well in between games of darts where somebody has snuck a photo of John Moss onto the board.
If Puel is reading, Mahrez is here in the corner sobbing. Not sure if it’s over the transfer or that he found our Love Actually DVD & watched it. But please send someone to collect him. He’s running us out of tissues.
With injuries galore it could be tricky getting the optimal team, but with Swansea’s recent turn around, I foresee plenty of Arsenal players being pulled into the fold
With that said, welcome everyone to the Stadium Of Faith where we don’t need a singing section for that big match atmosphere.
