The main event this weekend was of course the ManUre vs Liverpool match & in the tussle for 2nd place it was Rashford, in his first start this year, who put the home side up 2-0 in under half an hour & surely booking his ticket to Russia this summer. Bailley, back in the team after a lengthy lay off gave the visitors a lifeline in the second half where Liverpool were denied 3 clear penalties from classic Foullaini challenges. The win closed the gap between UTD & Citeh to just 13 points. So close then.
Liverpool’s neighbours looked to be dishing out another dour display until they were gifted an own goal by Bong to which Tosun added a second, almost snapping the cross bar in the process.
Swansea played over 80 minutes with 10 men & held on for the draw to keep them out of trouble in a game where the Swans had to listen to a Huddersfield opera for a long time.
Southampton slipped deeper into the mire as Newcastle tore them a new one at St Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct Park while Wet Broom, despite taking an early lead, were unravelled by a rampant Leicester 1-4.
At the London Stadium it all kicked off 66 minutes after kick off as the crowd decided it was time to start invading the pitch & chucking stuff at the club owners. Meanwhile, their team was getting their erses handed to them by Burnley who’s substitutes showed true class, letting young Spammers fans sit on the bench for safety. Take a bow lads.
Wrapping up Saturday Chelsea hosted Palace who had been properly mugged last week against UTD. But it wasn’t to be the Eagles’ day who go 7 without a win.
On Sunday, Arsenal, hot on the heels of an impressive win at Milan, took Watford to task in a half empty Emirates &….get this……sit down first though……Petr Cech only only got his 200th clean sheet but he also save his first league penalty as Arsenal’s keeper. You still there?
At Bournemouth it was a horror start for Spurs going 1 down in less than 10 minutes & losing Kane to a nasty looking ankle injury which sent social media into meltdown given the England squad is to be announced on Thursday.
But the visitors turned the game on its head to win 1-4 with even Alli actually scoring a goal. Yes, I know. First Cech & the penalty & next Alli making himself useful. What a time to be alive.
Lastly but not leastly thousands of FPL managers cried out in despair as it was revealed Aguero had been injured in training & wouldn’t play, However, Citeh travelled to the Bet365 to comfortably dispatch Stoke ending their unbeaten run of 3 games in a win that could see the sky blues take the title in the next 2 games.
& in a recap of the FPL, the EIB snatched the week by 57 points with a healthy 488 points
. Still some way to go though as the BB&S hold the lead on 16993 points.
Mish Mosh have the Yellow Jersey once more &, despite playing a triple captain chip on Aguero, eastmidswhizzkid’s Eastmids Whizzkids took the Big Shout Out honours on 71 points.
The H2H was another run away victory for the EIB with 21 points as the chase is on for the top spot where BB&S sit with 515 points
AFC Tigers retain the crown, holding the lead by 3 points this week.
Now we’ve dried the shed it’s fit for welcoming guests. Just ignore the smell. We think it’s socks but no-one’s admitting to losing any.
Mauricio Pellegrino stopped by the other day looking for a place to crash, but Mark Hughes is still using the camping bed until he gets the call from Southampton so we had to decline. However, we think he’s sleeping behind the bins out back. Either that or we have raccoons.
But never mind all that. This week is the last GW before the international break & is going to be a right proper headache for many as only FOUR matches will be played due to cup tie clashes.
On the plus side, it does mean I don’t get the chance to ramble so much in the summary so….hey stop cheering at the back!
Anyway, we have pies left over from National pie week last week, but as a friend reminds me every week, named meat costs extra.
Welcome everyone to the Stadium of Faith for GW31.
