Three of the 'big four' played today (Chelsea game is sunday) as did the young pretenders Hull and Villa. Arsenal traveled up to Middlesbrough and to what I thought would be to victory. Boro have been both good and unlucky this season. Today was no different. Arsenal took the lead but could not hold on to it for long. 1-1 by half time. The game stayed that way but Boro should of had a penalty after a foal from Clichy (who hasn't been half as good as he was last season). Three o'clock gave us the Liverpool Hull game. This week Benitez has written off liverpool's title chances and then clarified that they are infact 80%. If they're top at christmas. Ok. As with the arsenal game I went for the big boys to win. After 22 minutes and two hull goals I wasn't too hopeful. Remember when I said liverpool were going to struggle to score with out Torres? Ten minutes later Gerrard had leveled things up. Four goals in 32 minutes and then... nothing. Well there were a bunch of chances but 2-2 is how it ended. Here are the other 3pm kick offs and my predictions:
Villa 2-0 Bolton
City 1-2 Everton
Stoke 1-0 Fulham
Wigan 2-1 Blackburn
Villa are fast becoming the most exciting team in the league. 4-2 doesn't really do villa justice. They were by far the better team. I really, really hope they finish 4th. Arsenal just don't deserve it as much as Villa do. Two goals for everton when they have no fit strikers was a bit of an ask. Still city don't look like they are worth there money. And it took till injury time till everton proved me right. 1-0. Stoke 0-0 fulham. I've already said too much. Next we move to Paul Ince. Right now he just needs a win to quiet all the critics. What he got was a shitty performance and a three nil thrashing. I really don't want to respect steve bruce but he does have a good team at wigan.
The late kick was Spurs Man U and a chance for the champions to close the gap on liverpool. After last weeks last minute winner and a draw midweek I figured Spurs what get the crap kicked out of them as Man U bounce back into form. And the visitors did control most of the game. Lennon was a highlight for Spurs who had their chances. But neither team managed to break the deadlock. 0-0
Tomorrow Pompy play Newcastle and chelsea host west ham. I don't rate zola's chances. But west ham do have one hope. The game is at stamford bridge, if it was a upton park then they wouldn't stand a chance.
