It was a grand slam Sunday!! United played Liverpool at Anfield and Chelsea played Arsenal. Most of the times these matches are not really that good.
The United match Liverpool were on top of most of the game but United took there chance. Rio was brilliant as was Anderson. Ronaldo had one of those games where it just didnt happen and he tried to take on everyone. In the end it finished 1-0 to United.
The Chelsea Arsenal game finished 1-0 to Arsenal which means Arsenal stay on top. It had some controversy as it always seems to be. Plenty of chances and amazing it was only 1-0. One thing that did happen in the match involved John Terry a few times. First he was yellow carded and I think he could have got a red. There was a bit of scrapping for the ball with Fabragas and Terry cleared. His challenge followed through on Fabragas – he knew what he was doing!!! Later on Eboue (who is not exactly the cleanest player in the world!!) went in for a challenge and Terry got injured. What goes around comes around – Terry getting injured. Chelsea been fined twice this season for behaviour on pitch and its still not great! There is a rumour that with Capello now England manager (more of that in a bit) that Terry will no longer be England captain because of his behaviour on and off the pitch (including trying to grab red card from refs hand).
Chelsea now without Drogba for a few months and Terry will be out for some time (latest is he is going for a scan but its thought to be ankle ligaments damage). More controversy near the end when Fabragas had a late tackle on Cashley Cole who then swung an arm out at Fabragas.
On match of the day 2 Alan Hanson thinks that United will win the title. If someone else is to win it they will have to be above United. (We are now favourites according to the bookies).
Capello
The new England manager has been named and as expected its Capello. He has a great record and will take no nonsense and hopefully get the stupid money greedy footballers to play!! One thing that worries me (maybe worry is the wrong word) but all his past teams are not known for being exciting and English football is about pace and attack etc.
