Premier League action
Sunday, November 16th, 2008
Weekend premier league football is over. Chelsea continue to play well and are now at the top (level with Liverpool) 8 points clear of United who are in 3rd (with a game in hand). Liverpool beat Bolton 2-1 so kept up with Chelsea. I am still not exactly a fan of Chelsea – mainly because of players like Drogba and Mikel but I am really liking Scolari and his honesty!
United won 5-0, at half time we were 2-0 up but really should have been much more in-front. Ronaldo is now hitting form with 2 goals (freekicks) and one assist. (He has now scored 101 goals for United!) Wish I didnt change my captain in fantasy football team from him to Anelka (although Anelka got a couple goals himself). In his post match interview, he gave praise to Wellbeck who scored on his debut. Looking good for United’s forwards with Wellbeck and also Campbell (whos out on loan at Spurs).
Arsenal lost again – are they out of the premier league race??? They are going to have to go on a brilliant run winning most of their games.
In the other games, the only things worth mentioning were another mess up by Gomes and Owen scoring on his “comeback” – after missing a sitter.
Chelsea out!! LOL

Its Carling Cup games this week and there have been some interesting results. Last night Arsenal won 3-0 playing with lots of “kids” in the team. The kids of Arsenal really do seem very impressive. United didnt have it quite as easy winning only 1-0 with a Tevez penalty. I havent seen the highlights or even goals (thats on later on tonight) but it sounds like United had lots of chances like he have been recently but just not taking chances.
Tonights games involved the other 2 teams in the “big 4″. Liverpool played Spurs and Harry Redknapp has done it and Spurs won 4-2. At one point Spurs were 3-0 up at half time. Chelsea have been knocked out of the competition also losing on penalties to Burnley. Chelsea took the lead but Burnley equalised and it went to extra time and then penalties. Chelsea were first to miss with Bridge having his penalty saved. Burnley missed when it was 4-3 (it would have been the winning penalty). Chelsea made it 4-4 on penalties and then Burnley scored the next. It was then up to the ever lovable Mikel who had his penalty missed!!! LOL. Couldnt happen to a nicer person. If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know I am not a big fan of Mikel. Final score in penalties was 5-4 to Burnley.
After watching the highlights I will possibly have more to say…
MTV EMA 2008
Monday, November 10th, 2008It was the MTV European Music Awards last week held in Liverpool. I have seen little bits of it and seen the results. Pretty much all the winners were from the US apart from Rick Astley winning best act ever!! All to do with the Rickrolling phenomenom which has been all on the Internet.
I missed most of the performances but saw the end with Pink and also Katy Perry. The bit I saw of Katy Perry presenting were quite good. Pink’s performance singing So What was brilliant. Katy Perry sang Hot or Cold at the end which was pretty good too. You can see these videos below:
Ronaldo replacement???
Sunday, November 9th, 2008Football in the premierleague has finished for the weekend. Chelsea won, Liverpool and Arsenal won. United lost (to Arsenal 2-1)….. but enough about that!!!
