This past week’s EPL activity saw the “best four” all come out on top as the two fakers to their authority happened to be both beaten. Aston Villa came back to where every person felt they might be, and Blackburn moved to where everybody thinks they will stay.
The first large derby of the year produced a classic in forward play & a nightmare in defensive play as Manchester United beat Manchester City four-3 with Michael Owen popping up in the sixth minute of injury period to claim the victor after Micah Richards went walkabout instead of staying with his man.
Mark Hughes cried foul, as the fourth referee had at first acknowledged that the game would only have four minutes of injury time, one minute prior to City equalized in the last moment, incidentally, the celebration continued on for one minute.
Moreover, the injury time allotted is a) at the referee’s judgment and b) there for both organizations. I wonder if Hughes would give the goal back if it were City that had gotten it?
For absolute amusement the match was a delight to see, a real seven goal affair.
Defensively the game was a failure.
Shay Given made one of the most awful mistakes of his lifetime for Fletcher?s 1st, Rio Ferdinand had an absolute blunder & was the distinct cause of 2 of City?s goals.
While Sir Alex Ferguson will be putting Edwin van der Sar into a form of healing tank to win him back playing as quick as viable, lets just proclaim that Ben Foster will not be Capello?s first selection in South Africa.
Peter Kenyon’s removal from his Lead Executive role at Chelsea comes as no surprise, Eugene Tenenbaum is not a buff of the ex-United director and he has been living on borrowed time ever since Scolari’s dismissal.
There’s a mass of in-battling and back biting in the pockets of authority at Chelsea that might be likely to derail all of the team’s great work.
