God Speed Gary Speed

As a football fan, please have a one minute of silence in tribute of Gary Speed.


OK then, we will commence. A great footballing weekend was tarnished by the untimely death of a magnificent footballer, but as sad as it is, the game must go on.

Now where was I? Oh yes, I had last spoken of a hard fought 1 nil win for Man Utd over the Toon Army. Everything was going on perfectly until Mike Jones... WHO? MIKE JONES...WHO??? MIKE FUCKING JONES awarded the Toons a hugely contentious penalty. Rio Ferdinand had done a magnificent job of tackling that french wanker Ben Arfa and the linesman decided to offer a penalty. A simple decision that would have been solved by video echnology blew the title race wide open. That other wanker Sepp Blatter must have been tinkling his pants when the decusion was made. Enough of that rant. On to the next.

Fulham vs. Arsenal. Well, this game was a quick one wasn't it? End to end. Teams from London have this thing where they can either bore the spleen out of you or leave you at the edge of the seat. This is only the occasion when they are playing teams not from London. But oh boy, when they have a go at each other, be sure to be entertained.

I know you were as shocked as I was when RVP did not score. He has been in such a rich form of vein that if it was possible Wenger would allow him to sleep with his daughter for bringing back Arsenal to life. Theo Walcott is another fella who has been criticized, but that lad has improved. His deliveries are almost as good as the pizza guy's, salivating. The Arsenal defence has shaped up defence-wise after they last shipped in 8 goals in one game. Vermaelen scored a brace in that draw. Interesting, I know. Up next for Arsenal is Man City in the Carling up. A competition where many have deemed it not worth it.But more on that later.

Whatever they are feeding Adebayor at White Hart lane needs to be fed to Andy Caroll at Mersey side. I mean, both of them are tall and lanky strikers, both of them have long undesirable hair, but the defining factor is that big AC cant score to save his beer belly. Adebayor once terrorized the West Brom defense. He had nine shots on target. Who does that??? Tottenham are one point behind Manchester United with a game in hand. Surely this must mean something. Despite starting the season with conceding enough goals from the Manchester clubs, Harry Redknapp has done a smashing job to revive that team.


Before I end this post, I cannot suppress the fact that this week saw some of the best saves in the premier league this season. Lets start with Krul. When I saw Vidic rise to the occasion and head the ball goal-wards from the corner kick all i was left to do was kiss the badge of my MUFC jersey, i was as sure that he had put that chance away. But then its a Krul world. The save that emanated from that header was world class. He made himself big and he blocked a sure winner. At the other end of the pitch De Gea showed why he is a bright prospect. A flash finger tip save over the bar from that young lad.

To the Fulham game, Mark Schwarzer produced a world class point blanks save to deny Djorou a rare goal. from where i was seated the Arsenal fans had already gone on a cheering spree. But you can never take away anything from this games until the whistle is blown.

Another master performance was that of Joe Hart against Liverpool. More on that later.



P.S Barcelona lost and Messi hit the post in the 94th minute. There is a possibility I would have cried if they had equalized.
