The weekends action and Monday

I'm sorry I couldn't put this post up earlier but I got sidetracked so here it it is a few days late.

Well its been another action-packed gameweek in the premier league. With the top 2 maintaining their good starts with wins. But if I was to start there I would be being very bias. The only place to start was at Goodison Park were Everton hosted Man Utd. This was a classic and is by far the game of the season so far. Everton started the better team but failed to score when Utd were on the back foot. When they did score, through Steven Piennar, Utd had found their feet and responded with a goal of their own scored by Fletcher. Utd had taken all the confidence with them in the dressing room on to the pitch in the second half and 2 minutes in they took the lead through Vidic. Everton now had to go for it and when they pushed men up from the back for a corner Utd pounced. Scholes picked up the ball on the edge of his box, took it forward a few paces then hit an amazing ball to Berbatov. Distin, who was the only man back for Everton, decided to come for the ball but got the flight of it all wrong and missed it completely. Berbatov was now one on one and buried it in the corner with the outside of his boot. Utd were now cruising and had several chances to score again. Scholes blazed over and so did Nani. While I was watching the game I thought to myself will these misses come back to haunt them. Then I shook myself out of the trance and said ' Everton aren't going to come back from this 'or were they. Even though Arteta scored the goal that gave Everton a point it was Cahill who really saved the day for Everton. First he scored to make the comeback possible Then when the ball was played into the box he headed it down instead of trying a impossible header to grab the glory for himself. Arteta's shot had a bit of luck as it came of Scholes which diverted it past Van der sar. I have talked a lot about this game so I am gonna be quick with the rest of the games. I'll start with Arsenal and a 4-1 win over Bolton means they stay 2nd in the table. I love to see my team scoring goals but the one we conceded was very sloppy. A weak Konscielny back header was intercepted by Lee who took it round Almunia, who was now in no mans land, Lee then chipped it to Elemander who headed home. I think we conceded this goal due to inexperience at the back. Without Vermalean we have a young centre-back pair who need to learn when and when not to do things. Bolton ended the game with ten men and I have to say it wasn't a red card. He basically went through the the back of Chamakh but his studs were down and it wasn't dangerous so I don't know what the ref sent him off for. Chelsea easily defeated West Ham 3-1. The shock from that game was that Essien scored 2 headers. I mean when does Essien score headers? Scott parker scored a great goal but by then it was too late. Fulham may have come away with all three points from their game but they will be without Zamora for at least 4 months after he suffered a horrible injury. He was taken to hospital and needed gas and air to ease the pain. They say he has broken his leg above the ankle. This is a major blow to both Fulham and Zamora as he will find it hard to get into the England squad now. Man City have been very disappointing so far with only 1 win out of 4. They keep on saying the team needs time to gel but its been 3 years since they got that money so I think if the team hasn't gelled by now then something is wrong. As for Blackburn a point is a good result at City and they should be pleased. Blackpool have started amazingly for a team that came up via the playoffs. They have only had one game at home and out of the three away games they've had its won 2 lost 1. If they can keep this up they might even finish without the danger of relegation on the last day of the season. As for Newcastle, they have failed to beat Blackpool twice now in their last 2 meetings and apart from the 6-0 win against Aston Villa it hasn't been a great start to the season. WBA got a great point out of a game they were tipped to lose. Spurs have been delt another injury after Modric was seen on crutches when leaving the Hawthorns. Gyan scored on his debut for Sunderland but the celebrations were slightly dampened by Alcaraz netting a leveler for Wigan. Liverpool carried out a goalless draw at Birmingham. If it wasn't for Reina Liverpool would of lost. I did not get to see Stoke v Villa but Stoke got the win they needed to kick start their season. But for Villa their bad start continues.
