Week 13

 

Let’s get at it! City at the top end of the table battling Burnley. Burnley once again gives such a scare to any big club who challenges them. This one was no difference as they took an early lead after the City defense switched off. However, two goals from Kun Aguero, including a game winner that looked like a FIFA online goal, ensured another City win.

Leicester City are who we thought they were: European giants. However, like a woman married to a physically abusive husband, their domestic troubles remain. Really they were quite fortunate to get a draw from this one as they had a penalty that was a clear foul from Leicester and should’ve been reversed. Wes Morgan climbed over Calum Chambers and forced his hand to hit the ball for a penalty. It was the football version of your older brother giving you the old ‘quit hitting yourself.’

Swan Zzz and CRYstal palace. How good could this bottom of the table clash be? 5-4 you say? Well fuck me. This could’ve been the game of the season. Swansea City with first time American-owner Bob Bradley desperately need a win. And they seem to have it as his team have the lead 3-1 in the 70th minute. Then they conceded not 1, not 2, but 3 goals in an utter meltdown! Wow sucks for Swansea. But wait! Swansea get another with a few minutes to go and then in the third of seven minutes of stoppage time they pull ahead to win the cuntin’ thing! It’s Swansea’s second win of the season and moves them out of the bottom slot of the table and puts more weight on Crystal Palace’s sinking ship.

Sunderland came to Anfield looking to park a double decker bus as big as Moyes is incompetent. Large it was and Liverpool lost their talisman Coutinho for 5 weeks as a consequence. But the bus held and it held. And then Origi came on to score an IRA bomb of a goal that broke through the bus. A Milner penalty put it away to secure the Scouser’s three points.

Tottenham started hot against Chelsea with Christian Erikson scoring. But this Chelsea team is patient and confident. They have quality all over the pitch and really work together. We all knew the talent they had in key positions but it’s the players like Victor Moses who are stepping up and making this team even stronger. Tottenham on the other hand look about right on the table at 5th. They can’t beat the teams above them.

Arsenal got their win against a Bournemouth side that isn’t afraid to go away and attack the big boys. They look fierce like they have a chip on their shoulder but simply don’t have quite enough quality to do real damage. Hats off to them though. A chip on the shoulder is what it looks like Arsenal are playing with. They keep getting results and sit right outside the top 3. The opening day loss to Liverpool is the only thing that separates them. Are we seeing an angry, hungry Wenger? If so, the top 3 and Londons boulangerie’s better watch out.
