Week 21

Tottenham crushed West Brom as they continue to shoot up the table. Harry Kane bagged his hat-trick and Erikson provided another. This really is a different team with Kane, they finally have a goal scoring threat to go with their fluid build up play. To be honest this could’ve been a complete landslide as West Brom looked thoroughly outclassed. Though they won’t care as they sit at 8th in the table and are comfortably safe.

It was all lopsided results followed by a dud this weekend. This was one of those that got out of control. Swansea were so bad and completely out of position on the first goal that Olivier Giroud got injured in the build up and still scored. I’d imagine his bubble bath with Wenger tonight will require dual baths like in one of those Viagra™ commercials. As if to add to the shit season Swansea’s been having they conceded two more deflected goals. In a relegation battle that may come down to goal difference Swansea now sit dead last.

Crystal Palace add more to their misery with a dismal loss to West Ham. Probably the best of crap teams fighting relegation they have by far the superior goal difference of the bunch. Yet they find themselves at 17th, with only their goal difference keeping them afloat. Unlike the other 3 they can score goals. However finding results is ever evasive for them.

Perhaps the most surprising huge result was the Everton win over Manchester City. Everton were all too glad to show traitorous John Stones who the better team on the day were. It was like the guy from high school who went on to be a rich and successful in a bigger city came back and made a complete fool of himself drinking and vomiting on himself. At the end of the day his life is much better, but you take solace in the fact that you remained true to yourself. Or at least that’s what you tell yourself. Alright, this is less about Everton now and more about me.

Is it just me or is ‘the biggest rivalry in England’ becoming just plain boring? Mourinho sets up for negative tactics, even at home. A Liverpool goal to open it was about the only thing that could draw Mourinho out of his shell. His team looked relieved when they now had to play attacking to get back into the game. And Manchester United were probably better on the day. They were certainly lucky. Paul Pogba must have been taking the same crazy pills his barber does. He gave up a penalty with a blatant handball and then choke slammed Jordan Henderson to the ground on a corner that went unnoticed. How he was still on the pitch was a wonder to me.
