Ah, another weekend of using English footy to cure the hangover. Let’s whip around and see what happened:
-First off, Chelsea were an abortion in losing 3-1 to Wigan. In this space I had said I thought that Chelsea would murder the Latics, due to Wigan’s style of attacking at all times. Little did I know that Chelsea were played as if they were already at the post-game gang-bang and Wigan would be totally on song. Now their keeper is suspended for next week’s huge clash against Liverpool, and a loss there would see them behind both United and Liverpool.
-Fernando Torres is the best striker on the planet, even more impressive when he looks like the kind of dude who wants to express his feelings all the time.
-I would love to be completely convinced that ManUre can’t rely on Ryan Giggs the whole season, but I think he got into Albert Pujols’s toiletries, so who knows what he’s capable of.
-Arsenal finally got a plus-goalkeeping performance from someone, so expect manager Arsene Wenger to revert back to playing Manuel Almunia immediately. And then claim he did not see it.
And that’s about it. We’ll debut “Piss On Eddie Shore”, my NHL column, tomorrow.
