LAST WEEKENDS GAMES

BARCELONA 3 SPORTING GIJON 1
Barcelona is playing the best football on this planet. Their attacking players have the speed, skill, pace, guile and strength to beat anyone and are already 12 points ahead of their nearest rivals. They have already scored 102 goals in the league. Only a nuclear attack can stop them winning the la liga and are a good bet for the champions’ league.
Samuel Etoo scored 2 for Barcelona and Daniel Alves scored 1 too. Kike Mateo scored for Sporting Gijon


REAL MADRID 1 RACING SANTANDER 0
Real Madrid played well against this ultra defensive team and one goal was just enough to secure the points. Of course, they are 12 points behind Barcelona and have no chance of catching them. Surprisingly enough, they have improved under Juande Ramos and Tottenham might have missed a trick. Liverpool play Real Madrid in the champions league soon and it won’t be a walk over. Arjen Robben has been their best player all season and is missed somewhere in west London.


MANCHESTER CITY 1 MIDDLESBROUGH 0
Craig Bellamy is earning his mercenary pay at Man city. Shay Given proved why he hass been a top goal keeper by producing save after save from Boro’s attack. But if Boro continue to shoot at him, and not away from him he was going to gobble up everything. Poor Boro, they probably deserved much more from this game.
Craig Bellamy scored the only goal of this game


WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2 NEWCASTLE 3
Joe Kinnear was hospitalised and was not at this game; is it a coincidence that Newcastle played with a total lack of inhibitions and deservedly won although they defended abysmally. Well, old habits never die. West Brom pegged them back twice but just couldn’t hold on.
Marc-Antoine Fortune scored twice for WBA, while Damien Duff, Peter Lovenkrands and Steven Taylor nicked it all for Newcastle.


PORTSMOUTH 2 LIVERPOOL 3
Why did Tony Adams stop drinking as he has become a morose, bumbling figure with no idea how football should be played. Managing from a sober point of view must be the wrong prescription. He was sacked this morning so Portsmouth managers do have some sense.
Liverpool was lucky and clearly misses Gerard but against Portsmouth they weren’t made to pay. They will be dropping more points in the weeks to come.
David ‘Redknapps reject’ Nugent and Hermann Hreidarsson scored for Portsmouth. Fabio Aurelio, Dirk Kuyt and Fernando Torres scored for Liverpool.


CHELSEA 0 HULL CITY 0 – BREAKING NEWS - SCOLARI SACKED.
Chelsea started the day still in the premiership race but ended it with the battle for fourth place a more logical race. After John Terry missed from 6 inches (no mistake), the game was more than over for them and were lucky not to have lost this game after Hull realised they could actually beat the big London lumps. Chelsea has the best squad of players a manager could ask for. They have the England, German, and Ghanaian and Ivorian captain but still manage to play like pussies.
Chelsea obviously misses Arjen Robben and Damien Duff on the wings; funnelling everything through the middle crowds the middle where Lampard, Mikel Obi, Michael Ballack and Deco seem to be fighting over control of the ball.
Hull will stay up.


SUNDERLAND 2 STOKE 0
Ricky Sbragia is doing something good here and with Kenwyne Jones on fire will continue to climb out of the dog fight. When David Healy is capable of scoring the things must be looking good. Stoke held on for 77 minutes but eventually gifted Sunderland with an opening when Thomas Sorensen failed to keep out Jones tame shot.
Referee Rob Styles should be demoted to school sports for missing the penalty in the first half.
Kenwyne Jones and David Healy scored for Sunderland.


BLACKBURN 0 ASTON VILLA 2
Aston Villa is doing something right and will be playing in the champions league next year; Blackburn might be playing in the Championship. Martin O’neill’s young team is doing all they need to do by taking one game at a time and playing solidly throughout the team, from defence all the way to quick James Milner and Ashley Young.. Seven successive away wins is not luck. They also inflicted the first defeat on Sam Allardyce’s Blackburn career.
James Milner and Gabriel Agbonlahor scored for Aston Villa.


EVERTON 3 BOLTON 0
Jo spends months in Mark Hughes dog house and in his debut for Everton manages to score two goals. Is David Moyes a genius or mark Hughes a managerial prima donna. Everton have managed to stay competitive with no recognised strikers but a lot of guts from players like Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill and their ugly captain, Phil Neville.
Jo scored twice and Mikel Arteta scored the other one. Too many penalties though

WIGAN 0 FULHAM 0
Eleven men chased the ball. After 90 minutes the game ended. Both managers smiled and shook each others hand. End of script.


TOTTENHAM 0 ARSENAL 0
In a game they both needed to win and didn’t , both managers decided to boast about their domination. Tottenham couldn’t beat 10 man Arsenal but had a better statistical game but Tottenham remain a poor team and Arsenal remain a frustrating one. Emmanuel Eboue has no idea why he gets booed, he is either a good actor or plain stupid, either way Wenger needs to let him go. No one seems to know why he continues to play for Arsenal. Robbie Keane had some good chances but will wake up this morning knowing why Rafa Benitez got rid of him.


WEST HAM 0 MANCHESTER UNITED 1
Man Utd have not conceded a goal in 13 games. West Ham didn’t look like they wanted to change that stat. Ryan Giggs has scored in all 17 premiership seasons. West Ham haven’t played in all premiership seasons
