Saturday's done

So it’s official then; Portsmouth and Hull will go down to the championship at the end of this premiership season. After the results of this evening, staying in the premiership is virtually impossible.


Portsmouth lost their seventh game to start the season against Everton; so from a possible 21 points they garnered a total zero/nil points. Personally I don’t see how Paul Hart could have done any better after his team was gutted this off season. Defenders left, then the strikers and then the only decent Midfielder, Krancjar joined Harry at Spurs. Expecting anything more from Paul Hart is impossible. The man cannot do anything with the team he has left. Seeing Nwankwo Kanu, the 40 year old striker saunter on to the pitch after 80 minutes summarised the dire happenings at Fratton Park - An old immobile former skilful sod coming on for some unknown energiser bunny with the skills of Emile Heskey.


But I am happy for the position of Phil brown and Hull; the giant killers of last season have become the meek sheep of this one. The man who thought two great games in London elevated him besides Fergie can barely get his players to respond to his psychological mumbo jumbo. I wonder how long his spray on tan will last. He is being kept off the bottom of the league by the ineptitude of Portsmouth but he is as doomed as John McCain’s presidential bid after he picked Sarah Palin.


Wigan beat Chelsea 3-1 and Petr Cech was sent off; so Chelsea won’t go through the season unbeaten but should still win the league. Surprisingly, Chelsea lose to Wigan on the same day that John Terry says that Carlo Ancelotti can help them win the champions league. SO imagine the scenario; can’t beat Wigan but intend to beat Real Madrid or Barcelona. Good move JT, don’t let your mouth run away like that again.


Tottenham mauled Burnley by 5-0, with Robbie Keane getting four goals; is this the same spurs team that had 2 points after the first 8 games last season. Redknapp must really be a good manager. Ha ha ha

Team News after the fact

It is official now, Arsenal will not win the league this season. In both visits to Manchester, they have dominated and lost. This has happened to Arsenal many times in the past and it is just silly that Arsene Wenger continues his policy when he can surely see it is not working.

Emmanuel Adebayor scored today and has now scored 4 goals in 4 games; Arsenal fans still believe it was good riddance to a good player who needed more money, which Arsenal were never going to give him. Tomas Rosicky is back and scored so it might be good news for Arsenal but with Rosicky he might break down on the bus back to London and be out for another.

Chelsea is my early tip and are grinding out the games and winning somehow without the flair that there owner demands. Of course if he needed flair he wouldn’t employ Carlo Ancelloti, but that is jist for another day.

So Liverpool and Arsenal have lost 2 games and its still September; ManU have lost once and Chelsea are 5 out of 5 and you still think the championship is going somewhere else.

Manchester City is good, Tottenham is good but both of them cannot finish in the top 4 because there isn’t enough space for six teams in the top 4.

Yossi Benayoun scored 3 against Burnley today, is that his season quota blown in one day.

Hull City and Phil “I am a good coach” Brown are in a hurry to get back to the championship, I wonder how many games they will win this season.

And how come Portsmouth was bought by the only poor Arab in the world?
