ONE love, blood, life
And different from the Premiership top six one. General discussion about football/soccer/etc. (no petty arguments regarding nomenclature please) from England, Europe, and if you want the professional and amateur leagues of Vanuatu.
Weekend Prem Results:
Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
Chelsea 3-2 Birmingham
Man United 0-0 Reading
Villa 1-2 Liverpool
Bolton 1-3 Newcastle
Derby 2-2 Portsmouth
Everton 2-1 Wigan
Boro 1-2 Blackburn Rovers
Sunderland 1-0 Spurs
West Ham 0-2 Manchester City
One thing that struck me as I saw Matt Derbyshire whack a really lovely goal in for Blackburn was that none of the top teams went in for Benni McCarthy. You'd think he'd be perfect for a team like Arsenal - proven striker in the Prem and he's got a Champions' League medal, too. I think he's definitely one of the better players from outside the big four/big five (if you want to count Spurs now). I quite like the Blackburn set up, actually - yes they can and do resort to indiscriminate fouling all the time but they've got some great players like McCarthy, Pedersen, Friedel, Bentley (who knew?), Nelsen and Santa Cruz looks a really good buy.
