Show 23 :: Musical Chairs at the Top…
So another – rather stuttering – week of fixtures flies by along with Carling Cup matches, the lifting of transfer bans and still not THAT much activity on the transfer market. We can’t remember a season where we’ve had 3 different leaders in a week! The first Silverware of the season will go to either Villa or Man Utd as they meet in the final of the Carling Cup later next month. Things are hotting up with a raft of weekend and midweek matches so stay tuned to get your weekly regurgitation of the events in the Prem from AGOTH in this Show 23.

Great show this week! I’m grinning from ear to ear after that epic Manchester derby last night.
The missiles thrown at bellamy was disgusting (though not entirely shocking). You mentioned that the bottle was plastic, and I’m glad to hear that. I saw that crash near bellamy and thought “if that glass bottle hit him from that trajectory, he be seriously hurt”. Though plastic would still do damage. All in all though, that coin incident might have taken momentum out of city (at least bellamy) for that corner and then united go down and the ginger prince puts united ahead.
United rely on Rooney, yes, but I don’t think it is too much reliance. All teams rely on their great players, its just about keeping them from burning out (hard to burn wazza out though!).
This merry-go-round at the top of the table is very exciting and intense, though with the game in hand Chelsea is still looking favorites. The next month for united and mainly arsenal will be telling to see if they will contend.
Gerrard needs to stop bs-ing and face facts: the wolves game is 2 points dropped for liverpool. Liverpool were quite shocking in that game, and it seems that the spurs win might have been (another) false dawn…hopefully.
I didn’t pause my ipod and vomit at Mark’s “mal-tweeted” remark Chris, I chuckled out loud! Haha. Classic.
Everton’s rise is just as fast as Sunderland’s fall. Bruce needs to turn it around, and quickly.
You guys are spot on with burnley’s fall. They look like they’re trying to emulate hull from last season (though didn’t get as high as hull did). Owen coyle might have jumped ship at the right time, though arguably him leaving doomed burnley in itself.
Arsenal-United this weekend is clearly the match of the weekend. I hope united is up for the match, though I fear Rio won’t be there since he is likely to be banned for the violent conduct charge. I think it was worth it denying the charge and playing in the game last night though. Especially considering accepting it would still mean not playing against arsenal. I think it will be Fletcher and Carrick in the middle, hopefully those two can stifle Fabregas.
You’re right mark, Steve Bruce has had some bad luck. But even worse luck for Paraguay’s Cabanes: English football team looking to bring you in (Bruce at
Sunderland) and then you get attacked in a bar and shot in the head. Prayers out to him and hope he’ll survive.
Poor brighton, Chris. Gave villa a good game though.
