Super Sunday? Super for Sir Alex

 

Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 win against Liverpool on Super Sunday and made the gap at the top even bigger with 5 points now separating Fergie’s men with their nearest challengers.

 On paper; United have the best players but after their shaky start to the season and questionable away form, some critics were right to predict Arsenal to keep their lead at the top, however after their shocking slump in recent weeks, the gunners are now third.   The game at Old Trafford saw more controversy surface with this new “respect” issue with refs.

RESPECT THE REFS!

Javier Mascherano was sent off for decent after getting on referee Steve Bennet’s nerves. After all the hoo-haa with Ashley Cole incident midweek, this was no doubt a direct backclash. Cole should have seen red for the challenge on Hutton and the FA should have taken extra action on his ass for his blatant arrogant disrespect for the ref in the aftermath of the tackle.

The FA need to remember that these stupid footballers are role models to millions of kids across the globe.    Even though footballers haven’t been showing respect to refs since as long as I’ve been watching the game. I couldn’t help but notice a particular incident with Steven Gerrard, effin n blindin at referee Steve Bennet, but the Liverpool Skipper wasn’t even spoken to,

CERTAIN PLAYERS PROTECTED!

God forbid any England golden boy would receive a yellow card in this day and age, talk about protected, yeah sure… Bennet didn’t hesitate flashing a second yellow at a foreign player who barely grasped the English language; the Argentine quite simply enquired “why” Fernando Torres was booked even though he was the player fouled. Mascherano should have stayed clear but Steven Gerrard did a lot worse and went unpunished.

FOOTBALLERS VS RUGBY PLAYERS?

 Footballers should look at rugby players for examples of professionalism and respect, for a game so brutal and aggressive; rugby players sure show respect to the umpires and referees, its bout time footballers did too.  

CHELSEA VS ARSENAL

Now back to real football issues.  Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 at Stamford Bridge after going a goal down and after their amazing unbeaten record at home being in threat, Didier Drogba made a nuisance out of himself and scored two scrappy trademark goals, the Arsenal defence just couldn’t deal with him. So Chelsea climbed to 2^nd place whilst Arsenal lost only for the second time all season but the North London side are yet to win in 5 premier league games.

WHINING WENGER

 Wenger this past week admitted the Eduardo incident had affected his players but I think that that Wenger’s team have run out of steam and excuses. They may be young but definitely lack experience and after their eventful 2-2 draw at Birmingham, it became evident they lack a leader too.

WILLIAM GALLAS – CAPTAIN PATHETIC!

 I wonder what was going through William Gallas’s mind during his reaction to the penalty. Why he decided to act like a stroppy teenager who was refused his weekly allowance is beyond me? It was pathetic and no doubt sent a message to Arsenals title rivals that they had cracked under the pressure.  

  No doubt that this was a major turning point in Arsenals season but Eduardo incident is now 6 weeks old, the lad himself has gotten over it, come on Arsene… just admit it; your team is full of tired kids who has over-achieved and should now focus on the Champions League.  So after this weekend, what did it tell us, Manchester United are hitting form just at the right time and are favourites? Are Chelsea serious contenders? Is it just a one-horse race now? Are Arsenal totally out of it? With seven games to go, I wouldn’t bet against Manchester United now, The Godfather Sire Alex has been there and done it 9 times and nobody would begrudge him of his 10^th title. 

Love him or loathe him…. He is a legend.
