El-classico-again-joy of the Spanish.
The argument about which league is the best between the Spanish and English league will always continue from season to season but those that sway towards the direction of the Spanish should say a big thank you to Real Madrid and Barcelona. On Saturday both teams had met for the 4th time this season and Madrid proved they were definitely the better team. Kick off was earlier than normal as the Spanish FA is giving Madrid enough time to rest for their game against Manchester United on Tuesday Madrid won 2-1 even and with Ronaldo starting from the bench and the plus side for Barcelona was Messi breaking yet another record...he is the highest goal scorer in el classico history. For a couple of years,both teams have had the best players in the world in their squad and very recently the Ronaldo and Messi saga. The intense rivalry makes it even juicier. It is the one fixture that proves too much of everything isn't bad. There are a lot of good teams in the Spanish la liga but the la liga fans should be grateful for a season that you have more than the home and away la-liga matches.
Suarez Suarez Suarez
Its been a couple of weeks and there has been no negative news from the Uruguayan Liverpool striker. He's gone quiet and that will probably make a lot of people not know what to write down in their different columns. This weekend,he is in the news for all the right reasons,scoring a hatrick that makes him the leading premier league goal scorer with 21 goals.Brendan Rogers has said there is no better striker in the league than Suarez and he is definitely the player of the season.I wonder how many of you share that opinion with Brendan? He is definitely a contender for player of the season especially if you can look beyond his penchant for diving and other dramatic features. If keeps up the positive headlines, well who knows.....
Hatrick and the beast
Once again,Sir Alex Ferguson picked a strong side to play against Norwich regardless of his midweek match against Real Madrid. Many had hoped to see Ryan Giggs make his 1000th appereance for united.The BBC had compiled a short video to honor the occasion but Ryan Giggs didn't even make the squad. A man that I personally had forgotten, Mr.Kagawa was in the team and honored his selection with a hatrick,all 3 goals showing composure and finesse especially the 2nd goal as u would think he was hitting an egg.Kagawa becomes the first Asian to score a hatrick in the premier league. United were comfortable winners but Rooney decided to send the Norwich fans home with a bang, a wonderful curling shot at the last minute of the game. Had you been in the stadium the roar that followed the goal would have had your legs shaking like jelly. With 15 points above the noisy neighbors man city)all the United fans hope for now is that there would be that same resounding noise after 90minutes against Madrid.
Rafa Beneath us
There were suggestions that John Terry should be manager for Chelsea because a lot of fans believe that the players will play better for him than for Benitez...hahaha...there were even chants of the great Jose Mourinho to come back to the bridge...wonderful..the fact remains that Chelsea finished 5th last season and are currently in a better league position than they finished with last season.The steady booing that goes on will definately affect the players and the last but probably the most annoying...Benitez doesn't care about the chants. Most likely Benitez will leave come the end of season,a new manager will come in knowing that with no silverware,he'll be out so the soap opera will continue. My advice,get behind your team till the end of season,bring Lukaku back from west brom and donate Torres to charity.
North London derby
Not that the Arsenal v Tottenham needs any more spice to it but to know that this is a battle for champions league spot makes it even more intense than usual. This season for arsenal has been up and down and seeing as they have no hope for any silverware,the fight for a champions league spot is the only thing left to fight for. Spurs have being going from strength to strength and the in form welsh winger, Mr Bale has been unstoppable. Since records are being shattered everywhere Mr Bale had to break one as well and he becomes the first welsh man to score 16 goals in the premier league. His 16th goal opening the score in the 2-1 win against arsenal. This loss leaves arsenal 5 points behind Chelsea and 7 points being spurs. It was 12 points between spurs and arsenal last season but arsenal finished the season ahead of them. Spurs still have Liverpool,Mancity, Chelsea and Swansea to play. Can arsenal still finish in a champions league spot? In Wenger we trust...*coughing*
Well I saw a lot more to talk about but I'll leave you with that for now...I'm off to start my week and hope I have a better one than I did last week....I wish you the best week and u can see if man city can cut back the lead from 15 to 12...
In more words to come..Sabi Boi
