Tribute Editon
Just realized that during the recent weeks I haven’t had a chance to update my blog so what better time to update it before we head into the Thanksgiving festivities. I just wanted to start this blog by paying homage and tribute to one of the finest players of football. You see no matter what the political views of a player are, what race, religion or creed he follows it doesn’t matter. What truly matters is the talent and respect for the game. I know these are not easy terms to define, but I will share a clip with you that will truly embody all that I have mentioned above and much more. This is for all the fans of football, Paolo Di Canio and his embodiment of football. This is why I love football. I have rarely seen such instances in American football and less and less I have seen this happen in EPL and other football leagues around the globe. It’s about going for the jugular at no cost. This play embodies that no matter what, it’s only a game and you can transcend the bounds of football by actions like these.
On to the table then lads! Manchester United and Chelsea seem to be in complete control of the table with their winning ways. Diedre Drogba at Chelsea seems to have found his stride after staying 2 years at Stamford Bridge with absolutely marvelous goals scored (including a hatrick) against some of the tough opponents they have faced recently. Same goes for Manchester United, as Ole Gunner, Louis Saha, and of all people Rooney have started to gain form. Arsenal on the other hand have been successful in maintaining a sight on the target, and even though they are currently sitting in the fifth place, they have two games in hand, but the coming weeks will test the mettle of the gunners. Portsmouth, Bolton, and Fulham continue their impressive runs this season. Each of the teams has not only maintained their position in the top half of the table, they have stymied the midfield and defenses of the opponents.
On the other hand, Manchester City, Newcastle and West Ham United have denigrated into the bottom feeders. The situation at Newcastle is getting desperate as injuries mount and Martin Jol is coming under heavy fire from not only the fans, but also the patrons of St. James’ Park.
Watford, Sheffield United, and Reading are adjusting to their new homes in EPL, while Wigan are back to their winning ways as they so often showed last season. Spurs on the other hand are continuing their slow climb through the table, even though their season started a little slow. The most enigmatic team this season is Liverpool. Even though they are in the top half of the table, Rafael Benetiz has not had the easiest time with a plethora of good players. The starting lineup has changed throughout the year, and still many players are not sure if their position is guaranteed. Yet players from Liverpool have produced some breathtaking goals this season with Xabi Alonso and John Arne Riise scoring goals that will contend for goals of the season. Blackburn and Middlesboro have been very inconsistent but yet they are on the opposite spectrums with Blackburn maintaining their position in the top half whereas Garreth Southgate trying to rouse his team to do better.
Even though a quarter of the season is over, the picture in the top half or even the bottom half of the table is not clear. With Manchester United and Chelsea leading the Charge and Portsmouth, Bolton, and Arsenal keeping the top two teams in sight. Come January’s transfer market, things are sure to heat up.
