For the first time for nearly a century all of the current big 4 – Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, and Arsenal – failed to score on the same weekend. Arsenal were the only side to lose, 3-0 to Man City, to further compound their misery and disarray. This is the most testing period Arsene Wenger [...]
As I write this Hull lead Man City after an awful mistake from Tal Ben Haim – this following on from Everton’s 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough in the early kick off. Yesterday, Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool all won comfortably, while in one fell swoop Villa re-affirmed their top 4 credentials and virtually ended Arsenal’s title [...]
Click here for the full weekend football results from the BBC. The stand out game was the immensely exciting 2-1 Arsenal win over Man Utd, meanwhile Chelsea’s domestic juggernaut continued, rolling through Blackburn, Robbie Keane finally came good for Liverpool in a 3-0 coast over West Brom, and Harry Redknapp’s midas touch continued with 10 [...]
Everton won – thanks to our good friends at http://sportsas.blogspot.com for that one. The rest of the weekend results are below; the highlights a superb victory for Spurs despite constant battery from Liverpool, an entertaining but concerning 4-3 win for Man Utd at home to Hull, Arsenal crumbling under an aerial battery from Stoke (both [...]
A veritable bonanza of midweek Premiership action as all 20 teams took to the field. Newcastle struggled to a win on Tuesday as discussed, but last night’s action was far more entertaining. Top of the bill was a fantastic 4-4 at the Emirates between Arsenal and Spurs. Game of the season without question – and [...]

So… an interesting weekend of football. Utd and Chelsea won convincingly – 2-0 did not do either of them justice – Liverpool won stirringly, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Man City, and Arsenal continued their recent erratic form, scraping a last minute draw against Sunderland on the back of a tremendous 4-0 [...]

Derby finally won a game on Saturday, beating Sheffield Utd 2-1 to record their first victory since a 1-0 triumph over Newcastle at home on 17 September 2007. They now proudly hold the football league record for the longest winless streak. But – who would back against them kicking on now? I’d suggest a cheeky [...]
