Chelsea 2 – 0 Arsenal :  You could apply the same comments  to both teams as you could two years ago.  Arsenal can’t shoot or save and what Does Michal Ballack do apart from foul other players?

Hull 2-1 Man City:  To loose to the Championship team that is Hull should be an embarressment to a sqaud with such ambitions and money.  Mancini has a lot to prove now.

Man Utd 5-0 Portsmouth:  That Portsmouth are to be relegated is now a given.  And the title will be given to Man Utd if teams can’t start to play against them properly.  3 own goals are bad enough, game over.  For the league to have a squad that relies on the clogging ability of  Neville, Brown and Fletcher and that this team can be top shows how bad the rest are.  If not the players then the managers.

If you get a ban extended for your appeal against a ban being frivilous and you then appeal against the extention, is that frivilous or just taking the piss trying to get away with elbowing someone in the face?

So a transfer deadline passes with barely a whiff of interest.  Apart from Robbie, I used to support that club as a kid, Keane heading off to Celtic.  His journey north has always been expected but probably not at the very end of a January Transfer window.  One suspects a ploy to generate interest in the move of a player very much on the wane right now.  His move to Liverpool and back to Spurs and his subsequent lack of return to form is well know.  However what is less commented on is the Transfer polcies of Spurs and Harry Rednapp.  That ‘Arry was always going to plunder Defoe from Portsmouth was a given, but much of the rest of his transfers are questionable to say the least.   Wilson Palacios is the pick of the bunch who has been good, sometimes supurb as the motor in midfield.  But Crouch flatters to decieve and what on earth is Younis Kabul doing back in the squad?  He might have looked good at Portsmouth but I suspect he will be a bit dodgy, again.  Looking at it you can’t see much rhyme or reason to the signings, Eidur Gudjohnsen has been signed why exactly?
