This is now for Manchester United to lose, they say. Jose Mourinho was cocky when asked about the best League in the world. His Real Madrid side then led Barcelona by a point after dropping 2 points through draws with 12 matches played. In England, the leaders then, Chelsea, had already dropped over a dozen points. He should have just said 'Not the English Premiership'.
Since then, faded Manchester United have managed to regain both their form and top spot without breaking a sweat. United can afford to play badly and win the championship. It is all about them and nothing else. Sir Alex Ferguson have been strolling in the park, and seem to be engaging higher gears. No one is raising a voice and they know it.
Basically, the Barclays Premier League is very low in quality. A one man band. Emerging teams like Manchester City and Spurs, do not have the pedigree to match The Red Devils at all. Chelsea have failed to collect a 'registered mail' United sent them. They are a proud lot delivering less. Arsenal are the perenial nearly men until Arsene Wenger goes or the team is overhauled. Under archiving knows them by name. I cannot even type Loserpool, but it is early days, as you may say.
It was a class act of former Tottenham Hotspur hitman, Dimitr Berbetov who scored a hat-trick and Darren Bent's debut goal that won it for Aston Villa after switching for a cool sum from Sunderland, making the headlines. Manchester United walloped Birmingham City 5-0 and their neighbours, Manchester City lost by a solitary goal to relegation threatened Villa. Arsenal romped to a confortable 3-0 win at the Emirates against Wigan Athletic, with Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Pierse on song.
Liverpool had a fantastic victory over Wolves, winning 0-3 away. Fernando Torres rewarded Kenny Daglish with a great performance and good goals, while Spurs were in a disappointing Newcastle 1-1 draw, Aaron Lennon stealing the point at the dearth. Everton were held 2-2 at home by West Ham.
