Disappointing Weekend

What a terrible weekend it has been. One of the worst in last few years. I don’t remember a weekend when all the teams I supported lost or all the teams that I despised won. Saturday afternoon began with a huge defeat to RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) at the hands of MI (Mumbai Indians). I had thought that this would be a dress rehearsal for the semis or the finals. The poor NRR (net run rate) means RCB are placed third and hence would have to face the in-form team MI in semis. The semis have been shifted to Mumbai due to security reasons and with the home support it will be very very very hard for RCB to get to the finals.


I was hardly getting over the dismal performance of RCB when the Manchester derby yielded a result that could spin the table on its head. I have hated Manchester Utd since I don’t remember when. Hence I always wanted Man City to succeed in the derbies. As usual the men in blue blinked in stoppage time (that is now 3 times this season, twice in the league and once in carling cup). ManU clinched a winner and most importantly gained three points. Man City will now have to perform exceedingly well in the remaining matches to pip spurs to the coveted fourth spot. The weekend killer though was the Chelsea – Spurs game. Spurs started the game at such high tempo that the Chelsea players were left gasping for breath. Spurs beat Arsenal mid-week and now have beaten Chelsea. That’s two title contenders in space of 4 days. Make no mistake, Spurs have been excellent but to beat the table toppers in two match days that’s just shocking. JT was the worst performer for the blues. Schoolboy stuff. Anelka, Drogba, Lampard etc were totally anonymous throughout the game. I wonder if JT is in the right frame of mind to lead Chelsea after the Bridge gate. I just hope that Spurs continue their good form and beat ManU at old trafford next week(which I think is quite unrealistic as spurs are vulnerable away from home). This has been the most exciting year in EPL. I hope Chelsea can win the title and Man City can get the 4th spot.

All the best Chelsea, Man City and RCB.
