What a Weekend Of EPL!!!

Its the first time ever that I have supported a team to beat Chelsea. The whole terry-bridge saga has divided blues supporters like never before. I personally sympathise with bridge and have to admit that he has not lost his cool in this whole media circus. The way he avoided shaking hands with terry @ stamford bridge and got on with his job was brave and admirable.
Tevez and Bellamy scored a brace for the manchester blues to leap frog the spurs for the coveted fourth place in EPL. The first goal on the break by tevez was freakish to say the least. But this man is just amazing. Having been back in england only 24 hours before the kick-off and having spent most of the time by his pre-maturely born baby girl says a lot about this mans determination and hard work. Great loss to the reds and a great gain for the blues. Bellamy has been sublime this season. I thought he would head towards the exit door after few training ground bust-ups with Mancini. But he has been putting on good shows and is very popular with the city fans. Hope Mancini can persist with him for a long time.

Arsenal v Stoke was another match filled with controversies. I guess Arsenal sweat whenever they concede a throw in with-in the range if Delap's missiles as they don't have a clue to deal with his amazing throw-ins. Stoke scored on the 7th min comming from a peculiar source...yep Delap throw..showcross cusion header and pugh bungles it home. That was the last cheering moment for the home fans. Arsenal got back into the game with a beautiful header by Bendtner. Then the horror tackle on Ramsey by Shawcross (who had been picked into Capello's squad only hours before) which saw him being sent-off. Shawcross is not a malicious defender (shows by the way he his his face under the jersey after the tackle), but the timing on this tackle was horrific. It bought back the painful memories of long-term injuries to Eboue and Eduardo through such tackles.

Aaron ramsey will be out of the game atleast 6 months. This will give tremendous head ache to Wenger as Denilson (injured) and Wilshire (onloan @ Bolton) are not available. Arsenal did win the tie comfortably in the end but their travel back home would not have been that comfortable.
