EPL Weekend Review

Game Of The Week: Chelsea 7 – 0 Stoke

Stoke have been unbeaten this year on road. Also they do have the best defense in the league. To score 7 against them under intense pressure is pure class. Chelsea needed to get back to the pole position after their debacle at White Hart Lane to push for the title. What a response. Another great game for them at Anfield next weekend and they would have one hand firmly on the trophy.

Player Of The Week: Scott Parker (West Ham United)

He is of course Mr.West Ham. If it was not for his wonder strike they would still be fighting to avoid relegation. His goal celebration showed how much he loves the club and what respect he has for the manager.     

Goal Of The Week: Nani (Man Utd)

Superb goal by a super player who has at last earned the respect of the fans at TOD. Although scotty parker and Gerrard scored some scorchers over the weekend, but for me Nani’s goal was critical for Man Utd’s push for the title with the game tied at 1-1. He beat Mr.Octopus with a cool chip. He is a sure starter for Man Utd every game, which speaks volume about his improvement over last season.

Grievance Of The Week: Second City Derby (Aston Villa’s Penalty)

It was a poor decision after the replays showed that Johnson got a touch on the ball before tackling Agbonlahor. I say after replays showed coz at first instance I too though it was a penalty. The referee should have been assisted properly by the linesman. Another poor decision that could fuel the TV replay debate. With atleast 10% of the decisions going wrong every other game it’s high time FIFA put their money in advanced technologies to assist the referees. Hopefully there won’t be any such mistakes at the world cup.
