With most of the European Big Guns through to the last 16 of the Champions League, the last round of fixtures were more of Academic Importance than anything else.But still there was a small matter of takin first place in group & thereby avoiding the big guns like Barca & Real Madrid,Also united were on their quest to become d first team to qualify to d knockout stages without conceding a goal....
Arsenal with their new captain Robin Van Persie embarked on a journey to d last 16 of the champions league on a cautious note with d first half endin 1-0 in d favour of d Gunners but they were handed a major scare when Partizan equalised in d 2nd half but d introduction of Walcott livend thing up..
He & Nasri scored to put d game beyond Partizan.But that win cud'nt land d Gunners d top spot with a possible date with 1 of Europe's Elite waiting in d next Round.
Chelsea's Didier Drogba returned to d place where he made his name.Though he was given a standing ovation he wud have loved to put 1 past his former club..Chelsea's trouble just don't seem to end,just 1 win in last six permier league games & a defeat now to Marseile has now put Carlo Ancelotti's job on d line.With Spurs,United,Arsenal next for Chelsea u tend to think that Ancelotti is already on borrowed time given d fickle nature of d Chelsea Boardroom.Over to you Roman!
Spurs continue to entertain & enthrall evryone.With Spurs playin u know dat der is never gonna be a dull moment in d match but their POROUS defence may still be a headache for Harry but Spurs can be forgiven on dat front coz they have not had a setteled Centre back pairing for the entire season.But i think with Ledley King returing & ever so underrarted Michael Dawson they may have a better defence come year end.I m tippin them as the Dark horses for d Champions league purely because they have 1 of d most Talented squads & d fact dat dey will have a favourable draw due to their 1st place finish in d Group.
The 'La Masia' / 'Canterra' continues to produce players of the top quality.The academy which is d envy of almost every club in europe continues to churn out outstanding players.Barca played their total B team with all players from the 'Cantera' except Mascherano.Still they won hansomely with a 2-0 margin.Jonathon Dos Santos younger brother of Giovani Dos Santos(currently @ Spurs),looks a real talent hope he fulfils his potential unlike his elder brother who faded from d limelight after promising much @ Barca.Real on d other hand continue to bulldoze d opposition into Submission with d defeat against Barca their only BLOT on a crystal clear report card.Their real test will come in d next round though their 4-0 win against Auxeere was preety impressive.Benzema's hattrick may have silenced his critics for some time but it may not gurantee him a place in d startin 11 when Higuain comes back.CR7 continues his sparklin run of form.He just can't stop scorin @ d moment!
Finally to my beloved united.Manchster united were standin on d threshold of History when dey hosted Valencia @ Old Trafford but were left countin their misses.Anderson had a perfect game & should more than 1 goal.Rooney still not to peak Match fitness as yet but he is improving wid every match.Although i like Berbatov but he is to much of a stop start as a footballer.There is no consistency in his game.If ever u wanted any player to play for your life i don't think Berba wud high up on anybody list,he is too unpredictable for that position.I m sayin dis but i may yet b singing his praises if he put in a shift in d game against Arsenal on Sunday & guides UNITED to victory!
Its a mouth watering weekend this weekend in d EPL with Chelsea vs Spur & United vs Gunners.I m puting my Money on united & Spurs to win.How abt u?
