Although Chelsea dropped points at Upton Park yesterday,it still extends its lead over runner-up Manchester United thanks to Fulham’s 3-0 victory over the Devils.The victory also means that Devils’ lead over Arsenal is only two points now with a game in Arsenal’s hand.
Gunners is the only smiling Big Four last weekend as it is the only team that collected all the three points last weekend.Aston Villa,Man. City and Tottenham keep the pressure on title rivals with their win over Stoke,Sunderland and Blackburn respectively.However,Man. City’s 4-3 win over Sunderland failed to stop owner Sheikh Mansor to sack Mark Hughes.Man. City hence brings in a new manager Mancini,an ex-Inter Milan manager to replace Mark Hughes.
Birmingham’s 1-1 draw with Everton brings down Blues to seventh place,but it is enough to put Blues above mighty Reds by a point.Reds’ unconvincing form this season continues to beleaguer Benitez’s squad.Reds’ lads 2-0 defeat over Portsmouth proves that their problem is getting from serious to worse.Masherano’s red-card liability adds salt to Reds’ wounds.Consequently,Liverpool slips to eighth place,and 8 points behind fourth placed A.Villa.
Wolves’ player rotation strategy seems to work with its 2-0 victory over Burnley.However,Wolves’ player rotation strategy could put BPL’s teams intergrity in risk if every team follows its tactics.Imagine if teams like Burnley put reserves in away games against Big Four.That’s automatic 3 points for Big Fours!!!I do hope Wolves will play reserves in Emirates,so we can play our reserves as well.Our first-team can concentrate on bigger games like C.League games and away games.How good is that for the Big Four!!!
