A section of the Chelsea fans have made predictions on the futures of Reece James and Cesar Azpilicueta. James recently made his Blues debut at right-back against Grimsby Town in the League Cup third round and he was able to https://www.kingsedgestore.com/sacramento-kings-jeresy/cory-joseph-jersey put up a stunning display by contributing in a comfortable.As a result, many of the supporters have been delighted with the impact from the Blues graduate and a few of them believe the youngster should displace Azpilicueta in the starting lineup for the Premier League duties this season.I don't want to get too ahead of myself but Reece James is a generational talent.Azpilicueta, it's time to make way. FutbolChelsea (@FutbolCheIsea) I didnt wanna speak on Reece James until he actually played a match, but Azpilicuetas days are numbered. Daniel Tiluk (@danieltiluk) On the other hand, some of the faithful believe both James and Azpilicueta could fit into the same team and the club https://www.kingsedgestore.com/sacramento-kings-jeresy/daquan-jeffries-jersey -captain should be switched to the left side of the defence in Emersons absence due to a .With Reece James back in the mix, he should become a regular starter at RB. Move Azpi to LB until Emerson returns. Lav (@LavCFC) It might not be a bad idea to move Azpilicueta over to left back and start Reece James at right back until Emerson gets back from injury. Craig Darnes (@Darnzeee91) Azpilicueta has not enjoyed a good start to https://www.kingsedgestore.com/sacramento-kings-jeresy/mike-bibby-jersey the Premier League season and he was culpable for a number of defensive mistakes leading to goals before the first international break. His performances have no doubt improved this month and there is still the anticipation that James will eventually take over the right-back role from the Spaniard this term.In relation to this, few of the fans have said that the 30-year-old deserves respect and it would be https://www.kingsedgestore.com/sacramento-kings-jeresy/tyrese-haliburton-jersey better to support both players rather than criticising the leader of the team.Always find it weird that fans feel the need to bash one player in order to praise another one. You can appreciate James performance without being horrible about a great servant in Azpilicueta. Theyre both one of us, theyre both . This is a team effort. Chelsea HQ (@Chelsea_HQ) The amount of disrespect azpi is getting from fans is disgusting, hes a true blue and been a great servant to us, yes hes ageing and wont keep up the BPl but show some more cla s as fans Ryan McMillan (@RjcMcmillan) Chelsea return to Premier League action on Saturday with a home game against Brighton & Hove Albion and Azpilicueta will no doubt start from the right side of the defence after being rested for the League Cup tie.James, meanwhile, may make the matchday squad after his recent exploits and he could make his Premier League debut off https://www.kingsedgestore.com/sacramento-kings-jeresy/jahmi-us-ramsey-jersey the bench, should the Blues gain a comfortable advantage in the league contest.

After weeks of speculation, Roberto Mancini was finally sacked by Manchester City yesterday. But was the decision to sack the former Italy international justified?In 2009 Mark Hughes was sacked by Manchester City after adisappointingstart to his Eastlands career. As widely reported in national and international newspaper, former Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini was appointed on a three-and-a-half year contract. In his time with City, which lasted just under four years, Mancini won the FA Cup, the Community Shield and the Premier League for the first time in the clubs history. Winning 113 out of 191 matches, giving him a 59.2% win ratio, and spending over 285 million on seventeen transfers, his side fell short of expectations in the 2012-13 season, sitting in second place in the League and https://www.jazzedgestore.com/utah-jazz-jeresy/emmanuel-mudiay-jersey losing the FA Cup final 1-0 to lowly Wigan Athletic at Wembley. Just two days later he was sacked. But the question is have they made the right decision? And will they come to regret it?As said above, Mancini delivered the Premier League title for the first time in the clubs history surely a feat which could demand time and respect? But some might say he should have built on that succe s the only thing he hasachievedthis season was qualification for next seasons Champions League. However others could argue that finishing behind Manchester United was not a failure and that they didnt stand a chance at the league after Uniteds capture of Dutchman Robin van Persie. Remember this is the man who guided his team to a spectacular 6-1 win against their biggest rivals at Old Trafford last season. This result was arguably the game that won them the league that season and City fans will always love the Italian for delivering them the championship for the first time in 44 years. Perhaps it was too big of an ask for him to win it on back to back seasons, especially with the power of the Red Devils just acro s the city.But then again, when you consider the amount of talent he had at his disposal Sergio Agero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva, just to name a few surely his team should have mounted a strong title challenge https://www.jazzedgestore.com/utah-jazz-jeresy/grayson-allen-jersey . His signings of Agero beat an array of clubs such as Barcelona and made world news. Players like these surely are good enough to win the title? The financial backing of the owners is surely something any manager could make the most out of.On the other hand, Mancinis man management skills are something which have been frequently questioned. His treatment of Carlos Tevez resulted in his self-imposed exile, and the striker, who earns hundreds of thousands every week, spent months in his homeland Argentina, mi sing the majority of the season. Constant falling out with players such as Samir Nasri and Joe Hart https://www.jazzedgestore.com/utah-jazz-jeresy/karl-malone-jersey caused problems in the dre sing room and gave the impre sion that he was confused about how to approach his relationship with players. Also, his signing of the controversial Mario Balotelli raised a few eyebrows. Balotelli already had the reputation of being arrogant and a trouble maker, but Mancini waved off these claims, citing he will settle down. But the striker never did settle down and was frequently in the media for his antics, most notably for setting off fireworks in his bathroom and fighting with the bo s on the training pitch.. He was also a menace on the pitch, and after a number of suspensions and controversial actions, he was fined two weeks wages by Manchester City andultimatelyit was this that caused him to make a20m switch to AC Milan. He never showed the same fatherly instincts to other players that he did to Balotelli and eventually it was proved that Mancinis faith was misguided. This takes us onto the next point Mancinis dealings in the transfer market could be questioned. A lot of his signings have also gone onto to make little appearances for the club Scott Sinclair has only started 3 games for the club and Owen Hargreaves made only a single appearances in his year at the club. Spaniard Javi Garcia was signed for 16m last August and was dubbed as a panic buy Mancini had just mi sed out on signing Italian Daniele de Ro si. Garcia has never seemed to adapt to the English game and has https://www.jazzedgestore.com/utah-jazz-jeresy/ed-davis-jersey barely made an impact. Brazilian left back Maicon looked a bargain buy for only 3.5m last summer but has been plagued with injuries, and even when he was fit Pablo Zabaleta was preferred. Patrick Viera was well past his prime when signed and Adam Johnson never seemed to settle in Manchester whilst Jack Rodwell was a bizarre signing as he never seemed to have a place in the team.For a man who has a wealth of experience in Europe both as a player and manager, Mancini only managed to get a 25% win percentage in two Champions League campaigns and never showed the cla s that his side really should have done. His tactical naivety was baffling as he is somebody who should know what he is doing a UEFA Cup Winners Cup with Sampdoria and Lazio and a UEFA Cup with the latter.The struggles of Citys other rivals the season made the former Italy international look even worse. Chelsea had another unusual season, sacking Champions League winner Roberto di Matteo to bring in Rafa Benitez as interim manager, whilst Arsenal really struggled with consistency until new year. Mancinis trophyle s season really shouldve ended with some silverware United were really the only competition in the league and he only had to beat Wigan in the FA Cup final the first team to win the cup and be relegated in the same season, might I add.Considering all of these factors maybe sacking Roberto Mancini was the right decision. The former Lazio and Leicester player had clearly shown hisin-capabilities this season especially, and sticking with a manager so inconsistent wouldve been a move byKhaldoon Al Mubarak that may have been ridiculed by the football world. Po sibly a new face around the training ground will freshen https://www.jazzedgestore.com/utah-jazz-jeresy/dante-exum-jersey things up for the fans and players alike of Man City, and a bit of stability and change of tactics could prove decisive in unlocking the teams true potential and making a real challenge in the league and Europe in coming seasons. One thing is for certain though this is not the last we will hear from Roberto Mancini.

On the 26th of July, Gary Hooper signed for Norwich for a fee in the region of 5.5 million (). Hooper declared https://www.buynetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/jamal-crawford-jersey his move from Scottish champions Celtic a dream. Hooper has stated that his primary objective for leaving Celtic was to play at international level for England as he stated you dont really get a look in up there when speaking of playing in Scotland and his chances of representing England.Hooper has gained compliments from many well respected English managers including the very reputable Harry Redknapp who branded Hooper a proven goalscorer. Redknapps QPR side were on the verge of signing Hooper for a fee in the region of 5.5 million, similar to the fee in which Norwich paid for Hooper, however, their lethargic approach to contract negotiations with Hooper paved the way for Norwich to sign the English marksman on a three year deal. Moreover, many well regarded footballing personalities such as Chris Sutton Ex-Celtic and Norwich player- believes that Hooper will live to regret his move to Norwich.Firstly, it is without doubt that Gary Hooper, during his time at Celtic has built a reputation of being a predatory striker with a keen eye for goal. His 63 goals in 95 appearances for the Parkhead side emphasises how clinical Gary Hooper is in front of goal. Hoopers goal-mouth, poacher style of play fits the rigid Scottish game perfectly. Scoring 31 goals last season for Celtic has sparked huge waves of interest from English clubs such as; Hull, QPR and Norwich. Celtic dominated the Scottish game this season by securing the league title at a canter with Hooper providing the spear-head of the deadly Celtic attack https://www.buynetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-hoodie .On the other hand, Sutton believes that Celtic dominance may https://www.buynetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/james-harden-jersey have gave teams vying for Hoopers signature a false sense of hope in Hoopers ability at Premiership level. Sutton says At Celtic hed be playing in a team creating lots of chances but at Norwich he will have to take whatever chances come his way. Clearly, Celtic did not face much opposition from other clubs during their league campaign, the same cannot be said for Norwich, who at one stage lost six games in a row. This shows that Hooper will have to become ever more clinical to replicate his form at Celtic as key-chances at Norwich will be at a premium compared to that at Celtic. At Celtic, Gary Hooper was regarded as one of the first names on the team-sheet, giving him a perfect chance to maintain a healthy streak of form, paradoxically, at Norwich, Hooper may not be so certain of a first team place on such a regular basis. Since his reign at Norwich began, Chris Hughton has traditionally used the 4-4-1-1 system in which a tall target man plays as a lone striker but, Norwich have made a number of signings recently such as; Nathan Redmond, Leroy Fer and Martin Ol son who are all regarded as attack-minded players, this gives a hint that Norwich bo s Chris Hughton may be changing from his usual style of play into a more flamboyant and energetic approach to the game, this suits Hooper to the ground. Moreover, there is every chance that this new style of play doesnt work for Hughton and may lead https://www.buynetsedge.com to him reverting back to his tried and trusted approach, if this is the case, Hooper may play second in line for the role of striker as this tactical approach to the game fits new 8.5 million summer signing Ricky Van Wolfswinkel perfectly. Therefore, if everything does not go to plan for Norwich in the early stages of the season, Hooper may find himself ousted from the squad, leaving him in no position to play for his country.Therefore, Gary Hooper has taken a huge gamble in his pursuit of becoming an international footballer. He has left Celtic, a club in which he was well-regarded and https://www.buynetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/julius-erving-jersey loved to join Norwich, a club of considerably lower stature where it is po sible that he may have to adapt his style of play to fit into the more physically challenging Premiership to have any chance of playing for England. Will his gamble pay off? Only time will tell.

When Englands name was drawn out and placed in Group D in the world cup draw on Friday you could hear a nation collectively gasp in horror at the prospect of playing world giants such as Uruguay and Italy and even worse we had to play Italy at the dreaded venue deep in the Amazon Rainforest. On the face of it this would appear to be po sibly the worst thing that could happen to us but I think differently as I will explain.We all know what to expect from the Italians, ultimately a steady machine but they dont particularly start world cups that well, winning only 3 out of their last 8 opening games. They have historically made hard work of the group stage on a number of occasions before kicking into life in the knockout stages. They still base their team around Andrea Pirlo who will be 35 when the world cup kicks off. He is undoubtedly still a top top player but after https://www.buyclippersedge.com/los-angeles-clippers-jeresy/shai-gilgeous-alexander-jersey another long Serie A season as well as a Champions League campaign will his legs be able to last. Italy are profe sional and solid but against us in Euro 2012 they could not break us down, yes they had all the po se sion but were guilty of being wasteful in front of goal with the little amount of https://www.buyclippersedge.com/los-angeles-clippers-jeresy/mfiondu-kabengele-jersey chances they had. England have slightly improved since 2012 dont let a couple of insipid friendly performance cover that over and I think we are more than capable of giving the Italians a game. The fact that we play Italy in Manaus rather than Uruguay or Costa Rica is a positive as neither team will be used to the climatic conditions in the area. Its difficult to predict at this stage but its probably one of those games that neither team will want to lose and with the expected humidity and heat concerns I think a draw will probably be the outcome.England will then move onto Sao Paulo to face Uruguay with the might of Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani. Uruguay finished 5th in the World Cup qualifying group of 9 were held to home draws against Paraguay, Venezuela and Ecuador and were beaten 1-0 by Ecuador in Quito. They maybe over reliant on the likes of Suarez and Cavani but take out of the equation and Uruguay are an ageing team that are nothing more than average. Suarez and Cavani are world cla s players and capable of winning games on their own but in World Cups you need a bit more than this. The climate in Sao Paulo is warm but the time of the fixture is near to sunset so it will be expected to be more suited to the English players that said it wont be a negative for the Uruguayans. In summary on their day Uruguay probably have enough to trouble any team in the world but England are good at frustrating teams and its po sible that we may have be able to take something from a game that is integral to England remaining in Brazil past the group stage.Costa Rica will be an unknown quantity to most England fans most will be aware of Bryan Oviedo and Bryan Ruiz who play for Everton and https://www.buyclippersedge.com/los-angeles-clippers-jeresy/bill-walton-jersey Fulham respectively. Other than these 2 they dont have many other players that play in Europes top leagues. They will be no pushovers, there are no easy games at international level apparently but England should beat Costa Rica, they finished second in a very average qualifying zone behind the USA but they did beat the USA at home 3-1. England fans will be aware of the history regarding Belo Horizonte with it providing one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history when https://www.buyclippersedge.com/los-angeles-clippers-jeresy/terance-mann-jersey the USA defeated us 1-0 in 1950. Its not far from Rio so travelling wont be an i sue and also the climate is similar to the previous game. If England dont win this game then we honestly dont deserve to be at the World Cup (unle s we already have 6 points and have rested a few player, then it becomes acceptable). I like most people have the lowest expectation of any World Cup I can remember, we have stumbled through a fairly difficult group and have hardly set the world alight. But there are reasons for optimism, there are number of good young players who have emerged as contenders for the squad, Andros Townsend was nowhere near the squad at the beginning of the season https://www.buyclippersedge.com/los-angeles-clippers-hats but has now become one of the first names on the team sheet and will scare teams with his pace similar to the way Arjen Robben can. It is also hoped that Wayne Rooney will continue his excellent early season form and that the squad can remain clear of injuries. We go to Brazil with little to no hope of winning the World Cup but whilst were there lets enjoy it and lets see how far we can progre s. We will more than likely be 3rd favs to qualify from the group but if we can get through then the po sible opponents from Group C would hold no fear. Anything past the last 16 would be a succe s in my eyes, elimination at the group stage would be deemed as a failure but its not the end of the world, we are in the early stages of rebuilding our reputation and this World Cup should be one to just relax and enjoy the experience without the usual build up of unfounded expectation from the media and the once every 2 year football fan.

Last Friday Southampton sacked manager Nigel Adkins, it was a decision that bemused most people in the premier league. Including Southampton legend Matt Le Ti sier who branded the club a laughing stockAdkins joined the Saints in September 2010 with the club languishing 15th in League One, he completely transformed the club, gaining promotion from league one in second place, 3 points off leaders Brighton. The Birkenhead born manager again worked miracles the season after, earning another automatic promotion to the premier league. The dream had come true for Saints fans, they were https://www.kcchiefsjersey.com/chad-williams-jerseys back. Back in the big time, with one man to thank, Nigel Adkins.He invested in the squad in the summer ready for the premier league, signing players such as Gaston Ramirez for a reported 12 https://www.kcchiefsjersey.com/melvin-ingram-iii-jerseys million from bologna. Jay Rodriguez from Burnley for 7 million. As well Nathaniel Clyne and Steven Davis on free transfers. It seemed the club was set for a year of consolidation in the premier league. They struggled to start with, they leaked goals, conceding 28 in the first 10 games. The pre sure was on the 57 year old Adkins, but he turned it round. The Saints were unbeaten in their last 5 before they sacked him, including a 2-2 draw away at Chelsea coming back from 2-0 down.So the new man, Mauricio Pochettino, a 40 year old Argentinian. He was sacked from Espanyol in November 2012. His record at Espanyol was a respectable one, winning 53 games, drawing 38, and losing 70 of his 161 in charge. His sides are well known for getting the ball https://www.kcchiefsjersey.com/dicaprio-bootle-jerseys down and playing, they play with a typical Spanish philosophy. From https://www.kcchiefsjersey.com/josh-gordon-jerseys looking at how his sides play, its obvious hes learnt his trade in Spain.So, was the decision to sack him justified? For me, its an absolute disgrace. It reiterates why foreign owners are cluele s in regards to football. Surely, the target for Southampton must have to been just to stay up. Under Adkins, they were doing that. A midseason change of manager could jeopardise that. Its unfortunate because Southampton are good side, they arent the biggest of clubs but their fans deserve premier league football. Adkins had given them that, he had developed his own squad, a blend of youth and experience. Adkins had earned the right to build https://www.kcchiefsjersey.com/creed-humphrey-jerseys a potential legacy, a side that could compete in the premier league for the next 10 years. But its all been taken away from him because of plain idiocy from the owners. It would serve them right if they got relegated but I dont want that for them, it would be unfair on the fans. After all, football without the fans is nothing.

Arsenal saw their winle s streak in the Premier League extend to five matches following a against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.The north London https://www.shopprosabres.com/dominik-hasek-men-jersey side were on the backfoot within the opening 10 minutes where Danny Ings scored for the Saints but they made a comeback shortly after with Alexandre Lacazette levelling the scores.After the half-time break, the Gunners looked lively with the change from a 3-4-1-2 to the traditional 4-2-3-1 formation, but their failure to capitalise on the early string of chances eventually cost them in the form of points.The Saints scored for the second time through James Ward-Prowse following the hour mark but they could have quite easily bagged another two to three goals with https://www.shopprosabres.com/patrik-berglund-men-jersey some better composure and finishing. Ultimately, the Gunners salvaged a stalemate with Lacazette scoring a late equaliser in the sixth minute of injury time but the celebrations were mute as the result was nothing to be proud of.Three things we learned from Arsenals stalemate:Poor defensive record: The Gunners had gone into the game with just two clean sheets in the Premier League this term and their defensive concerns continued against the Saints as they conceded their 18th and 19th goal of the campaign in just their 13th league game. Things could have been much worse for the Gunners, considering the Saints squandered at least two to https://www.shopprosabres.com/zach-bogosian-kids-jersey three clear-cut chances on goal. David Luiz was guilty of switching off for the opening strike from Danny Ings but Sokratis was undoubtedly the worst performer in the defence as he frequently gave away po se sion in and around the Gunners box.Relief for Alexandre Lacazette: Lacazette had gone seven matches without finding the net before the Saints clash, but he made amends with a match-saving brace. The goals basically resulted from defensive errors from the Saints but the Frenchman still needs to be applauded for making the best use of the chances which came to him. The Frenchman was rather subdued with no celebration for his goals but on the positive point of view, the clubs faithful should be pleased with the striker returning to scoring ways for the first time since the north London derby https://www.shopprosabres.com/thomas-vanek-women-jersey in early September.Unai Emerys future: Before the Southampton game, it was highlighted that the Spaniard with a run of six matches to https://www.shopprosabres.com/scott-wilson-men-jersey save his job. However, the performance against the south Coast outfit was far from impre sive and it can be said that the Gunners were lucky to pick up a draw, considering the number of clear-cut opportunities which were squandered by the visitors. This has undoubtedly infuriated most of the supporters and it will be interesting to see whether the board may rethink on their stance after just one game following the international break.

Much has been made of late surrounding the greed thats now living and breeding within football, particularly since the introduction of a po sible European Super League a few weeks ago.But dotted around the country are clubs filled with players, managers and fans that are simply pa sionate about football.Most of them arent in it for the money they enjoy being involved in the beautiful game in its rawest format and play for the badge on the front of their shirt.Of course, these are clichs, but theyre true. Football outside of the top four divisions in England does exist, and its given the umbrella name of non-league. Heres https://www.shopprorangers.com/james-patrick-jersey an insight into what supporting one of those clubs is like. What does it entail?This really depends on each individual person and the club in question as to the level of support they will give their non-league club.For the most part, people will have an affiliation to a Football League or Premier League club but also show their support to a team lower down the pyramid.These people may never go to their first teams games for various reasons, perhaps pricing, but will watch their non-league sides fixtures live each week.Alternatively, they may choose to have the best of both worlds and attend fixtures of each club if theyre fortunate enough to do so. For instance, Im a Bolton Wanderers (League Two) fan but also support Atherton Collieries in the seventh tier of English football.Where it normally differs though is in the National League system, which consists of one nationwide league and two subsequent North and South divisions. In the National League, promotion to the Football League can be earned, and most sides in there have full-time fanbases.Generally, https://www.shopprorangers.com/steven-kampfer-kids-jersey this is for one of two reasons. Either the club has previously been in the Football League and fans have stuck around as it has fallen over the years like Torquay United or the club has carried fans over having been reformed when a previous club is entered into administration.A good example of this is FC Halifax Town, whose fans carried over into the new club when the old one di solved in 2008.As for the North and South equivalents, this is entirely dependent on each club individually but as a generalisation, most clubs do have part-time fanbases where supporters will take the non-league club on as a second team and have a more favoured team in the Football League or Premier League.Into the Northern Premier League and below, there are few clubs with full-time fans.Why is supporting a non-league club different to one in the 92?Although youre still watching 11 people kick a ball around https://www.shopprorangers.com/marc-staal-men-jersey in the hope of seeing them score more goals than an opposition side, the difference comes with the overall connections you are able to make at a club.Most clubs excluding in the National League and some of the teams in the North and South divisions have a real family feel to them when you walk through the gates.Many club officials, players and other fans are willing to have a conversation with you be it about the game thats being played, football in general or something of a wider context.Added to this, the pricing structure acro s the board is much le s than the vast majority of clubs in the 92. Without having the complete statistics to hand, there arent many season tickets, single-game tickets, food and drink prices more expensive at a non-league club in comparison to a Football League club.Of course, there is the argument when discu sing ticket prices that you wont be seeing top quality players and entertainment compared to a 92 club, and thats true.However, non-league players will give everything that theyve got in games because https://www.shopprorangers.com/eddie-giacomin-women-jersey it means so much to them. A lot of players will be playing for their local side and will want it to do well whether theyre there or not.Taking tickets away though, theres little difference in what youre going to get served up at a game. Programmes, food and drinks are all much of a muchne s, so why should you have to pay an extortionate amount for them? You shouldnt and wont at most non-league grounds.Should you support a non-league club?Yes, football fans should go and give non-league a try at the very least. Lower league sides desperately need the money, even more so because of COVID-19.Most havent been able to play many games at all since the start of the pandemic and their sole source of income matchdays has in turn disappeared.They need people to go through the gates and want to show individuals a good time when they can play hosts again, which should be soon if all goes to plan with the governments exit plans from the pandemic.If you dont like what you get then thats fine, but at least youve tried, and you can do so for under 15 in most grounds outside of the National League system. Even le s if youre a student, or a conce sion.Nothing beats live football, https://www.shopprorangers.com/cody-mcleod-men-jersey so go and taste it at your local club!

Game of the weekendManchester City 2-3 Manchester United Two years unbeaten at home unbeaten all season Sergio Aguero ninety three minutes and twenty seconds Q.P.R final day. Months of Manchester City runs, months of repeats, reminders and torment for Manchester United, came to an end as they tasted revenge of the sweetest kind.Robin van Persies injury time winner gave United a vital three points over neighbours City to put them six points clear at the top of the table.United had raced into a two nil half time lead thanks to a brace from Wayne Rooney but City showed their mental strength again by pulling the game back to 2-2 with just five minutes to go. A wrongly disallowed third United goal and a po sible penalty were insignificant as Robin van Persies 91st minute free https://www.shoppropanthers.com/paul-thompson-jersey kick deflected off a half arsed Samir Nasri to secure the points.A pulsating Derby ended on a sour note as City fans raged in the stands. Coins pelted down as the United players celebrated their victory with Rio Ferdinand suffering a cut eye. For https://www.shoppropanthers.com/ian-mccoshen-women-jersey Manchester City it was very typical, throwing money at their problems once again. Problems which extend to being out of Europe and off the pace in the title race, but after recovering from an eight point lead with just five games to play last season, youd be a fool to write them off just yet.West Ham AKA England B'(more on this later) 2-3 LiverpoolThe question of how Liverpool would cope without the loveable Luis Suarez was answered emphatically as they hit the net three times in another excellent game. Glen Johnsons stunning opener showed all his prowe s going forward but he was exposed defensively again as West Ham turned things around before half time.That was as good as it got for Big Sams men though as Liverpool turned it around in the second half. Former footballer Joe Cole surprising everyone (including himself) by equalising, before a man named Jonjo forced James Collins into scoring an own goal. Liverpool have now won their last two games, the first time theyve done this since the backpa s rule was introduced. They also now find themselves just a few points off the Champions League places.Everton 2-1 TottenhamTottenhams nack for bottling rared its ugly head again as they threw away a lead for the seventh time this season. American Gangster Clint Dempsey had put Spurs ahead with probably the worse goal youll see all season but two injury time goals won it for Everton. The race for fourth continues to heat up but it appears to be a race that nobody actually wants to win.Best of the RestArsenal beat West Brom thanks to two suspicious penalties, unfortunately for Arsenal theyre so far down the table that nobody actually cared, except for maybe https://www.shoppropanthers.com/sergei-bobrovsky-women-jersey West Brom.Fernando Torres kept up his run of scoring against terrible opposition as he struck twice during Chelseas 3-1 away win at Sunderland.Harry Redknapp has turned Q.P.R from the team that never win.. into the team that still never win, two goals a piece as they were held at Wigan.Aston Villa and Stoke took some throw ins in a stalemate at Villa Park, Norwich continued their very strange unbeaten run as they shared a seven goal thriller with Swansea, whilst Southampton beat Reading.And finally on Monday Night Alan Pardews eight year deal lost 2-1 at Fulham.Too Good Too BadManchester United Coin Throwing WatchIt appears https://www.shoppropanthers.com/james-reimer-kids-jersey a Manchester United player(s) scoring and celebrating a goal, is the signal for opposition fans to pelt them with coins. At Stamford Bridge Javier Hernandez suffered from the torrent of copper and at the Etihad on Sunday it was the whole United team.Perhaps its time Sir Alex had a word with his players for having the audacity to score and celebrate goals. If this disgusting behaviour continues from Fergies boys, youd hope the FA would step in and have some words.West Ham England B/ Big Sam job applicationStill disillusioned with not getting the England job, Sam Allardyce is using West Ham as his personal experimentthis personal experiment?. to finish in the top six of the Premier League by using English players not good enough to play for England.At one stage on Sunday West Hams team included SIX English players Noble, Nolan, Jarvis, Taylor, Cole and Tomkins.Players whove either a) been mistakenly capped or called up by England, or b) mistakenly mentioned for po sible England call ups. Gary ONeil and the unplayable Andy Carroll both mi sed Sundays match but fall into the above categories.Rafael Benitez non celebrationLast week against West Ham, Chelseas first goal under Benitez was greeted by the return of his famous non celebration.This famous non celebration involves Rafael Benitez refusing to smile or show any emotion or joy in response to the fact his team has just scored a goal. Instead it involves Benitez making several obnoxious tactical hand gestures https://www.shoppropanthers.com/nick-bjugstad-kids-jersey , as if hes just single handedly crafted the goal himself.
