Another amazing weekend has occured in the premiership this weekend (24/25 feb) Firstly, well what can I say about Man United, a true sign of champions who can win a match that for eighty eight minutes were out played by Fulhum but still won thanks to a fabulous goal by Ronaldo, making it 16 goals for the season. Mcbride had put Fulham in the lead but Giggs had equalised in the first half.  While another pathetic dsiplay by the now almost doomed West Ham saw them loose 4- 0 against Alan Padew’s Charlton, while Wigan beat newcastle 1-0, to keep up a six point gap.  In the rest of the premiership, Liverpool beat Sheffield United 4-0 Stevie Gerrard twice winning penalties and twice converted by Fowler, the first penalty was extremely  dodgey and it was deja vu for Neil Warnock, as Stevie gerrard also was given a dubious penalty when they went to Brammel Lane. Other results included Boro beating Reading 2-1, Everton beat Watford 3-0 away, Blackburn beat portsmouth 3-0, which included Steve Warnock’s first goal and Spurs only just beat Bolton 4-1 ;) thought Robbie Keane who scored twice was sent for a deliberate handball in the penalty area.

This Weekend saw an interesting change of events.
Another to be honest crap result for last seasons FA cup runner up team West Ham, their season just gets worse as the weeks go on and pressure is mounting on Curbishley, after statistics proved that Les Reed had a better record at Charlton than Curbs has at West Ham. However it was also a bad day for former Hammers boss Alan Pardew who’s team lost narrowly to the champions Chelsea thanks to another brilliant goal by Frank Lampard who reaches 10 for the goal tally this league season.
Wigan got some breathing space between themselves and the relegation battle after a 1-0 win over out of form Portsmouth thanks to Lee McCulloch who three weeks ago put in a transfer request after having an approach by Rangers rejected by the club.
Pressure is also on Stuart Pearce, as it seems his team is slipping down the table and at the same time has now decided to devote some of this time to England youth rather than the club’s table position. This all comes after a dismal against Reading, Leroy Lita with two brilliant goals late on in the match, with Pearce having ironically to decide whether to put Lita in the starting line up for tonight’s under 21 game against Spain.
Speaking of Reading, they could be strong contenders for Europe this season.
In the title race and the major game of the weekend, Man Utd destroyed Tottenham with a 4-0 win and several controversial penalty decision’s, one of which broke the deadlock, Ronaldo with his 15th goal of the season, other goals coming from Vidic, Scholes and Giggs.
The other major game this weekend was the mersyside derby at Anfield which ended in 0-0 draw which frustrated Rafa Benitez, who afterwards commented that Everton were ” a small team”. However he claims this was taken out of context.
In another games Boro held the in form Arsenal to a 1-1 draw the riverside, Yakubu’s penalty put the Boro in front with  Senderos being sent off in the process, however another brilliant breakaway led to the captain Thierry Henry scoring the equaliser.
