Goals Galore !

Lots of goals were scored over the weekend and plenty of action took place on the football field. Racking up the goals were Man. Utd and Barca who humiliated their opponents hands down. (although Jose M will refute that). Man Utd was back to its best thanks to Berbatov, who is only a handful in history to score 5 in a match in the EPL. Perhaps the return of Rooney had something to do with it? I've always admired Berba as a player - technically he's a genius and he's a very smart player. Lazy it seems at times but that's how he plays the game - effortlessly & gracefully. And the Venky's must have thought if they bought the right team. 

5 goals hero

Despite the highly anticipated El Clásico,  it once again proved to be one-sided. With Jose in charge, I expected to see more steel  and resilience in the Madrid side. Thought they would give Barca a hard time and with the tactical genius of Jose, he would suffocate the Barca midfield. Guess I was wrong and in the words of Mourinho , "Barca is the finished article and Madrid is still a long way off that".

Portugese muted by the dazzling Barca

Back to the EPL, West Gram finally got their much awaited win. For now , it looks like the job is his. Another "big" game, Spurs Vs Liverpool brought a lot of excitement to the neutrals. Missed chances, missed penalty, injuries and an own goal! Plus Carragher may be out for as long as 3 months. What has uncle Roy gotta do to catch a break? Everything seem to be going against him at the moment. If he's lucky to stay until January, he may just be given the luxury to bring in some reinforcements.
