This weekend proved to be a huge and crucial weekend for the big 4 (liverpool, manu, arsenal, chelsea). In the first match of the weekend Arseal ended up tying Newcastle 4-4. What a thriller huh? I watched the highlights and Arsenal seemed to have the game in the bag. The second half started and their were two penalties given to Newcastle in the second half that gave them life. Joey Barton put them in the back of the net and another two goals by newcastle but the game in a balance that finished in a 4-4 draw. The toon came back from a 4 goal deficit which to me is almost near impossible. The last goal especially was a thumping volley from 25 yards out that set the tone of what type of comeback this was. A thrilling comeback indeed. The next matchup saw Manu lose away to Blackpool 2-1. This 2-1 defeat concludes Unites shot at the undefeated season and chance to be the only other team to remain undefeated during the EPL season besides the Arsenal invicibles. This match proved to be a tough away game but I have faith that United will rebound and as I predicted they will lift the trophy in May. Lastly, was the ever so crucial match between Liverpool and Chelsea. This match was very important to both teams and it was hard to tell who needed the win more. I believe Chelsea because they could have capitalized on the mistakes United and Arsenal made on Saturday and could have catipulted themselves back into the title race. However, liverpool pulled out a emphatic 1-0 victory to give Kenny Dalgish's side their first win in the post Torres era. Just days ago he was wearing Liverpool red and it was weird to see him over in that Chelsea blue. Stay tuned for tuesday when I talk about this years MLS superdraft where some of my buddies were selected.
