It has been a busy week of sport. The Australian tennis open began and Murray is the only British player remaining. The BDO darts champions was named as Dutch player, Christian Kist who beat Tony O’Shea. Also it was a good week for Birmingham and Brighton fans as they progressed to the fourth round after beating Wolves and Wrexham respectively. Lastly one goal was enough to separate Manchester City and Wigan as Dzeko’s goal proved to be the winner.
However the biggest story of the week is Gary Cahill finally joining Chelsea. There was a bit of disagreement with his personal terms but he is a Chelsea player and what a signing he is and he only cost £7 million. Bargain for the English defender
My two reviews this week are a repeat of a super Sunday clash. The two games produced 16 goals between them and proved how much dominance Manchester clubs have over London. Here they are:
Manchester City v Tottenham: 2-0
Tottenham fans would like to forget about any memories they had of this game. They lost the last one 5-1 but then went on their incredible winning streak. If this game didn’t count for much it does now as they drew last week and lost ground on City, who won on Monday night. Tottenham are without Adebayor as he is off to the African Cup of Nations. So they must rely on either Defoe or Pavlyuchenko to lead the attack. City have also been affected by the cup competition as they are without the Toure brothers. They also are missing Kompany who is still suspended. Hopefully it will produce the same amount as goals or be as equally exciting. Despite Tottenham needing the points, I still think City will win this… just.One to watch: Sergio Aguero – He has never lost his form this season and was close to scoring on Monday.
Arsenal v Manchester United: 1-0
For me the last game was the game of the season. It produced 10 goals, a red card, a hat-trick etc. basically it had everything a football fan had except an Arsenal win. That game is in the past, for them, and they seem to be in a fight for fourth place. I think (or should it be hope) that they will finish below Chelsea. Despite that I do think Arsenal have a chance. They always seem to pick up results here and there against the Manchester club. Both players have reintroduced legends to their clubs with Thierry Henry and Paul Scholes scoring in their second debut. Henry is desperate to play a first league game since 2007, but it suffering from a calf strain. It will be a last minute decision to whether he will play. Should be a good game and could be a turning point in the season for both clubs Norwich v Chelsea: 0-3
One to watch: Fernando Torres (it’s now or never)
