The Big Red Liverpool Machine and Burger Squeeze

If not for that 'ghost' penalty, Liverpool would be sitting alone at the top of the English Premier League table and staring down smugly at the rest of the competition. While that team of blue billionaires at Chelsea have a chance to join us from Villa Park today, Liverpool will still be top of the league by virtue of goal difference.

And we have to thank Derby for that. I honestly believe this team will be relegated by mid-season, while not mathematically, but in spirit and play. This team is a circus act if you ask me!

Once again, virtually all who got to play in the Liverpool team were impressive, except for some lackadaisical defending at times. Derby did us a favour as well by fielding a posse of clowns. Perhaps Stevie Gerrard would be worrying a little that the team does not seem to be missing him!

Over at Craven Cottage, while I did not get it exactly correct that the home team would win, but it goes to show again my point about not assuming results based on past performances, even ones that are just a season old. Spurs might have been coasting to a win at a certain point, but they have shown to be a defensively frail this season, and see how they crumbled!

Under the weight of the Soccer Rag, I must say. ;)
