Surprises Again !

Yup ! Surprises During The Past Week Of The English Premier League Again !

The Defending Champions Manchester United Playing Against Fulham Just After A Trashing Match Against Bitter Rivals Liverpool FC At Old Trafford. Being Trashed At Home By Their Bitter Rivals 1 - 4 Plus Sending Off Of Their Defender Nemenja Vidic, Their Confidence Is At An Unbelivable Low.

Just After 10 Mins Of The Match Against Fulham, Manchester United Conceded A Penalty And Sending Off Due To Paul Scholes Handling The Ball In The Penalty Box And Of Course He Is The Player Being Sent Off.

Fulham Captain Danny Murphy Scored From The Spot To Give Fulham The Lead. With Manchester United Down To Just 10 Men, The Red Devils Were Playing Like They Were Without Spirit And Drive. Weak Passing And Not Even Closing Down To Any Of The Fulham Players Which Is Holding The Ball. They Should Be Fortunate That Edwin Van Der Sar Is In Front Of Their Goal.

With The Introduction Of Wayne Rooney At Half-Time, Man Utd Looked Like A Totally Different Team, Full Of Fighting Spirit And Drive. One Should Have Wondered What Alex Ferguson Have Said To Them During Half-Time.

But The Introduction Of Wayne Rooney Didn't Last Long As He Collected 2 Yellow Cards And Was Sent Off. At This Time, Man Utd Were Down To 9 Men And They Can Do Nothing Except For Defending. In The End, Fulham Substitute Zoltan Gera Scored The 2 Goal To Seal The Win Against The Defending Champions Which Is Their 2nd Loss In A Straight Row.

The Next Match Which Is A London Derby Of Tottenham Playing Against Chelsea. I Myself Didn't Watch The Match But From The What I've Read On The Net, Tottenham Finally Playing Like What They Should Be. A 1 - 0 Win Against The Former Champions Chelsea Is Such A Great Achievement. The Goal By Luka Modric Proved To Be Too Much For Petr Cech And Inflicted Defeat To The Blues. Seems Like Guus Hiddink Also Cannot Do Wonders And Bring Chelsea To Their Peak Like What Jose Mourinho Has Done.

Never Underestimate The Power Of " The Special One "

Finally The Last Surprise Is Of Course Liverpool FC Again. Playing At Anfield Against Aston Villa This Time. Their Captain Steven Gerrard Is Always The Inspirational Player They Need. Doing Everything And Making Himself As An Example To His Whole Team, He Struck Twice At The Spot And Scored A Screamer From A Freekick Which Gives Him His Hat-Trick.

Unstoppable At The Moment, I Think Even Stopping Steven Gerrard Is Also Unable To Stop The Team From Progressing. With Chelsea In Their Champions League Quarter-Final Fixture And 9 Games Left, One Would Wonder What Surprises They Still Can Give Their Fans !
