EEE – Happy 2012

Happy New Year to everyone.  Being bored as all get-out at my parents, I've decided to restart the EEE, at least for the time being.  Let's go ahead and recap everything since the Boxing Day matches, shall we?

On Boxing Day, Manchester United beat Wigan by a score of 5-0, while City only managed a 0-0 draw with West Brom.  This brought the two Manchester teams level on points, with City in first on goal differential.   A pair of WGOM Derbies as Fulham-Chelsea and Sunderland-Everton both ended 1-1.   The next day saw Wolves draw away to Arsenal, holding on to the 1-1 scoreline with only 10 men after a red card in the 75th minute.  A brace from Welsh wunderkind Gareth Bale saw Spurs dismiss Norwich 2-0.

New Year's Eve saw a surprising Blackburn win over Manchester United by a score of 3-2.   Chelsea lost 3-1 to Aston Villa.  Fulham, Spurs, and Wolves all drew 1-1, with Norwich CitySwansea City, and Bolton respectively.  With a chance to go three points clear of United, Manchester City lost away to Sunderland 1-0 on  Ji Dong-Won's goal in the 93rd+ minute.  Everton beat West Brom by the same 1-0 scoreline.

In today's action, Fulham defeated Arsenal 2-1 by scoring to goals after Djourou was sent off in the 85th for a second booking.  Chelsea snatched all three points away from Wolves by winning 2-1, Wolves having drawn level in the 85th only for Lampard to score just before stoppage time.
