EEE & MMM – I, for one, welcome our Manc overlords

5 Comments

Manchester United and City have combined for 25 goals in three games to open the season, including 8 and 5 yesterday, respectively.  By my calculation, that's more than ⅓rd of all goals scored this year (72 total).  Edin Dzeko (City) is leading the league with 6 goals, and Rooney is right on his heels with 5.  They would be tied for 4th (Liverpool) and 5th (Chelsea) in the table, respectively, by goals scored.

Meanwhile, at the opposite end of things, Swansea City is still looking for their first ever Premier League goal.  In spite of this, they are still 15th in the table thanks to two 0-0 draws.

  • Clint Dempsey scored twice against Bolton.  He now has 33 Premiership goals for the club, a new club record.  The prior record of 32 was shared by Brian McBride and Steed Malbranque.
  • Arsenal beat ManUtd 1-0, which would have closed the gap on the title race considerably for the Gunners had they bothered to beat Bolton or Spurs.  As it is, they are still 6 points back.
  • Controversy in the Chelsea-Spurs match: Lampard's goal given after not entirely crossing the line and Kalou possibly a tad offside on the game winner.
  • Chelsea are now 3 points from 1st with 3 to play.  They are away to Manchester United on Sunday.  A win there will have the teams tied on points at the top of the table, and Chelsea will go ahead on GD as they are currently both at +38. Continue reading EEE & MMM – Beginning of May Edition →
