And it's a wrap............. We have a winner................ Despite covid trying to ruin it all
David McDonnell, uncle to Liffeybank underage players Ava and Lauren, has prevailed with his choice of Man Utd. I hear that he may have already invested his winnings of €150 to put towards a new watch.....
Thanks to a deflected Paul Pogba volley, all their goals are either deflections or penalties, Man Utd overcame a stubborn Burnley side 1-0 (by stubborn i mean crap). The most entertaining part of the match was Burnley's Ashley Barnes' impression of rucking as he crawled and burrowed his way through two opponents to win a throw in.
Arsenal gave a very stifled display against Crystal Palace in a dour 0-0 draw. Arteta, who literally tackled a player the other night, is starting to infuriate a few Arsenal fans I know with his insistence on a very formulaic approach. Some great news today is that Ozil has departed on a free transfer so that's a weekly £350k leak in the finances sealed. Now to move on a few other high earning squad members.
Newcastle, whose players now seem to be revolting against their manager, gave a flat performance against Sheffield United who finally got a win on the board.
Spurs were pegged back late on by an ever improving Fulham, whose manager Scott Parker is getting some reward for his perseverance to keep on playing the "right way". Fair play to him.
