Empty Saturday

I wonder if they are off to sunny climbs? Here it is likely to be cold and clear.
The history books never talk about the players that were injured and unable to play; they record the result but fans remember these things. And I would reckon so do the pundits. But what club has ever had its ideal team out for every match? None, I would venture to say. Every team has to play a number of matches without key players, it's the luck of the draw (normally).

Anyway, my Footy program's latest predictions still has Man Utd as eventual champions by some margin, on average of current and season's form:
Man Utd 89
Liverpool 77
Arsenal 76
Chelsea 76

or based on remaining matches:
Man Utd 95
Chelsea 88
Arsenal 85
Liverpool 84


So still some interest in the other three places!

Kick'em when they're down

Nice!  And what a way to start your goal scoring, that second goal was special. Sometimes it takes a while to really settle in a new team. I've seen it take a a whole season before they click and wow! Will this be the case with Jermaine, not sure but hope so.
Now what will Arsenal make of the Old Trafford boys tomorrow? 

2 out of 3 is bad, very bad

 So will cup form spread over to League form?  Will the impressive home record stay intact?  Will I be able to enjoy Match of the Day?

Tomorrow brings us one day closer to the answer.
