Results for 29th and 30th

What a week end we saw a record breaking score line for premier league football.

Portsmouth 7 - Reading 4
What can I say, A record breaking scoreline for the Premier league and a very very sorry and sloppy defence from Reading. It was Mwaruwari that open up for pompey after only 7 mins, 30 mmins later Mwaruwari then scored again, Hunt scored a Reading goal on 45 mins to take it 2 - 1 at half time, Kitson then brought Reading level on 48 mins after taking advantage of a mistake from David James , and then it all went wron for Reading, there was nothing being played in midfield it was an end to end game and Reading didn't even look good enough to be a championship team let alone a Premier league club, all one way traffic for the next 3 goal all going in favour of Portsmouth Hreidarsson 55 mins, Mwaruwari 70 mins (hat trick) , Kranjcar 75 mins, Long managed a 79 min goal when it deflected off him from a good effort from James Harper but alas only a consolation as they where falling to pieces, Davies then got another for Portsmouth on 79th min muntari then seal it with a penalty on 90 mins Shorey scored a fourth for reading on 90 mins , Harry must be over the moon with a stunning performance like that, my message to Reading is if you want to play in the premier league next year buck up and buy in January or its championship football again and they will get stuck there.

Birmingham 0 - Man Utd 1

The blues really did a very good job of hold back Utd all the way through the 1st half it was Ronaldo that managed to get a goal after 51 mins his 100th premier league goal , Van Der Sar had to be taken off at half time through injury but made some stunning saves in his 1st half appearance Tomasz Kuszczak came on for in for the rest of the game .
Attendance :26,526

Chelsea 0 - Fulham 0

Avram Grants second premier league game and still no win 4 league games without a win, both sides cancelled each other out. Seol Ki-Hyeon had a good game and proved to be a good switch from Reading. Drogba looked very good after injury his best attempt came after about and hour as he unleashed a powerful drive which Keller managed to push away . Terry was caught up in an aerial collision with Dempsey and fractured his cheek bone . Drogba picked up a yellow for insisting Baird had Impeded him then later picked up a second and off as he raised his foot whilst challenging Baird.

Man City 3 - Newcastle 1

Svens men did there stuff once again. And I should co co for all the money they invested over the summer. Martins put the Toon ahead after 29 mins with cleaver little lob but Petrov 38 mins put away a peach at the far post to bring it all square, Mpenza then scored on 47 mins as Petrov delivered a brilliant cross,Elano then put away a 25 yd free kick to go past Given.
Attendance:40,606

Sunderland 1 - Blackburn 2

A very boring and dull first half so I may as well talk about the second half. Rover opened up on 53rd min as Santa cruz into the Sunderland penalty area his shot blocked but Bently got on the end of the volley to score. Santa Cruz then finished a lovely shot on 55 mins, Bently could have killed the game off when he got through sunderlands defence to unleash a low shot only palmed to safety by Gordon, Leadbitter hit and unexpected 25 yd side footed shot to score on 90th minute .
Attendance: 41,252

West Ham 0 - Arsenal 1

Arsenal stay at the top as they took all 3 points, Van Persie scored the only goal from Hlebs assist after 13 mins, West Ham Lost a player in the second half as Scott Parker was suffering knee injury from a challenge with Flamini, Ljungberg had a goal denied as he thought he'd brought it even , with 10 mins to go Arsenal lost Adebayor with a ham string injury.
Attendance:34,966

Wigan 0 - Liverpool 1

A bit of a dull 1st half but liver poll brought the entertainment with a sub Benayoun on 75min after he gat the pass from Pennant and managed to shot from 10 yds out . Torres wasted a lot of good chances. Aghahowa should have brought it all level as he missed a close range header.
Attendance: 24,311

Sunday 30th

Lescott scored after only 7 mins after some sloppy play from Middlesbrough. the visitors put together some good play but couldnt finish , started okay and let themselves down by missing, Pienaar then steered in a great goal from Arteta to seal their win.

A nice collection of thoughts and reports here teddy boy. Yet you have nothing about football shirts which is a shame. After all, there are plenty of awful ones going round the Premiership at the moment.
