S8M14: Into the midst

Well hello there.

Coming at you live from my lunch break because....duh dug duh....I fell asleep yesterday and forgot to write anything. So yes, very organised etc.

Still, got me stats all sorted this week so that's a start. Let's go back through some football though shall we....

The weekend kicked off with a draw between Brighton and Leicester. Its difficult to get enthused about this Brighton side who don't seem to be kicking on. Its that whole standing on the down escalator thing - relying on 3 worse teams for survival is a risky strategy. Leicester frankly get a free pass for the rest of the season from me.

Everton continued their good form with a home win over Cardiff whilst Ranieri's return was joyous as Fulham beat an atrocious Saints side who surely must be about to end Mark Hughes' career once and for all. Please.

Comfortable wins for Man City & Liverpool were no surprise, but Spurs demolishing Chelsea was less expected and frankly Man Utd struggling to a 0-0 draw at home to Palace was more surprising than it really should be.

2  creditable away wins for Arsenal and Huddersfield on the Sunday were followed by another from Newcastle on the Monday.  Surprisingly low number of home wins this weekend actually.
