S11M24-25: Spring Forward

 Now, I'll admit to not exactly being up to speed with the International calendar, but I do normally know if there was a game on, even if I don't watch it, not really care on the outcome.

So, imagine my surprise when I go back to see what the break weekend score was and...well...there was no game. It was just a week off. When clubs have loads of games to make up due to covid postponements. My mind is blown.

I know there were a few games here and there, but this feels like a missed opportunity. Similarly, last week was an FA cup week. There was only 1 PL game played to catch up - could they really not have slotted in a couple more. Football's leaders are potatoes. 

Anyway, about 6 weeks ago, Norwich managed to win away to consign Ranieri to the dustheap,  Gerrard similarly got another one over Everton, thus hastening a rerun of the most tedious England argument of all time. Wolves continue to show form, whilst underfire Uniteds (Newcastle & Manchester) beat United Leeds & West Ham. 

The big shocks came with Southampton & Burnley holding elite sides Man City & Arsenal to draws. I think that's a balanced sentence, which doesn't need much interrogation. Liverpool & Chelsea won, whilst Leicester continued their Annus Horribilis with home draw to Brighton.
