November Morning Post: ECC, BPL & Obama!



Watch the historic images on the T.V. screens tonight; electoral votes of note. Indeed the people have spoken, foremost and with finality. The UK is practically pro-Obama and to their English Premier League this post shall address. Stability stands true and a testament to wisdom as Man U are back in the title contention. Sir Alex and Co. play Celtic tomorrow as group leaders waltzing into ECC knock-outs. Ronaldo, Berba and Rooney have hit veins of form while the Red Devils eat up ground in the championship race. Liverpool tabletop the BPL with Chelsea close behind, Gunners going on fourth, Villa in the top five mix but at sixth are Hull City; Tigers all the surprise.

Hull City have giant-killed the Gunners and as recently as Nov. 1st scored three goals in heartthrob fashion at the Theater of Dreams. This past weekend saw Hull return to Old Trafford for the first time since 1975, albeit with a revised squad lead by manager Phil Brown. Among the club’s veterans, Geovanni, has gone down in the township’s lore and history books for netting the first premier league goal for the club along with a similar, top-drawer, upper-ninety strike that sunk Arsenal. Far best of the BPL’s promoted clubs, Hull City steak their claim and entertain their loyal traveling army.

Foundations and a word to the wise….stability allows clubs confidence from within. Yet the managerial carrousel fairs far better than worse for some who strive for new challenges. Former Gunners man Tony Adams currently manages Pompey with Harry Rednapp sparking Spurs 180ยบ relegation revival, the Toon Army too battles from the bottom table with quality, Villa have points nicked, Reds tarnish Blues at home yet snap their own streak to Rednapp’s lads on high from 4-4 North London Darby. Zola’s Hammers look up, Rovers keen to keep Santa Cruz as Man City look to raid in the transfer window. Everton’s club record signing heads home against Red Devils in crucial tie, Zaki and Valencia shine for Wigan, Ricardo Fuller battled hard in Bolton’s recent win, Johnson opens account for Cottagers and Cisse seeks renaissance at Sunderland.

Eyes on tomorrows fixtures in the ECC and the dawn of a world with president Barak Obama. Roma beat Chelsea 3-1, Liverpool leaves it late while PSV are sunk by Marseilles. Last round of games Del Piero gifted the world with a vintage long range goal from the run of play while Berbatov’s skill on the ball has reached a new level. Crisis at Arsenal with 16 players visible in full training due to injury; Wenger fumes at media over tackles and cowards. We each weather the seasons, hope to live within reason and share in the joy of the beautiful game.
