What the f&*k Fergie?

Where to begin? I have been a bit slack lately as I have been really busy at work. I guess the big news of the last week or so was Manchester City returning to the top of the English Premier League. I watched the Manchester derby last Tuesday morning (+10 GMT), it was tense, fast, furious and loud. However, United just were not really in the game.....at all. Ferdinand had a shocker, Rooney was isolated and seems to be lacking a bit of sharpness and the United midfield was just overrun the whole game. The big talking point for me was Fergie's team selection. Starting Park Ji Sung in place of Valencia was just plain weird, unless Fergie knew something we didn't. Valencia has been United's stand out other than Paul Scholes in the second half of the season and Park has hardly played a minute in the last few months. He got it wrong. In my opinion, this was not the first time Ferguson has made an error of judgement in such a big match. Starting Ronaldo centre forward in the Champions League final against Barcelona a few seasons back comes immediately to mind.

However, you have to also give credit where credit is due and City deserved the win. I have enjoyed watching them this season when at their best. Nasri, Aguero and now Tevez are all now playing well. They have also been good at the back, Kompany deserves more applause then he gets. However, for me Yaya Toure would have to be close to player of the season in the Premier League. He is fit as hell, strong, fast and has great vision and skill. Could you ask for anything more from a midfielder. I bet you he can cook too! Anyway, it has made for a great Sunday evening this week, City facing the in form Newcastle and United at home to Swansea. Unfortunately, I watched Newcastle outplay my beloved Chelsea midweek, they are a top team playing great football. Tiote is a midfield general, reminds me of Essien when he was at his best. Make no mistake they will give City a mighty good game tonight (+10 GMT) and I am tipping them for the win. I might even put a small wager on them given they need to win to remain in fourth going into the final day. And United well, I have lost a little faith. They should beat Swansea but who knows, they should have already secured the title. I am just a bit disappointed I cannot watch the Milan derby in the morning. With all this football and work among other things one has to prioritise. I hope A.C. Milan win though, I have always liked them. Good luck to all the teams tonight I am sure you will put on a great show.

Oh almost forgot, Chelsea won the F.A. Cup! Ramires and Drogba with the goals. The game started slow but eventually it turned into a competitive and entertaining match. Bring Andy Carroll on changed the game for Liverpool. He was able to hold the ball up and bring other players into the game. And of course he is strong in the air. What a save by Cech though! You won't see too many better all season. He is in great form at the moment. If I had suffered a head injury like he did I wouldn't be playing. That's courage, or stupidity. One or the other. Anyway here is the save if you didn't see it.
