The Show Goes On...

ManUtd continued their fantastic run in the EPL with a superb 4-1 win over Bolton, while Chelsea kept pace with them with a win over Sheffield. The gap between the top two and the rest continues to widen as Arsenal (not suprisingly) lost at Everton and Liverpool could only manage a draw against Villa.

Ronaldo has been in inspired form this season and continues to either score goals or provide assists, when he is not winning penalties as he did against Boro in the FA Cup replay win. I do not understand the hue and cry raised by Boro after the penalty was given for a blatant and clumsy foul by Woodgate on Ronaldo. Looks like some teams just have a personal vendetta against Ron. Opposition fans and players are going on and on that it was yet another blatant dive while the perpetrator Woodgate remains quiet.

Meanwhile, things have been hotting up in La Liga too with Barca, Sevilla, and Real winning but Valencia losing ground. Messi's comeback has provided a stimulus to Barca's otherwise woeful season and his performance against Real Madrid in the El Clasico was one of the greatest in recent times. If only Messi and Eto'o had been fit, Barca would have had a much better season.

Soccer, for now...

It's soccer time! Being in USA, things are a bit different here....I switch on my TV, and they show nothing other than basketball...am already tired of it but then I hope to catch a Spurs game live in the stadium some day soon.

Getting back to soccer, it's been a real shock for Gunner fans as Arsenal crashed out of the FA Cup and lost the Carling Cup final in a matter of a few days. As a ManUtd fan it's tough to say this but I feel Arsenal will only get stronger after a couple of years. Anyway, good for ManUtd...they progressed in the FA Cup and scraped to a victory over Fulham....that should result in lesser pressure for the weekend's match at Anfield.

I am hoping they show the match live here but any time I switch on the sports channel, all I get is basketball! Keeping my fingers crossed that they show it live tomorrow and that ManUtd wins!
