More of a bad day for the Everton defense. Howard never had a chance on 4 of the 6 goals, and the other 2 were pretty tough.

Manchester United 1-0 Birmingham City

[ISUMatt]

Spurs over Liverpool right 2-1...

Woke up this AM to see that DirecTV was giving me Sentanta Sports free of cost so watched Man U this morning...If I saw correctly next Sunday morning, Wigan/Man U will be on ESPN 2 at 9am

Chelsea is not going to look back.. 2008 they were derailed by incompetence, 2009 by injuries and incompetence. This season i could see them challenging for the treble.

The treble? You realize you barely beat Hull City at hime and fell behind to Sunderland today, right?

[SonuvaHenx2]

Both goals we allowed were against the run of play.
CFC completely dominated Sunderland, as admitted openly by the Black Cats' manager.
The Hull game gave us a better result from the same match-up as last year.
Chelsea already have two trophies (if you count pre-season) and I see no reason why we won't be contenders for four more.

The tide of play-- never heard of that usage. You mean against the run of play...as in a counterattack?

And frankly, though I disagree with your assessment of the game, Chelsea should have dominated Sunderland as Sunderland will be lucky if they arent spending most of the year in the relegation battle that will likely ensue among 6 teams.

Not so much a counterattack as rare opportunity for the other side. The Sunderland goal took an unlucky deflection to Bent and he took it well.

I agree with most of your predictions here.
I think the West Ham/Spurs match will be fantastic.
Keep in mind though, that Fulham and Everton have Europa League matches today, and will be playing on limited rest.

Oh, and I forgot the Monday fixture.

Liverpool vs. Aston Villa

[ISUMatt]

Diaby 2 goals in 2 minutes

Arsenal 2-0 Portsmouth

[ISUMatt]

Man U playing pissed off in the 2nd half scoring 3 goals in 20 minutes (2 for Rooney)

3-0 Man U
3-1 Arsenal ooops

4-1 Arsenal, they score as I type

[UNHWildCats]

Owen and Nani add goals 5-0 United

[Dane96]

Jozy Altidore with the dream start...beautiful first touch and assist...and beautiful first touch and BARELY missing a gimmee.

He is going to do well at Hull.

[appmaj]

United back on track!

[onbison09]

Ashton Villa shocks Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield. Shocker! Gotta love the ESPN broadcasts though.

[SuperJon]

We couldn't score in a brothel, in a brothel, in a brothel. We couldn't score in a brothel, in a brothel we couldn't score.

You should be thanking Mike Dean. No way Rooney should've gotten a PK, and how Fletcher didn't get booked is beyond me. Oh, and Wenger is awesome!

How do you figure that? Rooney was take out off the ball by a player who did not play the ball.
It is speculation that Rooney would not have controlled the ball if he was not fouled.

:D And BTW how can you talk about undeserved penalties, did you see the Celtic/Arsenal match?

Yes, and the ManU fans are hypocrites for booing Eduardo when Rooney had done the exact same thing 20 minutes earlier.

http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/gif/rooneypenordive2.gif

I'm sorry, that's not a penalty.

Watch Rooney knock the ball into the stands and start to go down before Almunia even touches him.

Contact was made...Thats all that matters

[tribe_pride]

I am a goalie (and have been a licensed ref in the past) That is a PK.

Penalty - yes.

Van Persie offside on the late goal that would've tied it - not so sure.

Penalty - yes.

I couldnt tell from the replay, did the Arsenal Player touch the ball to play it back?

[SuperJon]

The Arsenal player who was called offside didn't make a play on the ball.

The Arsenal player who was called offside didn't make a play on the ball.

Nor did he appear to influence the run of play. IF it was determined that he caused the keeper's attention to be diverted it should be called. That's why I noted it as "not so sure" because I couldn't tell.
