EPL Week 10 Results
Newcastle United 2-1 West Brom Chriso said 2-1 (3 points)
A vital win for Newcastle to help underpin some confidence, West Brom will be
unhappy in not getting anything against a side in so much difficulty.
Aston Villa 3-2 Blackburn Rovers Chriso said 2-0 (1 point)
Another win for high-flying Villa- Blackburn aren’t what they used to be under Ince who will take time to shape his squad.
Fulham 2-0 Wigan Athletic Chriso said 1-3 (0 points)
Vital win for Fulham but another loss for Wigan, despite having turned in some
great performances this season.
Hull City 0-3 Chelsea Chriso said 1-2 (1 point)
Hull were derailed by Chelsea who had to put Liverpool behind.
Stoke City 1-0 Sunderland Chriso said 1-1 (1 point)
Rory Delap the secret weapon again, Sunderland needn’t worry, what with Kenwyn Jones just back from injury.
Arsenal 4-4 Tottenham Hotspur Chriso said 1-3 (0 points)
The Gunners have only themselves to blame, still lacking maturity. Credit to
Redknapp and Spurs for the sheer belief.
Bolton Wanderers 0-1 Everton Chriso said 1-0 (0 points)
Bolton fans will be baiting for Megson’s blood, the Trotters have a real chance of going down this term.
Liverpool 1-0 Portsmouth Chriso said 4-1 (1 point)
Kop fans are starting to believe and even I think that Benitez may finally have
got it right with a gritty win.
Manchester United 2-0 West Ham Chriso said 3-0 (2 points)
United grab another win, West Ham again should be OK.
Middlesbrough 2-0 Man City Chriso said 1-1 (0 points)
City’s Jekyl&Hyde form will cost them a Top 4 place. Total- 9/30
Ronaldo, upon scoring for United at the weekend against the mighty West Brom cut
almost as miserable a figure as the legendary Old Trafford sulker, Dimitar
Berbatov. Throw in a
week and some choice comments from ‘Calderon the Conjurer’ and suddenly upon scoring against West Ham, Ronaldo emphatically roared into
life after scoring from about four yards out.

I just cannot believe the naivety of Ronaldo if he actually believes Calderon’s comments that Real Madrid had no interest in acquiring his services in the
near future. Indeed if he is, as he claims to be, a fan of Madrid than he is
old enough to remember the tug-of-war with fierce rivals Barcelona over Luis
Figo which resulted in a pig
’s head accompanying him to the pitch, and also Zizou Zidane’s courtship from Juventus.
They were, like Ronaldo now, considered the best players in the world and Real
Madrid, being the most successful side to
compete in the European Cup, and boasting some of the best to ever kick a ball
as past students,alongside the mountains of cash, are very attractive to any
ambitious player.
Whether Sir. Alex will regret not biting Real’s hand off remains to be seen but what is clear is that the boy is having
trouble descending from the clouds where Madrid
’s interest left him.
Ferguson of course has bigger problems. Can a team boasting the likes of Park
Ji Sung, Darren Fletcher and Wes Brown really win the Premier League again? The
problem seems to be that most Premier League rivals shut up shop against them
when maybe opening up would catch them out.
