Premier League Round Up

A great weekend for the Bookies yet again as none of the "Big 4" managed a win for the second time in a matter of weeks.

It is not just Santa with a bulging sack this Christmas, as draws for Celtic and Rangers as well meant there were no shortage of coupon busters this week.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez must have been reading my blog after quoting last week that his side had no chance of winning the Premier League this season.

Another failure to win at Anfield, this time against Hull means they are now 3 games without a win at home. T

The Robbie Keane situation goes from bad to worse as Benitez continues to handle the situation in the worst possible way. Surely his employers must be asking questions about his judgement and man management after splashing £20m on the striker and then totally ruining his confidence.

Great to see Jamie Carragher slice one into his own net, the squeaky voiced scouser is one of my least favourite players.

Arsenal are still fragile away from home and face a genuine battle with Aston Villa for 4th spot. Despite a good start against Boro, Aliadiere flying header gave Gareth Southgate's men a deswrved draw.

Man Utd will not be overly disappointed with a draw at White Hart Lane, where Gomes had his best game to date to deny Berbatov and co. United traditionally step up a gear in the 2nd half of the season and it would be no great surprise if they go on to retain their title.

Chelsea slipped up again at home, only taking a point against my relegation tips West Ham. Scholari's reign started brightly and ther away form is sensational, but they need to sort out their home form if they are to present a serious threat to United.

The relegation battle gets even tighter with great results for Sunderland and Newcastle and it is now perm 3 out of 15 for the bottom 3 places.

Blackburn and WBA are starting to be cut adrift and Paul Ince may be unemployed by Christmas despite reassurances from his chairman.
