| Hello all! How were your footballing weekends please? Mine was acceptable - Wolves gave us a couple of goals and we didn't really need to get out of third gear for most of the game. Another goal and another assist for Cesc as he cements his place as the best midfielder in the League. Annoyingly we also conceded, yet again; I can't help feeling that, however many goals we score, our inability to keep a clean sheet will cost us.
Otherwise the Chelsea - Utd game was a borefest wasn't it? How that was ever a free kick god only knows but I thought United did pretty well considering the team they had out there. I also watched the Spurs game on dodgy TV on Saturday; how Sunderland didn't win that is another mystery, they were much, much the better side. | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment  |

Some editors clearly wanted sensational stories. But plenty of fans want the truth. Some journalists care about the facts, but of course, there are those who just want a good story; and as the saying goes, the truth must not be allowed to get in the way.
