101 And Counting

November 17, 2008
Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo, after his two goals against Stoke City in Man Utd’s 5-0 romp took him to 101 goals for the Red Devils since his move from Sporting Lisbon 5 years ago.

The question is how much more is there still to come from the Portugese forward. Also, the question remains will he move to Real Madrid in the summer? What does everyone out there think?

In salutations to Ronaldo here are some of his best goals in a United shirt.

Elsewhere this weekend and Arsenal were beaten at the Emirates by Aston Villa. A Gael Clichy own goal and a late goal from Gabby Agbonlahor giving Villa a thoroughly deserved victory. The question now is can the Midlands side pip Arsenal to a position in the top four this season?

Chelsea and Liverpool both continue to set the Premier League pace, both winning away from home to continue their good starts to the campaign. Who are favourites for the title now, as surely we must discount Arsenal after another defeat?  Personally i think Chelsea will end the season victorious, but Liverpool look much more capable of being there or thereabouts at the end of the campaign, and United’s irresistable attack will see them in the shake-up come May.

Man City continue to flatter to deceive, drawing 2-2 at the KC Stadium against Hull, with Stephen Ireland scoring twice. Who does Mark Hughes need to purchase come January to turn City into a top 6 outfit?

Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham were finally beaten by Fulham, who after 2 successive wins are into the top 10, Everton and Middlesbrough served up an entertaining 1-1draw, Wigan stole a late point at St. James’ Park thanks to a Titus Bramble header, whilst the least said about the dull clash between West Ham and Portsmouth at Upton Park the better.
