Jela and Fella inspire
Everton to four goal win
Everton continued scoring four goals in a match for a third consecutive week
with a 4-0 win over Fulham. Jelavic's brace was key in allowing Everton to
extend their unbeaten run to 6 matches and add misery to Fulham's woeful away
record.
Stoke suppress Gunners into stalemate
Arsenal failed to win a third consecutive match in a row, despite Van Persie's
opener. It was cancelled out by Crouch as Stoke grinded out a well
deserved draw. It means that the Gunner need to remain their last two
matches if they are to secure 3rd spot in the league.
Davies' double levels honours at the Stadium of Light
Bolton extended their unbeaten run to 3 matches, courtesy
of assists from Ricketts and Petrov. The 2-2 draw ensured that Bolton
remain in the relegation zone (albeit marginally), where as Sunderland
have now failed to win in 6 consecutive matches.
Wolves come back to level from the brink in a 8 goal thriller
They may have already been relegated, but no one told Connor's men to stop
playing football. 4-1 up, Swansea
should have cruised to victory. But a pressure-free Wolves defied the odds and
scored 3 deserved come back goals. The draw can only serve to instil some
pride in Wolves, but their fans must wonder where their
missing passion was a few weeks ago?
Foster's heroics keeps Villa at bay in Midlands
derby
West Brom continued their good run of form with a
credible goalless draw. They have now secured 10 points from their last 5
matches. However, Villa's failure to score has ensured that they
have scored only 1 goal in their last 4 matches and remain
dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Lightning Latics strike out high flying Geordies in
comfortable victory
As recent as a month ago, many slated Wigan for the
drop. Yet shock wins over Arsenal and United showed their battling
resilience. This sensationally continued with a 4-0 win against Newcastle.
It means that the Latics have won 5 of their last 7 matches, which in turn
ended Newcastle's 6 match winning
run.
Sensational Suarez scores three for Liverpool
at Carrow Road
Liverpool may have played dire football this season, but
their Uruguayan striker rekindled some of their former glory with a winning
hat-trick against Norwich. It
was the Canaries 3rd consecutive defeat and was Liverpool's
second win in three matches.
Terrific Torres rediscovers league form in rout of QPR
Suarez wasn't the only Spanish speaker that scored a hat-trick in the Premier
League this week. Torres carried his mid-week European form into the
league by scoring three past Kenny. In the end Chelsea's 6
goals helped extend their unbeaten league run to 6, with QPR still close to the
relegation zone.
Wonderful Walker free kick aids Spurs to victory over Rovers
Spurs ended their 3 match winless streak with a much needed victory
against Blackburn. Their opener was scored by van
der Vaart, before Walker scored a
superb second via a Brazilianesque free kick. The defeat was Rovers' 7th
in 8 matches and keeps them stuck in the drop zone.
"Noisy neighbours" turn up the volume with Iron Man
leading the way
In what was billed as the most important Manchester
derby in history, it was the blue side that seized the moment and won.
City's captain and resident "Iron Man" Kompany scored the only goal
of the match, in which United failed to register a single shot on target.
The result ensured that both teams are now level on points, with City having a
higher goal difference as two matches remain to decide the title.
Cottagers humble woeful Liverpool with
a shock victory at Anfield
Fulham returned back to Merseyside in the space of a few days as they played a
weakend Liverpool team that was resting players for the
FA Cup final. Skrtel's own goal secured victory for Fulham who recorded a
rare and famous away victory at Anfield. It was only Fulham's 4th
away league win of the season, with only their 12th goal from 18 away
league matches.
Stoke Stalemate Part II at the Britannia Stadium
The Potters hosted Everton, as the match ended with another home draw.
Crouch scored for a second consecutive week (albeit an own goal this time),
with Jerome leveling the match for the home team. Stoke have now failed
to win in 4 league matches as Everton extend their unbeaten run to 7.
Super Cisse seizes hearts and minds with victorious wonder goals at Stamford
Bridge
Newcastle refused to worry about
their shock 0-4 loss to Wigan as they were faced with
the daunting task of playing Champions League spot rivals Chelsea at Stamford
Bridge. With the Blues having
an eye on the FA Cup and Champions League final, they too were under pressure
to perform on the night. However, it was that man, Newcastle's
new number 9 who stole the show.
Everything he touches turns into
goals! If his first goal wasn't enough to wow the crowd, his sensational
injury time second stunned Chelsea
fans into silence. The defeat for Chelsea
puts them 4 points a drift from 4th and means they will need to win the
Champions League final to qualify for that competition next season. As
for Newcastle, they are now faced
with the job of playing City at home in a match that could decide the title and
fourth spot.
'Arry refuses to "Luka" away or park the "van"
as Bale & Co. "Ade" Spurs to victory
He may not have got the England job (let alone an interview for it!), but it
seems that this in turn has helped Spurs go back to stringing consecutive
victories. A brace of assists from Bale, a brace of goals from Adebayor
with VDV and Modric chipping in was enough for a resolute 1-4 victory against Bolton.
The result means that Spurs are level on points with Newcastle
(but retain a superior goal difference), where as Bolton
remain in the relegation zone based upon their goal difference
respectively.

I dont often (if ever) say this... but
I had a FANTASTIC GAMEWEEK!
The double gameweek only served to multiply the number of points that my team
accrued. Firstly
my recommended player and captain did good for me with two
goals and an assist. Secondly, my other transfer proved to be a master
stroke with Walker scoring a goal
and keeping a clean sheet. Moreover, RVP scoring and a Suarez hat-trick,
along with other points ensured that I scored over 80 GW points for the first
time this season. Not only that, but my team has surpassed all
expectations and
scored well over 100 points! The significance of
this points haul means that
my
blog team is now truly ranked among the higher echelons of FPL this season.
The remaining two Gameweeks will decide whether I can retain such an elite
position. Looking ahead I will almost certainly make a transfer, yet
remain undecided as of yet on who to sell and buy. I will upload my
recommended player for GW 37 shortly. I hope you all had a good gameweek.
Until next time, Ciao!
