One game at a time. I won't get carried away.
This was a fairly freakish week. Liverpool and Suarez on a tough away fixture. Arsenal facing a resolute Newcastle. Palace unexpectedly putting the shackles on City. No Rooney, Ozil, Ramsay, or Toure on show. Spurs up against a Stoke team who are poor away from home, leak goals, and have 2 key players suspended. Not to mention goal-shy Hull getting six, and Huddlestone at the barbers at last!
The great news is that Chelsea Moszczenica got knocked out of the cup this week. He went back to some ill-advised transfers and a shockingly lousy score. The person who beat him got a low 30s score so that Top 12,000 position was a pure fluke. I am not particularly bitter but had hired a local expert in the dark arts to make his early exit an inevitability. Well, anything to be of assistance to a Tottenham Hotspur supporter.
This Crimble period has not gone at all the way I'd have wished. Ramsey dried up and then broke down malevolently, ie he couldn't be eased out without serious damage to the bank balance. He seems such a decent bloke too. Ozil who we were advised earlier was a delicate exotic plant needed a rest according to Wenger. Wackily he then played him before he didn't play him and the entire business became anyone's guess. That is, until our orchid developed an injury to make sure he was unavailable for New Year's Day.
Silva is a good player but his shirt should be yellow to match the cards he collects. He is a very strange phenomenon. A Ravel and Raheem in John Major clothing. So he is out. Then there's Rooney who has a groin strain that meanders in its impact while the humble punter is kept in the dark. Moyes is either deliberately oblique about the matter or he just frequently forgets that Wayne is one of his players. See Morrison and one in three other players with coloured squares for the full list of sufferers from Christmas Groin Syndrome.
And yes YYT was unexpectedly dropped and the latest is that Ramsey could now be crocked for a whole month. It could be Mourinho has hired the services of the same wizard as that would explain a hell of a lot.
