The Pitch is looking forward to a great weekend of football, with the Reds running into City on Sunday. Before I get into the weekend's action, let's take a little look back on the week that was and shall ever be thus.
*So apparently in August, Sergio Aguero, "El Kun", to the more douschebaggy amongst you, knocked up Maradona's daughter, Gianinna (Yes, that is Aguero rolling with Diego, I love it.). I don't know why I'm just finding out about this now, but if the child ends up being a boy, he has the chance of being the greatest "futboler" ever known to man. This is like Secretariat's daughter hooking up with Sunday Silence. Just keep the kid away from the blow when he is old enough."Grandpa what's this?"
"That, oh that's fuel for your nose. Take it. It will help your hands be virtually undetectable on the pitch in huge international games."
*Didier Drogba was injured in Wednesday's Champions League tilt with CFR Cluj. What are the rules on karma nailing players who topple on the pitch like a Jenga tower being handled by group of drunk weightlifters? I do like watching the Fallover Boy when he isn't crashing to the ground, and hopefully the latest news, that he will only be out for a short time, is accurate.
*Despite Chelsea's draw with Cluj, the Big 4 look like they are all good bets to go through the group stage once again this year. With Villa, City, Tottenham, and Pompey all advancing in the UEFA Cup, the Prem is once again looking like the world's top league in European competition. Advancing together is probably a good thing for all of these clubs, now they know that they won't be the only squads competing and tiring in Europe before big Premier League games.
*Everton has fallen out of the UEFA Cup with a loss to Standard Liege. I would normally ridicule such a failure, but after watching Standard give Liverpool a match in the CL qualifier, I'll admit that they have some talented players. Tragic for Marouane Fellaini, who left Standard for Everton just over a month ago, and had to watch in his street clothes, as he was cup-tied.
*Peter Crouch got two for Pompey in extra time to draw even with Guimaraes and advance on aggregate. I love to see Crouchy doing well, and I hope the goals start pouring in for him in the Prem. I'll have mixed emotions when Pete visits Anfield. Man, would I like for him to show up Rafa. In a Liverpool win, of course.
*Sol Campbell's abuse at White Hart Lane is yet another example of how the racist abuse is not going to end anytime soon at European football matches. I guess the truth is that there will always be that element at some level at matches, as long as it exists in society. But that is no way the end, Friday Football Fun.
It's been awhile, so I might as well leave you with:
