Kompany's winner vs Manchester United a couple of games ago.
For me, this has got to be the best Premier league season
ever. Head to head at the top, a thrilling race for Europe and a tense battle
down the bottom. I can’t remember a better year.
The Relegation battle has never been tastier and this week
just summed it all up. Bolton faced WBA at home and was leading 2-0 while
relegation rivals QPR were drawing 0-0 at home to Stoke. WBA pulled a goal
back. Bolton players knowing this is a must win game started to become nervous.
Meanwhile all the Rangers fans knew other results were not going to plan, but
in the dying minutes a corner is taken by Taarabt who finds Ferdinand at the
front post, he nods it into the danger area and BOOM!!! Cisse hits the back of
the net in the 89th minute. Four minutes later WBA get an equaliser.
Full time whistle is blown at both grounds.
QPR on the verge on being relegated (Man City in last game
so unlikely to get much) to being favourite out of them and Bolton to stay up.
I don’t know how the fans and Players at Bolton must be feeling, they must be
crying inside.
Cisse's winner for QPR on Sunday vs Stoke. Will it be the goal that kept rangers up?
The relegation battle was a 5 horse battle for a while with
teams looking safe and then become dragged back in to the mix (Blackburn).
Wigan has been on an amazing run beating a few top teams and Rangers winning 5
in 5 at home. Now both Bolton and QPR will be fighting for that remaining spot
in the Premiership.
With the title race still going down to the wire, City were five
points clear in December and then united eight points ahead in Easter. Both
team are on equal points going into the last game of the season, City are on
top due to goal difference.
What makes it even more entertaining is the fact it’s both Manchester
clubs, a local rivalry, then having to play the all crucial Derby weeks before
the end of the season which was a massive game that will help decide the
Premier league champions.
Manchester United champions last season.
European places are all to play for no one is guaranteed Champions
League football next season yet. Spurs were clear favourites for third spot and
at one stage pushing the top two. But then Redknapp was supposed to be the top
man for the England job, lost focus and Spurs form dipped. Which I think was a
small reason why we saw this happen the other was just form.
Arsenal having a shocking start of the season a few were
questioning the top man Wenger, he managed to bring it back to overtake Spurs
in third spot then became shaky themselves dropping easy points.
Newcastle the surprise package out of the lot, wow what a
season they have had. No one had guessed Newcastle would be pushing for a European
spot. Then Chelsea expected at the start of the season to be higher up the
table but under AVB it didn’t click. Recent form has seen them have a real
shot. Chelsea could still make European football next season even if they don’t
finish in the top four, as still have a champions league final to play for.
How terrible would it be for the team finishing fourth but
missing out, heart breaking.
The goals this season
have been pure amazing, so hard to single one out. Crouch’s volley from outside
the box that lobs the keeper, Cisse’s outside foot swinging lob on Cech. Suarez
40 yard chip at Norwich. These are just the recent ones I could go on and on.
Also all the massive score lines we have been seeing the
recent smashing of QPR at Stamford Bridge, the other 6-1 Man city gave to Man
united. The Chelsea vs Arsenal game, Spurs vs Man city game, again the list
goes on.
Cisse's amazing goal vs Chelsea.
No other seasons have had all top six spots up for grabs on
the last game of the season while a team will still be relegated on the last
day. So much will happen this Sunday its one to watch.
