Yes, the wonderful Thanksgiving break is upon us, or well for me anyways. A full week off from school! That's just as long as Spring Break, which is pretty crazy. Although meat pies will not be on the table on our Thanksgiving feast, tons of good food will be! Wayne Rooney isn't just hungry for goals, he's also hungry for a tremendously plump turkey.
The end of fall and all of winter is usually a big time for the Premier League. The title can be lost and won in these months. Yesterday Arsenal convincingly beat an on form Southampton team 2-0 at the Emirates. The first goal in the game was a major disappointment for Southampton fans considering that their goalie thought he was Lionel Messi. Dribbling the ball in your own box with Olivier Giroud on you is not a good strategy in the Premier League... OR ANY LEAGUE! The next goal came later in the game with the Frenchman scoring again, but this time from the penalty spot.
Although Saturday was an okay day in England's highest division, today was even more exciting. Manchester City took on Spurs at home in what was an important match for both teams. Tottenham finally had a chance to show if they really were top 4 material this year (HA! Spurs are never top 4 material). For Man City, they needed to prove they were still a challenger for the title after spending loads of money on their team. The score finished 6-0... in favor of the Citizens. Manchester City is unstoppable at home, their attacking football is magical. Their passing flows more like you would expect Arsenal's to do. Spurs seemed to stand there wondering what this object rolling around on this strange green surface was. They looked slow and they looked like they had no team chemistry. More teams look threating this year than usual in the Premier League, if the North London team wants to have a chance in Europe next year, they have to improve their offense (yes I know their defense just gave up 6 goals) and their chemistry, or it could be a sad season for the blue side of North London. Manchester City on the other hand can take a lot of good things out of this game, but they need to focus on their away form. If they want to be successful in terms of a title, they need to know how to win on the road. They played counter attacking style at home, why don't they try that on the road? By the way, Kun Aguero has more goals by himself than the whole Tottenham team does as a whole.
After Manchester United beat league leading Arsenal 2 weekends ago, they could only muster a point in Wales today at Cardiff. Congratulations to Cardiff for looking like the best newly promoted team this season. They have impressed me way more than I expected them to do.
That's all for today. Start making your list for Black Friday shopping and Moyes, make sure Rooney doesn't eat too much turkey.
