And so City's unbeaten run is at an end and we could now be in for a really close battle again. AVB's boys would have delighted his friends in the media, especially new best mate Gary Neville. But one person who isn't happy is Frank Lampard. Despite scoring the winner last night, he can't understand why he hasn't been in the starting XI for the last 4 games, each of which Chelsea has won. Think about it Frank! Spurs' great run also comes to an end, but though Stoke is one of the toughest places to go, even the most ardent of their fans must agree that the ref had one of the biggest shockers you are likely to see. And whilst I said last week that it was good to see Martin O'Neill back, it didn't take long before his meerkat on red bull impression on the touchline reminded me how annoying he can also be!
Good work from Ben McCullaghin what was a pretty tough week (100+ was decent), whilst Steve McGowan and Sean McGuiness climb into the top 10. Basically a good week if you have a small c in your name!
NB - Some of you who returned your sheet scored 0. Rather like roulette, this is quite possible and just as likely as scoring 3 or 6 etc...so please check before your scores yourself instead of emailing me to ask why! Atb, Ciro
