Premiership race is hotting up….

The race for the premiership title is getting really interesting after this weekends results. Man Utd lost, Chelsea lost, and Liverpool had a resounding win against Aston Villa. Everybody thought that Man Utd had the title won, but it’s fascinating to see how things can turn around so quickly. Fulham not only took three points from Man Utd, but they also made a huge statement to the rest of the league. Manchester United are not invincible.

Liverpool on the other hand are on a surge. They have won their last 3 games by a combined score of 13-1, all against top quality opposition. Steven Gerrard is now considered the very best player in the world, according to Zinedine Zidane. He does have everything a midfield player would wish for. He has a great engine, an ability to play on both the defensive end and offensive end, and he has a knack of carrying the team on his back. I can’t even begin to count the amount of times Gerrard has turned a game or won a game on his own. Think about all those European nights, from the Champions league final to the most recent display at Anfield against Madrid. He’s one of the best to have played in a Liverpool shirt, but we all wish he could perform the same heroics for England.

Easter weekend is always important. I remember when Blackburn beat Man Utd and went on to win the title in 1995. This year will be no different. It’s going to be an exciting time to watch soccer….
