TOUR EVENT
London “Arsenal” again failed to win. The faceless draw in Newcastle disappointed the fans, but did not lead to catastrophic consequences - thanks to a draw between “Bolton” and “Everton”, the “gunners” maintained the status quo. Depressed by Henry's injury and the departure from the Champions League, the team of Arsene Wenger fell into a depression and for the fourth match in a row does without victories and with one single goal scored. In the next round, Bolton himself will come to disperse the arsenal of longing for Emirates, and the question with fourth place will escalate to the limit.
HERO TOUR
Despite the fact that the issue with the departure of “Watford” seems to have been resolved long ago, Adrian Butroyd does not look like a loser. The youngest coach of the Premier League from the very beginning stated that with his team he came to the elite to study. The match of the current tour with “Portsmouth” showed - Butroyd has already learned a lot. He taught the team to fight against everything and to the end, taught not to break at the first difficulties, taught to enjoy football. And let the fairy tale end tomorrow, today they can be proud of themselves. Such a match was to happen. It will remember “Watford” and Butroyd.
TOUR FAILURE
Ecuadorian Luis Valencia coolly let down his team, forcing the “Wigan” for nearly an hour and ten to fight off attacks by “Aston Villa”. At the 34th minute of the match, the midfielder madly jumped into the legs of the Birmingham defender Wilfred Bouma, injured him and was immediately removed by the referee Mark Halsey. “Wigan” at that time led 1-0, but in the end, with titanic efforts, it took away with Upton Park only a draw.
TOUR SENSATION
An honorary donor of the British championship intrigue, “Portsmouth” outright loses to “Watford” just two days after the victory over “Manchester United”. The team of Harry Redknapp and the current match began for health, quickly opening the score with the efforts of Matthew Taylor and for the time being thinking that he controls the course of the meeting. However, the hopeless Watford, giving a series of farewell concerts in the Premier League, did not think to give up. An Algerian-Hungarian pair of young provocative forwards, Buazza - Priskin, with the support of veteran Mahon and the first time this season to appear on the field, Clark Carlisle frolic in the spring sunshine that flooded the emerald glade Vickereige Road. “Watford” won 4-2, although he could score twice as much. Maybe these still decided to fight for salvation?
TREND
London “Fulham”, like a glacier melting in the sun, continues to slide into the relegation zone . Home defeat in a principled match with Manchester City extended the team's losing streak to seven matches. Now, from the abyss, “Fulham” is separated by only one point for the lost. Chris Coleman, who has long been faced with the indifference and stinginess of the club leadership, has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in the team. Most recently, the manager said that he needed 20 million pounds to bring Fulham to a new level, and hardly by that means he meant relegation to the championship.
CM. ALSO
Gavin Mahon is one of those who shoot once a year. But so that the goal immediately becomes the best in the round.
TOUR DIGIT
In an amazing way, 4 participants at the meeting of “Fulham” with “Manchester City” were noted 2 times in the minutes of the match. Barton, Beasley, Wassell and Bocanegra managed to score and get a yellow card. At the same time, neither other goalies nor other punished in the game were found.
