The Wayne Man Wayne Rooney started the massacre off in the 40th minute. Rooney nailed the open shot in front of the net.
Five minutes later, 45th minute, Nani fired a wicked ball at the Pompey “D”. Buda Bing Buda boom the ball rebounds off the helpless Portsmouth defender Anthony Vanden Borre into the back of the net.
Michael Carrick fired a rocket into the teeth of the Pompey “D”. Whamo, bamo, the ball hits Richard Hughes. The deflection ripped the back of the net in the 59th minute.
Dimitar Berbatov ripped the twines from just outside the box in the 62nd minute to make 4-0 Man U.
Lightening struck in the same place for the third time in this match. Portsmouth’s Mark Wilson kicked Patrice Evra’s cross into the back of his own net in the 69th minute to add insult to injury.
Man U may have found their form.
5-0 was the final.
This is the second straight match that Man U has forced the opposition into giving up stupid goals.
Maybe Nani is finally living up to all the expectations that were heaped upon him since his arrival from Portugal.
Liverpool defeated cross-town rival and hated foe Everton.
This match was very rough and both sides each had a player given the heave-hoe for rough play.
A dumb defensive error by Everton keeper Tim Howard in the 55th minute resulted in a goal by Dirk Kuyt.
If Howard would have stood his ground instead of challenging the ball he could have stopped the shot.
Steven Gerrard set the play up with a corner kick directly in front of the goalmouth.
The Reds played most of the match with a man down.
Liverpool’s Sotirios Kyrgiakos was given the early shower in the 34th minute when he tackled Everton’s Fellaini studs up. Fellaini should have been show the exit too when he stomped on Kyrgiakos ankle.
The Toffees Steven Pienaar was given the heave-hoe in the 90th minute.
Liverpool has won two straight.
The Reds have 44 points.
Aston Villa and Tottenham put on one heck of a show. Both sides traded their best Sunday punches however neither Villa nor Spurs could deliver the fatal knockout blow. The match ended up in a nil-nil draw.
Hull City took it to City 2-1. The Tigers jumped out to a 2-0 lead. City cut the gap to 2-1 on a deadly strike by former Gunners player Emmanuel Adebayor in the 59th minute.
But this was just a glancing blow by City. The Tigers were in control of this match from the outset.
Heave-hoe zone Hull City completely outplayed City.
City had a chance to move up the table with a victory but they stunk the joint out.
American Jozy Altidore and George Boateng sent City packing.
The race for the final Champions League spot looks like this.
Liverpool is in fourth place with 44 points.
Spurs are fifth with 43 points.
City is in sixth spot with 41 points.
Everton is in seventh place with 41.
Lets not forget both the Reds and the Spurs are still in the running for the EPL title.
When the smoke clears on Sunday after the Chelsea-Arsenal battle of the titans, we will have a clear picture what the real table looks like.
Go Gunners.
