This weekend there was lots of booing around England, and rightfully so. The fans had every right to be disgusted as the big names (Gerrard, Lampard, etc.) came out and played their usual domineering style for their respective clubs. Why they can't manage for England, well that will remain a mystery. The top teams all held their ground, some in more spectacular fashion than others, with the exception of Manchester United who watched all three points disappear at Bolton. And I can't really say the Red Devils deserved anything more than they got, they seemed to have taken a page out of England's book, playing a truly uninspired match.
Everton trounced Roy Keane's sad little Sunderland in the biggest score line of the weekend. And it's time to take in the bets on which manager will be next to go: my money's on Southgate, whose Middlesbrough again couldn't take away an end product. Other safe bets-- Allardyce, Sanchez, and even old Rafa is getting closer the sharp end of the axe every time he opens his mouth. Next weekend we'll see which of the aforementioned bosses continues their woeful ways and gets the hook.
Goal of the week: Ireland's last minute volley, absolutely delicious. And fortunately for us watching at home we didn't have to see his underpants this time.
The match of the weekend for next week: Portsmouth v. Everton, maybe both sides will have goal explosions?
