The premiership brought November in with style, the much anticipated match between Arsenal and United lived up to its billing. Arsenal stopped United's win streak, and in doing so showed that they've got desire as well as skill. Some how or another the Gunners showed a little heart and dug out an equalizer in the dying minutes of the match. Arsenal are still undefeated, but keeping it up for the whole season for only the second time in only a handful of years doesn't sound likely.
The other unbeaten side, Liverpool were lucky to escape the first half against Blackburn. Rovers controlled the game and rattled the crossbar two times before the interval. However, Liverpool came out of the locker room looking like a completely different team and were the better side in the second half. Perhaps a draw was a fair result, although the match could have a used a goal or two. Chelsea and Man City were both back to their usual ways: with Chelsea winning a dull match 2-0 at Wigan and City scrapping up all the points against lackluster Sunderland. Next weekend City will take on Pompey who absolutely destroyed Newcastle with a flury of early first half goals; looks like we may see which one is the real deal.
I'll be anxiously awaiting next week's match-up between Man Utd and Blackburn, it will be televised, for those of us with FSC, and Blackburn have a habit of troubling United, so we'll let you know how it goes.
