The Number 20


A lot has been happening in the world of English football recently.

If you haven't heard yet then you've been sleeping under a rock. Manchester United closed the deal on their 20th English Premier League title. Social media went mental last night after Robin van Persie scored a hat trick winning the match against Aston Villa and the 2013 EPL title for Manchester United with 4 games to go to the end of the season.

Fans at Old Trafford kept singing Glory Glory Man United and other chants including Robin Van Persie's name as the game drew to a close and didn't leave till the last player left the pitch after doing their victory laps.

There were some interesting results over the weekend too. Tottenham Hotspurs came from the back to beat Manchester City 3-1 at the lane thus coming closer to securing their place in the European Champions League next season.

Liverpool literally chowed Chelsea in the second half when Luis Suarez took a bite out of Ivanovic. Many memes were spawned from that bite. The final score for that game was 2-2.

I don't know what was going through Suarez's mind when he went in for the chomp but one thing is for sure when Liverpool is hungry for a win they don't fright to take a bite!

Congrats to Manchester United on a well executed season. Proving to all haters(LFC) that they are the best team in the history of football in England.

Pinch Me. I'm Dreaming

I was jumping up and down on Saturday night after the final whistle blew at Old Trafford. I only realised that Andre Villa-Boas was doing the same dance I was after watching the replay.

Tottenham Hotspurs beat Manchester United 2-3 for the first time in 23 years at Old Trafford. Their first away win against Man United since 1989 in the English Premier League. AVB was visibly in heaven!

Spurs dominated the first half taking the lead just after a mere 2 minutes into the game from a strike from Vertonghen. The second goal was by Gareth Bale after a blistering run from ten meters inside Spurs half. Rio Ferdinand didn't have the pace or the "silks" to catch him.



The second half saw United having more possesion of the ball but I guess Ferguson's shoe and hairdryer talk in the change room didn't work because the final score saw Manchester United losing at home and a very ecstactic Tottenham Hotspurs team leaving Old Trafford winners!
