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!

VIP Heineken Experience 2012

Last Saturday was the 2012 Champions League Final. Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich.

Bayern had an advantage because they were playing at their home ground in Munich. It's very rare for a final of this magnitude to be played at one of the finalists' home ground.

We couldn't make it to Munich to watch the final but Heineken together with Spiga D'Oro and Upstairs brought the final to us.

We were treated to a table for ten and free food and what seemed like an endless supply of Heineken. I was fortunate enough to win a competition held by Heineken.

My friends and I got there well before the match started. This gave us enough time to enjoy the great food Spiga never fails to deliver and get our thirsts quenched by Heineken.

The match itself produced a disappointing result as Chelsea had won by penalty shoot out. I always feel the team that played a better game were robbed when they lose through penalties at the end.

By Chelsea winning the 2012 Champions League Final means they don't have to qualify for the tournament next season and that means Tottenham Hotspurs don't qualify as they finished fourth in the Barclays Premier League.

But all in all we had fun. The atmosphere Upstairs was great and Spiga food is always delicious.

Looking forward to more events at this great little venue.

Manchester Destroys North London

This had to be the most exciting football weekend this season of the Barclays Premier League!

Both Manchester teams anihilated both North London teams. Manchester City beat a desparate Tottenham Hotspurs team 5-1 at White Hart Lane.

Four of City's goals came from Edin Dzenko, two of which were assisted by City's latest addition, Samir Nasri.


Manchester United massacred Arsenal later in the afternoon with a full time score of 8-2! Wenger had no chance with trying to win the match as he fronted a very weak team against United.

Many jokes were popping up on social networks like "I'd 8-2 to be Arsene Wenger now" or "United 8 Arsenal for supper" and "Wenger released a statement: 8-2 Brutus"!

The stars of Manchester United were the youngsters, Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverly . They were quick, agile and innovative and the goals came quickly. Wayne Rooney scored his first hat-trick of the season, two from set pieces. His new hair is really helping his game!

Looks like it's going to be a race to the title by the two teams from Manchester. All the others can do is just stand and watch. One question in their minds. Will it be City or United?
