Man U has big turnaround while Drogba continues to lead Chelsea to Victory

This Past Wednesday, Man U had an embarrassing 1-0 loss to new Premier League team, Burnley. Although Man U did have a chance to tie up the game right before the half, Carrick was unlucky a missed his PK. However, Yesterday they were able to really turn things around against Wigan. The had an emphatic win with the final score resulting, 5-0. Goals came from Rooney (2), Berbatov, Owen, and in the 90th minute from Nani. It seems that Man U is still able to keep in relatively good form without Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Ferdinand did get hurt in training earlier this week, Man U will certainly be the team to watch - it seems as if this is one of those seasons for them that could either be really good or really bad. Only time will tell.

At the top of the table and currently tied for first with Tottenham are the Blue's. At the moment, it seems as if Didier Drogba really is the magic person on the team. After he came off of an okay season in 08/09, he has certainly turned things around and gotten off to a fabulous start. Out of the team's seven goal total, Drogba is responsible for 3 of them. Things are certainly looking bright for Ancelotti's squad.

Furthermore, with Hull's new addition of American Jozy Altidore, Hull has finally gotten their first win of the season. Altidore was able to make his debut an excellent one by assisting Ghilas in the 61st minute - only 1 minute after he had gotten onto the field. Hopefully this will improve America's soccer image and this certainly is one of those steps that we, Americans, needed for our progress.

Man U lose but, still are in 2nd!

Although Man U lost to Blackburn 4-3 at Edwood Park (away), they still hold second place. For Blackburn's Bently, he got a hat trick.

The first in the 63rd minute and the second in the 68th minute. Also scoring for Man U was Saha (37th minute).

As for cards, each team recieved 3 yellow cards but, Man U's Ferdinand recieved a red card in the 88th minute for his second yellow card. But, that did not really matter much because they basically had lost even though 1 goal behind. They could do nothing with 10 players and 2 minutes to go(plus stoppage time).
