I only watched the second half of the Everton-Liverpool match but based on balls in the net, Liverpools deserved the win, based on play on the pitch, Everton deserved the game. I thought other than the missed goal it was a well ref'd game. I used to have a soft spot for Liverpool based on the 2005 champions league final (first club game to get me really engaged), but as long as Suarez plays for them I have to cheer against them. There is also something I don't like about Brendan Rodgers. I hate Suarez and Rodgers' faces.

The Chelsea-ManU game had the makings of a classic going into the half. The second half was pretty pathetic. You won't hear any complaints from me about the card for diving as I hate it and think they need to keep working to get it out of the game. The missed offside is terrible though. I know it is hard to call in real time, but that's the linesman job that he gets paid for. During the game the commentators kept mentioning how Fergie spoke before the game about their previous poor showings at the bridge were the result of questionable calls against them (or something to that effect), well as usual he got what he wanted.

I'm just glad that I am much too cheap to gamble on football. I would drive myself crazy if I did.
