* Dimitar Berbatov scoring for Manchester United in the 90th minute against Bolton
* Frank Lampard scoring for Chelsea in injury time against Stoke City; and
* Tim Cahill scoring in the 86th minute against Liverpool. Yay !
Screams of “Gooooooaaaaalllll !!!!!” greeting two of those occasions and “Nooooooooo !!!!!” the other one.
And this is what Premier League looks like now : http://soccernet.espn.go.com/tables?league=eng.1&cc=4716
It’s a tight race but Man United are at the top and you know what ? Aston Villa are all of 3 points away from the Red Devils. Talk of the Villans winning the Premier League, while sounding far fetched initially, isn’t exactly out of the question at this point in time.
And if you thought that the fight for the Premier League was exciting, then you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. The fight at the bottom of the Premier League is akin to a stampede to stay out of the trapdoor of relegation.
The bottom five teams all have the same points with the bottom three being relegated and the entire bottom half of the Premier League is separated by a mere 4 points. I don’t recall any season where the bottom teams in the Premier League have been so tightly bunched together – not at this stage of the season.
Anyway, for supporters of those teams in the dog fight, the term “relegation six-pointer” has never been applied to so many games.
