Because I haven't posted in a very long time indeed. Keep meaning to. Got a few post drafts saved but I just can't seem to bring myself to actually write any of these. For those of you who don't follow, Liverpool brought in glorious victory over Man U the week after my anger post, lost on All Hallow's Eve, and tied things up on the 9th. So yes, things haven't been going too hot this season indeed, although it's becoming apparent it's for reasons other than Liverpool being a two-man team, thankfully. Anyway, as of last game, here are the Premier League rankings:
1 Chelsea 12 10 0 2 29 8 +21 30 2010–11 UEFA Champions League Group stage
2 Arsenal 11 8 1 2 36 14 +22 25
3 Manchester United 12 8 1 3 23 12 +11 25
4 Tottenham Hotspur 12 7 1 4 23 17 +6 22 2010–11 UEFA Champions League Play-off round
5 Aston Villa 12 6 3 3 20 12 +8 21 2010–11 UEFA Europa League Play-off round
6 Manchester City 11 5 5 1 21 14 +7 20
7 Liverpool 12 6 1 5 27 18 +9 19
8 Sunderland 12 5 2 5 20 19 +1 17
9 Stoke City 12 4 4 4 12 15 −3 16
10 Burnley 12 5 1 6 15 25 −10 16
11 Fulham 11 4 3 4 14 14 0 15
12 Everton 11 4 3 4 15 17 −2 15
13 Wigan Athletic 12 4 2 6 13 22 −9 14
14 Blackburn Rovers 11 4 1 6 14 25 −11 13
15 Birmingham City 12 3 3 6 10 14 −4 12
16 Bolton Wanderers 11 3 2 6 15 24 −9 11
17 Hull City 12 3 2 7 10 25 −15 11
18 West Ham United 12 2 4 6 16 20 −4 10 Relegation to 2010–11 Football League Championship
19 Wolverhampton Wanderers 12 2 4 6 12 22 −10 10
20 Portsmouth 12 2 1 9 10 18 −8 7
Which can be read in a neater format on Wikipedia.
So we're 7th right now, with a game against Man City next Saturday. I am PRAYING for a win. I am hopeful, nay, I am CERTAIN Liverpool will win. And a win against Man City could be enough to make the teams swap places. Then the Reds just need to knock Aston Villa out of the way. As long as we score enough points to keep in the top 5, I'll be content. Of course I'd be happy even if the Reds end up at #20. Once a Red, always a Red. But I'd really like to see the team go on to the top five again.

I saw you at Nathan's and since you're a mystery writer and like the old pulps, too, I thought I'd stop by.
ReplyDeleteDo you write about sports mostly? Or also mystery writing?
Don't feel bad about not posting often enough. You should see my blog. You'll laugh.
