Before I start, I'd like to mention that "ATL" stands for "Around The League", and I'll use this abbreviation in many column headlines. Now that that's out of the way, let's begin.
Everton vs Chelsea: Surprisingly, Everton were able to pick up all three points at home in a 2-0 win. Steven Pienaar has been on fire since joining Everton in the January transfer window, and he struck nicely inside the first ten minutes. Incredibly, Liverpool lost no ground today in the chase for a Champions League spot. I don't feel that Chelsea will finish ahead of us as they can't defend, can't beat bad teams, and have karma against them after a racism incident. Then again, two of those three things apply to us too.
Tottenham vs Newcastle: Can you ever call a 5-0 defeat dropping points? Probably not, but it still helps Liverpool in the chase for fourth. Newcastle accidentally blinked and when they opened their eyes they were down 2-0 in the fifth minute. Emmanuel Adebayor had a goal and four assists. Yes you read that right. Those four assists marked the most in a game in the current EPL campaign. Besides a 3-0 win against those devils in Manchester, Newcastle have really struggled against the big boys.
Arsenal vs Sunderland: A true heartbreaker as Sunderland blew a late lead to lose 2-1 to the Gunners. Thierry Henry added to his collection of special moments with the winner in what will probably be his last ever game for Arsenal. His loan spell ended after the game.
Norwich: If the Chelsea news upped your spirits, let me bring them down again. Norwich City are four points behind us. Enough said.

Poo dropping edition
Alternative name there. Everytime we are gifted some results around the league we drop a deuce.
Chance to make up ground on NUFC and CFC I really have no hope at 4th too many wasted points. Oh what could have been.
Mr. Henry has some serious questions to address. I would be suprised if he does not have a coming to jesus meeting with Kenny and company. JE3 and Bellers are the only signings looking like they belong.

I missed the game today lucky me
but I have to say every time we stumble most of the teams we are chasing for 4th place stumble too. We still play Newcastle Chelski and Arsenal so we can take care of our own business and we still have Carling cup and FA to play for I am going to put my eggs in those two baskets and than if we make 4th or 5th in EPL it will be a bonus I firmly believe we are a year away(ie summer transfer window)
And as much as I live Luis because he is a member of our tribe I can really understand why other people cannot stand him.
