Oh man, how bad have they been? Well, let’s just say I gave up wearing my Tottenham scarf because I was too embarrassed to be seen in it. I was laughed at by a TTC conductor who is an Arsenal fan. I was laughed at by a Sunderland fan in a store for god’s sake! How humiliating was that… laughed at by a SUNDERLAND FAN of all people.

AH! But they are no longer bottom of the barrel. They are just a teeny, tiny centimetre above the bottom. They’ve begun to figure out how to put the ball in the opposing teams goal. Holy Sh*t I didn’t think they knew how to. West Brom is now the bottom feeders, phew.

If they start playing like they did at the beginning of the season, I just may have to go over there and kick some butts!

I just might be able to start wearing my beloved Tottenham scarf again.

I’m also glad to see Manchester City is still doing well. After so many years as the butt of so many jokes, I’m cheering for them to keep up their momentum. Man City is sitting at #5 in the league with 9 points. Early days I know! I’ll be split in my loyalty if both make it to the finals in the Premiership league. But I have a sneaking suspicion Liverpool will be the team to beat this year.

Arsenal beat Portsmouth 3-1 and Man City lost its game 0-1 to Blackburn. Liverpool hammered their poor opponents Derby, on Saturday. They rolled right over Derby with a 6-0 win. Derby is sitting at the bottom of the heap, and Saturday’s pummelling didn’t help. Games like that tend to screw up the top scorer results. Torres and Alonso both double scored and that pushed them up in the count. Derby isn’t exactly a top notch opponent and their goal keeping was more like watching water rushing through a sieve a than goal keeping. Mind you Sunderland must be happy to have Derby around – Derby serves as a nice pillow at the bottom of the ratings for a change.

Across the pond, here in North America, Toronto is sitting in the bottom of the Eastern League, but ahead of both LA and Salt Lake. Although folks are upset with Toronto’s lack of progress in the league, I think they are being unjustly harsh. This is Toronto’s first year in the the MSL. They have put on some good games, with lots of spirit. I’m not going to write all the usual stuff about being patient etc, that’s a given. I get impatient with people who want instant gratification. Give it a rest and enjoy the team as it builds. Sheesh….
