Premiership Midweek 2

Fulham - beat Bolton 2-1 - Bolton wouldn't have scored except that the ball was wet and Fulham goaltender Tony Warner dropped the ball right onto the foot of former Fulham man Heidar Helguson, who netted it to give Bolton a 1-0 lead. Then Fulham came stumbling back, and somehow ended up with a 2-1 lead.

They sat on that lead forever, but made it work. We'll take it.

Nice game from David Healy, who's got 2 goals in two games. Dempsey played 10 minutes - I have a feeling the reason he doesn't play more is because he's a defensive liability.

Also watched Man City v Derby Count, a game so memorable that I had to look up who Man City played just now. And I watch 70 minutes of the game. Derby looked ok, and much more confident than I expected since most the experts have them picked for relegation.

And I caught glimpses of Pompy/Man United - Tevez looks like Frankenstein ran over by a car and shot full of pellets. What's up with his neck. Honestly I'd be afraid to give the guy a celebratory hug if he scored. He might leave a residue on you. But he had a assist and the physical specimen that is Christiano Ronaldo leaned in during the celebration and their hair touched. Don't be surprised if Ronaldo turns into Swamp Thing by this time next week.

Uh. Yeah.

The Middlesbros (my fantasy EPL team) jumped up to 6th in the table. We're going to Europe.

No one understood that reference but Jim.

UEFA Cup or Champions League? I'd say it looks like the UEFA Cup for you.

And what in the hell is SLSU trying to do with that logo? Looks like King Richard going off to the Holy Land to slay infidels.

HAHAHA... The logo mirrors the statue that's outside the St. Louis Art Musuem in Forest Park.

It's actually Saint Louis

He kind of looks like the Burger King, don't he?

He's a dead ringer for Burger King...a rather militant Burger King.
