Football on the TV

It certainly is a Super Sunday today for Premiership football with a lunch time Midlands derby between West Brom and Aston Villa quickly followed by Chelsea V Man U at 2pm and with another 3 Premiership games this Sunday I will be certainly watching MOTD 2 tonight at 10pm.

West Brom Villa was a good to game to start the day with, with Villa scoring twice in the first half through Carew and Abonglohor before James Morrison pulled one back for West Brom just as I was finishing off my full English.

Villa hit the post twice in the 2nd half and West Brom probed with some good football but there were no more goals.

Chelsea against Man United is one of the BIG games in the Premiership and could go someway to shaping the title race as a Chelsea victory would see them open up a 9 point gap on United, although it is early days yet. The big question from Chelsea is if Drogba would start and from United would Ronaldo start after coming on in mid week?

The answer is both players begin on the bench and Deco picks up an injury in the warm up and is replaced by Ballack. The game doesn't disappoint and after a lively opening Park gives United a 1-0 lead after 18 minutes and classic high octane Premiership battle continued with United going in 1-0 up at half time.

Chelsea haven't been beat at home since February 2004 and they were not going to relinquish that record to United. Drogba replaced Maloude at half time but it was another substitute, Kalou who headed in the equaliser ten minutes from time. There was a bizarre end to the game where both Andy Gray and Martyn Tyler were left bemused as to whether the ref had blown for full time or not but a decent Sunday spectacle and I'm looking forward to MOTD2 with Man City putting 6 past Portsmouth and 4 goals shared at the KC stadium in a 2-2 draw between Hull and Everton there will be some good games on there tonight.
