Gather round, EoFFers! Let us all celebrate! why? Pepe Reina has won the Barclays Golden Glove award for the second season running after keeping 19 clean sheets in the Barclays Premier League campaign. Reina's closest competition came from Everton's Tim Howard (14 shut outs) and Reading's Marcus Hahnemann (13) I suspect our goals conceded column would've been the lowest if our first six away fixtures hadn't been United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bolton, Everton and an up-for-it Sheffield United.
Speaking of Liverpool keepers, silly Scott Carson thinks he will become Aston Villa's #1 keeper by going out on loan there! No Scott, I say no! You will be behind Sorensen. And we signed some French dude in his place, so smiles all round.
Meanwhile, I am inviting you all to witness my experiment. Using my superbly edited Pro Evolution Soccer 5, I have played all the opening fixtures of the season on six star (the hardest) difficulty. I am the team on the left, and I play to win! So here are the results.
Arsenal 0-0 Fulham (Arsenal are a horrible team to play with)
Liverpool 4-1 Aston Villa (hahaha even I am not that optimistic!)
Blackburn 1-0 Middlesbrough
Chelsea 5-0 Birmingham (there was a 5 minute period where I scored 3)
Portsmouth 1-1 Derby (Derby captain Matthew Oakley smashes in a last minute equaliser)
Manchester United 2-1 Reading (Reading snatched a first minute lead, but Ole Gunnar Solksjaer equalised with an overhead kick and then grabbed the winner)
Manchester City 0-0 West Ham
Newcastle 2-0 Bolton
Wigan 0-0 Everton (ugh, two 4-5-1 defensive SMALL teams. Boring!)
Spurs 2-0 Sunderland.
Now we sit back and wait to see how accurate it truly is. Exciting, eh folks?
