City edge into the EPL lead As is invariably the case, I watched a different game than the pundits who rabbit on about City being “superior in every position”. It was a good and close game and it could have gone either way. It was decided by a header from a corner that was just random luck. Commentators get corners all wrong. At the EPL level of play goals from corners are a random event. It’s not because Kompany “wanted it more” or Smalling made a positional error. You hit 100 balls into the six yard line and 4 or 5 will end up in the net. City pulled the ball marked “goal” out of the urn. It could just as easily have been United. But the result was fair; United barely created anything. Once again, Rooney was underwhelming in a big game. I don’t understand what Sralex sees in Welbeck. I would still like to see United take the championship but I’m flummoxed over his treatment of Berbatov. Berbatov is the only world-class striker on the squad – EPL top scorer last year to boot – and has the class to have created something against a top team like City but something has rubbed Ferguson up the wrong way and he’s already said that the superb Bulgarian will be on his bike this Summer. On an unrelated matter, there’s a lot of nonsense talked about how “golf needs Tiger”. For the future of golf look to the Lady’s game. Golf is a world game now and its future is in the East. No doubt the USPGA will not like its gradual eclipse by the Asian tours and the dominance of Asian golfers on the USPGA tour; US audiences will likely decline but worldwide the game will get bigger.
