Funny weekend? I guess so, but when u mean top teams? Mhat exactly is the definition of a top team? Caso or Pedigree

If Bill Gates buys MK Dons of Milton Keynes or Plymouth Argyle and spends cash, gets the best players and starts winning, does that make them a top team? Yes  but No too,

Anyway, the London derbys did not suprise me, Its like IICC shooting Stars of Ibadan, playing Femo Scorpions of Eruwa, or Stationery Stores of Lagos playing NEPA of Lagos, it can go either way.

Lyon Losing, well that was a bit of a suprise, but dont forget Renne is not that bad also.

Real Madrid, not suprising, the La Liga does not respect anyone, the premiership is also changing slowly,

Barca?? They are at a slump right now, and they faced a decent Deportivo that hasnt lost a game at home, expected.

Bayern are no more the force of before. They dont have the dominance and fire power of years gone by. The last 2 seasons, other teams like Werder Bremen, Stuttgatt, Schalke 04 and Hamburg have been creeping in.

West Ham / Arsenal, as I said London Derby, Grit and determination will prevail.

Lastly, Spurs / Chelsea, Hmph?? We are actually a decent side now (Spurs that is). We play good football, but we didnt start well, new players, Chimbonda, Berbatov, Zakora, Ghaly have just started with the whole bunch, then we have striker combination problems, who do we use?? Defoe, Keane, Mido, Berbatov

Anyway, Chelsea played well also, but we are a good side that plays free flowing soccer like Arsenal & Man Utd. It wasn't a suprise we won, we havent beaten Chelsea in 16 yrs, YES! But we have gone through a revival, just like suddenly how an unachieving club like Chelsea got Abrahimovich and started winning tropies!

Thats the new way of football, but in all , am glad the Premiership is changing all teams can be beaten!
