This weekend serves up a double dose of derby challenges with the Merseyside and North London derbies. As a "Red" the Everton game is always a fixture I look forward to as we try to prove our superiority over the blue side of Liverpool. I'm anxious about which team Kenny will select, will he be cautious or will he be adventurous. Personally I think this game calls out for a 4-5-1 with Kuyt and Bellamy out wide, Suarez up front and Spearing in the middle with Lucas and Adam. I think we could win this one and really hope we can start winning more games away from home.
Spurs v Arsenal should be interesting, the last couple of years have seen some high scoring draws and maybe this will be no different. It's a strange one as Spurs are probably favorites, not just because they are playing at home but due to their winning three on the trot. Arsenal are hard to predict this season but I think they'll be up for this game and it should be a good one to watch.
It's funny how this week's events turned out; Man City seemed to be assuring everyone they'll beat Bayern but failed to deliver. Mancini is probably thankful the focus is all on Tevez and not on how City fell short. Bayern are hot right now and with Gomez scoring for fun I expect them to reclaim the Bundesliga title. On the Tevez matter, my view is that he has no excuse refusing to play no matter how he felt. I wonder if in some novel way a club can sue a player for loss of revenue or for being the reason they lost a game (Now that's an idea). Think about it, if they could argue that by refusing to play he denied the club a chance to salvage something from the game ergo he lost them the game and any revenue associated with winning a UCL game.
