Blackburn v Wolves

September 10th, 2009

Blackburn Rovers host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Ewood Park on Saturday looking for their first win of the new Premier League season. Rover’s manager Sam Allardyce has not been too impressed by the start his team have made this season and will be looking at Saturday’s game to hopefully grab the three points on offer and kick-start their season.

Mick McCarthy’s Wolves team, on the other hand, have managed to win one game out of their four played so far this season, and with a draw and two defeats from the other three games, McCarthy knows that every single point his team can muster this season could prove to be vital come next May.
Blackburn have played one fewer game than their opponents on Saturday, with two defeats and one draw the total sum of their efforts.

They have only managed to score one goal as well and that was in the second game of the season in a 2-1 away defeat to Sunderland. Allardyce’s boys faced Manchester City at home on the opening day of the season, losing 2-0, while playing West ham at home last time out, only managing a tame 0-0 draw. They currently occupy 18th position in the league table with their one point; only Bolton and Portsmouth are below them, both pointless.

Wolves have played relatively well since their opening day 2-0 home defeat to West Ham. They followed that with a trip to Wigan, winning 2-0, then an unlucky narrow 1-0 defeat at Manchester City and last time out drew 1-1 at home with Hull. They are thirteenth in the table with four points to their name.

Red Devils dampen the Gunners winning streak

August 30th, 2009

The big game of the day saw the Gunners visiting Old Trafford. The match started a little slow as expected, but it was not late for it to pick up pace. In the 39th minute Arshavin was fouled by Fletcher in the penalty area, but referee Dean overlooked and strangely, no one appealed. A minute later, little man from Russia, Arshavin scored past Foster from 25 yards silencing Old Trafford. The second half saw a composed side. In the 59th minute Rooney was fouled by Arsenal keeper Almunia, and awarded a penalty which he conveniently converted making the score 1-1.

5 minutes later Diaby headed in his own net from a Ryan Giggs free kick which saw Old Trafford celebrate. Since that second goal, Arsenal became disorganized and allowed United to counter on many occasions. Berbatov and Nani each should have scored for the kind of chances they got. Later in injury time, Rooney gave away possession, as if he was passing the ball to his own team mate and Persie made the most of that courtesy by scoring a goal.

The goal was disallowed due to its offside status which left a celebrating Wenger furious at the officials. He was later asked to leave the pitch by the fourth official. The match ended 2-1 to Manchester United. The win left the champions at 3rd place in the league table.

Elsewhere in the premier league Blackburn drew 0-0 against West Ham United. Stoke continued their campaign with a win over Sunderland and Wolverhampton drawing 1-1 at home against Hull city.

Wolves v Hull City

August 28th, 2009

Mick McCarthy’s Wolverhampton Wanderers side face Phil Brown’s Hull City on Saturday in a battle of the slow starters. Both teams have only one home win to their names so far this season, and both will be seeing Saturday’s encounter as the ideal match to put things right. Obviously it will be Wolves that begin slight favourites seeing as they are the home team, but both outfits will be fighting all the way for the three points on offer.

Both teams came through their midweek Carling Cup ties with victories, although Wolves were made to suffer before eventually seeing off Swindon Town 6-5 on penalties. Hull had no such bother at home to Southend, seeing off the Essex seasiders 3-1.

Wolves first league game of the season was at home to Gianfranco Zola’s West Ham side, who went back to London with the three points thanks to a 2-0 victory. Wanderers then travelled to Wigan, seeing off the hosts 1-0, before making the journey to the City of Manchester Stadium last week to face Manchester City’s superstars, losing that one 1-0, albeit after a decent performance.

Hull kicked off their season at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, only losing to an injury time goal giving Chelsea the 2-1 victory. They then entertained high-flying Tottenham and were thumped 5-1, before hosting Bolton last weekend and winning that game 1-0.
As a consequence of these games, both Wolves and Hull have three points apiece, Wolves occupying fourteenth position in the Premier League table and Hull one place below in fifteenth.
