props to the merseysiders, and the latics

everton held chelsea as chelsea dropped first points this season. all props go to the spirited men of david moyes, especially phil neville, the former manchester united man who earned much of my respect when he decided to leave united to help out everton in their quest to succeed in the premiership like the previous year.

congratulations mr. mourinho, your arrogance has successfully drawn nature's attention. just like paying electricity bills means drawing the attention of the electric company such that they will cut you off without fail every time, your claim that with eighteen consecutive wins chelsea could wrap up the title by boxing day will put you on top of nature's to-be-screwed-around-with list, and we can see that list being executed today at goodison park.

if only you are smart enough to know how nature works, mr. mourinho. if only you know.

everton did the impossible by claiming fourth place last season. according to douglas adams, anything that could not have possibly been done, would have of course been done impossibly. the question is how? that might be one answer that david moyes is currently seeking as he struggled to get everton off the bottom of the league, but regardless, they have earned much of my respect, and are now currently one of the teams that i am rooting for.

manchester united is still, of course by far, my favorite, although they don't seem to be doing quite well this season. but they and i have shared so much history since 1996, it would be hard to not be a fan.

and wigan athletic, a team that i have randomly put in my list as a strong contender, went up to fourth place after claiming another victory, this time at villa park. much props to paul jewell.

if i were to bet on three teams that would be at the top of the league in june, it would be manchester united, wigan athletic, and everton. but of course i would lose the bet.
