I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend. I know I did. It was a good time going to parties with my friends and seeing students dressed up in a variety of costumes.
In the English Premier League, it was also a slightly spooky weekend as well. Eight red cards were handed out on Saturday, setting a new record for the league. Sunday also produced one more.
Liverpool, who were responsible for two of the reds on Saturday, slumped to their sixth defeat in seven games losing 3-1 to Fulham. This is certainly an abnormal trend for the Merseyside club who now look completely out of the title race. The seat of manager Rafa Benitez is heating up and approaching an uncomfortable level. The Kop at Anfield certainly expects better and it will be interesting to see just how the situation unravels.
Liverpool-Fulham highlights:
Liverpool needs to oust the ghouls that are haunting the club right now, and in a hurry.
On Saturday, Hull City manager Phil Brown was expecting the axe after the recent poor results of the club continued with a 2-0 loss to Burnley. But the news out of Hull today was a bit different. The current dwellers of the Premier League basement appointed a new chairman who said that he would give Brown his,"full support." We'll see how long that lasts.
So after a weird weekend the Premier League rolls on. Maybe the next matchday will bring something odd or abnormal. Stay tuned.
