Everything Is Broken!

1 broken record, 1 broken body and 1 broken team!


Saturday brought about two of the above; the broken record and team. The Premier League is the best league in the world and it showed why it is with an extraordinary day of action. Arsenal 4-0 after 68 minutes against Newcastle only for the game to finish 4-4. Louis Saha scored his first Premier League hat-trick and then one more bagging 4 in a 5-3 Everton win over struggling Blackpool. Carlos Tevez scored a hat-trick in 22 minutes as Manchester City beat West Brom 3-0. All of his added together and more means that a whopping 41 goals were scored on Saturday, a new record for the Premier League. Maybe most surprising of all I was treated to watching Manchester United lose. It was the first loss they had suffered this season and it came at the hands of bottom club Wolves! Even with the adding of some 'Fergie Time' Wolves managed to defend their goal for the whole second half. Man of the Match George Elokobi said. 'I said to the boys, 'We've got to play for 50 minutes in the second half. We know against United we'd get about five minutes of extra-time.' Many of United's opponents believe that they receive more added time when they are losing.


If you want to know how much fortunes can change in a year ask the people of Cleveland and most importantly the Cleveland Cavaliers. This time last year they had the best record in the NBA and were looking like they could win the Championship, a year on from that they have lost the best player in the league and their longest serving player; LeBron James and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. As if that wasn't enough, they now own the worst record in the NBA (8-43) and the longest losing streak in NBA history. The streak shows no sign of ending.


Sadly something that does look like it could end is Robert Kubica's Formula 1 driving career. Kubica was involved in a crash as he took part in a rally. His car crashed into a wall leaving him with horrible injuries. A broken arm and leg, he may have to have his hand amputated as it was crushed in the collision. Kubica finished 8th in the final driver standings in 2010 and 4th in 2008. He has recently been labelled as a future champion by former F1 champion Mario Andretti. Reports are saying that he may miss the whole season which begins next month, but Kubica has received backing from fellow drivers that he will be able to race this year.


I told you everything was broken, hopefully you enjoyed my second post. They won't all be this long, unless you like them long... No seriously I just wanted to show off in this one. Thinking about it again I maybe shouldn't have put the Kubica piece at the end because it will be freshest in your memory and it isn't nice to think about.


Peace Out!
