No mention of the Mark Sanchez rumours yet?

In addition to the Arsenal game's madness, there were also two other games featuring hat-tricks (Tevez for Man City and Louis Saha with a quartet for Everton), and a total of 41 goals scored in the Saturday games, the most since the inception of the Premier League in 1992. Tremendous action.
So, what's the bet on a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge tomorrow?
Oh yeah, and Wolves beat Man Utd 2-1, ending United's hopes for an unbeaten season, as well as featuring the hilarity of the bottom team in the league beating the top team in the league.

Clarke MacArthur and Tim Brent are first on to the ice,...
Mikhail Grabovski would have been first on the ice, but stops to sign an autograph. Tim Brent, Joey Crabb and Darryl Boyce beat him to the ice....
Tim Brent is the first Leaf on the ice...
Tim Brent and Luke Schenn are first on the ice...
Add in his penchant for blocking shots (three in one shift!) and I think we have our "blue-collar hero" choice for the Maple Leafs.

Things I learned from that match:
Joey Barton is a cheating c**t.
That is all.

Practice ?
Oh no, the Leafs won another game. Guess that will make them lead on all sportscasts north of the border until the playoffs begin.
On the flip side, I know the Reimer family and they are great people .. always helping out everyone in the communities where they live. I hope someday their son gets a chance with a real hockey franchise.

I'd just like to say that I'm glad the NFL restricts Super Bowls to warm-weather cities, and thus avoids having weather interfere with the game.
Oh, wait. Whoops. Sorry for anyone in the DFW area.
