Footie Goes Fourth

Third week of English Premier football.

Seems like there were less games than usual ... perhaps because there was a bank holiday?

In any event, Chelsea tied 1-1 with Tottenham, which means they remain on top. They've gone for ages without a loss. Liverpool had a nil-nil with Aston Villa, so they get to stay toward the top of the table as well.

Surprisingly, it's Man City who's third in the rankings -- Man U is all the way at number 9, but then again, they didn't play this week. Apparently, City got an emotional boost from the announcement that their club was just purchased by Abu-Dabi and their own acquisition of the single-monikered Brazilian Robinho.

But counting out Manchester United is a fool's game. As this big transfer weekend concluded, they finally secured the amazing Bulgarian striker, Dimitar Berbatov. If this bloke stays healthy, Man U will be keeping their cup.
