Super Sunday (More than just Football)

Hello all again. This blog is now being read in Russia! Perhaps my hope that this will be read by millions will come true! Anyway down to business.



There's only one game in the Premier League today and that's Chelsea vs. Liverpool. Always a huge game in each teams seasons, this is undoubtly too close to call. Chelsea play too much of a high line in defence and that suits the game of Suarez and Bellamy who must surely start up front together. However there is the threat of the Chelsea attack which could consist of Drogba, Malouda, Sturridge Lampard and many others that can break a defence down any day of the week. Both midfield are pretty even too with pace, creativity and power in both.

You'll have noticed that I didn't mention Fernando Torres. Now of course as a Liverpool fan myself, I hope he has a nightmare today. I've been saying to my freinds all week if Torres plays Liverpool are perfectly safe as long as the ball is right in front of the target! However with my unbias head on, you can't help but feeling that if he has a great game today it might finally be the spark he needs to get into a run of consistent form (which is not absoloutly rubbish). Of course also it'll be sods law if Torres scores a hat-trick against Liverpool today!

However, for Chelsea they will have to be wary of Luis Suarez. If he turns up there will be problems in the Chelsea defence adding to the fact that Andre Villas Boas still isn't 100% sure on the make up of his back four. I was surprised to see that Suarez has only scored four goals this season, because it feels like he's done so much more. Nobody can deny, despite the recent racism allegations, that as a footballer he is a class act and on form he can beat a team on his own.

So I shall say a 1-0 win for Liverpool and I'm comforted by the fact that Kenny Dalglish has never lost a game as Liverpool manager against Chelsea (8 wins and 3 draws to be precise).



Also happening on this Super Sunday is the start of the World Tour Tennis Finals at the O2 Arena in London, with Roger Federer playing as I type. He, as always is ones of the favourites, along with Murray and Nadal, but it's difficult to look beyond Novak Djokovic, with his amount of losses in 2011 in singles is quite staggering and I predict he shall beat Nadal in the final next Sunday.



The final part of Super Sunday (Well early Monday morning in the UK) is WWE Survivor Series in Madison Square Garden in New York, where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returns to team with his Wrestlemania 28 opponent John Cena against the Miz and R-Truth. The Cena-Rock match at 'Mania is being promoted hugely in the US and this match shall have many eyes glued to their screen to see if they both can co-exist. We must not forget that there is real-life animosity between these two and you must wonder whether this will play a factor in the success or not of this match. Furthermore CM Punk goes in to the garden to attempt to win the WWE title from Alberto Del Rio. Lets just say that nearly everybody who is anybody wants him to win this match and have his chance at the top of the company.

So sit back relax and enjoy Super Sunday. The results shall be fascinating and may be talked about for a very long time.

So until next time the Outsider is out!
