This week's Super Sunday was Remembrance Sunday as two Premiership grounds fell silent in honour before watching their soldiers combat in the war of the Premiership. The first battle was at Goodison Park where Everton took on Arsenal. 66/1 was the odds on Bacary Sagna scoring the opening goal, but that's exactly what happened after 36 minutes with Sagna blasting the ball into the roof of Everton's net. The half-time team talk didn't work for David Moyes as Arsenal started the second half stronger and a typical Arsenal was rounded off by captain Fabregas just three minutes after the restart. From there Everton came into the half and Fabianski had a masterclass in front of goal to deny Everton from scoring. Although Arsenal should have been down to ten men when Squillaci brought down Saha when he was last man, he escaped with a yellow card. However it didn't deter the Everton attack and they pulled one back just before injury time through Tim Cahill after Arsenal failed to deal with a corner. But Everton couldn't force an equaliser and Arsenal moved to second in the table.
Arsenal stayed two points behind leaders Chelsea, who suffered their first home defeat of the season and their worst home defeat for seven years against Sunderland. In truth, Chelsea weren't at the races with their makeshift midfield and defence but Petr Cech also displayed a goalkeeping masterclass to keep Sunderland at bay. Chelsea were also lucky not to be down to ten men when Ivanovic imitated Squillaci and also escaped with a yellow card. Sunderland got their reward however just before half-time when Nedum Onouha capitalised on slack defending and just waltzed into the box before firing past Cech. Chelsea didn't get any better in the second half and were two behind seven minutes after the restart when in form Gyan struck again. Sunderland rounded off the night with an Ashley Cole mistake, he played a through ball to opponent, and on loan from Manchester United, Danny Welbeck who beat Cech in the one-on-one situation to make 3-0 three minutes from time.

Red Bull Celebrate Double Championship In Dubai
The curtain came down on the Formula 1 stage as the drivers headed for their final race of the season in beautiful Abu Dhabi. With four possible contenders still, mathematically, in with a chance of securing the Drivers' Championship everyone knew qualifying would play a crucial part. Vettel came out on top as he qualified for yet another Red Bull pole with Hamilton keeping his dreams alive in second. Championship leader Alonso was third with his biggest rival Webber stuck behind Button in fifth.
Crucially Vettel got a clean start in the race and kept his position whereas Alonso had moved down to fourth, which would have been enough to win him the Championship. Schumacher was made to spin by team mate Rosberg and Liuzzi crashed over the top of him to force the Safety Car. Many of the 'mid-fielders' took this opportunity to take their mandatory tyre change and it played a pivotal role in deciding the Championship winner. Racing resumed after six laps with the contenders all keeping their positions.
In a bid to unnerve Vettel, Webber blinked first and pitted around the twelfth lap. With Ferrari believing Webber was Alonso's biggest title threat they retorted and pitted Alonso a few laps later to emerge ahead of him. What Alonso didn't count on when re-emerging to the track in thirteenth was that he would be stuck behind a train of Petrov and Rosberg who had already pitted during the Safety Car. This blew the Championship wide open as Vettel was now suddenly looking likely to become Champion. Hamilton also failed in his pitting strategy as he became stuck behind Kubica who didn't pit until very late on. The other incidents were Glock suffering a gearbox failure that led him to crash on the 46th lap and Trulli's rear wing fell off on the penultimate lap. Alonso couldn't get past Petrov and Webber was behind Alonso which meant that Alonso couldn't accumulate enough points to win his third Drivers' Championship, meaning that Vettel lead from start to finish to become F1's youngest ever Drivers' Champion. Here's the race result in full:
1. Vettel (Red Bull), 2. Button (McLaren), 3. Hamilton (McLaren), 4. Rosberg (Mercedes), 5. Kubica (Renault), 6. Petrov (Renault), 7. Alonso (Ferrari), 8. Webber (Red Bull), 9. Alguersuari (Toro Rosso), 10. Massa (Ferrari), 11. Heidfeld (Sauber), 12. Barrichello (Williams), 13. Sutil (Force India), 14. Kobayashi (Sauber), 15. Buemi (Toro Rosso), 16.

Barclay's Premier League Round-Up 13/11/10
As the grounds across fell silent in honour of our fallen soldiers throughout the years, the Premiership tried its hardest to give a Saturday worth of remembrance. The lunch-time game was between Aston Villa and Manchester United, the first half consisted of Berbatov missing another sitter in the opening exchanges with Villa growing into the half but neither team really created any meaningful chances. The second half was much better in comparison with both teams playing more attacking and Villa were very much on the front foot. They hit the cross bar and post in quick succession before a quick break saw Ashley Young brought down by Brown in the penalty area and was awarded the spot kick, Young converted it and Villa were finally ahead after 72 minutes. As Sir Alex Ferguson rung the changes, he may have regretted it at first when one of the subs Macheda gave the ball away cheaply in the Villa half. This resulted in another quick break by the youthful Villa and Albrighton was on hand to double Villa's lead four minutes after the penalty. With their unbeaten run looking in tatters United finally got themselves going and Macheda atoned for his error with a beautiful top corner goal with nine minutes left to play. With the youngsters becoming anxious as United pressed for an equaliser, United were getting themselves a couple of corners. The second corner didn't pose any threat initially but Nani kept the ball alive by swinging a cross back in and it was met by Vidic who scored the equaliser to keep United's unbeaten run in tact.
After a couple of poor results in the league recently, Tottenham came back into form with a good win over Blackburn. Gareth Bale returned to lethal goal scoring fashion when he opened the scoring after sixteen minutes. Pavlyuchenko made it 2-0 three minutes before half-time. Crouch then virtually ended the game after 69 minutes before Bale scored his second six minutes later. Blackburn had a little resurgence which resulted in captain Nelsen scoring with ten minutes left and Gael Givet grabbing a second in second half injury time.
There were another five goals at Molineux as Wolves entertained Bolton. Although Wolves got off to the worst possible start when Richard Stearman scored an own goal in the very first minute. There were then three goals in seven minutes as Elmander made it 2-0 after 62 minutes before Holden scored Bolton's third five minutes later. Wolves pulled one back two minutes later thanks to Kevin Foley before Wolves were back in the game when substitute Steven Fletcher scored after 77 minutes. Bolton hung onto the win however to leave Wolves in the relegation zone.
A seventieth minute goal from Victor Moses was enough for Wigan to beat West Brom at the DW Stadium. However the other three three o'clock kick-offs were goalless. Newcastle drew with Fulham, Ian Holloway made another eleven changes to his team against West Ham which couldn't bring a goal and Manchester City were booed off after another goalless draw, this time against Birmingham.
The tea time kick-off saw Liverpool's recent run of form end away to Stoke. Ricardo Fuller put Stoke ahead eleven minutes into the second half before there was an entertaining bout of second half injury time. Firstly Kenwyne Jones secured all three points after Gerrard gave the ball away then Lucas became the only player in the league to be sent off yesterday after receiving a second yellow card.

Premier League Snooker Week Nine
The penultimate week of the Snooker Premier League arrived at Grimsby as the three places to join Marco Fu in the finals week-end became hotly contested. Shaun Murphy was first up, playing his penultimate fixture against Williams who was playing his final match. If Murphy won he would need Ronnie O'Sullivan to win later to be guaranteed of qualifying whereas Williams would qualify if he won. The Welshman made a tactical error in the first frame that almost won it for him. He decided to concede a time foul consisting of five points to avoid wasting a time-out, it seemed to have been a good decision as he then raced to a break of 36. But he squandered the following shot and was left to rue the time foul as Murphy took the first frame 69-36. Murphy then went to double his lead with a whitewash of 101-o but he didn't make a century break. Williams also replied in the third frame with a whitewash of his own, he also required two visits to win the frame 84-0. As the tension rose and the wind whistled around the arena, the match became a lot more tentative and more snookers were applied. Murphy guaranteed himself a point after taking the fourth frame 69-58. The penultimate frame went to a black ball finish which Murphy fluked to make sure he was going to win the match. With the pressure off Williams restored a two frame deficit by winning the final frame 63-35. Murphy now sits on six points with Robertson his opponent next week whereas Williams anxiously sits on five points and has to hope results go his way to qualify.
After his win, Murphy watched intently on the other match of the night between O'Sullivan and Robertson, knowing that an O'Sullivan win would put them both through to finals week-end. Despite Ronnie and Robertson being arguably the best attacking players in the world the first frame had a six minute snooker rally. O'Sullivan emerged from it victorious by winning the frame 83-40. The second frame continued in the same vain as both players showed off their defensive skill. But when then chances arrived O'Sullivan capitalised the better as he also took the second frame with an 85-20 scoreline. The third frame was secured by O'Sullivan to guarantee himself at least a point when he took two visits to win it 128-0. The fourth frame was over before it started as O'Sullivan wasn't to be denied the victory and took the only the century break of the night of 130 to win the frame 134-0. Robertson then came into the game and restored some pride to give himself a possible chance to qualify next week by taking the final to frames. He won the fifth frame 64-32 and then took the final frame 79-59. With O'Sullivan now qualified on seven points, Robertson knows that a win next week against Murphy might not be enough to progress as he is on three points.
For Robertson to qualify next week he was to beat Murphy and hope that Selby loses to O'Sullivan. If Robertson wins 4-2 Selby has to lose 5-1 for the Aussie to progress, if he wins 5-1 then Selby has to lose 4-2 or worse and if Robertson secures another 6-0 whitewash then Selby just has to lose for Robertson to progress. All Selby needs to do next week is secure a point to be guaranteed that final place in finals week-end. As for Williams he can qualify if Robertson loses or draws and if Selby loses 6-0. If Selby loses 5-1 then he will go through on money won because frame wins would be equal between him and Williams.

Mid-Week Premiership
This week we were treated to a mid-week schedule of Barclay's Premier League action full it's usual good, bad and ugly sides to the beautiful game. Only two games took place Tuesday while the rest had a day extra to concentrate on their opponents. In most cases the games took a while to warm up in the cold November weather and the first game between Tottenham and Sunderland was no exception. With no goals in the first half, the deadlock was broken by Rafael Van Der Vaart after 64 minutes. However Tottenham's lead lasted only three minutes when Sunderland's record signing Asamoah Gyan struck goal again.
The other Tuesday fixture was at the Britannia stadium where Stoke hosted Birmingham. The only goal in the first half came in the minute before half-time via Robert Huth for Stoke. Ricardo Fuller then doubled Stoke's lead after 71 minutes before substitute Keith Fahey pulled one back for Birmingham. Birmingham were level after 76 minutes when Cameron Jerome equalised but Stoke weren't to be denied three points as Liam Lawrence won the game five minutes from time.
After beating Arsenal at the week-end, Newcastle then went onto lose to Blackburn at St. James' Park. Morten Gamst Pedersen scored his second goal in as many games to put Blackburn ahead after just three minutes. Destined for an England call-up, Andy Carroll scored yet again for Newcastle to equalise two minutes after half-time. Jason Roberts won the game for Blackburn eight minutes from time but the main talking point overall was Joey Barton. Behind the referee's back he punched Pedersen in the abdomen but escaped without punishment. However the FA rightly looked into it and given him a minimum three match ban.
Liverpool looked to carry on their momentum from their win over Chelsea when Torres scored again after seven minutes to give them the lead away to Wigan. However they couldn't hold on to it and Hugo Rodallega earned Wigan a point seven minutes into the second half.
Michael Essien had an eventful game for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Fulham were the visitors yesterday and lost the game to a solitary Essien goal after half an hour. But Essien was sent off in second half injury time after a terrible two footed lunge. Arsenal didn't lose any more ground to Chelsea as they also managed to win away to Wolves. Chamakh scored the quickest goal of the season after just thirty seconds before winning the game for Arsenal in second half injury time.
Everton and Bolton was another game with a dull first half but all the action took place in the second half. Ivan Klasnic opened the scoring for Bolton with eleven minutes to play, it got worse for Everton when Fellaini was shown a straight red card four minutes from time. However the ten-men battled back and got an injury time equaliser courtesy of Jermaine Beckford.
The game of the night failed to live up to expectation at The City of Manchester Stadium. It was supposed the biggest derby for a long time in terms of league positions, but neither team played positively enough to threaten as United managed to keep their unbeaten streak with this 0-0 bore draw.
Two penalties were awarded in the game between West Ham and West Brom at Upton Park. The first of which was given to West Brom which Peter Odemwingie converted after 38 minutes. Scott Parker equalised for the Hammers with a screamer two minutes from half time. West Ham were then awarded a penalty five minutes into the second half which was also converted, this time from Frederic Piquionne. West Brom managed to earn a point when Pablo Ibanez equalised after 71 minutes.
The final game took place at Villa Park as Villa hosted Blackpool. Ian Holloway was under threat after making ten changes to his side from the weekend, he did nearly manage to silence the critics before losing in the final minute of normal time and now threatens to quit if the FA charge him. Villa took the lead two minutes before the half hour with a goal from Stewart Downing however it was cancelled out just before half time by former Villa striker Marlon Harewood. Villa then re-took the lead on the hour mark thanks to Nathan Delfouneso but it was again cancelled out, this time via a deflected DJ Campbell goal three minutes from time. Blackpool thought they had earned a point until James Collins got that last minute winner for Houllier's side.

Bad News For The Big Boys
Super Sunday threw up another three games in the Barclay's Premier League, due to Europa and Champions League commitments. The first to kick-off was at one o'clock at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal hosted Newcastle. With Manchester United winning yesterday, Arsenal also needed to win to not lose any ground on second place. But a solitary goal from Andy Carroll just before half-time was enough to see Arsenal lose. Laurent Koscielny also saw red in second half injury time to add more bad news for Arsene Wenger.
The non-televised three o'clock kick-off was at the Hawthornes between West Brom and Manchester City. It turned out to be a interesting match for Mario Balotelli who won the game for City and then got sent off. Balotelli put City ahead after twenty minutes before then doubling the score just six minutes later. He then managed to pick up a second yellow card and City were then down to ten men after 63 minutes. West Brom's poor discipline struck again as Yousuff Mulumbu also picked up two yellow cards to be sent off with eight minutes remaining.
The four o'clock kick-off saw Liverpool entertain Chelsea in the match of the weekend. Liverpool's revival continued when Torres' rejuvenation looked to have started when he gave Liverpool the lead after eleven. Torres then added a second just before half-time with a classic solo effort. This means Chelsea are now just two points ahead of Manchester United, who face the Manchester Derby on Wednesday.
