Top of the table!

Top of the table!

If someone had told me that we were about to get 6 points from the games against Arsenal and Leeds I would had told him that he was crazy! We still did it! Now we are at the very top of the table although Liverpool still has two games to play. I do not believe that we have the quality to deserve the title, but we have been performing extremely well and I am really glad that our hard work finally paid off!

As far as the game against Leeds is concerned I have to congratulate all the lads for their efforts to come back when we were two goals down. The last minute goal was the icing of a very delicious cake! Unfortunately I had to come off the challenge with Viduka was a very nasty one and my knee was injured. I was very lucky as the injury was two centimetres away from the place I had the injury last year. However I got a very deep out of it and I did not believe it when the referee did not show him the red card. Before the injury challenge I had another dangerous challenge with him. We both jumped for the ball but he hit me with his elbow on the face and I was afraid that something had gone wrong with my nose. Tomorrow I will have to have in depth checks to find out what exactly the damage is. I hope I will be back soon as possible I was filling very well lately.
