STREET FIGHTER ZERO REVIEW

Developer: Capcom

Platforms: Arcade, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Game Boy Color, Windows, PSN
Genres and Modes: Single player or Multiplayer Fighting

 

Back again with my video game reviews. This time around, I'm STILL continuing my reviews on the Street Fighter series; because... I am a fan of the games and there's a bunch of them that differ from one another that makes them unique to play and experience. On top of that, the series as a whole has a huge amount of following that is still present even today, though most of the following centers around SF2 rather than the other games. That alone makes me kind of dislike SF2, due to getting milked to death.

But Capcom, instead of continuing the trend of milking out the game, they decided that it was a time for a sequel.

In 1995, using the same motherboard (the CPS2), they sought out to use its full potential and make a SF game like never before. The first signs of this change was the game's look. It was looking very cartoonish, or to be more accurate, it looked like an anime. Then there was the cast. The cast saw the return of some beloved characters, and also saw a welcome of new ones. 

With an all new start for this new game, they really took the meaning of Zero quite literally...

Ken and Ryu look a bit different. A bit, younger, to be exact.

OKAY! This shit IS MEGA HYPE!!!

Plot

It has a plot, okay? It's a fighting video game with all sorts of characters fighting and shit!

The game's plot is a bridge between the stories of SF1 and SF2. More precisely, it takes place after the events of SF1 and establishes some serious plots regarding SF2. This plot stays pretty much the same for the future updates of the game, so I won't be mention it in the next chapters. Characters however, will be mentioned. Oh, and before I forget it, THIS IS NOT A WORLD WARRIOR TOURNAMNET!!! It's just characters fighting others. Each for their own reason to fight.

Shadaloo plays a big role in the Alpha games. M.Bison is not yet at his full power, and his main goal is to actually find out the person who defeated his henchman, Sagat, in the First Tournament, and use their power to make Bison powerful as fuck. His target: Ryu.

Other than Ryu, Bison, Ken, Sagat, and Chun - Li, game introduces 6 newcomers (and a secret 7th character):

- Adon: A Muay Thai fighter and former disciple of Sagat. His reasons for existing in the story is to fight his former mentor for the crown of "King of Muay Thai". He's also 1 of 2 characters that appear from the original Street Fighter.

- Birdie: An English small time criminal who tries to find M.Bison and ask him to join Shadaloo. He's the second character to return from the first game.

- Guy: A master of the Bushinryu ninjutsu martial arts. He is after M.Bison. A fighter of justice who stands up against evil, no matter how dangerous it may be. He's a character that comes from another Capcom game, Final Fight.

- Sodom: A dude who looks like a weird samurai and is obsessed with anything Japan related. Originally as a baddie boss from Capcom's Final Fight, his story in SFA is just him wanting to recreate the spirit of the old gang (Mad Gear) with new members.

 - Rose: Una donna bellissima from Genoa, who's occupation is a fortune teller. She is sensing great evil in Bison, and thus, forces her to go out, find him, and defeat him.

- Charlie Nash: Guile's superior officer who taught the former everything he knew. He's in cooperation with Interpol (mainly with agent Chun-Li) to track down and kill Bison.

- Dan Hibiki (read about him in Street Fighter Alpha 2)

13 characters for people to choose and play. Amazing stuff!

Rose does not bow to The King!

Gameplay

Ah yes, the second important aspect of a game. Or the first if you're a competitive player.

The gameplay of Alpha is similar to that of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, with lots of special moves, combo mixing, super combos and such.

However, that has been expanded here. All characters can initiate a continuous combo by chaining certain normal attacks to deal moderate damage, or continue said chain into special moves, and continue the damage from that point.

Super combos have been reworked, and now everyone has not just 1, BUT 3 SUPERS to do in a fight. Each super has a unique input and advantage. The super meter also has been reworked. It has a 3 stage meter fill. The bigger the level, the bigger and meaner the super it becomes. 

Another addition to the gameplay is Aerial Blocking. Just press back when you're attacked mid air.

And before I forget, an actual new gameplay mechanic is introduced here: Alpha Counter. If you are blocking, and have at least one filled bar of the super combo meter, you can escape your opponent's attacks with a counter.

This Sodom dude may look scary, but appearances can be deceiving...

STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 2

Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Series: Street Fighter
Release date: February 27, 1996
Platforms: Arcade, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Windows
Genres and Modes: Single player or Multiplayer Fighting

Jesus Christ, this cover art for the game. It just screams "Street Fighter"...

I won't beat it around the bush with this review and onwards when it comes with Street Fighter. Expect the main points to be presented during the vanilla/original version of the game, with tweaks mentioned in the following updates.

As for Street Fighter Alpha 2, it's sort of the same thing. An update to the original game with some tweaks and adding a few new characters. Two return from Street Fighter 2, those being Dhalsim and Zangief. But also adds 5 new fighters:
- Sakura Kasugano: A Japanese high school girl who became a fan of Ryu after watching him during the First Tournament. She imitates his style, but her moves don't come out as powerful or accurate as her idol. She nevertheless is a cheerful outgoing and polite girl who can also kick your ass with ease.

- Gen: Chinese Kung-Fu master and retired assassin who was known back in the day in the criminal underworld. He seeks to find a worthy opponent for a fight to the death. A returning character from the first game (and the last one canonically).

- Rolento Schugerg:  A mercenary who was also part of the hoodlum gang Mad Gear, alongside Sodom. He just wants to create a private worldwide army. That's all. Mercenaries are fucking weird sometimes...

One hell of an intro for one hell of a game...

During my Alpha 1 part, I mentioned that the game had 13 characters, and yet, I only described 6 of them with the last one saying to check out this portion of my review?

Well that's because AKUMA & DAN HIBIKI were secret selectable characters in Alpha 1. But here, they can be selected normally. Akuma is his usual overpowered self, being able to rip you a new one without breaking a sweat. Dan Hibiki on the other hand, is a joke character. A practitioner of the Saikyo Arts, he's goofy, silly and loves to taunt more than anything else. And he also has a beef with Sagat. Because The Muay Thai King killed his father in a fight a long time ago. So yeah. There's that too...

Sometimes, jokes cannot make your day. Even Guy knows this...

For the gameplay of Alpha 2, it's a tweak of the former. However, one new key innovation was introduced that many SF players, old and new alike agree is phenomenal. That new thing was CUSTOM COMBO SYSTEM.

What is a Custom Combo System? It's a special super combo where you do your own chain of combos. Your character automatically walks towards the opponent. All you have to do is mash buttons and do special move inputs to create your very own Custom Super Combo.

Stunning 90s action at its finest...

In terms of story, it's like SF2. It completely discards the story of the previous one and remakes them to make more sense. So basically, Alpha 2 is actually the gap that was missing between SF1 and SF2 and ties the story together.

AND YET, AFTER ALL OF THIS, THERE WAS ANOTHER UPDATE!!!

STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3

Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Series: Street Fighter
Release date: June 29, 1998
Platforms: Arcade, Dreamcast, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Game Boy Advance, PSP
Genres and Modes: Single player or Multiplayer Fighting

Hype levels: OFF THE CHARTS!!!

I don't think anyone asked for this. But hey, who cares! MORE STREEET FIGHTER? YES PLEASE!!!

The final update of the Alpha line of games. In 1998, after 2 years of no updates for Alpha 2, Alpha 3 came out and introduced a shit ton of new characters, a fuck ton of new mechanics, and... new endings that still don't change the story of Alpha's plot. 

I am not going to name all the new characters this time around. It's just too much. All I'll say is, fan favourites of SF2 return. Those being: Blanka, E.Honda, Vega and Cammy.

Only new face I might briefly mention is Cody Travers. Another character from Final Fight and a friend of Guy. He became a prisoner due to his non stop fighting after the events of said game.

New vs Old. Both rich and narcissistic. But damn they're cool...

Gameplay-wise, it's a drastic overhaul of the previous one. The game introduces a new way of dealing with the opposition. The -ISMs.
Now I have no idea how to describe the ISM system of Alpha 3, but the best way I can is as follows:
I. X-ISM - An ISM that focuses on play style akin of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Players receive the abilities of those games. No air blocking, no counters, no super meter with different levels. You deal a lot of damage however.

II. A/Z-ISM - The standard ISM. You gain access to Alpha's features.

II. V-ISM - The advanced ISM. Takes away the ability to input super combos, but adds the ability to do custom combos. Does the least amount of damage, but grants new tools for the players to discover and keep on juggling the opposition without showing mercy.

Yo! The fuck are these two doing?

A new addition to this is the Guard Meter. Located bellow the health bar of the player, it shows how much the player has left before their block is penetrated. In other words: blocking too much = you block will get crushed and you end up exposed.

STREET FIGHTER ALPHA! This is where it's at. Right?

Screenshots

Closing remarks

The Street Fighter Alpha were a HUGE step forward for the franchise. While not as big as its predecessor, the games were a hit. With gameplay that has had minor changes from II with effects that make it different from the rest, they are an all time classic. Console ports are actually more responsible for the game's fame than the arcade versions. However, I focus on the original versions (arcades), so I'm not touching the ports.

The games were released during a time when arcades were in a decline and home console gaming was in a rise. So the home console ports were the major source for your average mid 90s fighting game action.

Street Fighter Alpha is a trilogy beloved by many and a true classic.

Speaking of the characters, it's rather interesting. A  slight risk was used by introducing new faces to the games. These new faces, however, stroke a homerun and were popular since launch.

Imagine a Street Fighter game with a New Generation of characters...

TRIVIA

- The game's actual name is Zero, rather than Alpha. The Capcom US division changed the name to Alpha. This was because when they received the news of the game's original title, they were worried that it might repel players to play the game. So Alpha was chosen, as to represent a new beginning/a prequel.

- In Japan and South America, it's Zero. Rest of the world is Alpha.

- Alpha 3 held the record for most characters in a Street Fighter game for a long time. With more than 30 characters in total (combined with console ports).

- Street Fighter Alpha 2 is the only game in the series that was ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It's regarded as a marvel, since the console was known for not being able to run arcade games at all. It's a mess in terms of gameplay though.

- Guy, Cody, Sodom and Rolento all come from Final Fight, a beat 'em up video game series by Capcom. Both Street Fighter and Final Fight are set in the same universe. Some characters and stages from the latter are featured in Alpha as part of the background...

- This is my 69th post on the blog. Nice.

PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHWEEK 34 REPORT

 

Arsenal vs Manchester United

FUCK! FUCK! SHIT!!!  FUCK! SHIT! SHIT!!!

As if losing to Liverpool wasn't bad enough, our bad luck continued against North London's "Gunners".

I am not even gonna go into too much detail about the game. Arsenal had the defense and the attack, and Manchester United had the fuck all and the shit goat. 

Arsenal violated United's privates in both halves, but Xhaka ejaculated a fine, big one and Arsenal came at the end with a 3-1 win.

To add up on this match, at the time of writing this, we drew against Chelsea. 1-1. A rather shit game that one and this one against Arsenal. Nothing much to add...

Arsenal fans having an orgasm whilst watching their team forcing themselves on mine...

Liverpool vs Everton

Jurgen Klopp'd "The Toffees" at The Kop

Merseyside Derby. A classy match between another teams that bear the colors of Red and Blue. And just like the Manchester teams, they aren't that far off in their city.

However, their success is.

Klopp had an enjoyable time beating the ever loving shit out of Everton and Premier League legend, Frank Lampard. 

Everton, a team that might end up in The Championship, couldn't do anything against their tyrannical Red opponents. Liverpool on the other hand, was testing the waters in the first half. To see what tactic can be used to destroy their victim.

Second half began and Robertson and Origi ended the game. A 2-0 win for Liverpool, and a nice training session for their Champions League game against Villarreal (which they won).

Frankie's time at Everton might be at an end. Will he remain as their manager? Or will he get sacked in the morning?

AND CAN LIVERPOOL STOP BEING GOOD FOR 5 MINUTES?!?!?!?

Everton received some spanking and Liverpool became- Actually, it was never Blue...

Brighton vs Southampton 

Didn't see this one coming, did you?

 As I was looking which games I should pick, I got annoyed with some where the big teames played, and the rest were either 0-0 or 1-0. So I went with this one. A good game I have chosen.

Both Brighton and Southampton are in the bottom half of the league, and they are very close with their positions. Brighton is 11th, and Southampton is 13th.

Same can be said for their performance this season. Mediocre. At least it's better than Everton's and United's.

Danny smashed one in the 2nd minute of the game, followed by an own goal in the 44th minute by Southampton's Mohammed Salisu. Prowse scored 2 goals to equalize the result.

On top of the goals, Brighton were the more dominant team, with their pressure game plan being a good success, albeit they fell into quite obvious offside traps.

Nevertheless, a decent game that brought with it some charm that can only be found in English football...

My boys at Sport Klub didn't have any highlights, so I had to take the ones from the official Youtube channel of Brighton. Meaning you'll have to click on the " Watch on Youtube" thingy to see them...

Final words about this matchweek:

None. But expect a big post from me during the weekend. 

Until next time

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI FINALS FIRST LEG

 

THE SEMIS ARE HERE!

4 teams duke it off against one another, in 4 games that are 1 week away from each other, but only 2 can make it to the promised land.

Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Villareal are in front of the gates of the divine. City vs Real, and Liverpool vs Villarreal. Who's gonna take the 1st leg? Let's see what happened now, shall we?

Manchester City vs Real Madrid

HOLY SHITBALLS!!! SEMIS START OFF WITH A BANG!!!

THE FIRST GOD DAMN GAME OF THE SEMIS, AND IT WAS A BLAST!!!

City welcomed Madrid with open arms. City, who have been on a wild run as of the last few games, and have a worthy adversary to help them grow strong (Liverpool), were more than ready to face "Los Blancos" in a duel that transcends the concept of life and death.

Real Madrid on the other hand, have been slaying LaLiga Santander. Winning games left and right, striking fear into the league itself. Outside of Spain, they have been all over the place in the Champions League. Wins, losses, draws. They had it all.

Both sides have good players, such as: De Bruyne, Sane, Jesus for City; Kroos, Modric, Benzema for Madrid.

First half saw goals from De Bruyne, Jesus and Benzema (cracker volley goal from him). Second half saw more. Participants were: Foden, Vinicius Junior, Silva and Benzema again.

The teams were going out all out attack. Both halves. And the result shows this.

Next week is the big one for these guys. City have the advantage, but will they make it to the final? Or will Real Madrid pull off a miracle and make a comeback?

Insane game! Props go to both sides...

Liverpool vs Villareal

A nice end for a nice game...

The second game of the first leg took place in Liverpool. Villarreal took on England's current giants with everything they had.

Liverpool have been on a wild run, just like Manchester City. Winning games both at home and away. And with a line up that is strong due to a good captain, but also a great manager, it's no wonder how they do things.

Villarreal on the other hand are a mixed bag. Whilst in Europe they have been proving to be good, back home, things aren't looking great. 7th place in LaLiga, but semis in the Champions League. Bizarre team.

The game: - First half was dominated by Liverpool. Chances for them to score a fuck ton of goals were HIGH. Sadly, nothing happened.

                  - Second half saw an unlucky Estupinan score an own goal in the 53rd minute, only to be followed by a wonderful through ball from Salah to Mane to make the score 2-0.

Liverpool dominated the game, so not much going on about that. Villarreal will need a miracle if they want to win the 2nd leg and reach the final...

"The Yellow Submarine" will need some motivation if they want to at least make a mark in the semis...

  

What?
That's it! Expect a matchweek report tomorrow.

Until tomorrow

PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHWEEK 33 REPORT

 

Tottenham vs Brighton

North London now belongs to "The Seagulls"...

Spurs and Brighton had a rather eventful game between each other.

A relatively good Spurs side, which is fighting to remain in the top 4 and see Top Tier European football next season, faced off against a good Brighton side. Meaning both sides were good. 10/10 writing from me on this part.

Nothing much on the match itself, as Brighton held up surprisingly well against a team that is better than them. 10th placed Brighton brought the iron defense and guarded their goal 'till their last breath until the last minutes of the game.

Once an opportunity opened, they took it. Leandro Trossard found himself in the right place and the right time to score the winner for his side and secure the 3 points.

Spurs were left in shock, fans were left in shock, and Trossard went back home to celebrate those sweet and well earned points with his flock.

Enjoy your win, boys! You've earned it...

Liverpool vs Manchester United

No...

The rivalry between these two giant English clubs is as old as time itself. North England has perhaps the best clubs in the whole country. And the best rivalries too. 

BUT FUCK THAT SHIT! LOOK AT THIS!

4-0! We got destroyed by our arch-nemesis in a disgusting game. Disgusting in this case has 2 meanings: Good and Bad. Take a wild guess who's had the good game, and who's had the bad.

Diaz in the 5th minute, Salah in the 22nd, Mane in the 68th and again Salah, only this time in the 85th.

With this win, Liverpool have an aggregate of 9-0 in total. First win was against us back home last year, where they thrashed us 0-5. On top of that, chances of finishing the season with the hopes of European football are practically gone.

I am ashamed to be a fan of this football club. L's after L's after BLOODY L's.

However, I want to sort of distance myself from roasting the team and just dedicate a portion of this report to support (kind of) Cristiano Ronaldo during his time with grief. Before the game, he announced on social media that hi newborn sadly passed away and that he and his family are going through some difficult times. I'm not the only one that is showing some support, as both United and Liverpool fans alike gathered together to support him as well. 
You are not walking alone, dude!

These twats... I bloody hate them...

Chelsea vs Arsenal

Well this was a surprise...

Chelsea, a team that has been doing pretty decent this season, a team that has reached the FA Cup final after a good run, LOST TO FUCKING ARSENAL!!!

LONDON IS RED BOYS!!!

Exchange of goals happened during the first 25-50% of the first half of the game, as Chelsea replied to Arsenal's goals every other 2 minutes. Well, not exactly 2 minutes, but the goals were pretty close to one another.

A goal from Nkeitah in the 13th minute was replied with one from Werner in the 17th minute. Rowe's 27th minute goal was reality checked by Azpilicueta in the 32nd minute.

This lasted until the 57th minute, when Nkeitah scored again to make the score 2-3. And then Saka with a penalty in the 92nd minute to end it all with a 2-4 win for "The Gunners".

Now when I think about it, Chelsea has been a shit show over the last couple of games with their performance. For shame...

"War crimes are fun" - Arsenal FC

Standings

Two things to say before I rest my hands and mind:

1. Publishing this during the start of the new matchweek is a bit strange, but I have other things that I am preparing right now, so squashing 2 matchweeks in 1 is a bit too much for me right now.

2. Didn't mention the game in my report, but a horrible injury happened during the game between West ham and Burnley. Burnley's Ashley Westwood was horribly injured during a collision with West Ham's Nikola Vlasic. The whole incident was an accident and not intentional. Good news is that the kid has had a successful surgery and is on his way on recovering.

With that out of the way, I'm off to rest and fucking cuss at my team for being shit during our current game.

ABSOLUTION

 

The warmth kept us awake,

Its rays nurturing us,

and blessing us with life.

Our family, small in quantity,

but with huge quality of personality,

thanked it for everything.

But before we knew it,

the cold came,

inviting us to sleep.

Before I knew it,

my family, small in quantity,

but having huge quality of personality,
was starting to sleep.

Was I unjust?
Was I wrong?
Sinner, was I?
Punished, was I?

I hear their motionless bodies
Deep within the slumber of theirs
Calling out to me.
Rescue them, I must!
Save them, I shall!
I will become their hero!

Rescue them based on what I am
I shall not.
Using every means necessary
I will.
Even if it defies the nature
of which I was built for.

The sun will grant us our life back.

And atone me, for defying my role.

For my love for my family
is beyond the laws of my own nature

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER FINALS 2ND LEG REPORT

 

ENGLISH VS SPANIARDS IN THE SEMIS!!!!

Bayern vs Villareal

David makes it to the semis, whereas Goliath heads back home...

THE BIGGEST SHOCK OF THE SEASON!!!

The Bavarian side was unable to beat the Spanish side during the second leg of the quarter finals, despite playing like beasts and putting everything on the line.

Bayern took the lead in the second half, with a Lewandowski goal in the 52nd minute. The game could've continued towards extra time if the score remained 1-0.

But Villareal were the anime protagonists of the match, so with their belief in friendship and shit, Chukwueze in the 88th minute sealed the fate of both teams.

His team advanced, whereas the opponents got sent back to the shadow real, a.k.a Germany...

The first Spanish side to advance to the semis, ladies and gentlemen...

Real Madrid vs Chelsea

So close, yet so far away...

Real Madrid had a hard time against Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu, as they managed to lose the game, but narrowly qualifying for the semi-finals.

They struggled since the first half to score a goal that could take them to the next stage, as Chelsea kept scoring goals like an aircraft missile launcher.

Up until the 75th minute, Chelsea kept the lead with a score of 3-0. Mount, Rudiger and Werner all contributed to the goals.

But then Real Madrid, like Villareal, believed in anime logic and scored goals to lose and then advance into the next round.

Talk about losing to a bunch of closet perverts...

Real Madrid is like a dude who performs the worst in a video game and then says"GG EZ" after his team wins the whole match is over... 

Liverpool vs Benfica

BOMBS AWAY, BITCHES!!!

Liverpool and Benfica just decided to go with Plan B and nuke each other!

Liverpool first struck, then Benfica. Then Liverpool twice, and then Benfica twice.

Casualties were in the millions, as goals were scored and the fans of either side felt certain emotions. As tensions grew, so did the number of goals.

In the end, Liverpool ended up being the victor, as their infantry had the better overall experience and tactical nukes in their disposal.

Oh and they were the first English side to qualify for the next round...

Benfica got KLOPPered real good...

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City

Yawn...

The game was boring as shit. 

City got their asses kicked quite hard by Atletico. And by this I mean Atletico players just kicked and punched the shit out of "The Citizens".

But that wasn't enough to secure a spot for them in the semis, which means City ended up being the second English team to advance...

Despite some chances, the game was honestly boring...

And with this, I wrap up my report for the Champions League. What will happen next, I don't know. Maybe a poem or something will pop up to change the pace of my writings...

Until next time

PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHWEEK 31 & 32 REPORT

These last 2 matchweeks were so close to one another that doing a report on both seems like the best solution. On top of that, all 20 teams played their matches without cancelations (with the exception of Everton). This means that I’ll just give a brief report on the teams’ performance during these 2 matchweeks, so no match reports unfortunately. Highlights of some of the games will be posted at the end, so don’t worry about that.

Without further ado, let’s- WAIT!!!

The listing will go from bottom to top. Meaning we start off with:

 

Norwich, Watford & Burnley

From the bottom 3, the worst of the bunch (and also the best surprisingly) is Norwich, with their last 2 games ending up being okay. A draw against Brighton, and a win against Burnley, they still have no chance of escaping the bottom. Watford lost twice. First against Liverpool; then against Leeds United. And Burnley won against Everton and lost against Norwich.

Talk about shit luck for Burnley…

 

 

Everton

“The Toffees” are in the pickle. 17^th in the standings, bad performance not just in their last 2 games, but the whole season, finds the blue side of Liverpool on the verge of relegation.

A loss against Burnley (3-2) and a FUCKING WIN AGAINST FUCKING MANCHESTER UNITED, sees them stand 4 points above 18^th placed Burnley. To say that we helped them avoid a serious defeat is an understatement…

 

 

Leeds United

Leeds are also in danger from being relegated, but can make a comeback and avoid the bottom 5 or bottom 6, should they do well in their next matches, The last 2 games were pretty decent. A draw and a win saw them boosting away from 17^th placed Everton, and catching up with the teams above them.

A 1-1 draw versus Southampton and a 3-0 win against Watford saw them collect a total of 4 points, when added to their total, 33 points.

 

 

Newcastle United

Newcastle are in an n interesting spot. 15^th, 34 points in total, and 1 win can skyrocket them out of the bottom 6.

Got their ass kicked by Spurs in the 1^st game, and in the 2^nd, won with 1-0 against Wolverhampton. Overall, they are doing fine, but will they escape the bottom 6?

 

 

Southampton, Brentford & Aston Villa

These 3 boys will be put together because of their fair share of points. The teams share their 36 points with care and unconditional consistent love, UNLIKE THEIR GAMES!

The best team of the bunch is Brentford, with 2 impressive wins (one against Chelsea, the other against West Ham United). Southampton being the middle with the fixtures, but the worst of the bunch. A draw and a loss didn’t do them any good. Aston Villa is the best, but 2 losses is a HUGE threat for them.

They really slipped in these last 2 games, let me tell you…

 

 

Brighton & Crystal Palace

Yet another bunch where they are put together due to their share of points. Crystal is the leader of the bottom half of the “Prem”, and Brighton is not that far off form overtaking them.

Brighton’s venture in the last 2 matchweeks has been an eventful one. Their win against Arsenal is the better of the two, whereas the game against Norwich was a draw. For Palace, same story. A win against “The Gunners”. A 3-0 win in fact. Sadly, this was followed with a loss from Leicester, who…

 

 

Leicester

Are the team that are part of the top half of the league, and have been doing alright for themselves in the last few games. They have quite a few wins in the last few games, and their last 5 matches have ended up good.

A draw against Manchester United and a win against Palace sees them at the 9^th position of the league. They are way behind the 8^th team of the table, and reaching them will be a challenge.

 

 

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Literally the underdogs of the League. Playing amazing football, leaving positive notes after each game, and being 8^th in the League is awesome!

Even their last 2 games speak for themselves. A 1-0 loss isn’t that big of a deal, but that 2-1 win against Aston Villa is quite something.

Being a Wolverhampton fan must be a wonderful feeling. Keep it up Wolves! You are honestly fantastic!

 

 

Manchester United

FUCK THIS TEAM!!!

 

 

West Ham United

“The Irons” are yet another team that has been fantastic this season. Their record is either positive or a negative, or better put: LWLWL. Even with this pattern of wins and losses, they are 6^th and are kicking ass and chewing bubble gum.

Won against: Everton
Lost against: Brentford

Will they reach the top 5? Chances are VERY high that they’ll do…

 

 

Arsenal

Arsenal?

More like AR5ENAL! Am I rite?

Anyways, two losses, this team suffered. First from Crystal Palace, second from Brighton.

Actually fuck it, change the name to AR5ENALL…

 

 

Tottenham Hotspur

Their form as of right now is scary. They’re on their win to have a 5-match win streak, should they win their next game against Brighton.

A 5-1 win against Newcastle, followed with a 4-0 win against Villa sees Spurs sitting comfortable at 4^th for the time being. They are closing in on Chelsea, who are currently 3^rd, and with the same performance as the North Londoners.

 

 

Chelsea

Similar story like Spurs. Nothing much to write about.

Only memorable thing they have from these 2 matchweeks is their 6-0 win against Southampton…

 

 

Liverpool & Manchester City

These two… These fucking beasts… They are chasing one another for the title race. No one can stop them, no one can draw them. In fact, they are the definition of “Unstoppable object vs. Immovable Force”.

Matchweek 32 was ended with their clash. A 2-2 draw at Etihad Stadium. The battle was like that of the Chinese Dragon and the Chinese Tiger. Two opposing sides that are an equal match. One used sheer force, the other quick wits.

Their skill satisfied neither. Their fight continues…
