Total Annihilation

Week 3 from the EPL and week 1 from La Liga offered up some serious beat downs! Have a look at all the highlights below and then leave a comment as to which beat down you either enjoyed or loathed the most. Have fun. And if your an Arsenal fan, cover your eyes.

Manchester United humiliated Arsenal 8 - 2!! This smack down at Old Trafford prompted young Gooner Ryan Walsh to mysteriously lament, "I need a hair cut".

OK... so this is the only highlight that sucks. Because of copyright laws this is the best I could get from YouTube. It's a video from Fan Zone and its pretty awesome. if you havent seen FanZone it's a show that has a supporter from each club watching the game live and commenting on it. Enjoy



Manchester City crushed Spurs 5 - 1 with Edin Dzeko knocking in 4 goals!



Barcelona started their season off brilliantly by hammering fellow Champions League representatives Villarreal 5 - 0.



Real Madrid knocked in 6 against La Liga bottom feeders Real Zaragoza


Lastly, the Red side of Merseyside were thrilled with the display their boys put in over the weekend. One fluke goal after the 80th minute kept this game from being a clean sheet for Pepe Reina and co. Despite a little Bolton luck, this game was all Reds. Have a look



My personnel vote for beatdown of the week goes to Barca. No Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol or Pique in their side and they still ran riot. Coach Pep Guardiola rolled out a 3 - 4 - 3 formation and Barca never missed a beat. New boys Fabregas (sorry again Gunners) and Alexis Sanchez knocked in their first league goals. Villarreal fielded a stronger side then Arsenal put up against United.

Enjoy the highlights and let me know what you think!
