Brian: I think someone somewhere played a nasty prank by deciding to remind us that this is Thanksgiving week. I mean, how do you explain the presence of so many clueless turkeys running around on Saturday night?

Ronaldo, Rooney. Keane, Kuyt. Almunia, Clichy... you name it, they were there. Stuffed on fat salaries but not good enough - except to be roasted.

Gary: Too many of them, in fact. But if I bump into Arsene Wenger, I would give him a big hug. You know, the kind of brotherly hug.

Man, that guy is going through hell. He just saw his team go kaput against Manchester City.

Look, I expected Man City to give them a hard time. But beat them 3-0? That was beyond my wildest imagination.

Eric: That shows that these superstars are human after all. It was evident that the midweek internationals had some effect on their performances and the clubs were the ones that suffered.

For Arsenal and Manchester United, this was a great opportunity to close the gap but they failed to do so as well.

Brian: Still on Thanksgiving, never have I seen so many 'turkey eggs', as in zeroes - especially involving teams from The Big Four.

More like The Big Flops. Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United. Zeroes!

Gary: Between the four of them, there wasn't a single goal scored. What are the odds of that happening on the same weekend? I bet all Liverpool and Chelsea fans must be breathing easier now, after Man United's failure to win against Aston Villa. I know I'm not complaining.

Eric: In all my years of following the Premiership, I can't recall the last time the Big Four all failed to score in the same weekend. Anyone out there has any idea of such a weird weekend?

It's really quite unbelievable and that is probably why I received several text messages from friends complaining about their big losses after punting on the favourites on Saturday night.

Brian: That's it for Thanksgiving. I'm just thankful the weekend's over.

On a more positive note, we saw that guy Dean Windass help provide Hull with the equaliser against Portsmouth.

Actually, for a moment there, he claimed it as his own. Pity it wasn't, as replays showed it was an own goal - helped along the way by one of the oldest guys in the Premiership.

Had it been a Windass goal, and coming as it did on the eve of Grandparents' Day, it would have been a shot in the arm for the golden oldies. Go for it, old man!

Gary: Is there such a thing as Grandparents' Day? Well, I guess you should know. So, for a while I'm going to forget about the football and wish all grandparents in the world good health.

And if the grandparent is a punter, then good luck, too.

Eric: I've got a gut feeling that Windass's goal will come soon. In fact, I can see him playing the same role Teddy Sheringham did at West Ham United when he was 40 years old - saving the club from relegation with some cameo role.

Brian: Finally, and I ask this of Gary every week. How? Can or not? After Saturday's show, how? Can Liverpool still lift the title?

Gary: I am getting a little worried, seeing the lethargy on Saturday. Albert Riera looked a little off the pace, Robbie Keane looked better off running a marathon than kick a ball, and Lucas Leiva reminded me why I should never give up hope of becoming a Premiership footballer.

Then again, I see the points tally and reassure myself that it is not as bad as it seems. You can't win all the time. Just ask the rest of the Big Four.
