Season Preview 2009/10 Part 1

Arsenal

How many years has it been since the Gooners last saw winners medals? In Wenger we trust is the motto, but for how long. They have the stadium, they play the wonderful football, and they also have some of the best up coming talent n the country. (Ramsey, Walcott and Wilshere too name but a few) Its time for Arsenal to finally deliver.

Key Man - Robin van Persie If fully fit for the whole campaign he could easily reach 20 goals and lead Arsenal to where they want to be.

Aston Villa
Villa nearly broke in to the top four last season. But their small squad couldn’t keep up. With the lose of Barry things will be harder. However with a heap of British talent, Villa can go further.

Key Man - Ashley Young Without a doubt one of the most promising players in England. And with it being a World Cup season Young could shine.

Birmingham City
Newly promoted, spending cash, City are looking to stay in the top flight. It will be hard for the Blues, and their home form will tell a lot to whether their going to be in a relegation scrap all season.

Key Man - Kevin Phillips Experienced Pro. Goal scorer. Vital to the Blues.

Bolton
Wanderers have cemented their play in the Premiership for a while now. Now Megson looks to push them forward. He still has to win over some fans, but the best way to do this is bring success to a passionate club.

Key Man - Jussi Jaaskelainen One of the best keepers in the Premiership. He will as always be vital to their survival.

Is it time for women officials in top flight football?

Can they run they line? Can the referee a top flight game? Are they any better or worse than male referees? Or should they stick with the female version of the game? Richard Keys & Andy Gray have once again brought this issue in to football. Here are a few for’s and against women officials. The Pro’s Women have become part of modern day football. That is a fact. At all levels they plan the game and in some cases they run the show, for example Karen Brady. They now attend more games than they use to. You see them in the crowds, mainly in the home end sitting down not signing but they’re still there. There’s no reason to say they don’t know the rules of the game, especially the offside rule as its now become very, very vague to what it actually is! As long as their adequate and have the ability to do the job properly and fairly surely that’s all that matters. Could this be the key that brings a bit more respect in to the game of football? The Con’s Can the female officials take the a

QPR - Who is to blame

It looks like QPR will be playing Championship football next season after a disappointing & gutting draw against Wigan on Sunday. After going down to 10 men when Bobby Zamora foolishly got himself sent off, Rangers took the lead with a goal by Lioc Remy who has been nothing more then sensational for QPR. However they let themselves down once again by giving away a free kick in the dieing seconds where Shaun Maloney curled it in to the top corner. As the silence fell at Loftus Road realisation was for the fans they knew there's no way they can crawl there way back and survive from this.   So who is to blame for the carnage of a season QPR have had:   1. Mark Hughes - This is the man who last season said 'We will never be in this position again with me in charge' Well he was right, in fact it was a even worse position.  Hughes wasted big money on players who simply didn't care & were just their for a final pay day. Bosingwa, Park, Granero, Zamora, Johnson to

As the dust settles and all the teams have played their first games at this year’s World Cup I look back at the early talking points of the tournament. England’s performance was not the best but it also wasn’t the worst. Rob Greens howler will live long in the memory of English football now. He will get hounded at every away ground next season just like James, Carson and Robinson have gone through. I think England will learn a lot from the USA game, and I truly think that Joe Cole has to be on the pitch. I would play him behind Rooney which means dropping Heskey even though he did play well on Saturday. My team on Friday would be, Green (One more chance to save his England career), Johnson, Terry, Dawson, A. Cole, Barry, Lennon, Lampard, Gerrard, J. Cole and Rooney. The most impressive team so far have been Germany. They walked all over Australia and with a very young side they could go a long way. Spain suffered the first World Cup shock when Switzerland beat them 1-0. Spain were the
