Chelsea 4pts Clear

Manchester United slipped up at Goodison Park with a shocking performance and lost 3- to an Everton side bang in form. This opened the door for Chelsea to extend their lead at the top of the league. They did, Chelsea crushed Wolves with ease and Drogba netted twice as Chelsea moved 4 points clear of United. Arsenal also capitalised by beating Sunderland and closed the gap to only 2 points behind the champions. I still believe this season title race will go all the way to the last day of the season. My money is still on Manchester United. Spurs sit in the last Champions League spot after their 3-0 victory at Win. It wasn’t quite as good as the 9-1 win earlier in the season but Tottenham took full advantage of a dull 0-0 between Man City and Liverpool earlier in the day. Liverpool look poor and will be very lucky if they get a top 6 finish.

Aston Villa leaped past the reds after their 5-2 win over Burnley, they did go 1-0 down in the game. All five of the Villa goals did come from English players, (Downing, Heskey and Agbonlahor) which will help their own personal aims to get on the plane to the World Cup. The bottom 7 teams in the Premier League all lost this weekend so the bottom 3 stays the same, Bolton, Burnley and Portsmouth.

In the Championship Newcastle look good for automatic promotion. They now sit 5 points clear of Forest in second. However the play off is anyone’s guess. Cardiff seem to have gone off the boil, West Brom lost at Bristol, Leicester drew at Plymouth. This is a league where anybody can beat anybody on their day. If you go on a good run you will fly up the table, if you have a bad run you will be in the relegation mix up.

League One Norwich’s excellent home form came to a halt as Southampton took all 3pts back south. Leeds seem to be trying their very best to mess up their successful start to the season. A 1-1 draw at home over Brighton leaves them 3 points behind the leaders, but they do have a game in hand. I would watch out for Colchester United and Swindon to push along with Charlton to get into that top two. Rochdale look set for automatic promotion from League 2. Bury and Bournemouth sit in the top three for now but League 2 is very tight and its way to early to call.

Where has as it all gone wrong for Chelsea?

After Chelsea’s defeat in Germany to Bayer Leverkusen manager Andre Villas-Boas is a man under serious pressure no matter what he thinks. As Chelsea sank to their third defeat from their last five games I look into where has it gone wrong? Well Chelsea was on a run of six unbeaten going in to their game at Loftus Road towards the end of October. A game where Chelsea thought they would walk all over their London rivals. This didn’t happen that day in West London Chelsea lost the game and lost the plot. The repercussions of that match have still left an effect. QPR won 1-0, but the game will also be remembered for John Terry’s racist slur, Chelsea’s ill-disciplined team (7 yellows and 2 reds). Plus AVB was fined £12,000 after the game for comments made about the referee. Since that match Chelsea have only beaten Blackburn Rovers & Everton on penalties. Their defence looks weak, Terry is getting exposed and David Luiz is not the best partner. Centre of midfield is a problem, Lampard ...

Premier League 2015/16 Preview

Arsenal The Gunners are now running out of excuses to mount a serious title challenge. They have money, they have spent it, they have brought in one of the best keepers in the Premier League (Cech) so now can Arsenal finally go the distance and challenge again? We have seen them start slow then once the pressure is off end the season strong. Or they start fast then come to February time and crumble. What will we get this year? I will say Arsenal will do a lot better this year and get a lot closer to the number one spot points wise. An impressive pre season topped with Community Shield success their looking good, however I have them finishing 3rd this year. Key Man: Alexis Sanchez after what was an impressive first season in English football scoring 16 goals, Sanchez spent his summer guiding Chile to their first Copa America. I expect more of the same and for him to break the 20 goals barrier.   Aston Villa They survived last year off the back of Benteke goals, Delph and Grealish...

Chelsea, Hazard, BallBoy, Out of control

Chelsea once again made the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week. Eden  Hazard was the latest player to drag the clubs name through the dirt. The Belgium star kicked a ballboy who refused to return the ball  quickly back to the player in the Capital One Cup semi final match. Now we know this ballboy was in fact 17 years-old and what he is doing as a ballboy is a different story. They are supposed to retrieve the ball as fast as possible to the players. This one let it slide by him and took his time, fell on it and that’s when the incident occurred. After a bit of shoving Hazard kick the ballboy and ball from under him and ran off to re-start the match. It doesn’t matter what he wrote on Twitter about time wasting beforehand it was an empty tweet from a teen. The real matter is that a professional footballer, a role model an adult kicked a person on national TV. If this happened on the street he would have been arrested simple as that. Some peo...
