Premier League Quick Fire Update


I haven't wrote a blog in a while so here's my quick fire views on what's happening in the Premier League world. 


Arsenal find themselves top of the table, can they really win the league or will Arsenal blow up in sensational fashion like they tend to do/ I think they will find a way to mess up this great opportunity in winning the Premier League. 

Man City are scoring goals for fun its a joke, I can't see anyone beating them at home but I will stick with my original pick of Chelsea winning the title. Chelsea look like the Chelsea of old under Jose just grinding their way through teams.

I thought Liverpool would have fallen by now but the performances of Suarez has kept them in the top four. Sturridge has also been playing out of his skin. Sherwood seems to be getting the right tune out of Tottenham with Adebayor back in the fold. 

David Moyes is having a tough time getting slated left right and centre, he does need a boost or a signing or the injuries to stop. However the aim now is a top four finish which I feel is a must. I don't know if he will get it as they now need Everton, Liverpool or Spurs to fall fast. United could do with buying a centre midfielder in January to give them and him a boost. 


The drop zone is is very tight and this looks like it will go down to the wire. So at the minute it's looking bad for Cardiff and West Ham. Fulham are in serious trouble. Swansea have been surprisingly poor. Sunderland have some fight, Palace have more fight while Stoke may see that Mark Hughes is not really all that. Norwich seem to be in trouble then pull out a big win which gets them out of it for a week.

I will revise my top four and relegation picks after the transfer window closes.

Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool (2019)

On to the 2019 Champions League Final now as Liverpool returned after their heartbreak of last year and they faced Tottenham. An all English final for the first time since 2008.  Both these sides came through some unforgettable semi-finals. Liverpool turned around a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona. While Tottenham came through a hell of a tie against Ajax.  Coming into the match Spurs were left worrying about the fitness of Harry Kane. Kane came into the game struggling but declared himself fit for the match after missing the semi-final. For Liverpool, no real major injury concerns. It was the start that Liverpool fans could only dream of. After only 20 seconds Moussa Sissoko was penalised for 'handball' from a cross by Sadio Mane which seemed to hit his chest. His arm was out in an unnatural position and after a VAR check the penalty was given. It was down to Mo Salah who was so cruelly taken off injured last year to give Liverpool the lead, which the Egyptian did. ...

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...

Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid (Real Madrid win 5-3 on penalties - 2016)

A repeat of the 2014 final now as Real Madrid faced city rivals Atletico. This time the setting was the San Siro in Milan. Zinedine Zidane was now the head coach of Real Madrid taking over the side in early January 2016, with pretty much the Champions League the only hope of success. This game was not as open as their encounter two years ago, but it still had its drama. Real took the league through fan favourite and one of my favourite players ever Sergio Ramos. The captain managed to get a touch on Gareth Bale’s flick on which saw it just go past Jan Oblak in goal.  Atletico had the perfect chance to level it up from the spot but their star Frenchman Antoine Griezmann’s penalty smashed off the bar and bounced out. Chances in this were few and far between with an excellent display in goal for Atletico by Oblak. With just over 10 minutes left on the clock Atletico finally found the net. A cross from Juanfran on the right-hand side was smashed in by the substitute Yannick Carrasc...
