I've not wrote a blog for a little while so here's a little update of what's gone on in the world of football recently.
FA Cup
What an amazing weekend of FA Cup football, who said the magic is gone. We saw Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Swansea and Southampton all crashing out on the same day. With Manchester United and Liverpool going to replays the cup is wide open for a ‘smaller’ club to have their big day at Wembley.

However it was all fun and games Saturday but if we get a West Ham v Derby final I don’t think it will be a great spectacle. Let’s hope its Arsenal v Manchester United or Liverpool in the final, it is the ‘best cup competition in the world' remember.

QPR

QPR still haven't won an away game all season, however Harry Redknapp has been backed by his chairman. I wonder how many other managers would be safe if they had such a horrendous record. QPR have only brought in Mauro Zarate on loan so far but we all know Redknapp is a deadline day guy, so expect QPR to do business in the last few days. As for on the pitch QPR must not lose at Stoke after the 2 week break they have had Rangers must have some plan, tactic or personal pride to stop the woeful away form and at least battle out a 0-0 draw surely.

Stevie G

Steven Gerrard announced he's leaving Liverpool a few weeks ago now, it’s amazing how one man can divide so much opinion. Who was better Gerrard or Scholes? Should he have gone Chelsea when he could? Should he have gone aboard earlier? There’s a time and a place to discuss that but it’s an awful shame one of the Premier League ‘greats’ will never win the Premier League. 
So my picks are:

Premier League Top 4

Chelsea
Manchester City
Manchester United
Arsenal

Relegation

Hull
Burnley
Leicester City
Championship
Middlesbrough
Ipswich
Watford

FA Cup  - Arsenal
League Cup - Tottenham 
Champions League - Barcelona

Europa League - Roma
For you betting people, a £10 accumulator on the four cup winners would pay you just over £9000! Enjoy

After this weekend’s events what have we learnt in the Premier League. Firstly its Man City’s title to lose, 11 wins and 1 draw in the league at this point they look unstoppable. Man United have a problem in centre midfield. Rooney is filling a gap there and Fergie knows he has a problem. There’s a lack of creative talent in the centre of the park, missing out on Nasri & Sneijder is showing plus the loss of Scholes showed how good he really was. Young could move into the centre where he did play for Aston Villa which could be an option. Tottenham look to be firing on all cylinders now, pace down both wings and they have the creative spark with Modric and Van Der Vaart. Now with Scott Parker doing the dirty work they look in good condition for top 4. Newcastle United’s first test against City was always going to be hard after an easy start to the season, but they do look solid at the back and have been exciting to watch. Chelsea look to have forgotten how to defend, lost th...

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 ...

Top of the table looking the same.....

As we head into the international break this season’s title race looks like it’s going to be the same old faces, with a similar outcome. Man United sit top and 5 points clear of Arsenal. United have had probably the most average season for a long time. The defence is not great and the midfield has been a lot better. But they have done what United always do, get results when not playing well. Hernandez, Berbatov & Nani have been the main men for me. The little Mexicans first season in England have seen him scored 16 goals in all competitions this season. He is a true goal poacher, he reminds me of Ole Gunnar Solskjear who worked well with any partner he was teamed, Hernandez has done the same with Berbatov and Rooney. Nani has stepped up his game a lot he had big boots to fill in the size of Ronaldo. He had been compared to his fellow countryman but never really was as good. However he has been a key player this season and has scored 10 times. He has done very well but I feel their ...
