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 v Arsenal Community Shield Preview

The curtain-raiser to the new season is with us on Sunday as the Premier League Champions Chelsea face Arsenal the FA Cup winners in the Community Shield. Can Arsenal take their impressive pre season form into this and see their title credentials this season? Arsenal fans have been top of the world this summer after winning back to back FA Cups the Gunners signed Petr Cech from Chelsea. Many Arsenal fans said at the time ' Chelsea have just handed us the title' . Well it’s a good signing but we will have to wait and see about the league champion’s part. After winning the Premier League Asia Trophy and the Emirates Cup a true test against Chelsea comes this weekend, it’s the same for the blues. They do have another pre season game against Fiorentina midweek so how serious they take the Community Shield with the league opener to Swansea on the horizon, we have to wait and see. Chelsea at the minute most high profile transfer in is Radamel Falcao, who was simple awful last year ...

Summer Window

My quick fire look at the transfer window so far. Raheem Sterling I don't see what he's done wrong. He has no ties to Liverpool FC, he was not a fan as a young boy. He did not grow up in Liverpool he was just poached by Liverpool from QPR as a 15 year old. He wants to win things and play in the Champions League both I don't think he will do at Anfield. A good move for him, and QPR pocketing nearly £10m is a added bonus. Manchester United Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin all through the door so far. One of United's weakness was the middle of the park that has been strengthen greatly now. This I guess would mean Rooney plays in his natural position up front. The keeper situation still needs to be sorted, will De Gea go to Real Madrid. Hugo Lloris has a has broken wrist who I think would have ended up at United. I don't think De Gea will go to Madrid unless Man United get Sergio Ramos. Petr Cech going to Arsenal, finally they have a saf...

Season Review 2014/15

Here's my look back at the 2014/15 season. Chelsea won the Premier League with ease in the end. They were on top all the season and never looked like they would mess it up at any point. They cleaned up on the team of the year, individual awards as Eden Hazard seemed to pick up everything and Jose Mourinho got manager of the year. (He didn't win one manager of the month award though) The race for top four has the usual faces again as Louis van Gaal has took Manchester United back into it at the expense of Liverpool. Manchester City would expect a much, much better season then they have had next year (Champions League mainly) and with a new manager probably in the hot seat. Arsenal do as they do consistent but never look like will win the Premier League again with Arsene Wenger in charge. Liverpool’s season will go down as a disappointing one, a forgettable Champions League run, some of the players that Rodgers brought in there's some big question marks about...

QPR - Crap From Top to Bottom

A pretty disgraceful season for QPR, in fact a debacle of a season QPR had so much promise but what was left was utter comedy on and off the pitch. Here are a few of my highlights of the season and where it went wrong and who is to blame.  Transfers - Poor. The best Jordon Mutch brought for £6m in the summer, sold to Palace for under £5m in January. Classic Stuff.    No replacement for Remy. Everyone in football knew he would leave before the window closed, apart from it seems Harry Redknapp & Fernandes. Pre season, Ireland with around 12-16 players depending on who you believe. 3-5-2 that lasted 3 games, it made a few comebacks but shockingly didn’t work. We were good at home, wins over Aston Villa, Leicester, Burnley, WBA & a draw over Man City. Away form was a disgrace, 11 defeats in a row. Upton Park was the lowest point for me. Why didn’t they get rid of Redknapp then? A fun win at Sunderland but then normality resumed with more defeats. Man City ...
