Spurs Hold Chelsea,But We're Still on Top


Frustration..Yes thats exactly the word..Frustration..Tottenham frustrated Chelsea by robbing Chelsea of two points at Stamford Bridge yesterday..Chelsea were always the stronger of the two sides and deservedly took the lead when Belletti bundled a Deco corner over the line..Then in stoppage time Darren Bent was at the end of a horrific deflection from Frank Lampard and finished coolly between Cech's legs..The second half was more or less the same story with Chelsea dominating but failing to make their chances pay..
On the performances I feel Chelsea were good but a little unlucky..Anelka's and Kalou's misses were the costliest..Anelka still seems a quality player to me no matter what others say..but Kalou..Chelsea definitely need Robinho..ok..others..Deco was as usual good..not quite the level of his old performances but still good..Bosingwa has had a hattrick of good performances..Lampard was fine..Chelsea's Wing Backs..Ashley Cole and Bosingwa seem to be our greatest strenghths right now..They give so much support up front...I think Chelsea will be unstoppable with Drogba back to finish off these great chances..
Despite the Result Chelsea remain on top with Liverpool closest with the same 7 points but Chelsea have a better goal difference..effectively Chelsea's slip up has given a Chance to Manchester United to level up with us..they were not in action this weekend following a defeat at the hands of Zenit Petersburg in the Uefa Super Cup..Even if they would have played and won,I guess Chelsea still would be top unless Man Utd can completely steam roller their next opposition,which is quite unlikely because they play Liverpool up next..

Alright now the Robinho daily..He should now come to Chelsea..todays the last day..he made a personal press conference stating his ambition to come to Chelsea..now its impossible for Real to keep him there..firstly because his will is publicly known so the fans wouldnt want him there..He played a match earlier and the crowd booed everytime he got the ball..Schuster is the only one i guess who wants him there..Can't blame his..Calderon has ruined Real's transfer season..focussing completely on Ronaldo and now look he's got neither Ronaldo nor a happy Robinho..So it seems quite obvious that Real wont prevent the big money move and keep an unhappy player...and frankly they shouldnt complain..its them themselves who created a mess out of Robinho..Noone would want to stay at a club if he were treated that way..anyways Best Of Luck Mr. Calderon for the next elections..
Is it really happening or its just me..Iam actually beginning to feel that the Serie A is a really interesting league..Jose Mourinho is there..Ronaldinho is there(Oohh..What a debut he had..take that critics) and we have 4-5 evenly matched teams competing for the 1st Position..no..It actually has happened..I feel the Serie A has taken over the Spanish La Liga...I personally support Roma..and Inter too now mainly because of the Special One..
Untill next ADIOS!!

Preview - Week 2


First of all apologies for a late post..I have not been well..Sorry...and now the big news first..Robinho who had spoken of his desire to leave for Chelsea earlier this week has been allowed by Madrid to leave..Great news for Chelsea..but not so Great for players like Wright Phillips..now Robinho and Joe Cole on the wings..Chelsea truly seem invincible..Another news Fabio Paim has also joined(supposedly) Chelsea on a loan deal with an option to buy..

Now lets go to the previews..First The Table Toppers Chelsea..Chelsea make a trip to the JJB stadium to take on Wigan..Major issues include the fitness of Michael Ballack,Michael Essien and Jose Bosingwa..Anyways Chelsea still have a squad strong enough of beating Wigan..Wigan surprisingly seem pretty upbeat about beating Chelsea..quite surprising..after Chelsea mauled Portsmouth 4-0 last week..anyways I think it will be the same scoreline if not better..Man To Watch-DECO

Now Manchester United..They face Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Monday..this could be an interesting game..I guess Manchester will get the victory but only just..or perhaps Portsmouth might even sneak a draw like they did in Community Shield Final..Man Utd cant take this game for granted at any cost..Portsmouth will be giving it their all and not to forget their home advantage..Man To Watch - WAYNE ROONEY

Now Liverpool,They face Middlesbrough at Anfield..Both teams won their first match of the season but must be said that Boro were more impressive..The Keane, Torres partnership didnt look to threatning and this will be a big test for Rafa..Liverpool obviously go in as favourites but I could have pt my money on a draw had this match not been at Anfield..Steven Gerrard is expected to be back and in the starting line up and this should serve as a big boost for the team..Anyways I'll go for a 2-1 Liverpool win..Man to Watch - FERNANDO TORRES

Arsenal have an easy opponent in Fulham..Fulham were beaten last week by newcomes Hull and their morale will be a little low..Arsenal, although are coming of a win, will not be too pleased with their 1-0 victory and will be looking for this fixture to build up their confidence..Man To Watch - Tough one this..I'll go for SAMIR NASRI..
Now coming to the other teams..
Blackburn vs Hull --Easy win for Blackburn 2-0
Newcastle vs Bolton --Tough One Newcastle to scrape it 1-0
Stoke vs Aston Villa --Rout..No need to explain
Spurs vs Sunderland -- Tight match..1-1
WBA vs Everton --Everton 1-0 WBA
Man City vs West Ham -- 2-1 to West Ham
Next post Reviews..on Monday..and Manchester United will be added to it later perhaps Tuesday..BYE!!

Preview - Sunderland vs Liverpool


Match of the Day I guess..Make no mistake Sunderland are no weak team..Surely not at their own Stadium Of Lights..and Iam sure Rafa knows this..Keane has made some astute summer signings in the shape of ex-Tottenham trio Teemu Tainio, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque, while El Hadji Diouf is a player who could perhaps rival his manager in desire to put one over Liverpool following a disappointing spell at Anfield..
Liverpool..Ah the team which always amazes me..18 years it has been since they last won the league...and not once did they seem incapable..They have been excellent in continental competitions..The Champions League always shows us Liverpool's class but the Premier League also shows us their lack of consistency..Liverpool were surprisingly lacklusture in their performance against Standard Leige in midweek..They surely need to improve on that or an upset is surely on the cards..Liverpool will have their captain Steven Gerrard back for this match, Keane is set to make a debut..can this be Liverpool's year..well they have all the quality..but thats the case every year isn't it..
Predicted Teams (again SKY SPORTS) -

Sunderland: Gordon, Bardsley, Chimbonda, Higginbotham, Collins, Malbranque, Tainio, Whitehead, Richardson, Diouf, Stokes

Liverpool: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Dossena, Kuyt, Gerrard, Alonso, Benayoun, Keane, Torres

Preview Arsenal vs West Brom


Preview ARSENAL vs WEST BROM

You can check out the link above for the full story..I'll just Highlight the major points..
Arsenal who started last years campaign better than everyone else,will be looking to try and gain advantage over their rivals early in the season again..A lot depends on how Aresene Wenger's new signings which include most notably Samir Nasri and Aaron Ramsey..Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) and Abou Diaby (thigh) are both sidelined, while Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and summer signing Amaury Bischoff (groin) are also recovering after lengthy lay-offs.Arsenal were not quite impressive in their somewhat fortutious 2-0 win over F.C Twente and will be looking to improve on that..Another major highlight of the match could be Theo Walcott who has inherited Henry's legendary No. 14 Jersey..
On the other hand West Brom who won the Championship last season will be looking to ride on the momentum and hope for some points here..Although their major worry is sure to be survival in the League..Anyways here are the predicted starting line ups(SKY SPORTS)-

Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Walcott, Ramsey, Denilson, Nasri, Van Persie, Adebayor

West Brom: Carson, Hoefkens, Meite, Barnett, Cech, Morrison, Brunt, Greening, Kim, Bednar, Miller
