Weekend Review

Something is not right at Stamford Bridge. With the departure of Ray Wilkins seemingly leaving a void on the Chelsea bench Ancelotti has been quoted as saying that he has no control at Chelsea. Off the field dilemas are obviously affecting first team performances, with three defeats from the last four games, as a friend of mine put it: Everything just looks a bit fishy Puppetier or the Puppet? Birmingham however did put up a good showing against the blues, with Lee Boyer slamming home after an untracked run from the middle of the field. Ben Foster was, without doubt, the best player on the park with a string of fantastic saves to deny Drogba, Kalou and Ivanovic. On a different day perhaps Chelsea may have won the game, but Birmingham took all three points in what could pivotal in the title race. The North London Derby did not fail to disappoint; with what can only be described as an inspirational comeback from Tottenham. This result, as Harry Redknapp put it, ill...

WARNING! A Hazard is coming...

Arsenal are aiming to sign LOSC Lille's star talent Eden Hazard, a future replacement to the outgoing Andrey Arshavin, which recent reports state is heading across London to Stamford Bridge. Hazard, 19, a young Belgian international, has been strutting his stuff in French Ligue 1, and last season he made a break into the Lille first team, and hasnt looked back. The Attacking midfielder has been tipped for great things and the Arsenal hierchy have seemingly taken notice, with a possible move being planned for next summer, a move that I believe would be an excellent piece of business, as he the potential to be one of Belgium's finest ever players.

Hazard is the latest in a wave of promising talent emerging from Belgium, with names such as Vermaelen and Kompa...

Day One

At last, the Premier League is back. Yesterday it all kicked off with some interesting and for me highly unexpected results. Most notably at Loftus Road, where Michael Laudrup's Swansea all-but destroyed a hapless QPR side. I had Swansea down as favourites to go down this season, however the Dane has stepped well-and-truly out of Brendan Rodgers' shadow, out doing him from last season in two ways, scoring an away goal inside a month and recording an away win before January, neither of which were achieved by his predecessor. Laudrup seems keen to use the pace in the squad with some excellent counter attacking moves, forming the majority of Swansea's goal haul. His acquisitions from Spain all look set to adapt quickly to the premier League and perform well this season, most notably Michu, who stood out with a top notch display with his movement and inter-linking play. The only issue for the Swans new boss is whether he can keep Scott Sinclair, who was so important to th...
