Premier League - 28 February - 1st March

Liverpool beat Manchester City by two goals to one and this was a very good win Liverpool as Manchester City have a got a real chance to win the league this season.

 The loss would have a shock for Manchester City who are just five points behind the leaders Chelsea and losses like this reduce their chance of over taking Chelsea and winning the title. 

Arsenal beat Everton by two goals to nil and this was a good win for Arsenal but to be fair Everton have had a poor season but they are always a threat and this is why is was a good solid win. 

Man United beat Sunderland by two goals to nil and this was another good win for Manchester United who who are now consolidating there top four place. 

Premiership - 1st January 2015

I haven't blogged in a while mainly because I wanted to get some well earned rest from blogging as well holding down a job. 

My lack of blogging was not particularly helped by watching Arsenal mess things up time and time again. 

New year but same old Arsenal as soon as I saw the team line up I knew it was going to be a tough match to win against a Southampton team that have had an amazing start. 

So I was not too surprised when Southampton beat Arsenal by two goals to nil. Arsenal defence is probably the worst I have ever seen. 

They are not comfortable in the air and when the other team is running at them the defence backs off. 

So it was another terrible loss for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger has no plans to strengthen the defence in the transfer window so it could be a really tough next five months for the team. 

Elsewhere Manchester United drew one  all with Stoke City this was a surprising result as Man United have being doing well and if they had won this match it would have helped to consolidate their third position and even challenge for the top two positions. 

Manchester City just about beat Sunderland by three goals two to help them retain the title they won last year. 

I don't think Manchester City are playing well but they are doing enough to win their games and get those valuable points. 

The shock of the day was Tottenham beating Chelsa by five goals to three. This loss would have really have hurt Chelsea because many including myself had gifted them title and I did not see them losing a match. 

So this loss to Tottenham has definitely made the race to the title a little more interesting as Manchester City and Chelsea are now only separated by goal difference.  

Premiership - 25th - 26th October 2014

In this weekend Premiership games, Arsenal beat Sunderland by two goals to nil. To be fair it would have been one hell of shock if the result had been any different. 

It's really good to see Alexis Sanchez playing well and scoring two goals. it has been a while since the defence has kept a clean sheet that was nice to see. 

My main concern is that Arsene Wenger is still leaving some of our best players on the bench and if he is not careful when the next transfer window opens again the likes of Lukas Polodski will be off. 

The shock result of the weekend was West Ham beating Manchester City. It was a game that Manchester City will probably regret losing but that loss helped Arsenal to stay in to touch the top four. 

Liverpool had a goal less draw with Hull City and this was the season that their fans really believed something could happen so far it has been nothing short of pitiful. 

Manchester United and Chelsea drew one all. This was good result for the chasing pack because had Chelsea won that game they would it would have made it a real uphill task to catch them.

English Premiership - Week two

In week two Premiership games, Arsenal came back from two nil down to draw two all with Everton.

 To be fair was a good draw as last year Everton thumped Arsenal three nil at home. So I was relieved that we where at least able to come home with a point. 

What I am not so comfortable with is Arsene Wenger team selection as I think we look vulnerable at the back and a better team will be able to exploit that. 

Manchester City beat Liverpool by three goals to one and this was a surprise result. I thought the scoreline was going to be a lot closer as Liverpool have got a title challenging squad. 

However Manchester City have a very good team and were able to score the goals when it mattered to win the match.  

Chelsea beat Leicester City by two goals to nil and this season Chelsea have added some key players to their squad but I am not entirely convinced about their defence. 

Manchester United drew one all with Sunderland and their lean spell continue it could be very tough season for Man United fans. 

Tottenham beat Queens Park Rangers by four goals to nil and it could be the start of a great season for Spurs fans. 

Premiership review - 19th/20th April 2014

In the weekend Premiership games Arsenal beat Hull City by three goals to nil. It was a pretty convincing win and Arsenal where able to play there free flowing football style.

Arsenal fans will probably be wondering where this free flowing football has been. Arsenal's lack of consistency is why they are fighting for fourth place as opposed to challenging for the title. 

Liverpool beat Norwich City by three goals to two and this has helped them to maintain there position at the top of the league. 

The shock of the weekend was Chelsea losing at home to Sunderland. Sunderland beat Chelsea by two goals to one and this means that Chelsea are now five points behind Liverpool with three games to go. 

Elsewhere Everton beat Manchester United by two goals to nil and David Moyes was subsequently sacked as Man United manager. 

This loss means that it is highly unlikely that Man United will play any European games next season. 

Manchester City beat West Brom by three goals to one and this means that with three games to go there still a possibility of them winning the title. 

So Liverpool are top of the league and sitting pretty and if they beat Chelsea at home in the next match they will probably win the title. 

Premiership review - 15th/16th April 2014

In the midweek premiership games Arsenal beat West Ham by three goals to one. 

It was a very important win for Arsenal as they desperately needs to win all their remaining games to hold on to fourth place.

Arsenal started off a little nervously but slowly but surely grew in confidence and began to play their a free flowing pass game. 

West Ham started off well but once Arsenal scored the equaliser they were unable to their level and lost the game.

Elsewhere Manchester City drew two all with Sunderland in the game that I expected them to win. 

This has dented their chance of winning the premiership as they only have about five games to play.

So Liverpool are comfortably at the top of the league and it theirs to win or to lose. 

Premiership review - 25th/26th March 2014

In the mid week premiership games Arsenal drew two all with Swansea City. Arsenal had a bad start and then scored two goals in quick sucession. 

By the ninetieth minute I thought that Arsenal secured three points but then lo and behold Arsenal's Matthieu Flamini went and scored an own goal.

That own goal really summed are weak performance. But Swansea fought tooth and nail to get something out of this match. Whilst Arsenal sat back and did not really push for that. 

But if things are bad for Arsenal they are even worse Manchester United. David Moyes is really under pressure after losing three nil to Manchester City. 

Man United fans are not used to being in this position. So I think David Moyes Champions League game against Bayern Munich will determine whether or not he has a future at the club.  

Liverpool beat Sunderland by two goals to one. This win has put them a point behind Chelsea and gives them a real opportunity to win the league. 

Premiership review - 22nd/ 23rd February 2014

The Premiership returned this weekend and Arsenal who had that dismal result against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, beat Sunderland by four goals to one. 

This was a great result for Arsenal and it was notable that Olivier Giroud who had been dropped to the bench for the previous games scored two of Arsenal four goals. 

Man City also beat Stoke City by a goal to nil and this keeps them third with a game in hand. 

Liverpool beat Swansea by four goals to three and this keeps them within touching distance of the top three. 

Norwich City pulled off a sensational result and beat Tottenham by a goal to nil. However this loss did not affect Tottenham standing in the league and they are still top five. 

Man United beat Crystal Palace by two goals to nil and this was by no means an easy match for Man United, who are still struggling to find some consistency this season. 

The league leaders Chelsea beat Everton by one goal to nil and this helped them to retain their position and Arsenal are second and just one point behind. 

League Cup - Semi-Finals

The League Cup semi-finals have took place over the last few days and Man City beat West Ham by three goals to nil and by nine goals to nil over all. 

This was a a very good win for Man City and an embarrassing loss for West Ham. However it does mean that West Ham can completely focus on their league battle and get out of the relegation zone. 

In the second semi-final Sunderland drew two all with Man United on the night but then beat on penalties. 

This was a shock result and I thought Man United would have won on penalties. But their penalty taking was woeful and Sunderland where the deserved winners.    

Preview of the premiership games

So after the break for the World Cup qualifiers, the premiership resumes today.

Man United are at home to the newly promoted Crystal Palace. This could  be quite a tough match for Crystal Palace but who knows they might surprise us. 

Man City are away to Stoke City this will be a very competitive game. Which  to be fair could go either way.

Chelsea are away to Everton now this should be a good match and I would not be surprised if Everton won.

Tottenham are at home to Norwich this will probably be a very competitive match.

 Spurs new players are still to bed in with the rest of their players. So if Norwich where going to beat Spurs this would be a good time. 

On Monday Liverpool are away to Swansea this will be a competitive game that could go either way. 

However Liverpool  have started very well with three straight wins so maybe their winning streak might continue.

Arsenal are away to Sunderland and we always  struggle away from home to beat Sunderland. 

Arsenal normally comeback from  the international break and play sluggish football. 

I am hoping that our new signing Mesut Ozil might shake the team up and get us a win!
