Premier League 7th May 2015

I have blogged about the premiership for a while, however I haven't missed a match! Arsenal beat Hull City by three goals to one and it was a good win. 

I still don't know why Arsene Wenger is not playing Theo Walcott and it particularly annoyed me our previous game against Chelsea as that point we still had a little chance to win the premiership which has now gone. 

This because Chelsea beat Crystal Palace one nil and they won the title and that is another year that Arsenal don't win the title so it is frustrating but at least it help Arsenal secure second place.

Premier League - Easter Bank Holiday Games

In the bank holiday fixtures Arsenal beat Liverpool by four goals to one and it is probably the best football Arsenal have played in sometime. 

I am not always happy with the line up that Arsene Wenger goes for but this line up was very effective albeit he left Walcott and Gibbs who are two of my favourite players but most importantly a Arsenal won the game and collected three valuable points. 

Manchester United beat Aston Villa by three goals to one and this was a good win for them and keeps them in the title race. 

Chelsea beat Stoke City by two goals to one and this helped them to lead at the top and with a few top matches coming up this win was vital. 

Shock of the bank holiday fixtures was Manchester City losing to Crystal Palace and before the game I would have bet my months salary that Manchester City would have beaten Crystal Palace comfortably. 

This was a bad loss for Manchester City and they also dropped to fourth in the league and it will take a real miracle for them to retain their title. 

 

So the last eight/nine games of the league are looking exciting and realistically any of the top three Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal can awin it. 

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. 

Premier league - 21st February 2015

In this weekend premiership fixtures Chelsea had a shock one all draw with Burnley at home and this after the club had spent most of the week on the front pages of the newspapers because of the disgraceful behaviour of a few fans. 

I am sure this did not help the concentration of their players and Burnley were able to capitalize on this. 

Another shock result was Swansea beating Manchester United by two goals to one. As Manchester United have been doing reasonable well so I personally didn't see before hand how they where going to lose this match. 

Arsenal beat Crystal Palace by two goals to one and it was a closely fought game. Which Arsenal managed to win by the skin of their teeth but a win is win and it have them three valuable points. 

Manchester City beat Newcastle by five goals to nil and it was an embarrassing defeat for Newcastle. Whilst it was the excellent result for City and it is also good for the goal difference with other teams. 

Liverpool beat Southampton by two goals to nil. This was a really good win for  Liverpool as Southampton have been in the team for most of the season. Liverpool can now realistically focus on a top five finish and a place in Europe. 

FA Cup - 15th February 2015

The FA Cup took place this weekend Liverpool beat Crystal Palace by two goals to one and this was good win for Liverpool and I would not be surprised if they made it to the final. 

Arsenal beat Middlesborough beat by two goals to nil and it was a good win for Arsenal and they managed to win without conceding a goal. 

Arsene Wenger put out a strong line up as these days he cannot afford to put out a weakened squad because in these kind of cups the lower division teams always do well. 

Manchester United beat Preston three goals to one and this was a good solid win for Manchester United. But to be fair I would have been very surprised if they had lost to Preston. 

This win put Manchester into quarter-finals and takes them a step closer to winning a trophy under Luis Van Gaal. 

FA Cup - 24th/25th January 2015

There were some truly shocking losses in the FA Cup. Chelsea who were two nil up ended up losing four goals to Bradford City at home. 

Manchester City provided more shocks as the lost two nil at home to Middlesborough. Southampton who have been so well also lost three goals to two to Crystal Palace. 

So Arsenal played there game a day later and Arsene Wenger got the memo that it was not the time to play a weakened squad so he picked a full strength squad and it paid off as Arsenal beat Brighton by three goals to two. 

The losses by three of the top teams has made it more realistic possibility that Arsenal can retain their title. 

Australian Open - Day thirteen - Women's Final

Day thirteen and in the women's final Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova in straight sets to win her nineteenth grand slam. It was an amazing match and the second set could have gone either way. 

It started with both Seren and Maria "posing" for there final picture and neither could raise a smile and it was one of most awkward final pictures I have seen in a while. 

In the first Serena broke Maria in the first and more or less maintained her advantage to win the set. The second was  a lot more competitive and could have gone either but Serena held to win the second set tie break and the match.

This win was a historic victory for Serena as she now only three grand slam titles behind Steffi and it is now looking like she could realistically get as many titles as Steffi.

Both Serena and Maria played very good tennis but for Maria her best was not good enough.

 Serena did incredibly well considering she was not feeling a 100%. So very excited to see she can get anymore grand slams in 2015.
