Chelsea fire sale?

Undoubted credit has to go to Chelsea for what is now their double winning season. They have a remarkable record at home which I would say is the greatest in Premier League history. They’ve made Stamford Bridge more than just a fortress. Other rivals have good records but they will often lose one or two games at home each season. We are now well past the 2008 date that Roman Abramovich set for his Chelsea departure but it has to be said he has done well to refrain from splashing the cash in recent seasons.

Throughout a season when Liverpool have been consistently crap on the field, their fans have been consistently mental off the field. More specifically, on an internet forum called Red and White Kop (RAWK).

For the members of of RAWK, their season has been dire for a combination of reasons, the most ludicrous being that there’s a conspiracy within the FA and Premier League to stop them from winning anything.

After a season that ended with no trophies and no Champions League place for next season, it was hard to see how it could get much worse for Liverpool football club.

Their captain and nightclub DJ attacker Steven Gerrard endured one of the worst season’s of his career at Anfield, evidently realizing that their second placed finish in the previous season was the closest he was ever going to get to winning the title with such a bunch of average players.

City have launched an ambitious bid for the services of England midfielder James Milner. To their fans it may make sense but where exactly will the midfielder play in the City midfield. The riches of City have enabled them to bring together a squad of several top class Premier League players and then several good players.

I would cite a difference in for example Craig Bellamy who is a good player but then in comparison to Carlos Tevez, is the weaker of the two with Tevez clearly on top. The same could be said for Wayne Bridge who is a good Premier League full back but there are many around who are much better.

Jamie Carragher’s dramatic u-turn on his England involvement is very convenient to say the least.

His retirement was bizarre in itself. After all, how can you retire from a job you don’t have? He wasn’t close to being first choice with superior defenders John Terry and Rio Ferdinand ahead of him, and he wasn’t even certain to be 3rd choice.

If our season could be summed up by one single decision, it would be the one where the linesman – while standing in the perfect position – declined to raise his flag against Didier Drogba, who was standing several yards offside at Old Trafford. The Ivorian striker went on to score what turned out to be the winning goal, and arguably the goal that won them the Premier league title.

For that reason I find it difficult to admit that Chelsea are deserving of their newly bestowed tag of ‘Champions’, simply because it isn’t true.

What can you say about Tottenham Hotspur? They’re usually big time bottlers who do their best to be their own worst enemy.

Tonight I expected much of the same from them when they took on Manchester City away at Eastlands. How wrong I was!

Just when you thought Liverpool fans couldn’t sink any lower, they proved us all wrong today.

The funeral like atmosphere at Anfield today shows that the fans have no interest in supporting their team against Chelsea.

I wrote a piece this morning insisting that the pride of the Liverpool players meant they’d try their best to beat Chelsea. How wrong I was.

If it wasn’t bad enough that the majority of Liverpool fans wanted their own team to lose, it now appears Steven ‘Starfish’ Gerrard has now sided with them.

Today’s game between Liverpool and Chelsea is being billed as a title decider. A victory for Chelsea would move them three points closer to securing the Premier League title, after three years of dominance by Manchester United.

Liverpool – the underdogs – are being hailed as United’s potential saviours. If they can take just one point from today’s game  the title pendulum would swing back in United’s favour.
