Found this list online, here, and thought it was interesting. Good for Spurs and Villa fans at least.

The list is correct as of 17/11/09.

Last season, I wrote a piece that attributed a song to each Premier League team that reflected their current status or something that was going on at the club at the time. At the risk of going over old ground, I thought I would update the songs for the teams in this years Premiership with my current musings.

Sorry I haven't been around lately, it's been a bit hectic over here recently. Luckily it was an international break and nothing much happened in my absence, but I now dutifully bring you what did.

As you may have read in TheSpoiler (highly recommended by the way), Darius Vassell, ex-Man City striker, has been experience a few bumps over in Turkey.

Yes, that is a serious question. Two players who 'offer more than just goals' as strikers. But how much more? Who would you rather have? Fortunately a member of the Football365 Forum (lol tb x) has done the analysis for us. Read on to see who comes out on top...

A comparison of their goals and assists since Tevez came here:

This is obviously an area where Tevez should win by a margin having played with some of the best players in the world.

Premier League reforms are in the wind but what will they mean for Newcastle United? The Premier League has been undertaking a 'strategic review' since November 2008 and plans to have new proposals in place by December 2010. Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has put forward plans that would lead to a two-tier Premier League of between [. Click to continue reading...

Big Story
The headline story in this piece on the Premier League's consideration of Bolton chairman Phil Gartside's proposals for restructuring the league focuses on the nix put on the idea of Rangers and Celtic joining the Premier League, with that immediately ruled out now and forever.

Like leaves fall from the trees in Autumn, it seems every year some chairman in the Premier League wants to try and get the Old Firm into it. This time Phil Gartside, the Bolton Chairman once again tried to get the League to agree to invite Rangers and Celtic in to the fold. Thankfully, the request has been voted down.

Just for the sake of it, see below a pic of the most famous phone booth in Scotland, used in the best movie ever made by a Scottish director that is in fact the best movie of all time!

The plans, drawn up by Bolton chairman Phil Gartside, are intended to bridge the financial gap between the Premier League elite and the rest of the game, but they are thought to have little chance of being accepted by a majority of club chairmen.

John Terry

We never give too much attention to defenders in the weekly Top Performers, but last week John Terry not only led the Blues to a shutout against a highly potent offense, but he also put in the lone goal of the match and a timely first on the season for Terry.

Well I'm sure you've seen the score by now. I don't really have the heart to repeat it. You may have noted that this is incredibly late. As I said previously I had to visit England to visit my dying grandmother (she passed late Monday night), I got home yesterday at midnight Texas time, 6 AM my body clock time, after no less than 24 hours of traveling.

Chelsea cruised to victory last night as they beat Bolton 4-0. Goals from Kalou (yes he scored again), Malouda, Deco and Drogba sealed an easy win as Chelsea progress to the League Cup quarter finals. To be honest it could of been a hat full and apart from the odd attack on goal (which Hilario will remember from the game more than anything) it was pretty much one sided.

We travel to the Reebok today looking to get our away form back on track as Chelsea take on Bolton for the second time in 4 days. Chelsea ran riot at the Bridge on Wednesday in the League Cup but today is going to be alot different with key players back for both sides so expect a much different kind of game. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea rattled in another four goals yesterday as we beat Bolton 4-0 at the Reebok stadium and let's face it, it could of been so much more. After the display in midweek I predicted that the game yesterday would be a much more difficult game and to Bolton's credit for 43 minutes of the first half it was. Click to continue reading...

The boys applaud a dazzling barrage of Chelsea Goals this week, and review the Bolton 4 + 4, and preview the Atletico Madrid and Man Utd games. Plus more songs in "We're out to show the world the way to sing!", "Dear Mart" and "You're on CFFC". We discuss the two 4-0 wins against Bolton this week, and praise Chelsea's flowing attacking football, as well as awarding our Man of the Match, Click to continue reading...

Remarkable Recovery

Euro 2008 was a hugely enjoyable tournament on a number of levels. Viewers across the globe were spoilt with a month of delightful, positive football. Spain were indisputably the best team on show, and deserved winner of their first major championship in 34 years. However, a personal highlight was the re-emergence of Croatian striker Ivan Klasnic, after he had spent most of 2007 recovering from 2 kidney transplants.

This time yesterday Chelsea and Man Utd were heading onto the pitch for the second half at Stamford Bridge. Forty-five minutes later, a slightly anti-climatic encounter was over and a one nil win for Ancelotti's men represented their most significant – if below par - display of the season.
Manchester United fans are choosing to take an awful lot of positives from the fact that their below strength side managed to play so well.

I've mentioned how the Blues are my horse to win the EPL race many times. Taking all three points in a big match-up against Manchester United will help.
Of course Sir Alex said he has no faith in officiating after the match. Surprise, surprise. Do reporters need to ask him about anything else anymore? Click to continue reading...

Ecco, a beneficio dei lettori di Sport City, i risultati della dodicesima giornata di Premier League, con la classifica aggiornata. Spicca, naturalmente, il colpo di Ancelotti e quello di Terry (la cui giornata era iniziata malissimo con la notizia dell'arresto del papà sorpreso a spacciare cocaina) che manda al tappeto i Red Devils (36° centro con la maglia dei Blues) e conferma i londinesi in vetta alla classifica, a + 5 sull'undici di Alex Ferguson.

Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena says he is looking to leave Anfield in January and return to Italy.
The Italian full-back has only made two appearances for Liverpool so far this season against Bolton in the Premier League and Leeds in the Carling Cup, despite moving for a hefty £7million in July last year. Click to continue reading...

I've been so used to seeing Villa concede goals lately, that I had to do a double take when I saw the final score and highlights of last night's game against Bolton. My particular favourite was John Carew's cause he out muscled two defenders and 'Hulked' his way into the ... Click to continue reading...

‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow. Between the crosses, row on row...'

91 years ago today, World War 1 hostilities ended. To commemorate the anniversary, most Premier League clubs will be sporting fresh kits this weekend emblazoned with the poppy emblem. Only three out of the twenty clubs in the league are refusing to conform to public sentiment: Manchester United, Liverpool and Bolton.

Self pity is an unattractive quality in a person I have to concede.
Except when I am the subject of course.
For a girl who rarely gets sick, having a heavy cold has proved something of a challenge.
And as if that wasn't bad enough in itself, The Foxes lost at home today 1 -2 (it would have been 0 2 had it not been for a 90 minute goal by Berner). Click to continue reading...

Bolton Chairman Phil Gartside has popped his head above the parapet again. An article in today's Guardian has once again floated the idea of a two tier Premier League. This would involve the co-opting of the current Cocaleague into the EPL structure, with those Bhoys and Gers from Glasgow added to taste. Click to continue reading...

So this is probably the earliest I've ever done a match report (3 whole days in advance) and so I can't link you to the BBC statistics report. You'll just have to go find it yourself, it'll be on this page probably by Saturday. Like I said a little earlier, I'm going over to England and won't have internet until I get back (I'm staying at my grandmother's house and she doesn't allow any technology made after 1972 in), so don't expect any new posts from me until Tuesday at the earliest (there there love, don't pine, you can always go through my archives or go read some of my posts on England World Cup Blog if you miss me too much).
