"Is the Spanish league a step down? Of course. I watched Real Madrid and Almeria last
night . . . and you want to switch off after half an hour. It's not watchable!"
Wenger's words might be a shot across the bow to Fabregas and La Liga's latest transfer target,
Gael Clichy but it also happens to be true.
I have a feeling Fabio Capello is in close consultation with Carlo
Ancelotti regarding John Terry. If so, this is a refreshing change from
the history of bad blood which began when Ancelotti was a player in Capello's Milan squad.
Terry is being given enough slack by his manager to straighten out his personal life.
Especial
Adjetivo. Singular o particular, que no es común o general.
Desde que la conciencia aflora en los seres humanos uno de los objetivos a largo plazo que suelen
imponerse es simple y claro: diferenciarse del resto. Para muchos, no hay nada peor que sentirse
parte de una masa absurda y uniforme donde cada uno de sus integrantes resulta ser una copia burda
y asquerosa del compañero a su par.
The scoreline does not reflect a good Villa team that came out to play against the team which
had annihilated them a fortnight ago. They were also denied a clear penalty when Agbonlahor by John
Obi Mikel in the box. Another moment was the horrific studs up tackle on James Milner by John Terry
which should have been an instant red card.
Chelsea roared back to the top of the table with a 7-0 annihilation of Stoke. Before the match,
Tony Pulis was cribbing about how the bigger clubs load the dice with favourable refereeing
decisions. But Steve Bennett had no part to play in Stoke's mauling.
It was a sea of Blues swamping the Stoke goal.
Chelsea consolidated their title chances by beating Liverpool, 2-0. Didier Drogba scores after a
shockingly poor back pass from Steven Gerrard and then Frank Lampard ices it. Cue all the
conspiracy theories about Liverpool preventing Man Utd from becoming the most decorated English
club.
It is now upto Man Utd to take out Sunderland.
In May 2000, Juventus were shocked by lowly Perugia on the last day. Alessandro Calori scoring
the most consequential goal of his career. The defeat bequeathed second place Lazio the Serie
title.
A decade later, Carlo Ancelotti Juve's manager at that time, hopes to avoid that 'tragedy'
against Wigan.
In some style too. An 8-0 thrashing of Wigan on the last day. Goals from Anelka, Kalou, Lampard,
Ashley Cole, and of course Drogba.
103 goals, +71 goal differential, and the Golden boot for Didier Drogba. And Petr Cech with 16
clean sheets as goalkeeper of the year along with Pepe Reina.
Carlo Angstalotti after the Sunderland defeat: A course correction or something deeper?
After the stunning loss to Sunderland the current form is to portray Chelsea as a club that has
come unglued. A host of injuries to first teamers, the departure of key players, an out of the blue
dismissal of a veteran assistant, and a flat affect have all been blamed for the drop off in
performance.
Recent reports of Carlo Ancelotti's authority being undermined by the recent elevation of
Michael Emenalo as assistant coach sparked of rumours that the Italian would be leaving the club
before his contract ran out in 2012.
Today Chelsea's manager came out with a statement stating he is perfectly happy to be in the
club.
