Thank god the Premier League is back. Nothing against international football, but there's something very comforting with getting back into the ritual of watching Premier League football and being familiar with the surroundings, the pace of the game and the excitement it creates.

So the Liverpool against Manchester City game on early Saturday was the perfect re-introduction to the Premier League.

If there was any consolation, this was the first time this season we had really deserved to lose: both the defeats to United and City were particularly galling because we were the better team.
Credit Sunderland. While their performance wasn't out of this world, they did what they had to do. Click to continue reading...

I opened up my preview for this match with the following paragraph:

Back in action at the Stadium of Light tomorrow, for what I expect to be a very tricky match. Seriously–this match scares the hell out of me. For one thing, it's a road match against a top half side with a very good home record–those matches are always tough, no matter what.

• Manchester City and Liverpool drew 2 - 2 this morning. Blog buddy Yossi Benayoun's equalizer secured the draw. Benayoun had just flown back at 3:00AM from Serbia, after receiving extensive horse placenta massages on his hamstring. No word on if he ate hay for breakfast. Neither team looked deserving of a win, though City's play improved after the introduction of Carlos Tevez in the second half.

It feels like months since United's last outing. I'm not sure whether that's because of the boredom the International break breaks or the need we've felt to bury our last game to the back of our memories. Losing against your title rivals is always going to be painful but to lose how we did, at the hands of poor officiating, is even harder to take.

Guus Hiddink could be making an announcement as early as next month about his future. He has a contract with as Russia's head coach until the end of June 2010 and now with the failure to qualify for the World Cup it is thought he will quit and become Technical Director at Chelsea. Hiddink had [...] Click to continue reading...

Il "biscione" dell'Inter si è inserito nella trattativa e, ormai, è guerra aperta con i Blues di Ancelotti. Un derby, visto il recente e importante passato milanista dell'allenatore di Reggiolo. Oggetto del desiderio? il fuoriclasse argentino dei Colchoneros, il "Kun" Aguero, una stella luminosa nel firmamento dei bomber europei. Click to continue reading...

Ok so today we are back to business in the Premier League with one or two players missing but its still, on paper, another win for Chelsea at the Bridge. Lampard, Drogba, Ballack and Deco are missing through injury but Ashley Cole and John Terry are fit to play which is important. The back five are key to stability in the side and with the injuries we have this will be more important than ever. Click to continue reading...

Holy Zombie Jesus, did a lot go down since the last time the Premier League kicked off a fortnight ago. First and foremost, my assumed title chase between Chelsea and Arsenal got thrown a wicked Barry Zito circa-2002 curveball. (Ok, for Brits, a wicked Googly.) Chelsea is going to have to play at least a couple matches -- and almost certainly the Nov. Click to continue reading...

United take on Everton this weekend while neighbours Manchester City face Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the day. A draw at Anfield would be the ideal result as far as the champions are concerned, but with Chelsea and Arsenal set to take on Wolves and Sunderland respectively it is vital United do not concede any more ground at the top of the table.

Michael Tonge's loan move from Stoke to Preston after Tony Pulis's unsuccessful attempt to establish the languid midfielder as a Premier League player comes as little surprise; his spell at the Britannia Stadium having been as excitement packed as a Cabinet meeting to discuss the Lisbon treaty.

According to Simon Bird at MirrorFootball, Chelsea are interested in signing £4million Middlesbrough winger Adam Johnson. The plan is to purchase him in January and then loan him back until the end of the season.

Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti has admitted his surprise at Liverpool's Premier League struggles this season.
Rafa Benitez's men were expected to mount a serious title challenge this term but are already badly off the pace after losing five of their opening 12 games.
The Anfield outfit is already 11 points adrift of Ancelotti's league leaders, who have a five-point cushion over Arsenal and Manchester United following their 1-0 victory against the champions before the international break. Click to continue reading...

Michael Ballack has been a top-class performer for Chelsea in this season's Barclays Premier League. He has been a key reason for the Blues success in the league this term, contributing three goals and 2 assists in 9 games with an impressive passing efficiency of 84%.
Malaysian Today published this article recently chronicling the career of Ballack, his injury struggles while at the Premiership and finally coming good this season. Click to continue reading...

Robin van Persie suffered one of the Premier League's most significant injuries over last weekend in his friendly match with the Netherlands verses Italy. The star forward of Arsenal went down in the twelfth minute and was taken off on a stretcher due to a serious ankle injury. Apparently van Persie has suffered a torn ligament in the ankle and he claims that he will only miss a little bit over a month to around six weeks.

Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre says their looming clash with Chelsea could be decisive for their own title ambitions.

How to begin making sense of this week? We start out with the crazy happenings between Ireland and France today - if ever there was a case to be made for instituting replay, this was it. Sadly, the case of the Irish is not likely to be sufficient to make it happen. Until a major team (that draws major crowd and sponsorship support) misses out on the World Cup or Champions League because of a Click to continue reading...

Something fishy is going on at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's marquee signing of the summer – 18-million-pound-man Yuri Zhirkov -  has yet to play a league game for the club and has played less than a combined 90 minutes for them in all competitions. Ever since his big money move from CSKA Moscow in July, the Russian winger and fullback has been trying to shake off a mysterious rash of injuries that have even baffled club doctors.

Great news today coming out of the club with the news that John Terry was back to training normally and Joe and Ashley Cole were both involved today after their injury problems. It was thought that Ash would be out longer but has made a great recovery. There were reports that Joe and Ashley were involved in training so far as that it was strictly under non-contact orders from the club. Click to continue reading...

I've just heard the news that Russia have failed to qualify for the World Cup.
I suppose it's our fault for not giving Roman Pavlyuchenko enough playing time? I do wonder what 'the world's greatest manager', Hiddink, will do now (Chelsea anyone)?
Didn't it bug you the way the Dutchman went on last season, telling us all just how good Pavlyuchenko was? Click to continue reading...

Il calciomercato impazza. Mentre ci avviciniamo al mese di gennaio e alla riapertura delle liste, circolano già indiscrezioni su alcune interessanti operazioni di mercato che potrebbero prendere piede tra qualche mese. Una delle società pronte ad investire è il Chelsea di Abramovic. Finita la sospensione del mercato, il club londinese è pronto a mettere mano al portafoglio e a tentare l'assalto a qualche pezzo pregiato. Click to continue reading...

Alright, everybody here's the thing. I'll be hopping a plane to London tonight, in part to catch the Chelsea v Wolves match at the Bridge on Saturday. So your regularly scheduled programming will be interrupted between now and Monday, but unless I end up passed out in a pub somewhere for the next four or five days I hope to share pictures and tidbits from the trip while I'm there.

Okay, I know, 3 posts in one day is a bit excessive. But one was part of a planned thing, the other was new injury news, and there are several things here that I thought you find interesting.

First, and most importantly, Kieran Gibbs did not break his foot, only suffered brusing, and is expected to be back and ready for action against Chelsea on the 29th.

After almost three injury-ravaged years, Dean Ashton, as the back pages suggest, will finally hang up his boots and retire.
