1. Chelsea are definitely hanging on to third rather than hunting for second. They didn't appear to be hunting for anything against Manchester City yesterday. 2. It was sad to see Robin Van Persie go the way of David Beckham: out of favour with Sir Alex Ferguson after spending too much time in front of [.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Wayne Rooney bursting onto the scene with a stunning first Premier League goal against Arsenal in 2002. A decade later Wazza is arguably still the most gifted player at England's disposal but continues to attract criticism for his form and fitness. Has Rooney lived up to his early promise [.
Considering so many of the events of the last three or four years or so, yesterday was an
altogether satisfactory day for Portsmouth Football Club. A win by three goals to nil at Crawley
Town lifted the team out of the relegation places at the foot of League One, whilst supporters were
able to keep themselves entertained with rumours of another bidder to rescue the club from
administration.
I suppose it's axiomatic to say that Arsenal's is a much more green and pleasant land in the
aftermath of a good victory. The scorched earth of transfer deadline day has (temporarily at least)
given way to the first flower of spring. I still have my misgivings about the squad, but there
seems little point in recycling them now.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has ruled out sending young star Raheem Sterling on loan after
impressing at the start of the season.
Sterling was outstanding for the Reds in his first Premier League start for the club in last
weekend's draw with champions Manchester City.
It was initially thought Liverpool would consider loaning out Sterling this season so that he could
get some valuable first-team experience under his belt, but the 17-year-old has quickly established
himself in Rodgers' plans.
With Newcastle up 1-0 on Spurs in the 54th minute of their first Premier League match of the
season, Magpies manager Alan Pardew get a little overexcited and shoved a linesman. Pardew was
reacting to the ball going out off a Spurs player, which the linesman apparently didn't see as
played continued, so Pardew gave him a shove from behind.
Joe Allen was blocked from making his Liverpool debut on Sunday after Swansea City refused to grant
special dispensation for him to play in a pre-season friendly.
Allen signed for his new club after a 5pm deadline on Friday. He needed to be registered with the
Premier League before then so he could face Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield yesterday.
Liverpool has the task of being the first Premier League team to kick off the 2012-13 season with
its match today against FC Gomel in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. In

Well, pretty much as expected nothing happened yesterday with regards Santi Cazorla. Well,
nothing public anyway.
This morning's Diario Sur, a local paper for local people, says the transfer is
essentially 'unstoppable' and it'll take a 'miracle' for Cazorla to play for Malaga again.
I have always been a staunch ‘sustainable model' kind of guy, in keeping, you might say, with
my career as a no-nonsense, think with your head and not with your heart accountant.
However, recent events have made me stop and reflect on that ‘sustainability' stance.
The Chavs are now beginning to flex their obscene financial muscle, once again, in the transfer
market to re-stock their ageing squad while Citeh continuously threaten to hoover up any
footballing talent not securely nailed down after buying their first Premier League title, and even
the Spuds are beginning to flex Joe Lewis' chequebook.

Arsenal left-back Andre Santos has urged his teammates to end their seven-year trophy drought by
winning both the Barclays Premier League and the UEFA Champions League next season.
Santos, 29, impressed in glimpses during his first Premier League campaign last season but the
Brazilian admits that he is hungry to see improvements in his own game, as well as the collective
showing of the third-place Gunners.
Liverpool are reportedly lining up a move for Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott.
According to various English and European publications, new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers keen
to broker a deal.
Despite forming part of a City rearguard that helped the club to their first Premier League crown,
Lescott could be forced out of the club as Roberto Mancini looks to sign a new centre back.
In the aftermath of Manchester City's stunning finish, Manchester United will prepare to bounce
back after falling just short of their twentieth title. With City's first Premier League
championship since 1968, many believe that this could be the...
The talk surrounding Anfield is that Brendan Rodgers, the Swansea manager, is to take the reigns
in the next 48 hours.
Although many tipped Roberto Martinez to take charge, Liverpool turned their attention to
Rodgers after talks between the club and Martinez broke down.
However, will Liverpool strike gold with this appointment or will he turn out to be another
mistake to be added to the pile?

Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie scooped up one more award last week to add to his increasing
collection that already includes the Premier League Golden Boot, the PFA Player of the Year, and
the FWA Footballer of the Year for the 2011-2012 season.
RvP has now been honored for scoring the Gunners faithful's most favorite goal of last season,
with his stunning match-winning volley against Everton beating other impressive strikes from Mikel
Arteta and Thierry Henry.
With Manchester City bagging the Premier League title with almost the last kick of the season,
Manchester United defender Phil Jones believes he and the other young players at Old Trafford will
learn plenty from the experience.
It was a cruel way for the Red Devils to lose their domestic crown, with only goal difference
separating themselves and their neighbours after the final whistle at the Etihad Stadium.
Seasons Downs by SV Well, this long, exhausting, draining season is over at last. We have secured
what was our realistic objective at the start of our first Premier League game and have achieved
what was impossible after seven games of the season. Our hearts have been put through the

Liverpool thrash ChelseaRevenge was in the air tonight at Anfield.
Kenny Dalglish's team were determined to make Chelsea pay for the FA Cup Final defeat at Wembley
last Saturday.
The home side attacked Chelsea from the start, a big change in approach from the weekend, and it
paid off after 19 minutes when Luis Suarez ran into the box from the right and crossed the ball
which Michael Essien deflected into his own net to give Liverpool the lead.
TweetVincent Kompany's first-half header gave Manchester City a priceless 1-0 win over Manchester
United in the derby to go top of the Premier League with two games left. The win puts Roberto

after trailing their city rivals by [.
Poor old Roberto Mancini has seen his megabucks Man City side blow their chances of securing a
first Premier League title in recent weeks, a capitulation which has left the Italian a less than
happy bunny. However, despite all the pressure and stress, Mancini was still touched when he
received an unusual gift from eight-year-old City fan, Megan Kinghorn.
Chidge and the boys are joined by BlueBaby67 from the Chels.net and Oskar from the Swedish Blues to
discuss the wins against Villa and Benfica and all things Chelsea
A somewhat strange game at Villa, where Chelsea were 2-0 up and coasting for most of the match, and
then suffered a mad 5 minutes where we conceded two poor goals, but thankfully came out 4-2 winners
thanks to Two Goal Brana Ivanovic and Torres first Premier League goal for 6 months.
Liverpool and Arsenal on Sunday lunchtime meet at Anfield when both clubs will be looking for their
first Premier League wins of the season and Nuri Sahin could make his debut.
Neither side have yet to collect a three-point haul in the wake of eventful summers, which have set
both clubs into new eras.
Luis Suarez was the inspiration as Liverpool cruised into the final qualifying round of the Europa
League with a 3-0 win over FC Gomel - and it seems Joe Allen is about to provide further cheer for
the Anfield faithful.
After telling Swansea he wants to move north, Allen was present to watch Suarez create first-half
goals for Fabio Borini and skipper Steven Gerrard as the Belarus outfit proved no match for the
Merseyside giants.

Man City 3-2 QPR was an eventful game to say the least. Manchester City won their first Premier
League title in almost 40 years but the game will also be remembered for the actions of a former
Man City player. Joey Barton, who left the club in 2007, has been an enigma his whole career.
There's no doubt that Barton is a talented midfielder with a terrific range of passing combined
with the work rate and determination that every captain should possess but his temperament has
never improved with age.
