Wednesday 22 August 2012

So the season is now fully underway. All the Premiership teams have played once (twice in Chelsea and Readings case) and the table looks like this currently

Pos Team Pld W D L GD Pts
1 Chelsea 2 2 0 0 4 6
2 Fulham 1 1 0 0 5 3
3 Swansea 1 1 0 0 5 3
4 West Brom 1 1 0 0 3 3
5 Man City 1 1 0 0 1 3
6 Newcastle 1 1 0 0 1 3
7 Everton 1 1 0 0 1 3
8 West Ham 1 1 0 0 1 3
9 Stoke 1 0 1 0 0 1
10 Arsenal 1 0 1 0 0 1
11 Sunderland 1 0 1 0 0 1
12 Reading 2 0 1 1 -2 1
13 Southampton 1 0 0 1 -1 0
14 Tottenham 1 0 0 1 -1 0
15 Aston Villa 1 0 0 1 -1 0
16 Man Utd 1 0 0 1 -1 0
17 Wigan 1 0 0 1 -2 0
18 Liverpool 1 0 0 1 -3 0
19 Norwich 1 0 0 1 -5 0
20 QPR 1 0 0 1 -5 0

Reading nearly caused an upset tonight but Chelsea proved to strong in the end. Before that though I think a mention must go to Everton for a fantastic performance against Man Utd on Monday night, Will they keep hold of Fellaini by the end of the transfer window? who knows but in Moyes they have one of the best managers in the country.

12/08/12 - Manchester City win the Charity Shield

FT: Chelsea 2-3 Man City

Manchester City win a feisty season opener against Chelsea today. The match ended 3-2 with Chelsea ending the game  with 10 men.

Chelsea took the lead after 40 minutes slightly against the run of play with City enjoying the opening exchanges. Things took a turn in City's favour though when Kevin Friend sent off Chelsea's Ivanovic for an over the top tackle on Kolarov shortly before half time. The game was all but over after City scored 3 goals in 12 second half minutes. Firstly Yaya Toure (53) levelled things up before Tevez (59) and Nasri (65) out city 3-1 up. Young Bertrand (80) pulled a goal back for Chelsea after an almighty mistake by Pantilimon in the City goal, but never looked like equalling and so City saw the game out to seal their fourth Charity Shield.

One of the talking points though will be the amount of cards in a so called friendly opening game. 1 red and 5 yellows for Chelsea with Man City ending with 3 yellows. Is this a sign of a competitive season in the premier league? or was it another showing of over the top refereeing from Kevin Friend? either way it was a cracking start to the season.

With the season soon to start I had best hurry to get the rest of the teams up there

Who do you think will win the Premier League this season? If the rumours are true about RVP going to Man Utd then they have got my vote. With him and Rooney up front together no team would like to play against them.
