Yo soccer fans!

The season is almost coming to a close and suprisingly, Man Utd seems to slip up towards the end of the season, 2 defeats in a row allow Liverpool to close up the gap to just 1pt although Man Utd did had 1 game in hand. Man Utd must win the 1 game in order to increase the gap to a healthy 4pts. In my opinion, I do Man Utd still had a higher chance of getting the BPL title because of that 1 game in hand, but as a non-liverpool and non-Man Utd fan, I hope that Portsmouth beats Man Utd, because that will make the title race a more interesting one.

Liverpool seems to have consistent performance recently, beating Real Madrid and Man Utd by a big margin and even trashed Aston Villa 5-0. Rafa Benitez seems to had found the best formation for Liverpool, he doesn't really rotate that much and didn't really rely solely on Gerrard, they work as a team and all the 3 positions did contirbute to the current success. Another thing is that Rafa knows who to buy during the transfer window, he brought Torres, Riera,Skrtel, Dossena, Mascherano, N'Gog, EL Zhar,etc did not dissapoint the fans and him.

For Man Utd, they need to make full use of that 1 game in hand to have a higher chance of getting the title. Vidic and Rooney red card really de-morale the whole squad and C.Ronaldo low form really is another reason why Man Utd perform below average in this few matches. I already said (Before the creation of this blog) that Man Utd depends deeply on Ronaldo to win most of the games last season, once he did not perform, there is no one else that can score goal. Rooney, Berbatov and Tevez really had a disappointing match against Liverpool and Fulham. I really do think that Man Utd should not too rely on Ronaldo or maybe a certain player. International break would be a gd one for player to divert their attention away from the defeats but really a risky one because at this crucial period, Man Utd and Liverpool can't afford to have the main players to have any injuries.

Arsenal meanwhile had a gd run of form recently, they finally over take Aston Villa and have increased the gap to 3pts. Arshavin really is a gd addition to the squad and his performance did really helped Arsenal in the victory of some recent games, especially the Blackburn one. All the injured player had return; Walcott, Eduardo, Fabregas and Adebayor will be return after the international break and really increase the chances of getting at least a silverware this season. They reached the FA cup semi-final and Champion league quarter final. I really hope to see Arsenal getting the Champion league title. They face Villarreal which I think many of the Arsenal fans will be delighted, because if Arsenal were drawn to face Bayern Munich, Barcelona or any other English side, the chances of them getting into the semi-final will be lower because they are top clubs. I am not saying Villrreal is not a gd teams, they do have quality players but Arsenal have won them before and this can be an addition confidence for Arsenal. FA cup semi-final against Chelsea will be a hard one but I had full confidence on Arsenal since all the main players have returned.

Aston Villa had a poor run and really if they wants to fight for a Champion league next season, they need to bring in more experienced players to rotate ard so that playes might get to rest to prevent injuries and stamina problems. They do have chances to overtake Arsenal because it is only a 3pts gap but I think that they will had a hard time in chasing back. Aston Villa and Everton will be sitting firmly on the UEFA cup spots, if Aston Villa wants the Champion league spot, they need to start winning games and pray that Arsenal lose pt, especially Arsenal still had other compeition to manage and this might be an advantage for Aston Villa to had any chance of playing Champion league football next season. Agbonlahor , Ashely Young, Petrov, Milner, Heskey, Knight, Brad Friedel will be the players that are crucial in this race to the CL spot.
