It's finally March

Good evening

Happy New Month to my loyal readers!Lets be thankful as we approach Autumn here and my friends across the sea look forward to Spring


Last weekend was the best for me as Chelsea beat Spurs 2-0 to win the Capital One Cup and a first trophy since 2013.As they say "revenge is sweet".2008 was miserable as Chelsea lost 2 cup finals;first to Spurs then to Man Utd in UCL.

Anyway I was celebrating like a madman when the final whistle blew and I enjoyed seeing Jose Mourinho celebrate like a 'kid'.Such wonderful scenes.I believe now its the start of the second coming for Chelsea and "The Happy One".I dont see Man City catching up to the Blues and Champions League,the team can go far if they get past PSG next week and get a favorable draw in the quarter-finals.

So I got it wrong with my predictions.Indeed Man City were blown away by Barca and Luis Suarez and I dont see them overturning the tie.Juventus were lucky to win 2-1 againt Borussia Dortmund and I believe the tie is well in the balance.

SO here are my predictions:
Chelsea2-0PSG
Barcelona2-1Man City
Bor Dortmund2-1 Juventus
Porto2-0 FC Basel
Monaco1-2 Arsenal
Bayern Munich 2-0Shakthar Donetsk
Athletico 2-1 LBayer Leverkusen
Real Madrid2-0Schalke04

Oh and there are midweek games in the EPL this week.I'll give my predictions tomorrow but I can confidently say that the top 4 will all win tomorrow

Feel free to comment/give your view on anything related to football

Thank you and goodnight

Chelsea v Everton:Kai Havertz impresses in crucial win for the Blues

Image
 Good evening everyone I hope you are well and having a good start to the week. Sorry for the radio silence. It has been a busy couple of weeks, but I'm back now. After winning at Anfield against Liverpool on Thursday night, Chelsea earned a much needed win against Merseyside team Everton on Monday night. The victory puts the Blues in touching distance of Leicester City (3 points) and Manchester United (4 points). So thats 9 games unbeaten in the league for Thomas Tuchel, who has definitely turned things around at Stamford Bridge since his arrival in January.  One  of the positive elements on Monday night was the performance of Kai Havertz. The big money signing from Bayer Leverkusen has flattered to deceive this season but the arrival of the German tactician has definitely improved his performances. Despite not scoring (well his goal was awarded as a Ben Godfrey own goal), he played really well as a false 9 along with fellow countryman Werner, who could have scored a hat...

Champions League: What a week of drama

Image
  Copyright fr.uefa.com Good afternoon everyone I hope you are all well and enjoying the last few weeks of the summer holidays,albeit in difficult circumstances. So the UEFA Champions League made its return 2 weeks ago with 2nd leg ties that still  needed to be played like Chelsea v Bayern Munich, Lyon v Juventus and Manchester City v Real Madrid and boy were there surprises with Lyon making it past the Italian Champions despite a 2-1 defeat and of course the end of Maurizio Sarri's tenure as head coach. Bayern Munich and Man City qualifying werent really shocks as the damage was done in the 1st leg, at least for Chelsea but thats not the exciting part.So for the first time ever 2 French teams in the semis and PSG's first semi final appearance since 1995.  Last Wednesday saw PSG come from behind to defeat Atlanta 2-1 with Marquinhos and Choupo-Moting gettting the goals. Credit to the French champions for digging in deep and not giving up. Now they have a semi final date w...

Chelsea v Southampton: 2 points dropped by the Blues

Image
 Good afternoon everyone  I hope you're well and had a good weekend. So what a dramatic weekend of football we had starting with the Merseyside derby and it continued with Chelsea-Southampton which finished 3-3 after the Saints managed to grab a point at the death thanks to Vestergaard. Once again Chelsea fail to kill off a match and this will cost them dearly come end of the season. Where do I begin? oh yes the defence. With Mendy injured, Kepa was put in the starting XI to prove his worth to the coach and he failed the test. With Thiago Silva being left out with Sevilla to come in midweek it was the duo Zouma-Christiansen and I wasnt convinced one bit. Thankfully Lamaprd will be able to call on him for tomorrow's match and with Man United to come at the weekeend,it'll be interesting to see which team he sends out tomorrow night at the Bridge.Glad that Werner got a double and Havertz scored as well. Hopefully this is the beginning of great things to come. Sevilla will also...
