Post World Cup:Same Chelsea,different manager

Good day everyone Long time no hear.Sorry for the long absence, university kept me busy and also there was the World Cup, which was won by France (félicitations les Bleus).Anyway I thought it was the best World Cup ever with so many goals and controversial decisions (thanks to VAR) and the atmosphere in Belgium was amazing whenever Les Diables Rouges played. Well done to them for finishing 3rd (their best ever finish). I most definitely enjoyed watching Belgium play England,they definitely had their number and it also saw the return of the famous song "football is coming home",but fair play to them,nobody expected them to go beyond the last 16.In Gareth Southgate,they have a good young manager who wasnt afraid to pick youngsters,Cant wait to see how the team will do in the next couple of years. The most disappointing teams have to be Spain and Argentina.I mean who changes their manager 1 day before the World Cup? Thats unprofessional in my opinion and Argentina,for all ...

Chelsea: From champions to chumps

Hey everyone and happy Easter break So sorry for the silence.Being a Masters student in journalism keeps one on their toes constantly. Just thought I'd talk a little bit about about my team Chelsea, soon to be dethroned by Manchester City as early as this weekend if they win the Manchester derby . Anyway back to Chelsea. This has been on record one of the worst seasons,well 2015-16 was lot worse after finishing 10th. But my goodness, its really hard being a Chelsea fan these days .Dumped out of Europe by a fantastic FC Barcelona, lost in the semis of the Carabao cup to Arsenal and top 4 slipping away, not even winning the FA Cup will spare Antonio Conte, who looks certain to leave in May. I'll be forever grateful for changing Chelsea and making them champions again but at times he's been tactically outdone (Arsenal home and away,Man City home and away just to name a few) Also the recruiting of players has been abysmal. Why would you sell Matic to your direct rivals ? or...

2018 already? How time flies

Good day everyone First of all, compliments of 2018 to you and yours. Hope you all had a great 2017.May 2018 be the year of success Sorry for the long silence.My Masters programme kept me busy all year hence I was unable to post on my blog consistently ,but worry no more,I'll try to be more consistent this year . Anyway I'm going to talk about Chelsea's season so far and to be honest its been disappointing,15 points behind Man City,losing to Arsenal on Wednesday and a UCL match against Barca in 3 weeks.The months of February and march will make or break Chelsea's season.At least the FA Cup is something that can be won this year.Hopefully in the summer Chelsea will spend big and be able to compete.Thankfully we arent in 10th place, o its better than 2-3 years ago Yesterday's win against Newcastle was a good response to Wednesday's defeat and Michy Batshuayi defenitely was my man of the match with his brace and that wonderful free-kick by Marcos Alonso (n...
