A weekly blog about international football.
Well, it was quite a week in the Premier League.

Manchester United was the main topic of discussion among media and fans.

After United lost 3-2 to Brighton on Sunday, (Aug. 19), football insiders were quick to criticize the team.

Former Liverpool player, Danny Murphy, predicted that Man. U's manager, Jose Mourinho, is not going to last the rest of the season. (read Aug 20 article - "Man. U's Manager's Job Is On The Line").

As the week went on, there was more mud slinging about the team and the players.

The latest, the fans plan to fly a banner at this week's game against Burnley, showing their dismay over Ed Woodward and the team's ownership.

Now to more positive news. Well, to me that is.

My team Chelsea is 2-0 after defeating Arsenal 3-2 on Saturday (Aug 18).

I have to say, though, Chelsea was lucky to win the match. The team allowed Arsenal to bounce back from a 2-0 deficit.

Chelsea plays Newcastle United this week.

Manchester City are on a roll. City hammered newly promoted Huddersfield Town 6-1.

Huddersfield are now 0-2 and is dead last in the Premier Division.

Good news for France's PSG. Despite not being in the starting line up, Kylian Mbappe scored his first two goals of the new season off the bench against Guingamp.

Finally this week, Germany's Bundesliga opens there season this weekend.
Tottenham's Title Hopes Are Now Slim.
February 28, 2019 at 4:10pm
Before I get to Tottenham, I got some transfer news to share. Aymeric Laporte has signed a two-year contract extension with Manchester City. Rumor has it that Barcelona is eying Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford. Also, Barcelona has Jordi Alba to a five-year contract. Now for the big shocker of the week. Tottenham lost to Chelsea yesterday 2-0. The loss means that the chances of Tottenham winning the English Premier League title this year are becoming slim. Tottenham&#... [Read more]
Sarri's Job In Jeopardy, Quarter-Finals Set
February 21, 2019 at 4:45pm
After promising results in the beginning of the season, Chelsea's manager, Maurizio Sarri's job is now on the line. Chelsea's performance lately on the pitch has been terrible lately. The team was humiliated by Manchester City almost two weeks ago and then the team was eliminated from the F.A. Cup tournament this past Monday by Manchester United. Football insiders are predicting that Sarri is not going to be manager next year. Speaking of the F.A. Cup., the quarter-finals... [Read more]
Legendary Keeper Dead At 81. Chelsea Now In Sixth
February 14, 2019 at 7:13pm
Unfortunately, I start off this entry with sad news. Legendary goalkeeper, Gordon Banks has passed away at age 81. Banks was a member of England's World Cup winning squad in 1966. In other news, Arsenal's midfielder, Aaron Ramsey, has signed a four year contract with Italian club, Juventus. Manchester City is now tied with Liverpool for first place in the English Premier League after a 6-0 over Chelsea. Sergio Aguaro had another hat trick. Two weeks in a row. Mancheste... [Read more]
This Week In Football Was The Cat's Meow
February 7, 2019 at 2:04pm
It was a wild and wacky week in football. The biggest story of the week had nothing to do with the play on the field. The Everton/Wolves match was disrupted by a black cat wondering its way onto the pitch. The cat refused to get off the field. It took five to ten minutes to chase away the feline. BBC Sports announcer, Steve Bower, remained calm, but still had a little fun with the incident. Chelsea made up for their terrible loss to Bournemouth last week by crushing Huddersfiel...
