Arsene Wenger finally gives up-after eight years without a trophy and a woeful start to the season, the immense pressure from the fans and media might be responsible for this being Wenger’s last season in charge of Arsenal, I feel the fans frustration will reach a boiling point at the end of the season with possible boycott being touted by some fan groups.
The manager knows how impatient the fans have become and I’m sure he has a plan B lined up in case he fails to deliver a much trophy at the end of this season with reports suggesting Laurent Blanc is only serving as a caretaker since the owners have made it clear remains their first choice for the managerial position citing his love for beautiful football display, eye for talents and financial discipline as a huge turn on, well this might be the year they finally get their man.
If his group of youngsters fails to add to the Emirates trophy cabinet at the end of the season, the pressure might too much for the gaffer to handle and might leave which bring the end of an era and an 8 year project that has attracted heavy criticism by both the media and fans. We’ll be watching but I strongly feel the Premier League will lose another longest serving manager for the second season in a row.
Mourinho’ second spell turn sour- I have this eerie feeling that Jose Mourinho’s dramatic return to Chelsea after a 7-year sabbatical wouldn’t go according to plan. Chelsea owner and fans are hinging their hopes of success based on fond memories of his first spell forgetting that a lot of water has passed under the bridge since that time. During Mourinho’s first spell he had a bunch of hungry players, I never saw groups that were so desirous of success, they all could sacrifice their right arm to hold on to a 1-0 win, their commitment and dedication was unquestionable.
This present Chelsea team unlike the 2004-06 team don’t play as a unit, has too many egos and the dressing room is a bit divided now and above all they lack that hunger that brought much success to the his other Chelsea team. Players like John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are still at the bridge but you’ll agree with me that they’re all past their best. At the end of this season the blues faithful might come to realize the full meaning of the saying “not all that glitters is gold”
Redundant first season for Goal line Technology-after years of controversies, debates and anticipation, goal line technology has become a reality in the English Premier League to put an end to years of injustices in the beautiful game, I still recall the 2005 season when Tottenham’s Pedro Mendes’ shot from just over the half way line that got the better of Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll who spilled the ball 2 yards over his line unfortunately Referee Mark Clattenburg and his assistant Rob Lewis were too far away from the incident to judge correctly therefore Mendes was denied an amazing goal and United escaped with a point.
Since that incident at Old Trafford in 2005,no season has passed without an incident that calls for the need for goal line technology(which incidentally has been used with immense success by other Sports for years) My prediction is this season will be free of any incident that will make us shout “what if it wasn’t there” the guys at Hawk Inc. will be praying this doesn’t happen.
Pellegrini breaks Man city’s CL first round jinx- after investing a fortune on players and wages for 5 years now, the owners desire to see Manchester City join the fray of European power houses, big time. It has become a norm to see the club fail at the first hurdle in their attempt to conquer Europe for the first time in their history.
Last season they were unlucky to be drawn against Spanish giants Real Madrid, eventual finalist Borussia Dortmund and Eredivisie Champions Ajax. This season they’ve spent £100 million on 5 signings which include Brazil International and former Shaktar Donetsk midfielder Fernandinho, the owners, fans and players will be hoping for a kind draw this time around but I really fancy “the Engineer” to guide the club to their first Champions League second round berth.

The writer of this article is daft and stupid . No facts to prove what u wrote .think of something else to do .
Gunner 4 lilfe, we still love the manager our problem to him, he don’t want to spend that’s all
hmmm. thumb up. So close to my predictions too. And Liverpool fc will regain the top four slot.
The crinkum crankum on chelsea is that Mourinho’s over-sabi might get us free ticket to Europa league not champions league of next year.
You are as daft as the writer of this article.Where has ego taken place since Jose took over,games played since the beginning of the season has shown what a world class coach he is and he can bring the best out of his players.I sure know you are not a Chelsea fan,either Arsenal or Utd.Mind you,cfc is a top club with qualities and experience to shake Europe.Wait and see what happens come May,then you would see reality and not hatred for chelsea football club or Mourinho.U haters,go to hell.

I only hope arsenal could lift trophy dis c-sean with d help of ozil.
Wenger has said that he would suprise people especilly the fans and he did.So,what next now is the trouph(s) which I believe will be possible especially signing Ozil €50 which is a marquee signing they’ve been saying.Up gunners.
well I sincerely pray you read this sean. uncultured people must surely shows that they are stupid good that you shew you are…. You were not forced to comment here and if you are for abusive display, why not pick a mad man on the street that I think is your match….
Well, That is my stand as a football lover and a fan of chelsea, veracious football lover will agree with me that the starting team mourinho wants to use is not as strong and competent as last season’s. Bringing in new recruits ahead of those who has blend into the game of EPL is an over sabi on my part. But the end justifies. More so it is my opinion you are entitled to yours too no crucifiction and I dont see any reason for a fool to start running his filthy fingers on his phone typing stupid comment from his parochial heart on my comment. Sean beast.
Let’s watch the games its too early to start the predictions the end justifies the means . You views are very much personal how I had wished the coaches are hearing or getting you views the only thing that remains constant is change, so soccer lovers let their be a change both at the soccer pitch and fans attitude (friendship) a common gaol
Hmmm….jst glad tu c a new face at oldtraford. Its nice tu have a player of his quality after a disappionting chase for cesc..thiago and andrea.nw our season can begin
Kudos to boss wenger. The man has don it,for over 8 years we are waiting to see such a marqee signing until this year of blessing. We are now blessed with a goal digger (chances creator Mesut Ozil)and the next is trophies.
This write is a genius,mourinho has past his best,chelsea fans are just noisy and foolish(if u reply me with harshy u re equally as foolish like your father) I see chelsea going trophyless.
Everybody is entitled to his/her opinion. This is mine: (1). Mourinho is likely to fail in his first season in his 2nd missionary journey but that doesn’t make him a failure as he is building a team for tomorrow. (2). Super four will remain unchanged but not necessarily be like last season’s log. (3). Man United will most likely lose the EPL trophy but may win another one. (4). Liverpool will perform better than last season and will have a good season. (5). Arsenal will fight for the trophy but may not win it as their best chance to trophy could be either FA cup or League cup but may win it in the next campaign provided they keep investing. (6). EPL is open to every team in the top four during the last campaign.

Am Sure That Arsenal We Win The Premier League.just To Supraise Oder Fan The We Are The Best
