Premier League............Relegation Prospects
Having already discussed the 2 previous groups, 'The European Battle' and 'The Potential Upset'.Today's topic might not last as long the previous. Pompy obviously looks like the most probably relegation candidates, Having lost most of their players, they have only managed a win throughout the season, thus far.However the sale of their club may prove a turn-around for them as from January, as their owner is planning to pump in 50m dollars by then.Wolverhampton might have started above expectations, but i strongly believe they'll be part of this year's down battle.They only remind me of last season's hull city, whom i also feel would be part of the relegation battle.Even those i consider as part of the potential upset could eventually be there.The likes of West Ham, Blackburn & Bolton could also grace this same fate.I left Burnley out because I strongly believe they have what it takes to be in the league atleast for another year. However things might not really end up as predicted, There's always room for a few surprises here and there. Til' Tomorrow

Premier League....Champions League Spot Battle.....More Potential Upset (PART 2)
Yesterday, we reviewed the present situation and the potential 'Top 4' candidates this season.Today, we'll review the present clubs that can cause potential upsets to the teams we discussed yesterday.Thereby, stirring up competitions for the 8 teams discussed previously.Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Everton, Aston Villa & Tottenham obviously looks like the most likely teams for europe spots this season (Champions League & Europa League).How they will finish remains another thing entirely.Although, games against each other will definately determine their respective seasons.However, some games against these teams(i regard as potential upsets) will definately spice up their seasons. While this 'potential upsets' might not be teams who can win consistently, they are teams that can prove stubborn, squeeze points, or atimes even win games.
First of cause is Fulham, Europa League participants of this term, are obviously the closest to the 'Potential Top 8'.They probably might be edged out by the fact that they are playing 3 competitions at a time, which is not the case of the City Billionaires(Who will play 2 at a time).They also don't have that recent record that can see them likely top 8 this season.Last season, they proved their resilience.They also should have gotten points from their early Arsenal game this term, if not for Vito Mannone's excellent performance.
Burnley, yet to lose a point at home this season, are another team to look out for this season.Among their home victories include defending champions,Man Utd.Their early Home fortress, could be prove a basis for their success this term. Another team to watch out for is West Ham, they are always capable of spring up upsets especially for their London rivals. They have played well this term and have lost some points they could have picked, considering their games e.g Tottenham.
Sunderland is another possible team that can cause an upset, this has already been highlighted with their recent Man Utd game were they almost pulled all 3 points before Anton's own goal.Stoke City,last terms performance also shows they could pull some great upsets also, Other teams are Blackburn, Bolton,Birmingham and Wigan
Still more to come tomorrow, when the point of discussion will be the relegation possible teams

Premier League.:..........Champions League Battle..:.More Potential Upsets PART ONE
With the Premiership in its 8th week, The table is already telling how the season might look like. Teams springing up here and down there, I guess the only team that hasn't yet sprung a surprise is Pompey. Portsmouth FC having sold many of the starting players(Crouch, Defoe, Kranjar, Sol,Etc),one could easily expect the kinda fate that they are already getting.
Other than them every other team to some extent, have improved on somewhat their early season expectations. While there were grumblings over the Ronaldo's departure,Man Utd have still found ways to get points out of games (even though the team is obviously not as strong as the last term's).Arsenal have again proved their attacking prowess by scoring the highest in the league so far, a 6-1 and 6-2 against everton and blackburn respectively are particular highlight.Looking at it from the view that arsenal didn't start well last term.Chelsea undoubtly depends on their team spirit.Without any major signings, have so far strenghted their team spirit. So far, it has worked for them, esp in the case of Drogba and Anelka.A new manager, a new mentality, see them occupy the top spot so far in this campaign. Well, time would tell Ancelotti's success, as his successor slipped off focus after some outstanding wins early last season.
Liverpool's inconsistentency though is still a problem.Having lost their 3rd game, it puts them in a tight corner, especially when you consider that every point dropped, might prove vital in the latter stages this season.Liverpool too face strong threats from the likes of Villa, Man City, Everton, and Tottenham.Man City, have dropped only 5 points.With a game in hand, the could go straight to 2nd if they and Chelsea don't drop points before the play their in hand game.Tottenham also are a team to watch this season having improved, especially with their attacking back into last-minute goal scoring forms.The Villans too are candidates for the big four breakdown.Having almost done that last term,The still look like a threat, especially after beating liverpool and drawing man city.Everton, having the brightest record of doing the same.Unfortunately having started badly would still be expected to pull be there and then by the end of May.
Join me again as i continue tomorrow, When we'll discuss the more potential upsets (the average teams)

First Post..........English League Is The Ultimate league
English league is the european ultimate league. As at some few years back it maybe wasn't the same, but now its different.English teams have always produced at least 2 clubs at the semi finals to grace europe's most top league, The Champions League.The Departure of the world stars (Ibrahamovic, Ronaldo, Kaka, with the ones already)to the spanish league have made their league less competitive, thereby giving way to English as the most competitive, with the likes of man city, tottenham, everton, and aston villa all lined up for the Champions League Spot.
