Bloggy McBloggerson

So, I haven’t blogged in a long while.
This is for a number for reasons, can’t be bothered being the main one.
I just thought that now would be a good time to ask a few questions and see what people think.

We are getting in to the busy stage of the footballing year, with what seems a game a day on the TV (with streams of course) and this can cause us all to lose more money than we have on those pesky accumulators.....
As well as losing of our 25p fifteen-folds there are also a few talking points in the Premier League.

We have seen Danny Murphy talk about tackling, we have had many players put their pundit hats on and talk a load of rubbish.
Since John Terry’s outburst in South Africa -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAjxqn7e5bk&feature=fvw
It seems that players want to talk about managers, referees and contracts to the press, and this can only spell joy for me, as a practicing sports journalist.

The Terry outburst in the World Cup was amazing, not many people believed the team was ‘unhappy’ with the Capello regime until the former England skipper came out and told us all what was going on behind the scenes in Bafokeng, South Africa the five-star complex that our so called ‘world-class’ players were hidden away from for the campaign that was an utter failure.

Although it had six state of the art pitches, pools and gym for players, chill-out areas, luxury rooms, two bars...and no WAGs the current England boss could do no better than the second round with the squad that was ‘the best yet’ according to many, but was nothing more than another bunch of flops after a dismal showing in the Southern Hemisphere.

This was a fair outburst by Terry, but what many pro’s of past and present said was that he went at it the wrong way. I think that instead of doing it at the press conference just before the second game, he should’ve gone at it a different way, like wait for the group stages to be over and then it takes the next game – which happened to be against the old rivals (2 world wars and one World Cup) Germany – this way the squad might have had less pressure on their shoulders, as expectations would’ve dropped, but by doing it then England beating Slovenia, the ONLY win of the tournament, it gave fans, including myself false hope.

Anyway enough of the rant about the crappy performances, it was a Micky Mouse cup anyway – the reason I am writing this blog is to find out predictions.

Chelsea look very good, can they be caught?

Man City – inconsistency is going to be their downfall

Liverpool – what is going on? What do they need, or who do they need?

Manchester United/Wayne Rooney – was it a publicity stunt that went wrong for Wayne?

Promoted sides – Will they survive?

New managers- Grant, Hodgson and Houllier – how are they doing?

These of course are open questions, but over the next few weeks I am hoping I can take time out of my busy 3rd year schedule to answer them, and pretty much just give me something to do.

So there we go, very mixed bag, completely gone off topic (a little like my university essays) but there is a lot of potential here for some interesting reading and hopefully eye catching writing.
