THE TOP 4..

Manchester United

It seems to me that Manchester United is going off with the Premiership title this season. It's no doubt that they are producing results even when they aren't not playing well. Just like last match they played at Craven Cottage, they wasn't playing well and yet they could get the important 3 points. Although I'm a Liverpool fan, and I hate to see them doing so well in the league, I still have to salute them for their consistency this season. Sir Alex Ferguson has the most experience in chasing the title and at the same time producing the results week in week out. With just 10 more games to go, it's getting clear that they are almost there.

Their best player, Christiano Ronaldo, who has been performing at the highest level for them, is no doubt the man of the season. His dribbling skills are world-class and his ability to beat defenders is a valuable asset for Man Utd. 16 goals in the premiership and his form has been consistent. That's what makes him such an important player for Man Utd. As long as he stays on his feet, he would be one of the best players in the world.

Of course, ManUtd also have several experienced players which played an important role in their season so far. Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Edwin VanDerSaar and the defensive partnership of Vidic and Ferdinand. Not to forget, Wayne Rooney. Still, the man who's behind all these successes is Sir Alex Ferguson. Man Utd's following match will be up against my beloved Liverpool and without any doubts, our bitter rivals would be looking forward to do a double against us and making sure they maintain the 9 points gap above Chelsea.(With one game in hand.)


Chelsea

To be frank, I thought Chelsea would be leading the table at this moment. Given the players they have and bought, they should be leading with the rest chasing. However, Chelsea somehow didn't perform up to expectations and is currently second place. For the last 2 seasons, Chelsea haven't been doing the chasing, but for now, they are 9 points away from 1st place ManUtd with a game in hand. Jose Mourinho had some problems internally and I guess these management conflicts among the board and players did play some part in their league form. No doubt about their quality of the team, they were simply world class. They will definitely push ManUtd to the limit and really hopes to see ManUtd slips, however, I think it would be really difficult.

The man of the moment is Didier Drogba. The Ivory Coast striker is superb for them and has been scoring many goals for them. Many times, he always appears the man to rescue Chelsea and Jose knows that his man is a valuable to them. Drogba is very good in the air and of course, he has two good feet. Strong and he always seems to know where's the net is. Just hope to see him more sporting and stop putting "Oscar shows."

Chelsea will be breathing down ManUtd's neck and to be frank, I would rather to see Chelsea taking the title than Man Utd. I just wait and see..


Arsenal

Like Liverpool, they underperformed in many occasions and hence, finding themselves in the fourth position so far. I love to see Arsenal style of football and I can say that they play good football on the pitch. They have a very good coach, Arsene Wenger. A man who knows how to bring out the best of his players and without doubt, he's building Arsenal's future. His young guns have proven that they can match one of the best and his players are internationals who played for their countries in tournaments. Although their results and position in the league aren't that good at the moment, I still believe that Arsenal is a great team.


Cesc Fabregas. The young Spanish lad who I admire he has matured and played his football over the years. He improve tremendously and his passing, oh yes, I think is one of the best in the league. At such a young age, he can perform so well and seems so calm on the ball even on a big stage of football. No doubt, he's a talent, a wonder kid. He is one of the legends in the making and as long as he remain disciplined and keeps his head up, he will be a winner.

Arsenal will try to overtake Liverpool and given 2 games in hand, they will push themselves as high as possible in the league.


Liverpool

Liverpool has been disappointing in the league and although they had put a run recently, they couldn't close the gap between the top 2. Liverpool has lost too many matches and their early away matches somehow has cost them badly. They struggled against the top 4 and lost all the matches away against them. Liverpool need to have the breakthrough of performing consistently, week in week out and producing results even when the team is not playing well. This is what we called a championship team. We need to improve on the team and a few good signings would be just nice for us. Rafa Benitez is arguably one of the best in the country and I just couldn't understand why he just can't get it right like what he did in Europe. I can see his efforts and disappointment when the team didn't play to their potential. Still, I have the utmost faith in him and till now, I still believe he's the man who can bring us the 19th title after so many years.

Steven Gerrard has been magnificent and he's performing well each week. He's great captain and always portrays a good image and example to his teammates. That's something I really respect about him. He's definitely disappointed not to see Liverpool fighting on the top like any other Liverpool fans however, I'm still looking forward to the day when Stevie lifts the Premiership title at Anfield.

Upcoming game against Manchester United. Although I believe this game won't not have much impact on us, I still love to see us putting one over our bitter rivals and the title race would be more open. We have to work really hard and make sure that we can stay on 3rd spot and gives pressure on Chelsea and even Manchester United.

I've faith in you, Liverpool.

You'll Never Walk Alone..
