Premiership +

"You can stick the blue flag up your arse," are many people's sentiments but aren't the best clubs up there to be shot at? Man U and old hairdryer were when they ruled the roost for years. Boring, boring Arsenal were when they were champs, it was even said that Blackburn bought the title when they won it under Kenny Daglish.

So now we have Chelski and their self-obsessed manager. When he first turned up at Stamford Marshes and declared he was the "chosen one" people laughed but he earnt begrudging respect by building a team that Claudio Ranieri couldn't. He was honest and different in front of the TV camera's. We needed someone else. We were bored of the hairdryer's hatred of anything anti United. We were bored of Arsene "I didn't see it" Wegner and us non-Chelsea fans took to Mourinho. That was until recently.

Frankly I personally am bored now of Jose. It seems his shit don't smell and as Sir Bobby Robson said recently: "His talent is not so special that he's never going to lose a football match fairly and squarely." He needs to calm down a bit, shut up once in a while and respect us not so special ones!

Winning the Premiership after spending a gazillion pounds is not that clever, particularly with main rivals Arsenal, United and Liverpool all in rebuilding mode. For all the money in Russia, Chelski have still not done anything in Europe and are gleaning a reputation of ruining young players careers by having them lounge in the well, players lounge. Parker, Johnson, Bridge, Wright-Phillips should all have been England world cup certs this summer. Robert Huth too is another who would benefit from playing more regularly and not just collecting the dirty lucre.

The delusional Spurs fans have quite rightly been inspired by Martin Jol. He too has spent a fair few pennies but has been sensible in his approach. Apart form buying that cry baby Danny Murphy mind.

Huddlestone, Dawson, Lennon and Mido have all been great signings and what has he done with Robbie Keane? Judas Defoe of course can be left to rot. It would be a shame if Spurs didn't make the Champions League, but I expect Arsenal to clinch it and even Blackburn to be in with a shout. They have the best run in of all the top 7.

Bolton, West Ham, Man City and I think Everton could all still have a say in the UEFA Cup race, although I wonder if it is really worth it? Bolton & Middlesbro have had terrific runs this season but their European night attendances have been appalling and they, particularly Boro' deserve better.

At the bottom, I think it is fair to say that Sunderland are down! I like Mick McCarthy but I think like Dave Bassett, Peter Taylor and Joe Royle, League One is their managerial level. Big Mick did sign some pony though didn't he? Tommy Miller, Nyron Noseworthy, Danny Collins, Andy Gray, Anthony Le Tallec and Jon Stead, who has yet to score in 24 games! These players have proved that there is a big step up in class needed at Prem level.

Pompey will follow the Black Cats and how will this effect 'Arry's stock? Laughing stock more like with 2 relegations in 2 seasons.

Then the last place is between West Brom and Birmingham. Two well considered English managers. Birmingham have spent a ton of money too but its a dismal place at the present. Their game in hand is vital but West Brom scrapped to safety last season and that will give them the advantage.
