Championship Play Off Final

One of my favourite non Chelsea fixtures of the season today with the big one from Wembley,the Championship Play Off Final with the winners grabbing a place in the Premiership. On paper,Reading are the form team and with a Longy in their side,they are probably just favourites to win this. Manager Brian McDermott has performed a minor miracle since taking over last season when the club were bottom of that League so credit where credit is due.

However,I am rooting for the Swans today (probably because I had £20 on them to win the play-offs at 5/2!) Manager Brendan Rodgers of course has that Chelsea connection as has Scott Sinclair and on loan Italian star of the future,Fabio Borini so thats another reason I want them to win.

So my heart says Swansea but my head says Reading. It should be a good one!


EDIT: A great game won by Swansea 4 2. Chuffed to bits for them (and my wallet) A hat-trick for Chelsea old boy Scott Sinclair too. A deserved win and welcome to the Premier League Swansea City!

Carlo Ancelotti Sacked

Well that didn't take long did it? As long as it's not Avram Grant or Rafa Benitez and we have someone decent lined up,then I'm not too bothered to be honest. The way Chelsea treat their managers is a fucking joke though it has to be said.

Cheers for that Double Carlo and good luck in the future.

Censored!

Avram Grant Sacked

Millwall,Tottenham and Chelsea fans all over the world will be gutted by this terrible news. The man did a great job as predicted by yours truely :) The Championship will be a lot richer with the Caravan men in it and I'm not expecting to play them in the League for a very long time to come (sorry Lee!) I will really miss all of their two songs next season NOT!

Thank you Avram. Serves West Ham right for sacking the legend that is Gianfranco Zola (a man who actually kept them up) Gold,Sullivan and Brady,enjoy life in football's second tier. Enjoy your half empty (if your lucky) new Olympic stadium. Enjoy pitting your wits against Barnsley,Bristol City and Brighton. Who knows,if Alex McCleish can take Birmingham City down,you might be able to poach him for next season :)

The FA Cup Final

Congratulations to City on winning the Cup later today. Of course I don't know what City it is yet but you can bet your bottom dollar its either Manchester or Stoke. Man City are the bookies choice but my money is on Stoke who I think will spring a big surprise at Wembley. With this being Man City's biggest game for 35 years and Man Utd expected to lift the title at Blackburn in the 12.45 kick off,it would be so typical if Man City's big day was ruined.

Personally I don't care who wins (well I do actually as I've had a few quid on the Stokies!) but I do hope it's a good game. May the best team on the day win.

Oh and a big thumbs down to the FA for allowing Premier League games on the same day as the sacred FA Cup final. Yes we know it is the Champions League Final next Saturday but surely you could of put all this weekend's games on the Sunday. Luckily ours is Sunday so I won't miss the Cup Final but it is not the point. Punish football going fans why don't you. F.A. really does stand for Fucking Arseholes!


EDIT: I won't give up my day job. Congratulations Man City on a deserved win!

Manchester United vs Chelsea.....Can a miracle happen?

Who would of believed Chelsea are in this position now? After clawing back 12 points since we beat United at the Bridge back on March 1st,we are in the remarkable position of possibly stealing the League title off United. First we have to win at Old Trafford on Sunday. But can we do it? No League team have taken more top flight points off the Red Devil's on their own patch than Chelsea and we showed last season that when push comes to shove,we can go there and win. Am I confident? Am I fuck. Knowing Chelsea they will go there and win then hammer Newcastle at home only to fuck it up on the last day at Everton (one very recent boogie ground if ever there was one)

No I'm not confident at all but I am very pleased we are at least in this position. If United somehow don't win the title this season,then they have basically chucked it away and I just cannot see Fergie's men doing such a thing. Now I'm not one to wish injury on any player but if United do pick up minor knocks during their Champions League semi final 2nd leg to the likes of Rooney,Hernandez,Nani,Riggs,Park,Ferdinand,Vidic and Van der Sar,which keep them out of the Chelsea game,well you won't hear me complaining!

Whatever happens,its been an incredible end of the season for my boys. Thanks to a little help from a some dodgy lineman/refereeing (and Arsenal!) May the best team on the day triumph at OT on Sunday and may that team wear the Blue of Chelsea!
