Premiership: Boxing Day Comments

Chelsea's troubles do not seem to be over although they seemed to just rescue a victory from the jaws of giantkillers Fulham. Let's hear it now from all those clever dicks who were brown nosing Ancelotti if they are still as confident about Chelsea odds to win it this year. Without Drogba at the CAN and Anelka out injured, it might be quite tricky to maintain the form of the season start. Scolari, anyone?

Birmingham is confirming its series of good results with 4 points out of 6 (1 at home from Chelsea and a hard earned win at Stoke that usually does not concede). Not least thanks to the excellent performances of midfielder Lee Bowyer and the determined Jerome.

Liverpool is so lucky... very lucky against plucky Wolves who were confident in holding the ball and creating chances but shockingly lacking in the quality of their final touch (and also against Man U), and again against Villa tonight, who thereby return to their mid-table ways of inconsistency (1 out of 6 points).

Spurs look strong with 4 out of 6 points and the return of Luka Modric but should have done better against Fulham.

Can't believe Arsenal could be within 1 point of Chelsea... go Portsmouth (for once I think I am supportive of Avram), go Bolton, go Klasnic!!!

And City finally showing some of that star quality statistically - 6 points out of 6, 5 goals scored, 2 clean sheets, Mancini's head must be blowing up large like this guy's.

The prediction that this season is going to be tight seems the most relevant still as the big boys continue to drop points all over the place and also in the most unlikely places.
