So who’s for the dreaded drop-down?

AT the time of writing, Chelsea have yet to play their crucial match at Newcastle United, so title race talk will have to wait until next week when the outcome will be known for certain.  more >

Chelsea’s season has defied logic

IT was very much in keeping with Chelsea’s season that Michael Ballack should be the man with the goals in their 2-1 win over Manchester United.  more >

Title race goes to the wire

WHEN Carlos Tevez equalised at Ewood Park on Saturday, he highlighted just how narrow the margins have become at the top of the Premier League this season.  more >

Moscow dream fires Fergie but it’s all woe for Wenger

THE second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Liverpool and Arsenal offered just about everything you could ever expect to see on a big European night.  more >

Big boys suffer by Boro’s best results

AFTER a relatively quiet start since his arrival in January, it took a day of brutal north-east England weather for a boy from Brazil to start making an impact in the Premier League.  more >

Gunners lose hope but Blues give chase

AS the dust settles on the most crucial weekend of the Premier League season so far, it seems unbelievable to look back now and reflect that even before we’d reached the end of August, Manchester United went into a match amid the prevailing view that if they didn’t win, they might already have left themselves too much ground to make up in the title race.  more >

IT wouldn’t have made any difference in terms of which division they’ll be playing in next season, but the point which Derby County were 15 minutes away from taking off the champions on Saturday would at least have given them one heady day to remember, when their brief stay in the Premier League is over.  more >

Harry’s up for the cup

EVEN with so much to admire about Arsenal this season, I’ve always had this niggling feeling that at some point it might all start to unravel for them.  more >

Here come the good times ... we hope!

There was no element of surprise left by the time it happened, but there was still something surreal about actually hearing the words coming out of David Blood’s mouth last Wednesday.  more >

Leave well alone and forget this going global lark

SOME years ago, a few English friends of mine were on holiday in Thailand, and went to a bar to watch Manchester United play Liverpool. One of them got chatting to one of the locals, who asked what team he supported back home.  more >

Expect the best title fight for some years

IT’S a rare day when supporters of Arsenal and Tottenham are both cheering for the same thing, but Saturday was one such day.  more >

For once, let’s give the FAI a break

SOMETIMES, just for a little while, it’s actually possible to have a bit of sympathy for the FAI.  more >

Keegan’s remit? Win a trophy, any trophy!

SOMEWHERE along the way, every season throws up one story which gets everyone excited.  more >
