Title Race

Manchester United still sit atop of the EPL table, but a draw after a 4-4 draw with Everton, find themselves just three points ahead of Manchester City.  The reduction of their lead has had much to do with the resurgence of Roberto Mancini's side, as City have regained the form needed to make the chase for the title a two-horse race.  

As far back as I can remember, this year's title pursuit has been the most exciting for in recent history. Although it's become strictly the battle of Manchester, both side have hit form worthy of claiming the trophy come May 13th.


Below are the predictions I made after the January transfer window closed

Table Predictions

1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City 
3. Tottenham 
4. Arsenal

Relegation 
18. Wolverhampton 
19. Blackburn
20. Wigan


As the standing currently sit, Wolverhampton has already been relegated after their defeat by Manchester City at the weekend.  If the league was to end today, they would be joined by Bolton and Blackburn Rovers. 

If the season ended today, this would be the final standings. 

Top 4 

1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City
3. Arsenal
4. Newcastle United

Bottom 3

18. Blackburn 
19. Bolton FC 
20. Wolverhampton 

The way I see the season panning out, it will be an extremely wild ride.  I encourage all football followers to keep a close on the title race, as we know that almost nothing is a given in the Barclays Premier League -- expect Sir Alex Ferguson will be chewing gum in the dugout.

Summer Transfer Window 2015 - Premier League Signings To Watch

Here is the link to a downloadable list of all the EPL Transfer so far The 2015 Barclays Premier League summer transfer window is in full swing. With the September 1st deadline slowly moving closer, here are some of the best signings so far... Gerard Deulofeu - Winger - 21 years old     Transfer:   FC Barcelona   ->  Everton  Transfer Fee : 4.2 Million Euros  Deulofeu has blinding pace.  His return to Merseyside will be much welcomed after being loaned to the club in 2013-14.  During his first stay he appeared 25 times, tallying 3 goals.  Sidelined due to injury the flashes of brilliance he displayed when healthy was enough for boss Roberto Martinez to complete this permit transfer without hesitation. In my opinion this may end up being the steal of the transfer window.  If he can stay healthy, the combination of his and Kevin Mirallas speed could easily translate into explosive seasons for the pair.  The luxury...

Onward To Villa Park - Manchester United vs. Aston Villa Preview

Tottenham…In Short Manchester United topped Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, kicking off the season with a 1-0 victory.   The lone goal came courtesy of Tottenham as Kyle Walker was "credited" with the bizarre own goal.   United got the result, regardless of how, which is the most important take away. New arrivals Matteo Darmain, Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastion Schweinsteiger and Sergio Romero all saw action as the high profile signs looked like solid additions. Romero stole the show, making crucial stops in the later stages of the match.   Schneiderlin played well aside Michael Carrick, with the pair combining for a pass completion average of 91.55%.   Memphis and Darmain also had strong performances for United, completing 86.2% and 86.1% respectively in their first starts for United.   In a match that did not see Marouane Fellaini (suspended), Marcos Rojo (rest?) David de Gea and Victor Valdes not suite up…signs moving forward s...
