A good 2017 closing game by Chelsea. In addition to getting full points, they also managed a goal party to close the year 2017 and welcome the new year 2018 beat Stoke City with a score of 5-0. I was curious, whether Chelsea can play consistently win in every game in the next half of the season?.

Depends on wether they are going to lose hazard or not in this winter transfer. There is a huge speculation that Real Madrid might have been in contact with him however there is no way to tell how things goes. Besides that , there will be a hectic schedule in 2018 for all those top teams so I expect alot of them going to lose few matches . That will make things more interesting rather than having manchester city keep on going with their unbeatable streak

It is very unlikely that Hazard will leave Chelsea in this transfer window.
Real Madrid would not pay an absurd amount of money for a player that will not be able to play the Champions League (Real Madrid's favorite cup).

Also, the people at Chelsea, the players, Conte, Abramóvich, the fans, everyone knows that if Hazard leaves now, there's going to be a massive downgrade on the squad and there aren't many players on the market that can replace him. Seriously, why would they let him go now when the team's having such a great momentum? they're currently second in the league table, and letting your best player go wouldn't be the smart thing to do right now.

Hazard wants to go to Real Madrid (apparently, that's the reason why he's not extending his contract), Zidane has been dreaming for years to have him in Spain, but I think the smartest decision Eden can make right now is to stay at Chelsea until the end of the season.

I am not a Chelsea supporter and I rarely follow them closely so I have a question for you guys. Why Hazard hasn't played even few minutes today. Could be he is leaving the club and doesn't want to risk injury or maybe the reason is simply because they had the game in the pocket and Conte decided to save him for tougher matches.

I am sure that he is preparing to leave The Blues and their season is going to take a very deep dive when that happens, he has already refused to sign a new contract and we know that he is going to leave but the main issue is whether it seems going to be the Winter or the Summer transfer window.

Today's game, Manchester United ended with a draw with their opponent Southampton was a strange thing. I expected ManU to win this game, now it became more troublesome and kind of really tough for ManU to chase Manchester City. Southampton no doubt played a good one defending perfectly, but I would say with quite a many Yellow Cards.

Now they are out of race for this years Championship very strange result for me as well because I was expecting too many goals from Manchester United but they completely fail to do any action on other hand Southampton done great job and have very tight and good defense

After a wonderful start to the season, look at what is happening now, our players are very disappointing in our last four games starting with the Bristol City game. Jose Mourinho should start sanctioning the departure of players who are unable to perform every week. This if football arena we need a lot of consistency from the players.

If Pogba didn't touch the ball when it was beyond the keepers hand that was well pass saving it, then it would of counted as a goal.
Because it was crossing the goal line when Paul Pogba touched it.
Which he did not need too since he was offside obviously.
Manchester United always seem to shoot themselves in the foot as I said before the game started.
I think that is their third draw game in a row.

Stoke were 2-0 down in the first 10 minutes and never really recovered from the shock. They were missing some defenders, but such a comprehensive loss has to hurt. Chelsea are a point ahead of Manchester United and have closed the goal difference gap a bit.

What do you guys think, does Virgin Van Dijk really worth that much money?

My personal opinion is that whole transfer market went crazy, so that might not be too much for great defender. We will see if he will show that potential.

This is a helluva alot of money to play for a player like this.
But to have him on Liverpool will help their cause.
I am liking Liverpool more and more I see them play. I've said numerous times before that Mane is my favorite player so with more talent to support him and his cause the better for all. Grin

My prediction for today is Watford ML @1.7 last tuesday they won against Leicester and still putting up good results against better teams. Losing at home against a team that is sitting in the last at the table is unlikely worst case is they could draw because Swansea could put up a good defense.

Edit :I'm so unlucky, Watford was looking good holding their lead until they reached the last 5 minute of the game and swansea turned the tides around.

Even Neymar was not worth the price. Neymar's crazy transfer will be the start of many players who have high prices. Virgil Van Dijk has started. I doubt if Neymar is not appreciated that expensive, Van Dijk would not be that expensive. I would not be surprised if there will be a lot of players who are not so good but have a high price.

the need of Liverpool of a Defender have pushed them to get him for that tremendous fee in my opinion his worth in the Current time is something close to 50million Euros. And Liverpool needs him now more then ever because they know that the fight for top 4 will require from them to be more stable at the back and if they managed to finish in top 4 they would payed the extra 35million Euros via qualifications to Championsleague by then he would probably prove that he worth something if he is not worth it and they got him for like 10Million it would have been a waiste of time ad money the best thing is that they know they have a problem at the back and now they will do whatever to fix it.

Manchester city has finished the year without any worries for them to finish up the rest of the season as champions
and can enjoy their new years celebrations knowing this in their minds.

No other team can challenge them as the top 4 other teams are not even close to their accomplishments.

You will be surprised in 2018 if they start losing few matches. Closing half season with 15 points difference is not going to guarantee you to win the season. Besides that , the schedule in 2018 is going to make the league more interesting

With some luck, they may slip out of their position but thats depending on their strategy for the upcoming game. I wrote it in my previous post that their only reasonable strategy for now is to sign few more player to cover up for their hectic schedule

You are right, this season is not over yet but 15 points difference is a big gap though. Manchester City is still on top and keep their performance with the winning streak. The problem is other big teams like arsenal,liverpool and man united are unstable, can't keep their winning streak. Sometimes draw or lose

Manchester United always seem to draw when they just play the entire games not pressuring the team forward acting as if they can score whenever they like. That is not a way to play a football match.
They are absolutely the worst with all these overrated and over priced players.
I can not tell how many times I have lost my parlay bets with these buffoons thinking they can win every match which they should be with Paul Pogba and now Lukaku.

Pogba has got some talent according to me which he will bring out soon but yeah Lukaku is overpriced , he misses easy chances and he isn't really a playmaker in the team so yes money wasted , Salah is the best buy in EPL this season if you ask me.

I don't think that there's any juice left In this season if anything happens now it will be surely a miracle, I don't think Manchester United are trying to play a draw every match, if you look many times it a silly miss from them, and they really will regret missing out on persic I, feel that's what caused them the title. Yes against top 6 they played for a draw and maybe that's bad, but they really tried but nothing worked out in their favor.

15-point gap between Manchester City and Manchester United would seem difficult to pursue. Only extraordinary events that could lead Manchester United to overtake Man City position.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11188304/kane-doubt-for-swans-due-to-illness

Seems like Kane might be out for the next game. Has he actually got a cold or did he eat too much over Christmas? hehe.

The article goes on to say that Pochettino sees him as a 'one club man'. Anyone disagree or agree? For some reason I don't really see Kane as world class even though he was the PL top scorer last season and is currently ahead by three goals but I'm not sure how he'd fit in to any other club than Spurs. I think he's a bit like Vardy in that respect. Vardy is great in Leicester and gets most of their goals but he'd be like a fish out of water in any other decent team like Arsenal (and I think there were rumors of him possibly going there last season). Could he end up becoming like Bale and leaving Spurs for a big Spanish or European side? IF he did I think his career would go the same way Bales did and end up being a bit of a waste.

I am very certain that Pochettino is saying this because he wants to keep his star player in the team, without a doubt when the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona come with a fat cheque, they are going to immediately sell without thinking twice about it.

You are wrong. They mentioned this during the weeks EPL game when one of them mentioned that Spanish teams will come calling to Kane with their bags of money.
They said even if one club offers him 20 million pounds to move out of the Premier league to La Liga he will not sell his soul out to the devils.
As they had put it.
Harry Kane is a true Briton through and though. No matter how much euros they want to throw at him.

Kane's contract will expire in 2022 but Tottenham is ready to renew it with a significant increase in his engagement (currently 5.5M a year).
If Tottenham wants to win any competition must absolutely keep Harry Kane!

it's not clear yet if either Kane wants to stay in Spurs forever or he will move if the right offer comes many players says they want to stay at the club for long as They can but that's the only thing that they can so because if they don't fans will call them out and problems begins so Kane have his future in his hands . Sure he can stay and try to left trophies with them but if he wants to be more successful he will mostly will leave.
With the Liverpool signing Can Djik I have some hilarious information do you know that Southampton is Valued about £250m and Liverpool have bought around £175 million's worth of Southampton players over the years by my estimation. Might as well buy the club at this point in few more seasons they should just buy the club already (I know they can't but that's crazy no wonder they gone yo the FIFA last summer when Liverpool poked Van Djik.)
