Chelski close the gap

With Chelski barely winning their game against Newcastle last night, the gap is down to 5 points finally. As if the Jose whining wasn’t enough, John Terry has now jumped into the whining bandwagon suggesting that Chelski are yet to hit top form. Read the news item here where he gloats about how Chelski are going to end up as the top team in the country. Well, you gotta let him dream as he has every right to and given the fact that they ARE the current champions of England. But it’s obvious the Chelski camp is seeing something it hasn’t seen since Mourinho’s arrival, that is playing catch-up to the real champions of England.

But let’s not count our chickens before they hatch! There is a long way to go, as I keep saying over and over, and the most important thing right now is the January transfer window. There is increasing speculation about who’s coming and who’s going out of United but Bayern have certainly come out and refused to let Hargreaves go. Strange as it may sound, this looks like a battle that is going to go on for quite a while. After all, he is their player and if they want, they can keep him for the entire length of his contract.

Other targets being mentioned in the daily tabloids include Torres, Huntelaar, Antonio Puerta et al. So fingers crossed on that front. Last but certainly not the least, the Champions League draw is going to be held tomorrow and I, for one, am going to be watching that live telecast! Lets hope we avoid one of the big-guns in the quarters, but it really wouldn’t matter because we are going to play them sooner or later. I would fancy us against anyone right now, home and away. So let’s hope this is finally our year in Europe too and we go all the way! The Reds go marching on ….
