Everything has happened in Game Week 12. Chelsea are looking good to be champions. It is just so hard to score against them. After 12 games, they have conceded only 4 goals and they totally controlled the game against Leicester. The new managers all looked to have improved their teams. The Steven Gerrard effect seemed to have worked for Aston Villa with two late goals to get only their first win after five straight losses. Burnley and Crystal Palace plus Newcastle and Brentford served out a treat with exciting draws. With new manager Eddie Howe at the helm though missing due to being tested positive for Covid, the Magpies showed some spirit to come back twice to get a point but remained the only team without a win and anchored right at the bottom now. Dean Smith only just sacked by Villa gave Norwich a win , only their second win of the season against a Southampton side undefeated in five. Not so new but still relatively new manager Claudio Ranieri not only won ...

Bottoms up! We shall discuss from the bottom, up. Norwich City finally got their first win! That Brentford we saw earlier have now lost four matches in a row. Aston Villa have outdone Brentford with 5 straight losses as Southampton remained undefeated in four games (3 wins and a draw). Crystal Palace achieved two wins and drew four times. Burnley surprised all with a battling 1-1 draw at Chelsea. Newcastle equalised at Brighton to steal a point. Leeds for the first time this season played like the team of last season and dominated Leicester but could only get a draw. Everton played to a stalemate at Goodison Park against Spurs. Hard work ahead for Conte. Arsenal remained unbeaten for the 10th time with a 1-0 win over Watford. Liverpool crash-landed 2-3 to West Ham who fought for a fine win. I wonder what David Moyes could have done at Manchester United had he been given the same support and money in his time there and to think what Moyes has achieved with much lesser resources at West ...

Some unfathomable stuffs have happened. What a week of soccer from Game Week 10! After a pathetic start, Arsenal are roaring and are now level with Manchester United on points. Thanks to Aaron Ramsdale's many saves including a out of the world save that many will talk about years from now! Burnley finally won a match. Liverpool went to sleep at Anfield. Crystal Palace made the biggest headline dumping champions City at their own ground at the Etihad!!! Nuno Espirito Santo's days at Spurs may be numbered as they fared worse than Manchester United who bounced back with an important 3-0 win. Norwich continued to be bottom with no end in sight as Raphinha scored a beauty. Finally, West Ham are really so good they are level on point with City! Chelsea are firm favourites to win the title with yet another win. Even without Lukaku and Werner, defender Reece James struck not once but twice with scorching shots. They had beaten Brentford with the slimmest margin even when they were outp...
