da pinup bet： Now that Man City are able to spend money like it’s going out of fashion and Tottenham have recently underlined their ambition with some impressive results, everyone is talking about who realistically are genuine contenders for this season’s Premiership title. So far, Chelsea and Man United have regained order by occupying the top two spots, but are we really now looking at a five horse race for this year’s Premier League?
da blaze casino： Everybody will expect United and Chelsea to be the main front runners come the end of the season, but as most managers are now predicting, the chasing pack are closer than ever. Anyone who hasn’t given a knee jerk reaction to Arsenal’s spectacular collapse at home to bitter rivals Tottenham at the weekend, will also appreciate that Arsene Wenger’s side are better than they have been in years. Even with that defeat, they are only two points off the pace with some of their best players like Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie yet to find form or fitness. Ruling them out would be foolish.
The beauty of the Premier League this season is that the aforementioned big three haven’t exactly been brushing teams to one side. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have struggled away from home, Chelsea seem to be prone to the occasional blip with four defeats already this season and Arsenal’s home form would encourage clubs to believe that they could quite easily take something from the Emirates.
So that leaves the two latest newcomers to the upper echelons of the Premier League. Man City’s spending spree have equipped their squad with enough talent to win most leagues around the world. If manager Roberto Mancini can get the balance right, there is no reason they can‘t win ours. The Italian has come under pressure for his defensive mentality, and recent back-back home draws are a concern for the fans. So far though, with all that in mind, fourth place and three points off top of the league can’t be too bad for a club struggling to find their feet as a big club.
Tottenham on the other hand, have the balance right. Gareth Bale has been sensational this season, whilst the signing of Rafael van der Vaart has got fans believing that Spurs could be serious title challengers. Results against the likes of Arsenal and Inter Milan have underlined the clubs quality but where they fall down at the moment is consistency. Big wins against big clubs have to be followed by big wins against smaller teams, but that will come with experience. You would also have to agree with manager Harry Redknapp when he says he is still a couple players short, but for the time being sitting three points off a Champions League spot won’t be too disheartening for Spurs fans.
If the likes of Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal were firing on all fronts, it would be difficult to see either Spurs and City realistically challenging for the league this season. But the way results have gone, managers of both clubs must find it hard not to dream that this could be their year.
Come what May, we could be in for the most exciting climax to a Premier League season since it’s began. Tottenham or Man City to be champions? Stranger things have happened.
