Chelsea is crowned, Ballack is injured, and Torres a potential signing

If you didn't already guess, this post is clearly strongly emphasizing what is happening in the Blues' world. Yes, they are the EPL champs and yes, Ballack has been injured. I also just wanted to point out to you ostentatious Chelsea fans that Sunderland even has more EPL titles than the Blues and to be brutally honest, they are awful.

What's more interesting about the injury is that it happened in none other than the infamous FA Cup. Boateng of Portsmouth made an awful and unnecessary tackle on Ballack which resulted in Ballack's severe injury which will now keep him out of the World Cup. The best part? Boateng is on Ghana which is in the same group as Germany!

And my third point on Chelsea: Torres of Liverpool/ Spain is said to be in the "strong talks" of signing with the Blues for a 70 million Euro transfer. That's nuts! Anyhow, hopefully Torres doesn't make this stupid signing because if he does, I guarantee you he won't be as prestigious in the views of Spanish fans or anywhere else for much longer.

My last topic of interest is Barcelona. Congrats to them as they won the La Liga title this past weekend. Were records broken? Absolutely. They now hold the record for the most goals scored in a single season (98) and the most points earned (99). Which club previously held this record? None other than Barcelona themselves.

Here is a video of Barcelona's final La Liga game from this weekend (the quality isn't great, but at least it's a good highlight reel of the game):

Rooney and many others out with injuries

Last weekend England took on Ukraine in a World Cup Qualifier in which Rooney sustained a calf injury that will now be keeping him out of Manchester United's game against Bolton tomorrow. Furthermore, Manchester United would naturally fall back on Berbatov to take Rooney's spot however, Berbatov won't be available due to a birth in his family. Fortunately van der Sar will be returning in goal after returning from a hand injury he suffered earlier in the season. Currently, it seems as if Man U is injury ridden yet hopefully this won't stop them from remaining right behind Chelsea at the top of the league.
Just as Man U seems to be suffering some key injuries, so is Liverpool. With both Torres and Gerrard being ruled out of their matchup against Sunderland this weekend, we may witness some interesting results this weekend. It seems that international play has been affecting the players in terms of their abilities to play with their club teams as is always the case with pre- World Cup matches. Hopefully, the players are saving up for what will hopefully be an even better World Cup than in 2006.

Man U recover quickly and face tough competition

Luckily for Man U, they beat the Hotspurs 2-1 yesterday after tieng last week against Sunderland. Rooney scored both goals for Man U and led them to another victory.


Next week on April 29th, Man U will play the Premiership's leaders, Chelsea. For Chelsea, if they win their next game it is almost guaranteed that they wilol win the league for the second year straight. Let's see if Liverpool can hold them off.

Sunderland Remain In Last

Blackburn beat Sunderland 2-0. Bellamy scored both goals for Blackburn (pictured below when he played for Newcastle). For Sunderland, they have won a total of 2 games of 26, lost 20 games of 26 and, tied 4games of 26. These stats basically show you how bad an EPL team can be. For Sunderland, they most definately are heading to the next lower division.

Chelsea beat Sunderland, No surprise!

Chelsea beat Sunderland 2-1. How pathetic can Chelsea get. Only winning by one goal against last place Sunderland. One thing's for sure, Sunderland battled hard. They showed Chelsea what they are made of, kind of like The Battle of Bunker Hill!

Crespo and Robben both scored for Chelsea while Lawrence scored for Sunderland. For Chelsea, Robben recieved 2 yellows= red and, and Cole recieves a yellow. For Sunderland, only Stead recieves a yellow. It's amazing, after Robben scores his second goal, he recieves a red and yet, Sunderland can't score! This also shows how Chelsea is such a strong team and that they are looking for the Second FA Premiership cup in 2 years! Are the turning into a dyanasty like the Patriots? Who knows?
