POST KICKOFF BLUES: Where giants will lie come May

Habari yako?

Lemmi try to be honest and realistic about my team, as well as the other so called 'top horses' prospect in 2014/15 season.How will the premier league table look like after the final whistle in each and every 10 BPL matches come Sunday, May 24th.
Pellegrini's men crawled back into the title race in the final few weeks last term when Liverpool looked set to lift the title for the first time since 92 after Gerrard's infamous slip against Chelsea, whose manager's confidence of claiming the title squashed at home by the resilient Sunderland following a 1-2 loss to end Mourinho's 77 unbeaten games at the bridge, finishing 3rd ahead of Arsenal.

PREDICTIONS

.Arsenal to win the league, liverpool to battle it out at fourth and Chelsea to finally win a local piece.

 1.Arsenal.
The last time Gooners celebrated winning the title, Wenger wore oversized suits with long pieces of cloth on his neck posing as a tie. Viera was the captain and Invincibles was their iconic name. Following Sanchez's big money move to the club the manager sent out a big message of intent that he's ready to restore the club's old glory hence building on last year's Fa cup success. The gunners are no longer a feeder club and with a visionary,world class manager in Wenger, rival clubs know way too well the kind of havoc Ramsey, Ozil,Cazorla and Sanchez's partnership will cause. After a hard fought win against Crystal palace last saturday, breaking the jinx of successive winless runs in the opening fixture, i won't be surprised when Arteta lifts the trophy.
2.Manchester City.
The Eastlanders have enjoined a trophy laden era since Mansoor Bin Zayed took bought the club in 2008.They've gone on to win the BPL twice in three years as well as the F.a cup and the Capital one cup. With Pellegrini 'inheriting' Mancini's troop, Silva Aguero and Nasri committing to the club, city are set to enjoy another trophy haul future. After being toppled by the vibrant gunners at Wembley, city looked strong and solid on the back with the return of their inspirational captain.We all have to wait and see how the giants fair in the Champions League as well as the league's top six but Arsenal will end up stepping on their heads.

3.Chelsea
Mourinho's men successfully saw out BPL's new boys Burnley 1-3 at Turf moor. Fabregas' acquisition proved priceless as the former Arsenal captain inspired the lackluster blues to a come-from-behind win, pulling the strings from the midfield with two crucial assists. The Londoners managed to secure Costa from Liga champions and his paertnership with his fellow Spaniard will prove pivotal ahead of a long season. Cesc is a dynamic player and know the BPL pretty well but will his LA LIGA stats come back to haunt him? If Mourinho continues to employ his 'Parking The Bus' tactics and shallow mind games, then he'll end up sitting exactly where he was last term. On the brighter side i see the blues winning the Capital One cup at Wembley against Manchester United.
4. Manchester United. 

New manager, new backroom new captain and definitely a new era. Fergusson-like era? oh no! Van Gaal is an inspirational statue at United, and his presence alone will stir up the club and their global fans are poised to enjoy another historic period only if they fire the pilot sitting on his cockpit ready to fly a #VanGaalOut banner. However the Dutchman had a sour season opener on his first competitive game in charge after losing to Swansea at Old Trafford! He none the less showed no panic signs as he confidently shaked hands with the United faithfuls. His predecessor Moyes, enjoying a shambolic football season which prompted his arrival to help mend the players' shredded mentality. With only the league and the cups on their plate, Van gaal will steer united back to Europe but third on the log.

5.Liverpool
 After losing their star man in Suarez, the Reds are now left hanging on their famous 'You'll never walk alone'
phrase. Suarez snubbed a 40M + 1 pound move to the Gunners in a bid to help steer Merseysiders back to Europe subject to an emotional plea from his former desperate captain. After his teary acts after the final whistle against Chelsea, Suarez atleast managed to 'BITE' his way to Barcelona in a mega money move. He won't be there to offer his 30 goal plus services and neither Sturridge nor Sterling (the new SAS) will help them secure top 4. They will be playing in Europe once again after 4 years and history shows Experiance is essential in the  Europe's most elite competition. will Lallana, Coutinho and Emre Can impress? not in a million years!
There you have it! nothing personal just predictions through the eyes of a die hard football fan. Share your thoughts below, but in the mean time let's enjoy some ARSENAL vs Besiktas game! ALL THE BEST GUNNERS!!
