London Calling Part 2

As we reach the end on 2014 here I have another little look at the London clubs and how there doing so far with a fun grading system. 

Premier League
Chelsea - Previously A* NOW A

Only one defeat in the league it looks like a two horse race between them and City. Not looking quite as cut throat as they were earlier in the season, could be the calm before the storm though.

West Ham Previously C+ NOW B
 
West Ham still looking strong and now with Andy Carroll back West Ham could be in the hunt for European Football. Song and Valencia could well be the deals of the summer.

Arsenal Previously D- NOW D+

The Gunners still way off the pace in the title race, However Sanchez is taking the Premier League by storm. Wenger does need to still dip into the transfer market next month as top 4 will be tight this season.  

Tottenham Previously D - NOW C
 
Unbeaten in 6 in the league now, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen get special praise as without them Spurs wouldn't be anywhere near the top 7.

Crystal Palace Previously C - NOW F
 
A turbulent season already saw Palace become the first team to sack a manager Warnock went, in steps what looks like Pardew. There bang in trouble and it could be writings on the wall already.

QPR Previously D+ NOW C
 
At home Rangers are great, away their pretty awful.
Charlie Austin is showing what a quality striker he is and deserves at least an England call up in the New Year. Smart buys for QPR should keep them up but if they keep losing away it's going to be hard.

Championship  

Watford Previously B+ NOW B

Still doing well currently in 5th, keeping hold of Troy Deeney will be key next month though.

Brentford Previously B+ NOW B+
 
Championship life way easy but now the Bees are on a little slide, they should be proud of their start as I see them staying up with ease but again keeping hold of better players will be key next month.

Charlton Previously B- NOW D

Slipping backwards now Charlton but their fast start puts them in mid-table which is more then likely where they will end up.

Fulham Previously E - NOW D

Slowly going up the table but it looks bleak for the West London side. I can't see a late Play-off run with this team.

Millwall Previously C - NOW D

Slipped into the drop zone now but I think Holloway can somehow keep this bunch up.


League 1 

Leyton Orient Previously F- NOW F
Things have not improved much since the last post, out of the drop zone though, just.

League 2
AFC Wimbledon Previously C- NOW B   
4 Points off the Play-Off positions and with Liverpool to come in the Cup things are on the up.

Dagenham & Redbridge Previously F- NOW F - 
Bang in trouble now it looks like Hartlepool are locked for bottom, the Daggers need to get their act together and fast.

Is it time for women officials in top flight football?

Can they run they line? Can the referee a top flight game? Are they any better or worse than male referees? Or should they stick with the female version of the game? Richard Keys & Andy Gray have once again brought this issue in to football. Here are a few for’s and against women officials. The Pro’s Women have become part of modern day football. That is a fact. At all levels they plan the game and in some cases they run the show, for example Karen Brady. They now attend more games than they use to. You see them in the crowds, mainly in the home end sitting down not signing but they’re still there. There’s no reason to say they don’t know the rules of the game, especially the offside rule as its now become very, very vague to what it actually is! As long as their adequate and have the ability to do the job properly and fairly surely that’s all that matters. Could this be the key that brings a bit more respect in to the game of football? The Con’s Can the female officials take the a

QPR - Who is to blame

It looks like QPR will be playing Championship football next season after a disappointing & gutting draw against Wigan on Sunday. After going down to 10 men when Bobby Zamora foolishly got himself sent off, Rangers took the lead with a goal by Lioc Remy who has been nothing more then sensational for QPR. However they let themselves down once again by giving away a free kick in the dieing seconds where Shaun Maloney curled it in to the top corner. As the silence fell at Loftus Road realisation was for the fans they knew there's no way they can crawl there way back and survive from this.   So who is to blame for the carnage of a season QPR have had:   1. Mark Hughes - This is the man who last season said 'We will never be in this position again with me in charge' Well he was right, in fact it was a even worse position.  Hughes wasted big money on players who simply didn't care & were just their for a final pay day. Bosingwa, Park, Granero, Zamora, Johnson to

As the dust settles and all the teams have played their first games at this year’s World Cup I look back at the early talking points of the tournament. England’s performance was not the best but it also wasn’t the worst. Rob Greens howler will live long in the memory of English football now. He will get hounded at every away ground next season just like James, Carson and Robinson have gone through. I think England will learn a lot from the USA game, and I truly think that Joe Cole has to be on the pitch. I would play him behind Rooney which means dropping Heskey even though he did play well on Saturday. My team on Friday would be, Green (One more chance to save his England career), Johnson, Terry, Dawson, A. Cole, Barry, Lennon, Lampard, Gerrard, J. Cole and Rooney. The most impressive team so far have been Germany. They walked all over Australia and with a very young side they could go a long way. Spain suffered the first World Cup shock when Switzerland beat them 1-0. Spain were the
