It's too early 2 talk abt the leaders since the league is long n
they have more games 2 go. The leaders might change god knows how
many time from now till Jan. Well if the likes of the above 3 teams
can maintain their charge, it b a flash in the pan 4 their
appearances in the EPL 4 one season.
Seriously of the 3 promoted teams, Norwich, Palace n WBA, who has
the likeliest chance of staying up? The answer is not a chance.
When push come 2 shove, they definitely lack that extra quality 2
kill a game off n held on 2 the lead n the points.
Palace has a dodgy keeper, n I still dun't understand how Andy
Johnson can keep scoring n doing well, but all power 2 him... but 4
all his hardwork, if the defence lets in goals easily, then his
efforts r going down the drain. Case in point, the away game 2
Portsmouth. They equalise almost immediately after a Berger special
but was ruled offside, then another chance goes a begging in a
penalty kick missed. Portmouth storms upfield the other side n
score thru the help of a Palace defender, Popovic. If my memory
serves me correctly, that's his 3rd goal of the season, a record 4
any defenders but a dreaded one since THEY r all OWN GOALS!!!
Norwich lacks firepower, how serious can u b taken if u depends on
Huckerby, famous abt 10 yrs ago n a defender-turned-striker in Gary
Doherty that even Spurs let go? N in soccer, if u can't score, u
can't win n 1 pt is not getting u out of the relegation
quarmire.
WBA is jus so average. They r hard 2 break down, hardworking n like
a Everton side without the classy players. Altho they have Kanu n
managed a win over a deflated Bolton, who seems 2 hit the ground
after lofty results against the big 3. Seriously, will u b afraid
of a side containing 1 Kanu n how many goals can he get u in a
match? Definitely a struggler.
This early in the league, only Blackburn n Southampton looks like
candidates going 2b embroiled in relegation battle all season. But
in cases like this, the key 2 avoiding relegation is the results of
the strugglers against each other which will prove significant in
the coming months.
