As some old bastard once sang - it's the most wonderful time of the year.
The next few weeks will determine a few things.
1. If Chelsea will win the title or not
2. Who will sink to the bottom of the league, never to return
3. Who the stupidest chairmen are in the league
The first seems fairly straightforward, as Chelsea have to cope without Drogba and Essien for the terrifying prospects of Hull, Sunderland, Birmingham and Burnley. Twelve points and a bit of form from their squaddies should see them safely home.
Second, I see Burnley disappearing into the mire without Owen Coyle. In one of the stupidest moves of recent years, he has neglected the team he just brought up in favour of Bolton. It won't work for one main reason: at Burnley he had footballers he could get to pass and move. At Bolton he doesn't. Ten quid says Coyle's current and former club slip away quietly between now and May, along with Portsmouth who may not even be a club by then.
Finally, the Man City powers that be are sticking their necks out for twats of the month, in trying to sign Juan Veron, a man who cannot be arsed to pull his socks up, let alone run. Why the richest team in the world are looking at MORE central midfielders is beyond me, when they should be after two more defenders and attempting to gel the side they already have.
Rumours continue to suggest that Arsenal will bid upwards of 9 million for Carlton Cole - a superb signing for them that would be, but not one that would relegate us. We haven't put our best team out for about 3 years now, and still manage somehow. Can think of several huge sides who would benefit from the likes of Parker, Collison, Green and Upson - one just has to hope they don't read this blog.
If there's one thing West Ham could do with it's a ruthless striker with pace. Not many of those around, but I can think of one who scored a winner at Old Trafford last week. For a couple of million, why not? Anyone has got to be more potent that Freddie Sears..
