Premier League Predictions

At this point in seasons previous there would be a significant gap in the various sections of the league which would allow us to start looking at where their goals for the transfer window, January and for the rest of the season could be clearly defined. While six points separate the top four teams the same amount of points split the whole bottom half of the league, 11 teams.

Can you imagine the phone calls into various talk shows from United fans had the FA given David Moyes the Manager of the Month award for December?

Yaya Toure: Confederation of African Footballer of the Year

To be fair, it wasn't really in doubt, but yesterday the Manchester City and Ivorian Coast powerhouse Yaya Toure, won the African Footballer of the Year award. It is the third consecutive year that Yaya has won the award, matching that of Samuel Eto'o, who did the same thing almost a decade ago.
