this epl season has been one of the best.
wolves - deserves to be where they are right now. ripped 2 points off man utd so to hell with them man.
leicester - almost cried when they got relegated 2 seasons ago. so glad they are back but they're goin back down so what the hell.
leeds - the relegation candidate i support with all my heart. they have played some good football this season..got some good players in pennant, milner and smith..not forgetting robinson and viduka..they don't deserve to go down but if they do, then omg they'll never come back up, with smith already sayin he'd rather leave than play division one football. anyway they would have been a title contender had they managed to keep players like rio ferdinand and harry kewell and bla..
man city - lack team spirit. fowler and anelka is a promising partnership but it'll forever be nothing beyond promising..they just can't work together. hope they stay up so man u can play a couple of derbys and make the season more exciting.
tottenham - apart from the game i watched at white hart lane, never really watched them.. think they have quite a history so it'll be sad if they ever go down. other than that, i can't be bothered with them.
everton - total anti-climax from last season. their brand of football's just getting too predictable so i suggest they get relegated and test out more exciting ways of attacking while playing with lousier teams. but moyes is not a bad coach considering his age.
portsmouth - an amazing end-of-season sprint. started off too well and ran out of steam too soon but i hope they don't go down because i like rednapp interviews.
blackburn - played below themselves this season. but u have to say duff is sorely missed and yorke and cole are just rotten..after they stopped training with man utd players.
middlesbrough - another team i can't be bothered with. they never seem to make the headlines..except for that carling cup victory. 12th is a true reflection of their standard..just lukewarm knowaamean..
southampton - philips and beattie are deadly. but they need a stronger midfield because games are often won in the middle of the park. a nice team to watch when u've nothing else to watch.
bolton - have been impressive..with rivaldo on-board next season..can be more impressive..well i dunno. rivaldo's a good reserve team player, as so he proved while at milan.
birmingham - it could only be steve bruce, a former man utd centre-back, to groom such a fine team. has done exceptionally well in refining forsell's two feet, and is doing well with hughes'.
charlton - has my backing to enter europe. has been a good season for them.
fulham - has wavered a lil in the absence of saha. but still a strong team and coleman has my full respect. but he made a tactical error in beating man utd and having his saha stripped off him as a result.
aston villa - yar they've done well, they deserve to go into europe but hope they get kicked out early so that they know they're just not uefa cup standard.
newcastle - haven't really improved from last season, u've gotta say. they are that sort off one of the best but not quite one of the best.. have a promising line-up, and robson's the right man for the job i guess. but hope they finish behind liverpool this season so i can be happy.
liverpool - hope they finish ahead of newcastle this season so i can be happy
man utd - no comments
argh.uncharacteristically blunt and lacklustre. ferguson lost his creativity handbook in carlos queiros' departure. frankly speaking, they don't even deserve third spot. even blackburn has played better football than them at times.
chelsea - it's fun to have them around and have everyone hate them. hope they finish ahead of man u so renieri stays. hope they finish behind man u so jose morinho becomes coach and ferguson finds another arsene wenger to fight with.
arsenal - worthy champions. it's not all about henry, as the newspapers suggest. wenger has just gotten it perfect this season, well he got it right last season but mentality-wise the players got it wrong. no complacency this time round. and u just wonder who can play better football than the gunners. i believe they are better than real madrid. i really do believe so. and u just wonder how they won the title with someone from ivory coast in their ranks.

ariiite, I'll blog. well the young lions have improved much. but aren't low long balls easily cut out? haha but watching that geylang-young lions match was fun, with "my precious" and agu and a running commentary from behind.
I propose we watch my favourite tanjong pagar team. their matches are at queenstown, much nearer, and you're guaranteed four goals in the match- against tanjong pagar.
Enjoy my first Top 10 List for our blog!
TOP 10 DRIBBLERS IN ST. JAMES'
10. Au Kai Min
Not many would believe Kai Min to be pacey, but with famed Newcastle passion and quite a skilful right boot Kai Min indeed has the ability to push the ball past one defender- before the defender sticks his leg out and the ball goes out of play. Nevertheless, he thereby manages to keep the ball in St James' possession, which is good enough.
9. Lye Junxu
Junxu, after all that training, now possesses a great stamina to go along with- er- not so good control of the ball. But when the opponents get tired Junxu can easily outpace them.
8. Joshua Chua
Joshua usually prefers to pass rather than dribble, but recently has been showing quite a few crafty moves to get past defenders. In the most recent game, with his back towards goal at the touchline and a defender on his back, he turned the defender cleanly to cross from the right, one of the many times he tormented their defence in the first half of that game.
7. Caleb Chua
Caleb is blessed with enough pace and strength to outmuscle many for a ball. However he, like his brother, prefers to go for the well-placed pass instead of going for the jugular himself.
6. Gabriel Sim
A marauding, versatile full-back, Gabriel gave his best Roberto Carlos impression to date in the most recent game, frequently raiding down the left which would have made the Real Madrid defender just a little impressed. His blinding pace is only blighted by poor passing.
5. David Lim
As Jeremiah so eloquently said to David, "Watch where you're running to!". Indeed, as David took off like a speeding bullet towards the side of the pitch, he left his opponents- and his teammates- mystified as to where he was headed. But in that trip to nowhere, and after that when he suddenly went back on course again, his dribbling skills were never in doubt- pace, of course, his bag of tricks including the 360-degree turn. Great Darren Huckerby impersonation.
4. Henry Yeo
Pastor Henry likes to take the ball and go on at a slow pace towards the defender. Yet once he sees the defender commits, out comes the swift cut to the left or right, and the defender is left in his wake. His many years of playing has yielded not only more tricks than a magician but also great lower body strength, such that even if the defender gets in a tackle, the ball is likely to strike Pastor Henry and keep on going in his general direction.
3. Justin Hong
Justin has amazing acceleration, which enables him to reach the ball first once he pushes it past a defender. His close control is also excellent, and hardly gets the ball taken off him.
2. Ryan Kam
One of the most exciting wingers St. James' has seen, Ryan just loves now to take on defenders, teasing challenges out of them before he gets by them. Has a very good first touch, pace and a scheming footballing brain, which makes his dribbling dangerous as he can take a long ball and fashion a great shot or cross out of it.
1. Kenny Khairon
The speed demon to rule them all, Kenny's height gives him a centre of gravity lower than Wolverhampton's position in the Premiership. He has it all to become a great winger- speed, acceleration, skilful control, creativity, and confidence. Not many would argue he is the best dribbler in St. James', despite his relative youth.
