English Premier League Snippets

It's Week 43 and we've seen EPL going on for a max of 9 games now. As of the results now, it looks like we're going for the most exciting season for the longest time. For the past 10 - or 12 years, it has always been MU and Arsenal or MU and Chelsea. And of coz, flashes of the 'Big Four'.

But this season, the title race is as open as the ovulation process. Any of the current top six could make it there. Where previously it was the case of who wins the most, this season is about who loses the least.

In such early stage, we've seen Chelsea & Arsenal losing twice. ManU lost and drew once while ManCity lost once and drew twice. Villa and Spurs lost twice and drew once, edging Liverpool who already has lost 4 times. Even then, wins by Chelsea and ManU were hardly convincing. Definitely not a scene we're used to for the longest time.

So in this situation, where all teams were almost technically & motivationally 'equal', the team who has the strongest 'character' will win the title. And the most important person in the team who is responsible for that will be... the manager.

To me, this season is set to be very different.

This season, it's all about the manager.
