Scolari faces up to home truths 10:21pm on 30 Nov 2008 Nice blog Phil. Wow - what a game. Arsenal looked lightweight in the first half and for mine, Chelsea would have been able to go into the break out of reach if they were decisive enough in the final third.

I feel Arsenal were rattled by Chelsea physically for long periods, but managed to hold on and got an extremely lucky break in the first half.

If I were a Chelsea fan, my concerns would be not that of the ref's decision, but for the failure of a team to beat Arsenal with players like Song, Denilson and Djorou.

Arsenal may come back to life from this, with some more consistency and more fight against the more physical lower sides, but as for Chelsea, and Big Phil, they should worry more about a midfield consisting of Deco, Ballack and (the usually untouchable) Lampard's inability to force a single save from Almunia in the second half.
Welcome to the Gavin Strachan blog 01:21am on 25 Sep 2008 Nice One Gav. Like the honest approach and looking forward to your stuff.

Good luck on the weekend and in your next piece.
Buoyant Capello leads from the front 12:49pm on 06 Sep 2008 Capello has certainly used initial games to test the abilities of the talent available. His judgement of this will be hugely tested against Croatia, and an easy win against Andorra will be the best preparation for such an important game.

The lack of talent and more so, the lack of REAL competition for places in the team is not a reflection an a man who has been in the job such a short time.

I am not one to bring club matters into national game discussions, bit in response to 00.26am, it is clear that being a Spurs fan has tainted his judgement to the point that he wants Arsene Wenger to be punished for not having more English players. The fact is, many have come and gone without being able to break into Wenger's team, despite all the opportunities they are given.

Wenger also seems to be clever enough not to pay the ridiculously inflated fees for english players, most of whom are unproven at the top level. A certain 17 million pound English striker from Spurs almost immediately springs to mind....
