The Germans dominated the Champions league last season and were rightly praised after some amazing results mainly from Munich and Dortmund. With the exception of Arsenal's great win in Munich, England's teams looked to have some catching up to do.
This season early on Munich won at the Etihad and Dortmund won at the Emirates, so it looked like the story would continue despite Chelsea and Man Utd's home wins over Schalke and Leverkusen.
But the four away legs in the second half of the competition maybe show a shift?
Schalke 0-3 Chelsea
Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Arsenal
Bayer Leverkusen 0-5 Man Utd
Bayern Munich 2-3 Man City

World Cup Draw 2014
World Cup Draw 2014
Groups + (World Rankings)
A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon (10 16 20 51)
Brazil should walk this with the other 3 taking points of each other, the climate won't help Croatia.
B - Spain, Holland, Chile, Australia (1 9 15 59)
Any 3 from 4, Chile could upset the European big guns.
C - Colombia, Greece, Ivory Coast, Japan (4 12 17 48)
Fairly even group, Colombia should be favourites but have a habit of blowing it on the big stage.
D - Uruguay, Italy, England, Costa Rica (6 7 13 31)
Again any 3 from 4, Uruguay should be favourites but seem overrated after only being 5th in qualifying, Italy still rely on the old guard, England who knows?
E - Switzerland, France, Ecuador, Honduras (8 19 23 41)
A really weak group where any of them could qualify, a lot of people predicted that France would avoid the big guns .. and they did!!
F - Argentina, Bosnia, Nigeria, Iran (3 21 36 45)
Argentina and ?, Bosnia looked good in qualifying but first time nerves and the climate will give the others a shout.
G - Germany, Portugal, USA, Ghana (2 5 14 24)
The real group of death, the Europeans should qualify but Ghana and the Yanks are no mugs.
H - Belgium, Russia, Algeria, South Korea (11 22 26 54)
Another weak group where any could qualify, the talented Belgian squad haven't had the big tournament experience so might struggle.
All kicks off 12th June next year :)

Bye Jol
Watching Fulham against West Ham yesterday Fulham were awful and made us look like world beaters (which we're not).
His policy of recruiting so called flair players and has-beens has backfired big time.
Berbatov, Ruiz and Taraabt are all gifted but not team players, Bent, Duff, Karagounis and Parker saw their best days long ago.
I've never really rated Jol as a manager but always enjoyed his after match comments, as his accent reminds me of old seedy 70's films for some reason :)

Premier Predictions (Week 12)
Just woke up after nodding off during the England v Germany game, so no time to go to bed as the alarm goes off in 2 hours!!
So a stiff neck and just found out we lost again :(
Anyway Premier predictions is back for an uninterupted run now all those internationals are out of the way, games over 3 days this week with 7 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and the Baggies Villa game on Monday.
Arsenal Saints is the top of the table clash and the Scouse derby is the early game (BT top pick?).
Obviously the big game for this blog is the late game on Saturday, just read that the Hammers have lost Collins, Rat and O'Brien to injuries picked up on international duty joining Reid and the rest in the sick bay meaning we now have only 2 defenders and no forwards so Fat Sam will have to play a 2-8-0 formation??
Good luck all :)

World Cup Squad?
I've been looking through prospective candidates for England's World Cup squad, and here's my take on it.
A few of the old hands will probably be selected by Hodgson but I reckon this slightly younger lot could be worth a go.
Don't expect us to win or go really close, but it would be great if we could have a few performances to remember.
Goalies
Joe Hart, Ben Foster, Jack Butland
Defenders
Kyle Walker, Ashley Cole, Leighton Baines, Chris Smalling, Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka, Phil Jones
Midfield
Steven Gerrard, Theo Walcott, Michael Carrick, Adam Lallana, Jack Wilshere, Ravel Morrison, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Andros Townsend
Forwards
Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck, Rickie Lambert, Saido Berahino
Reserves
Fraser Forster, Steven Caulker, Luke Shaw, Tom Cleverley, Ross Barkley, Andy Carroll
Thanks and Goodbye
Ashley Young, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Jermain Defoe, John Ruddy, Joleon Lescott, Micah Richards, Jordan Henderson, Gareth Barry, Matthew Jarvis, John Terry, Michael Dawson, Scott Parker, Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, Aaron Lennon, Leon Osman, Frazier Campbell, Rob Green, Stewart Downing, Adam Johnson, Ryan Shawcross, Tom Huddlestone
Maybe Next Time
Jack Rodwell, Jay Rodriguez, Raheem Sterling, Wilfried Zaha, Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson, Ryan Bertrand, James Ward-Prowse, Jonjo Shelvey, Nathan Redmond, Tom Ince, Andre Wisdom, Eric Dier, Tom Carroll, Danny Ings, Jake Livermore

England
If anyone was suddenly believing we were world beaters after our
World cup qualification, this should bring them back to reality.
The 4th best team in South America made us look really ordinary, I realise we played with an experimental team but their were enough experienced players on view to have made a game out of it.
The only bright spot was Adam Lalalalana who didn't look overawed and was our best player.
Fraser Forster - Looked slow and cumbersome, probably better than Ruddy but not a patch on Hart or Foster.
Glen Johnson - Best days are behind him and with only Kyle Walker challenging him we have a problem in the right back position.
Leighton Baines - Proving again he's not a patch on Ashley Cole as a defender, and against teams that don't allow him to get forward he will struggle.
Phil Jones - Should do better, needs a run in central defence with club and country which he's unlikely to get.
Gary Cahill - Usually impresses me but now I know why Mourinho leaves him on the bench so often, lucky not to get sent off in this match.
Frank Lampard - Should retire gracefully now, he's been good in the past but those days have gone.
Jack Wilshere - Has got talent but injury prone and his attitude will see him sent off against teams who specialise in winding up opponents.
James Milner - No idea why he keeps getting picked? very average player.
Adam Lallana - Good debut, skilful player who might make the grade.
Wayne Rooney - Having his best season in years, struggled in this game but still looked better than most on view.
Jay Rodriguez - Rabbit in the headlights, played out of position but never looked likely to have any influence on the game. Maybe he could be brought back after the World cup for another go.
Andros Townsend - Has looked very good so far, but didn't get a chance to shine last night.
Chris Smalling - Like Jones needs to play regularly as he looks promising.
Jermaine Defoe - Another one who's best days are behind him.
Jordan Henderson - Average midfielder lacking the skills for international matches.
Tom Cleverley - Looked good last season but seems to be going backwards.
Ross Barkley - Promising player but gives the ball away too much, will get better.
Rickie Lambert - Has done nothing wrong and should stay in the squad.
Daniel Sturridge - Skilful player who seems to play according to his mood, can be very good but sometimes looks like he can't be bothered.
Steven Gerrard - Should be good for another year, if Lampard's not playing he still looks our best midfielder but injuries are a big problem.
Ashley Cole - Still our best left back.
Joe Hart - Still our best keeper despite the mistakes.
John Ruddy - He's English and a goalie?
Phil Jagielka - Reliable, best option at the moment.
Kieron Gibbs - 3rd best left back possibly, could be good in the future if he keeps playing regularly for Arsenal.

Possession
According to the pundits possession is key, if you've got the ball you should win.
The facts don't really support that fact this weekend.

Dive Dive Dive
Ashley Young's dramatics after the Sociedad defender held his arm were rightly criticised.
Gary Hooper's amazing fall after tripping over Jaaskelainen's arm was just about legal as the West Ham goalie gave him the opportunity to display his diving skills.
But outright winner must be Ramires who threw himself at West Brom defender Reid and fell over to earn Chelsea an extra time penalty.
Mourinho's after match comment really just made him look a prat, he should have just said "it was a bit soft but we'll take it".
.... and no mention of Luis Suarez or Gareth Bale this time :)

Crystal Balls Up
I think he's a decent manager, not a great one but probably as good as Palace will be able to attract.
I can't think of any decent manager who is likely to take over there with a squad who over achieved getting up, and were always going to struggle staying out of the bottom 3.
Maybe DiCanio???

2 Great performances and the future looks bright, hopefully our promising younger players can stay fit and keep improving and who knows?
No doubt the England haters will be pissed off for a while and snidey Lineker and cabbage patch Chiles will have to hold their tongue for a few weeks, I guess the scum press will be setting up Hodgson and our players for some eve of tournament revelation to scupper our confidence like they always do, but let's enjoy the next 6 months dreaming of World cup glory days in Brazil :)
Anyway back to normality with the latest Premier predictions :)

Fantasy Football Update
Week 7 Update of the "Nothing Better Than Football" leagues.
Just 8 teams in the TFF league but our top 5 average has moved us up 750 places from last week :)
My 2 teams are joint leaders so I need to the rest of you to come and catch me to improve our overall standing.
Telegraph Fantasy Football
Shot myself in the foot on the FPL game as my confidence in West Ham winning at Tottenham didn't extend to leaving Reid and Morrison in my starting XI and my 2 benchwarmers would have racked up 25 points :(
But I can live with it after seeing that performance yesterday :)
Should have been in a clear lead of the works league but dropped to 2nd, but still plenty of time to catch up.

No premier games this week due to another International break, so I'm hoping England don't take the smile off my face and do enough to qualify for next years World Cup.

Man City v Everton
Cardiff v Newcastle
Fulham v Stoke
Hull v Aston Villa
Liverpool v C Palace
Sunderland v Man Utd
Norwich v Chelsea
Southampton v Swansea
Tottenham v West Ham
West Brom v Arsenal
6 games on Saturday and 4 on Sunday
The big game on Saturday is the other Manchester v Liverpool clash that usually doesn't get as much publicity, City are really unpredictable at the moment, Everton seemed to have clicked under Martinez straight away which makes me wonder if Moyes has been holding them back?
Moyes himself needs a victory badly, and anything less than 3 points against the struggling Mackems will heap the pressure on him.
A few possible upsets on Sunday and I'm praying that Tottenham have a nightmare journey back from Russia and eat some dodgy lasagne on the flight, because with 3 tough games this month we could end up in the drop zone :(

Disgrace
Is it the early seventies again? Man Utd are shit and Clough has been sacked by Derby.
Van Ginkel is out for 6 months, which is great news for Juan Mata ... He'll have someone to talk to in the stands.
I've just seen a referee in a pink and yellow quartered shirt ... it was Mark Battenberg.
Gareth Barry has revealed the chance to play under Roberto Martinez was a big factor in his decision to join Everton... Man city telling him "F*ck off, you useless c*nt" was also a consideration.
