The play-off dilemma

So the final standings of the Championship has been decided; Reading are perched at the very top whilst Southampton follow them back into the Premier League. This year’s Championship has once again been fascinating and has truly shown that if the Premiership is described as the best league in the world, our 2nd tier standard of football must be closely following.      

What we learnt from the Nou Camp

When only 35 minutes have been played of a football match and this happens, it doesn’t bode too well. Especially when you are playing against one of the best teams in club football. When John Terry stupidly kneed Alexis Sanchez in the back, resulting in his sending off, Chelsea seemed down and out of their second leg Champions League semi-final tie against Barcelona.

I think it’s fair to assume that Harry Redknapp isn’t everyone’s cup of tea at the moment. Since Fabio Capello resigned from his role as England manager, with the Tottenham Hotspur manager subsequently, and instantly, instilled as the bookies’ favourite to succeed the Italian, the win rate of the North Londoners has significantly dropped from 65% to 30%.
