betting » News Villas Boas is no Jose Mourinho but he is looking just as stubborn. His insistence on utilizing a tactical approach that served him well in Portugal but has so far failed in the Premier League keeps proving that statement correct. At least we can note how he has recovered Drogba from where he had relegated him and the Ivorian keeps proving he is way far from being past it. The Blues are coming from two wins that revitalized their ambitions in both league and Champions League. Manchester City are themselves coming from a good run of results that has been stretching even further and despite losing out on a place among the last sixteen in Europe’s elite competition they are well set for their first title after years of drought. < Read more…

The word crisis is much over-used in the world of football but something clearly isn’t right at Chelsea. News that Didier Drogba is unlikely to stay beyond the end of the season may not be as much as a hammer blow now as it would have been this time last year, largely thanks to the emergence of Daniel Sturridge. But it’s still indicative of unrest in the Blues camp that seemed to surface once it became obvious that Andre Villas-Boas planned to pension off a few of established Stamford Bridge regulars.
