Its been a fantastic first half of the season ofcourse as a Chelsea supporter and i too have been impressed by the way we have dispatched some teams.

City continue to clip at our heels and with the FA and Champions league back later their resolve will be tested and maybe will give us some breathing space.

Man U is an interesting "project" i cant really put a finger as to where they are - they seem to have lots of high's and lows however the fear factor is gone and i do not see them being the dominant team it has been for the last few years, i am certain that boat has sailed away. However they are what i call the boogey top 4 they can indeed win the title when it comes to the latter end of the season with the same advantage Liverpool had (the only reason Liverpool dint win was because City were not in CL at the latter end) IMO

Blunder referee Anthony Taylor apologised to Jose Mourinho for failing to award a penalty when Cesc Fabregas was tripped at Southampton on Sunday.

It has emerged that Taylor, who instead booked Fabregas for diving in the 1-1 draw, said sorry to the Chelsea boss before both had left St Mary's.

Mirror Sport can reveal that assistant Darren Cann tried to warn Taylor that it was a penalty rather than a dive. Taylor is understood to have shouted down the officials' headset: "Not a pen, not a pen, simulation." But Cann shouted: "It is definitely not simulation."

[quote=Nobby]I will make some bold predictions for 2015

1. Arsenal will be the only top 5 teams to win again in new year.
2. With the return of the major stars, Arsenal will begin a run of results which may cumulate in being top come may 2015
3. City and Chelsea will struggle from January which will let The Gunners and United catch up with them
4. Arsenal will reach the last four in the champions league.
