The best league in the World

It was a ripper of a match, not withstanding Cashley being booed and Drogba getting back to doing the man 'on the diving trapeze'.Chelsea had to thank a tireless Essien who was hero as well as villain in missing one late chance. The picture would show Chelsea had tons of chances till the last minute. However, the difference in the two sides lies in the very approach. Attacking teams try to work around the opposition on the field and overpower them through sheer skill.Take for instance, there is a confusing maze to pass through. Arsenal would go through the route using their ingenuity and skill and make it through the maze. Chelsea would use a battering ram to break through the walls of the maze and come out. Arsenal call it pretty foorball, Chelsea justify theirs as effective.Imagine, You have money to feed the entire African continent. You can get any player you want. You are the most sought after club in the country(for more pounds per week you offer obviously).Would you still prefer to play like Bolton who have to do with all superannuated veterans due to their weaker financial clout? Mr. Kenyon will have to answer this question first before opening his big mouth about transforming a club with 'no history' to 'the biggest club in the world' by 2014.



Now coming to the main topic, one weekend is enough for all critics and the ever fickle media to forget the misgivings(literally) of this season. For all the hype surrounding it, EPL has been the most frugal league this season having conceded the fewest goals. With more cynical defenders (Boulahrouz, Sonko, Meite, etc.)and more attacking players leaving(Ruud, Reyes, Pires, etc), Catennachio doesn't seem no longer applying only to Italy. No surprises for guessing who is the harbinger for this trend. Again, TrueBlue is the answer. If the league leaders themselves are happy to sit back after a goal advantage, you can't expect the pack to play any entertaining football for they'll be made to look like jackasses as Chelsea keep winning playing ugly. It was the problem with Italy. With 'dark arts' expert, Juventus not dictating terms, Serie-A has shed its bad boy image, atleast on field. Roma are going great guns and poor losers Inter are on a purple patch as well. Arguably, La Liga leads the pack when it comes to attacking football with atleast one major goal rout guaranteed every week. Heartening to see Sevilla doing well. They seriously have the look of the champions. More of matches like the London Derby last night is needed if EPL is to live up to its name as the most entertaining football league in the world.
