Premier League Season...Mid-Season Review

Wow how time flies...It appears its been 6 months since the FPA last reported any news coming out of England. Not that there hasn't been any - we've just been lazy as f*ck to write about it.

But we're back...so lets re-cap. The worst kept secret in football was finally revealed when SB joined his old hunting ground Chelsea FC for a standard 2 year deal. Although rumours in London suggest he won't be seeing out that 2nd year, instead he may find himself looking after the light blue half of Manchester next season. Stay tuned.

We also reported back in February JM re-joining his boyhood club Manchester United for at least 2 seasons, with an option for 6 more in his favour in a record 8 season deal.

On the pitch - SB has taken better to English football than his rival JM. Chelsea going through the first half of the season with solid results and currently find themselves only a couple of wins behind league pace setters Man City.

JM on the other hand has taken time to adjust to his new squad. Currently sitting 7th on the league table, he will need to improve fast with suggestions anything less than a top 4 finish deemed a failure.

In the game of the season so far, Chelsea met Manchester United at a full Old Trafford on Wednesday night. Although United were clearly the better team on the night, they would have to share the points this time.

A Memphis Depay header gave Man U the lead early in the 2nd half, until a late Fabregas goal equalled the scores in what can only be said to be a game that got away from the Red Devils.

What will the 2nd half of the season bring...well we can certainly guarantee plenty of action ahead, not just in the league, but also the Champions League and the FA Cup. Full steam ahead!!!
