December for most of us football lovers is usually a very special month, apart from the obvious Christmas and new years celebrations with family. The premier league is usually in full flow with plenty of matches both on weekends and midweek. This for me and other football fanatics is nothing short of FANTASTIC!.
This weekend was very important for many premier league teams with lofty ambitions of winning the premier league and finishing in the top four. As usual arsenal and Liverpool could only manage draws despite largely dominating their respective games, which is becoming quite a sad and painful reality for managers of these football clubs. However despite the draws I saw enough to suggest better days lie ahead for these two teams.
As for Manchester United's loss to Man city, I still genuinely feel the title race is still open and on despite the 11 point gap that everyone seems to be talking about. Unless you don't watch much football or premier league 11 points is just 2 losses and 3 draws which is definitely attainable. Yes city are playing great football, and their morale is high but lets not forget it only takes a few bad results and all that could come Tambling down.
I also believe by city winning the derby last night, they have heaped some pressure on themselves aswel as extending the gap. what I mean by this is they can now feel they have a lot of margin for error which might lead to complacency which can then lead to the pack catching up. I will comfortably label city as the next winners of the premier league if they don't loose or draw any game between now and February.
Manchester United can still catch up, and so can Chelsea, Liverpool and perhaps Tottenham. It only takes one or two negative results. Its not over until its over, do not be fooled by the current outlook of the table.
