2 w. ago Baleba stunner ends Brighton’s winless run and adds to Potter’s West Ham pain

Brighton against West Ham should have been a typical end of season exhibition. Brighton’s hopes of qualifying for Europe looked a long shot and West Ham’s safety was all but guaranteed with or without a point.Instead the match was typical of both teams’ form over the past few games. Brighton started without a win in five league games while West Ham had not picked up three points in seven matches. More importantly, Brighton had conceded at least two goals in each game of that winless run and West Ham were without a comeback win all season. A 3-2 Brighton win should have been no surprise really. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Premier League and FA Cup semis: 10 things to look out for this weekend

Chelsea to give youth a chance, Ipswich look to prolong the inevitable and Jamie Vardy begins his swansongTyrique George has caught the eye since breaking into Chelsea’s first team. A homegrown talent, the 19-year-old winger has done well in his Conference League outings and is in contention for his first start in the league when Enzo Maresca’s side host Everton in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off. Fast, direct and sharp on the ball, George has quickly become a favourite with supporters and he lifted some of the pressure off Maresca after coming off the bench to score an excellent equaliser in Chelsea’s comeback win at Fulham last weekend. Thrown on as a striker, George made it 1-1 with a fine shot from the edge of the area. It was the latest in a series of positive contributions from the teenager. His enthusiasm could make a difference against Everton. Jacob SteinbergChelsea v Everton, Premier League, Saturday 12.30pm (all times BST)Brighton v West Ham, Premier League, Saturday 3pmNew...

Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekendHave any thoughts? Send them over to Niall via emailIt was an interesting night for Chelsea. They are through to a European semi-final but they got booed off the pitch as it happened. From west London, Jacob Steinberg wrote:Losing 2-1 to Legia Warsaw on the night was embarrassing. Chelsea, who seemed intent on giving the fifth-best side in Poland hope of pulling off a comeback for the ages at a disgruntled Stamford Bridge, were shambolic and easily could have crashed out.No wonder Maresca is not feeling the love from the crowd. Nobody celebrated Chelsea squeezing into a Conference League semi-final against Djurgården after winning 4-2 on aggregate. The defending was miserable and the attack was poor. Filip Jörgensen, Robert Sánchez’s understudy, was jittery in goal and the worries around Cole Palmer’s slump are not going away.It was a poor performance. We had a 3-0 lead – maybe that played a part in taking our foot off the gas. M...
