Football just gets more and more bizarre, What the Fudge is going on, Why have Blackburn sacked Sam Allardyce?  Even stranger is that Blackburn do not appear to be in any rush to find a succesor with Steve kean taking over for the time being. Why not keep Big sam? Surely they would have been in a more secure position then come the end of the season. The Premier league is tight this season and I can quite easily see Blackburn now getting dragged into a relegation fight which they would have otherwise avoided.

Carlos Tevez wants to leave City, no massive surprise as 2 years ago he said he wanted to be back in Argentina inside 5 years. For what it's worth I hope city get the money he is worth as otherwise its another nail in the coffin of Clubs having any power over their players.

It's now 5 and a half weeks since Chelsea's last league win although they will be well up for the game against Man United this weekend. A Loss for Chelsea would leave them 6 points off the top and having played a game more. They then have the prospect of a trip to the Emirates next week. 2 good weeks may put them back top, 2 bad weeks could leave them out of the title race and maybe out of the top 4 and surely Ancelotti out of a job?.

The Champions league draw was this week, Arsenal we're handed probably the toughest team in the pots in Barcelona and I really don't see them getting through. Spurs could go either way against Milan and Chelsea and Manchester United should easily get through to the last 8.

Champions League draw and who i think will win
Roma v Shakhtar Donetsk - Winner Shakhtar
AC Milan v Tottenham Hotspur - Winner Spurs
Valencia v Schalke - Winner  Valencia
Inter Milan v Bayern Munich - Winner  Munich
Lyon v Real Madrid - Winner  Real
Arsenal v Barcelona - Winner  Barcelona
Marseille v Manchester United - Winner Man United
FC Copenhagen v Chelsea - Winner  Chelsea
