Bohemian FC is the oldest football team in Ireland. It was started in September 1890 and was one of the instigators of what is now known as the Eircomloi League of Ireland.

It has the unique attribute of being the only team never to drop out of the League’s first division. Only one other team, Shelbourne, has been in the League since its inception.

Throughout its history the club has experience both good times and bad. Perhaps its lowest ebb was a 34 season run that saw no silverware in the trophy cabinet.

Many fans point to the club’s prolonged amateur status as the explanation for these dark times. During this period Bohemian FC successfully brought many new players into the game, but as the opportunity for a professional carer beckoned, many of these aspiring footballers left to follow a more lucrative professional career with Bohemian FC’s competitors.

1969 finally saw an end to this drain of talent as the club turned professional and signed its first pro player – a landmark moment in the club’s history.

The following decade would signal a change in Bohemian’s fortunes as they went on to secure both league and cup titles and establish themselves as a major force in the Irish game.

To date, the Bohemians, as they are affectionately known, have recorded 10 League of Ireland titles and 7 Irish Cup titles – an unprecedented achievement. They have managed to do the «double» on three occasions, the most recent of which was 2008.

They have also gone through to Europe and competed in the UEFA Cup and the Cup Winners Cup, although so far with only moderate success. This should however be tempered by the status of the game in Ireland and the resources that the club has at its disposal.

In Ireland football is more often referred to as soccer to avoid confusion with the indigenous sport of Gaelic football which is a different game completely and achieves a higher national status.

Bohemian FC’s colours are red and black and this has been the case since 1893. Tradition has, and remains, and important part of Bohemian FC’s special history.

Supporters of Dublin’s premier club tend to be from northern Dublin and attendances are in the region of 2,000 to 4,000 fans per match. The fans refer to Bohemian FC as either the «Gypsies» or the «Bohs».

The club are based at the Dalymount Park stadium, their home since 1901, however moves have been made to sell the ground for redevelopment and build a new stadium at Harristown. Legal and financial complications are currently holding this process up.

Despite these hiccups, the future of the club looks positive and with success on the field continuing to reach ever higher levels, Bohemian FC look set to dominate Irish football for some years to come.

He remains one of the most prolific strikers in the fold of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. He presently plies his trade with Russian club side- Rubin Kazan.

He his also commonly referred to as the weapon of mass destruction, because of his accuracy in front of goal.

Obafemi Martins single-handedly scored a brace that qualified Nigeria for the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa. Blessed with a devastating left footer, he continues to enjoy rave review in the international football circle.

Ignoring the recent derby which ended in a historical defeat for the favor of Manchester City, one can safely say that great performances City and United have been putting up recently place them ahead of everyone else in the premier league race. Analysts and followers have failed to acknowledge Chelsea’s chances in the title despite the many hints of potential the Blues showed.

Andre Villas Boas have managed to create a team that is not only flexible in squad formations but is getting along fairly well compared to Ancelotti’s term. Fernando Torres is getting along greatly with new signings Juan Mata and Raul Meireles with Frank Lampard showing signs of his old brilliance in the recent games.

AVB has also managed to get the best out of players such as Daniel Sturridge who managed to secure a spot in the first team after a successful loan season at Bolton; although he is seen as cocky and arrogant Sturridge has shown that his pace and dribbling techniques are not to be underestimated.

Fernando Torres, a major thorn in Abramovich’s throat has also showed signs of a possible form return after hitting the net several times in the different competitions; the 50 million pound player has caused a lot of controversy since he arrived from Liverpool and his form is a discussion starter before and after any match.

Another factor which will help Boas succeed is the fact that the young players of the team such as Lukaku, Romeu, Bertrand and McEachran have all been given chances in important Carling cup matches against EPL teams such as Fulham and Everton; this will assist Boas in both resting his players and giving the youth a chance to prove their worthiness of a first team spot.

The most important factor AVB changed is the offensive football Chelsea is currently playing, Boas’s attempts to replicate his Porto side’s tactics are not a secret and with a midfield like Chelsea’s it is definitely possible. Many are criticizing this sudden change in Chelsea’s play style claiming that the players are to slow and old but this brings us to his squad flexibility which will help him implement his techniques better; the return of Micheal Essien will also strengthen the midfield especially in the defensive midfield.

Although AVB has changed a lot since his arrival at Stamford, it is still not a certainty whether he will succeed or not so there is nothing that Chelsea supporters can do but wait and hope for the best.
