The formal name of the club is Wigan Athletic Football Club, or Wigan Athletic FC. They are popularly referred to as the Latics,and train at their home venue, the DW Stadium, in Greater Manchester, England, with a capacity of just over 25,000.

Founded in 1932, Wigan are the youngest team in the Premier League.

The owner of the club is Dave Whelan, and the manager, Roberto Martinez.

They were only promoted to the Premier League in 2005, and finished last season at 16th place on the League table.

In the current season, Wigan started badly, losing 4-0 to Blackburn, and 6-0 to Chelsea in their first two matches. Then they pulled off a surprise, beating Tottenham 1-0 in the third.

Early Season Preview:

I wouldn’t blame you, if at first glance, you were pessimistic about Wigan’s prospects this season. They have lost some quality players, who did duty for the Latics in the last season, and the previous.

However, with Robert Martinez at the helm and a striker of the calibre of Hugo Rodalegga, anything is possible. And Wigan might surprise all of us yet.

The team that beat Tottenham in the third round match of the ongoing season comprised of:

Al Habsi, Gohouri, Alcaraz, Boyce, Stam, Figueroa, McCarthy, Thomas, Diame, Boselli, Rodallega, Pollitt, Caldwell, Mustoe, Watson, Gomez, McArthur, and McManaman.

Left back Maynor Figouroa has been a consistently good player, and hence his great popularity with fans and rival clubs.

In fact, Wigan’s biggest worry should be to hang on to Figouroa, or he could leave them, just as his predecessors, Wilson Palacios and Antonio Valencia, did.

With Sunderland managing to lure away Titus Bramble, there is a greater burden on Wigan and Figuoroa alike to keep their goal safe from rival strikers.

Crystal Palace’s Victor Moses is in his second season with Wigan, and is widely believed to have great potential that he could well fulfill this season.

Martinez has signed Antolin Alcaraz and Ronnie Stam, with wide experience playing in Europe, as possible replacements for Titus Bramble. He has also brought in James McArthur and Mauro Boselli.

‘Keeper Ali Al Habsi is with Wigan on loan from Bolton.

The most significant departure is that of former skipper Mario Melchiot.

A relegation battle appears imminent for Wigan, and their first two matches were not the start the squad would have envisaged.

In late news coming in from the transfer window deadline day, yesterday, Wigan have done well by signing Chelsea’s Franco Di Santio, and also by getting Manchester United’s Tom Cleverly, on loan.

And their victory over Spurs in the third match bodes well for the Latics who could manage to stave off relegation, while not finishing much better than they did last year.

Chelsea Football Club or Chelsea FC is an English league football club that is based in West London. It was founded in 1905 and has been playing in the English Premier League since then. Chelsea Football Club has quite an admirable record in terms of wins as they have been crowned as the English club champions three times while they have won the FA Cup five times. Apart from this, Chelsea FC has also won the UEFA Cup Winners Cup twice and the League Cup four times.

Chelsea Football Club is also known as «The Pensioners» or «The Blues» met with their first major success in 1955 when they won the league championship. During the 1960-1970’s period, Chelsea has won several club cup competitions but after that their drought lasted for 2 decades. They won their next major title only in 1997. The period from 2000-2009 is being regarded as the most successful years in the clubs football history as they won consecutive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006. Chelsea FC also reached their first UEFA Champions League final in 2008 led by Jose Mourinho.

Founded on 14 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub, Chelsea Football Club has come a long way since then. The early years of Chelsea FC saw very little success. The closest the club had come to winning a major tournament was the FA Cup final in 1915. They lost the match to Sheffield United. Since the very beginning, Chelsea had a reputation for signing big-names although it did not help them win as many tournaments. It was in the 1960’s that talented young players under then manager Tommy Docherty helped the club to reach certain heights. Throughout the decade from 1960-1970, they went through several near win games. The period from late 1970 to 1980s were the most turbulent period in the clubs history. It all came to the point where an ambitious redevelopment of the Stamford Bridge almost threatened the financial stability of the club. Some of the top players of the club were sold and the team was relegated.

But Chelsea FC bounced back! They won the Second Division title in 1983-84 and went on to the top division before being relegated again in 1988. They went on to win the second division title again in 1988-89. Even though Chelsea FC was shuttling between extremes and the form of their star players were under the scanner, the club managed to reach the FA Cup final in 1994. From there on, things started to look better for the slub especially after Ruud Gullit joined as the player-manager in 1996. He brought in top-class international players into the ailing side and they ended up winning the FA Cup in 1997. Ruud Gullit was replaced by Gianluca Vialli from Italy and he led Chelsea FC to victory in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998, the FA Cup in 2000 and the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in 2000. Claudio Ranieri joined Chelsea FC after Vialli and took the team to 2002 FA Cup Final as well as Champions League qualification in 2002-03.

After Chelsea FC was sold to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2003 for £140 million, Portuguese coach José Mourinho was brought in. Led by Mourinho, Chelsea FC became the fifth English club to win back-to-back league championships. The current manager of Chelsea FC is Guus Hiddink.

Manchester United Football Club is an English football club, sited at the Old Trafford stadium in Trafford, Greater Manchester, and probably the most admired football club in the world, with over fifty million supporters worldwide. Manchester United Football Club is a world-famous English football club, with a capacity of over 76,000 and the highest average crowd in the league. Manchester United Football Club is perhaps the single thing for which the city of Manchester is most famed. The heritage of Manchester United football club is wonderful and most supporters have a real empathy to the club. Manchester has a tradition of excellence in sport. Manchester United Football Club is less than 2 from the University, first class cricket can be seen at Old Trafford, and Salford has one of the best Rugby League teams in the country, the renowned Salford Reds.

Football

Since the late 1990s, the club has been one of the richest in the world, and until recently had the top revenue of any football club for several years running. Nearly overnight, English football re-invented itself as a sensational sport with enormous commercial appeal. The enormous power and reach of television is turning football into one of the world’s most lucrative sports. The club is one of the most successful clubs in England, having won the FA Premier League/Football League fifteen times, FA Cup 11 times and the European Cup/UEFA Champions League twice.

Cup

They also became the first English teams to participate in the European Cup, at the request of the FA, who had denied Chelsea the same chance the previous season, and got as far as the semi-final, only to be knocked out by Real Madrid. Tragedy hit the following season, when the airplane transporting the team back from a European Cup match crashed on take-off at a refuelling stop in Munich, Germany. The plane skidded off the end of the runway, through a fence and into an empty home. Despite the accident, they reached the FA Cup final again, where they lost to Bolton Wanderers. Manchester United have won silverware on a frequent basis throughout their proud and thriving history and on the domestic front have won the both the old First Division Championship and the Premier League, the old Second Division, and the FA Cup and League Cup. By the time Matt Busby left in 69 United had won five First Division titles, 2 FA Cup Finals and of course became the first English team to win the European Cup in 68.

Fans

When Manchester United went to Thailand in 1997, 1000s of United fans went to the national stadium in Bangkok to see their heroes for real; but the closest most of The Clubs Asian supporters got to seeing their team is on national TV, where the whole English Premiership is promoted almost daily.

Up to 67,500 fans often pack into Old Trafford to see Manchester United play football. Like mentioned before, the biggest group of fans can be found in Asia. This has enabled Manchester United to make an interactive, on-line football society that will become the ultimate match and club experience for all its fans, on match days, during the build up, and then the after-match analysis. Maintaining their position could not have been done without the fans worldwide that have turned into United-consumers in the meantime. Of course, when in Manchester, Manchester United football club is one of the first things that jumps to mind for nearly everyone, so a visit to their stadium at Old Trafford is a frequent pilgrimage for fans.

I confess that I have a liking for Arsenal. In fact, of all the so-called ‘Big Four’ they are probably the one team that I wouldn’t mind having to watch every week. They play a lovely, silky game of football and, when they are in full flight, they are probably the nearest thing we have in this country to a team that can match Barcelona.

Unfortunately, they can’t match Barcelona in terms of finishing ability. Or probably defending, for that matter. In fact, in those two departments they themselves can be matched by quite a few of the ‘lesser’ teams in English football.

It’s such a shame, really, for the neutral, that a team that has the passing ability in it that this Arsenal team has somehow seems to come up short time and time again. Players with the ability of Fabregas, Arshavin, Van Persie, and Walcott should surely have won something in the past few seasons.

So where has it gone wrong? Or, as some Arsenal fans are sure to argue, has it not gone wrong at all; it’s simply a matter of time. Or economics. Or something else.

Three things strike me. Again, I stress; as a neutral. My wife supports Tottenham but I don’t let that colour my perspective at all.

Anyway, the first is that when I remember that truly great Arsenal team of a few years ago, it’s not just their quality of passing I remember. Yes, Pires, Henry, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, etc could pass the ball – but the whole team had a solidity and physicality about it that just doesn’t seem to be there in the present one. When you remember Patrick Vieira, you remember his hardness as much as his undoubted skill. So often now when you see the two teams lining up for the girly handshakes – sorry, pre-match civilities – the Arsenal team looks like a junior side compared to the team they’re playing against. That so-important spine running through the team doesn’t seem to be quite right.

And when you remember Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp you remember their ruthless precision in making almost every chance count; something today’s strikers are a long way from achieving.

Finally, and here Arsenal fans will be able to shed light on this – the lack of trophies seems to me to have coincided with the move to the Emirates Stadium. It’s a wonderful place to watch football, and everyone should go there – but Arsenal left Highbury in May, 2006 and haven’t won anything since. I don’t believe in curses or stuff like that. I do wonder, though, if the financial impact of the stadium, especially in what we have to call ‘the current economic climate’, has had a dramatic impact on the manager’s transfer budget.

I fully applaud the way that Arsene Wenger can take players of whom we know very little and make them into superstars. But I wonder if this policy has rather been forced on him because most of the money is tied up elsewhere.

Whatever the reason, I genuinely fear for Arsenal this year. A team with the financial clout of Manchester City might start to make real progress. Everton are only a couple of players away from having a really good squad – and no-one could accuse them of lacking physicality. My wife tells me to write that Tottenham are going to be up there this season as well; she might be right.

I hope, somehow, that Arsenal can, in 2009/2010, stop being ‘promising’ and ‘young’ and really play like they did a few years ago. I hated the way Manchester United brushed them aside in the Champions’ League semi-final; it was brutal.

I want to see an Arsenal team that plays fast, fluent, passing football but also has got some steel at the back and a ruthlessness in attack.

If they have another season like last year, I fear that the ‘Big Four’ might not include them.

The formal name of the club is Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. The squad also answer to the nicknames of ‘Wolves’ and ‘The Wanderers’.

Founded in 1877 as St Luke’s, the squad train at the Molineux Stadium, their home venue, which has a capacity of just over 29,000. The club is owned by Steve Morgan, and managed by Mick McCarthy.

Wolves enjoyed their heyday in the post WW II years and their purple patch extended from 1949 to 1960, during which time they won the League and the FA Cup several times.

Thereafter, apart from a UEFA Cup final in 1972, and the odd League Cup win, the team went into an extended period of decline that lasted 19 years until their promotion to the Premier League in 2009-10.

This is only Wolves’ second season in the Premier League. Last season, the squad finished at a creditable 15th position, in the League table, thereby avoiding relegation.

In three matches played this season, the Wanderers have had a great start and remained unbeaten, recording a 2-1 win against Stoke City, and 1-1  draws against Everton and Newcastle.

Early Season Preview:

As I have already stated, this is only the second year in the Premier League for Wolves.  Last season, Mick McCarthy’s squad managed to stave off relegation.

For some curious reason, newly promoted teams do well in their debut years but tend to have their wheels fall off in the second. Will it be any different with Wolves, this season?

Quality signings this summer raise hopes that Wolves could rise to the occasion and survive the second season, though it could turn out to be a rough ride.

The Wolves squad that played Newcastle to a 1-1 draw comprised: Hahnemann, Van Damme, Craddock, Ward, Berra, Foley, Henry, Jones, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Doyle, Hennessey, Stearman, Mancienne, Zubar, Edwards, Guedioura, and Fletcher.

For the second year running, Kevin Doyle looks likely to be the man Wolves will rely on to help keep their heads above relegation waters. Doyle’s penchant for goal scoring was legend at his former club, Reading.

Incidentally, McCarthy has also signed Doyle’s Reading teammate and fellow Irishman, Stephen Hunt, and if they can emulate, at the Premiership, their successful partnership at Reading, we could be looking at an even more prolific goal scoring season for Doyle than the last one.

Another piece of good news is the arrival of Marcus Bent on loan from Birmingham, a deal that McCarthy managed on deadline day, just before the transfer window closed.

Burnley’s Steven Fletcher returns to top flight football after experiencing relegation with his former team, and with a striking ability matching Doyle’s, Fletcher could lead the dogfight at the bottom of the table, alongside Doyle.

Other than Hunt and Fletcher, McCarthy has signed a pair of defenders in Steven Mouyokolo and Jelle Van Damme. Andrew Surman, Chris Iwelumo and George Friend are the departures from the club, this season.

Given that Wolves have some quality signings this summer, they could be bruise it out with other relegation favourites, but will need more than a slice of luck to escape the second season syndrome.

It’s match time at the Emirates as Liverpool gets set to take on Arsenal on Saturday, August 20, in what promises to be an intriguing match between two teams in transition.

While Liverpool will hope to continue on the upswing that began when Dalglish took the reins from Hodgson last season, Arsenal will hope to learn to cope with life after Fabregas and Nasri.

The last time these two teams met was in April, at the Emirates, a match that extended to 12 minutes of injury time. Van Persie scored off a 98th minute penalty and three points from the game would have kept Arsneal’s title dreams alive. As it transpired, Liverpool had a 102nd minute equaliser, also a penalty, taken by Kuyt. The draw meant a virtual end to the Gunners’ hopes of lifting the Premier League trophy, their last title that they won back in 2005.

Arsene Wenger would have hoped for a good beginning to the current campaign, away at St James Park, on August 13, to boost his men’s morale. The match was a case of possession without scoring for Arsenal who had the ball for 60% of the time. But the game will be best remembered for an ugly spat between Barton and Gervinho that saw Gervinho sent off with a red card.

Eomrvinho went down in the Newcastle area, and though referee Walton chose to ignore the incident, Joey Barton deciced to punish the Arsenal opener for what the Newcastle player considered as a blatant attempt to cheat. Barton grabbed Gervinho’s collar, and the Arsenal debutant responded by slapping the Newcastle man.

As for the match itself, Arsenal had several scoring chances but these came for mistakes by Newcastle rather than any creativity from Arsenal. Kieran Gibbs appeared not to have recovered from a thigh injury he sustained a week before; Arshavin had a few patches of brilliance, and Van Persie appeared rusty from lack of match play.

In Liverpool’s opening match against Sunderland, on Saturday, Suarez showed why he could prove to be the winning edge for Liverpool this season. The Uruguayan, fresh from his winning exploits in the Copa America missed a penalty but within minutes made up for it with a brilliant goal that put the Merseysiders ahead, on 12 minutes. Suarez glanced home a brilliantly delivered free kick from Adams. Sunderland got an equaliser on 57 minutes when a volley from Larsson beat keeper Reina. But in the end it was a disappointing result for Liverpool who showed aggressive intent from the starting whistle. Liverpool were distinctly unlucky that Kieran Richardson who tripped suarez in the area was not sent off in the early minutes of the game; a 10-man Sunderland would have struggled, especially in a first half that saw Liverpool on the attack.

But if the Reds had raised hopes with a brilliant attacking display in the first half, they let down their supporters in the second, as they allowed Sunderland to mount their fight-back. That said, the Merseysiders had many positives in the game, not least the dominating presence of Suarez, supported brilliantly by midfielder Adams, and a show of great energy by Downing.
