EPL this month

Two thirds of the season is over and each team only has slightly over 10 games before the season is over. These are the teams making a run this month.

Top Teams this Month
Everton- After a poor start, Everton managed to get their season on track again. Manager David Moyes has been getting a lot of the credit of beating Man Utd and Chelsea, but fans should be thanking Louis Saha. The French striker is the form striker of the EPL this month and a place in Europe is within reach of Everton now.

Arsenal- The Gunners just will not go away. When they were beaten by Man Utd, everyone thought they were gone but the spirit of the team pulled them through. Manager Arsene Wenger has a list of injuries to contend with but he must be delighted with the spirit his team is showing.

Man City- When Mark Hughes was gone and Roberto Mancini became the new manager, there were a lot of unhappy people in England. Newspaper had been saying that Hughes had been badly treated and wasn’t shy about the fact they were out to get Mancini. Somehow even a draw against Liverpool is considered a bad result for Man City, but a 4-2 win against Chelsea shut everyone up. Not only that, Man City is currently in pole position for that 4th spot and the Champions League beckons next season.

Surprise Team this month
Stoke- They went 11 games without losing. Yes, Stoke went 11 games without losing. Of course they then lost at home to Arsenal but the real reason Stoke is the surprise team of the month is Ryan Shawcross. The defender did a horror tackle against Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey that broken Ramsey’s right leg in 2 places, but then got an England call-up later on the same day. Talk about irony!

Disappointing Teams this month
Portsmouth- Debts have piled up and the team is in administration. That’s means the team is going to have a 9 points deduction this season which means they are going down.

Burnley- How bad is Burnley? They were playing Portsmouth at home, on the same day Portsmouth went into administration, and still lost! If Burnley cannot beat a team in the situation Portsmouth was in, they are going down.
