C’mon you ALL Blues!

It may be a magnificent season for all of us, not only particularly Chelsea fans. Although our vital second half’s performance kept the title’s hope alive, the Champions’ League seems to be our main and really achievable goal this season. We have already lost the Carling Cup final and the FA Cup in stupid way; it’s highly unlikely that United will drop some point at Wigan. Wigan who drew at the Bridge a while ago…

Linfield FC has clinched their third successive Irish League title this season; moreover they won the Irish Cup and the League Cup, what means no more no less they have got the Treble! Well done has been done in Belfast!

In the same time, Glasgow Rangers are just about to make a bigger achievement this season. The Gers has already won the League Cup, while the races on the other fronts are still on. In the next 17 days, Walter Smith’s players are going to play in…7 games, what gives an average of 58 hours between each kick off. Four of those games will be away from home, but the stake is worth effort – the Quadruple!

Five of their games remain in the Scottish Premier League, where the Gers are 7 points behind Celtic, but with three games in hand. The Scottish FA does not make things any easier for Rangers, but in the Manchester final against Zenit St. Petersburg, the Scots are not considered as underdogs. At the very end of the season they play Queen of the South (what is that?) in the Scottish Cup final. I will definitely keep fingers crossed!

Since leaving the Scottish national team’s post, Walter Smith has done an enormously huge job at the Ibrox. He has brought the Gers to the level they haven’t been for a long time, though. Well done!


The last but not the least to mention, Olympique Lyonnaise is about to clinch their SEVENTH (oh, yes) successive Ligue 1 title. Hats off gents, hopefully OL will make it.

Apparently, all I dream about it just the Double.

Now, call me a glory hunter, I really do not mind ;-)

In the meantime, after losing everything this season in domestic competitions and in Europe, FC Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has become a spectator and was spotted at the St. James’ Park. Again, on the losing side ;-)
