Club football back at it after brief international break

Ah no rest for the wicked in the world of footie, then you wonder why some players get to the major summer tournaments slightly tired! What looks like a 3 horse race continues to hold our attention in England with Arsenal and Manchester United winning today keeping the pressure on the Blues. The Red Devils did struggle to find the winner versus Wolves, but did the necessary while Arsenal won a convincing 3 -1 victory versus Burnley. Chelsea still have a game in hand but the title race is clearly very close.

What is a shame is the fact Arsenal could not get better results versus the two clubs they are chasing - Chelsea and Manchester United - had they been able to get some points from these 4 matches they would be the ones sitting atop the league...alas. For once the Gunners are beating the teams they should but unfortunately they are not finding success against the other big clubs. This is what will cost them the title this season.
