Who’s getting the boot this term

O ....................layyyyy Olay Olay Olayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Olayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

This is what exactly some fans have been singing in their heads given the rapidity in which the small teams are mincing the big ones.

Chelsea for some defensive inadequacies is not looking as real champions, and therefore do not look like a team that can save their title this year.

Mourinho has always been talking on and off the pitch to deflect attention and pressure away from his players.

But time round, he has not got the time to do same due to the fact that his players are not pulling their weight enough and could be on the bench or wrong side of his book.

Manchester United on the other hand, is not using Chelsea’s misfortunes to gather pace and move up the league table with tenacity and audacity.

Wayne Rooney does not look his prolific self-upfront, and Louise Van Haal must cook up some new tactics to bring back the Rooney of the 'Hair Dryer' days under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Arsenal is a team that should be doing what Man City are doing- scoring goals left, right and centre up and down the country. Only the boss knows what he is doing.

Manchester City have already shown they are the real deal this term. So the central question then becomes clear as to which manager or managers will be first to get the boot.

This is so because without the right gloves, the likes of Gary Monk, Slaven Bilic, Alan Pardew and Claudio Ranieri seem to be throwing the right punches in the transfer market.

Again, we should know that this is the premiere league and therefore nothing is guaranteed nor set in stone till the league curves in December and gathers momentum for the final stage in May.
