Chapter 380 Start to Grab Points
? Although the end of the first battle was sloppy, it still created countless topics. Notts County suffered an unwarranted disaster, but this was only a draw, and Notts County had a 6-point lead in the standings.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Chelsea, which should have benefited from the first battle, actually lost the game tragically. Instead, it slipped from the second place in the points to the third place, and Notts County already has 7 difference in points.
I have to say that I can't blame others for my own death.
Abramovich was already furious. The best opportunity to narrow the gap was wasted by Ranieri, and instead let Arsenal overtake the past. How embarrassing this is.
If Kenyon hadn't stopped him, Ranieri would have been rudely dismissed and dismissed. It must be said that Abu's early management style was really simple and rude.
But at this time, everyone can see that although Chelsea has a great formation that everyone is envious of, it is only a mercenary army after all, and its cohesion is a little worse. In the same way, once the situation is unfavorable, the players cannot form an effective whole at all. I am afraid that with their state, it is really wishful thinking to have a hand in this season's Premier League championship, unless Notts County and Arsenal lose the chain at the same time.
Judging from the stability of Notts County and Arsenal, this possibility is really too small. You know, the two teams have yet to lose a game!
Ceremony Chelsea was taken down the title contender early and became a spectator of the championship, but the strength of the Blues is still there, no one will want them to win a Champions League spot, and they can also pay attention to Focus on the Champions League, because they have reached the last 16 of the Champions League.
This is also the reason why Abramovich has not made up his mind to fire Ranieri, because Chelsea's performance in the Champions League is still commendable.
And now the most promising champion has changed from Arsenal to Notts County, which is a common recognition of all fans.
Before this game, Notts County was 6 points ahead of Arsenal in the standings, but after all, the two teams had not faced each other in the league. Once Arsenal beat Notts County in the league, they broke Notts. County's unbeaten momentum, then Notts County is likely to be beaten back to its original state, and there are not a few people who harbor such speculation.
But in this game, Notts County let everyone see their true strength. Even if they face Arsenal away, they can still have a certain advantage. If it wasn't for a key misjudgment at the last moment, they would be able to win from Haib. Take away a win and then throw Arsenal out of sight of their taillights in the standings.
This game directly proved that Notts County has the strength to really compete for the league championship.
Whether Manchester United or Arsenal, or even Chelsea, have been powerless to prevent Notts County from going further and further on the road to winning the title.
In this way, it would be meaningless to belittle Notts County. Not only will no one pay attention, but it will also attract countless people to scold you, so let's just call Notts County the most championship-looking ball. team.
Moreover, at this time, no one mentioned that Notts County is a dark horse among newly promoted horses. Judging from the current situation, the miracle of Kaiserslautern is not far from Notts County.
After this top battle, Notts County began to enter the stage of grabbing. Before the UEFA Cup round of 32 knockout starts, Notts County must have a bigger lead in the Premier League, otherwise once it enters the two-line battle mode , the results are bound to be affected to some extent.
On December 30th, Notts County easily defeated the White Rose Leeds United at home. Today's White Rose is no longer the White Rose at the beginning of the century. The terrible financial situation makes them difficult, the number of stars is serious, and there is not much fighting capacity left. , as can be seen from their current Premier League standings, 19th.
Although David was full of sentimentality, because he still liked the blooming white rose very much in his previous life, he was neither a saint nor a savior. He couldn't control so many pitiful things in the world. The world's top giants is his biggest ideal.
On January 3, the third round of the FA Cup started in an all-round way. Notts County drew a non-professional league team, Jingda Mister.
The opponent has already won the jackpot by drawing a Premier League team like Notts County, because they can get a huge share of the tickets in their eyes. Although Notts County sent the reserve team is also an abuse, but they are still happy. went home.

On January 11, Notts County played away to Charlton. This is not a fish belly that anyone can handle. Charlton is currently fifth in the Premier League standings, even ahead of Liverpool, which is absolutely not allowed. underestimate.
Facts have proved that Charlton, who is at home, caused Notts County to suffer a lot. He pierced Notts County's goal twice through a powerful offensive at the beginning. After Notts County counterattacked wildly, Charlton Dayton played a defensive counterattack again, and made Notts County ********. If it wasn't for Westman's header at the last minute, maybe Notts County's unbeaten gold would have been lost. Broke.
This is Notts County's third draw in the league this season. It can be said to be unexpected. It is impossible for Notts County to be truly invincible!
But what makes Notts County fans happy is that in this round of the league, Notts County's biggest rival Arsenal also did not win.
In the previous two league games, Notts County and Arsenal seemed to be getting better. The Magpies won the game and the Gunners won the game.
In this game, the Magpies were tied, they failed to take all three points, and Arsenal also fell out of the chain. They were drawn at home by a relegation team, and they missed a great opportunity to narrow the points gap. Fans lost sleep for days.
After the 20th round, Notts County still maintained a sufficient lead. Although Arsenal worked hard to catch up, Notts County's performance was too strong, which made them sigh with emotion.
