EPL 30/1/2008 - Chelsea vs Reading

It's all systems go for Chelsea in this live commentary and play by play soccer match in the English Premier League between Chelsea and Reading at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are still right in the hunt for the English Premier League title and while most of the attention has been on the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United, everyone would do well not to forget about the Blues as they have been chomping right at the coattails of both clubs above them and should either of them slip up, Chelsea would be ready to pounce and overtake them. In fact, other than Manchester United, Chelsea has been the most consistent English club in the EPL and they have strung together unbeaten run upon unbeaten run when it mattered most. And they do this even without most of their key players and perhaps those key players should start to sweat a little given that they have been shown to be Touchable.

While all the controversy surrounding the departure of Mourinho has actually helped unite Chelsea's players even more and given them impetus to break Manchester United's temporary stranglehold on the EPL title, the same cannot be said about Reading in this live commentary and radio broadcast game which they really need to get some result from as they continue to struggle to get away from a relegation battle they can ill afford to lose. While Reading surprised and delighted many at the same time last season, this season they have suffered horribly at the sophomore jinx and perhaps the expectations were raised too high and the team, manager and fans are all suffering for it at the same time. But they should trust Steve Coppell who has shown himself to be a decent manager and hopefully he can continue to keep Reading in the EPL and show us the nice football they are capable of despite having quite a bruiser in Stephen Hunt, who continues to try his best at impersonating Robbie Savage.

Chelsea should not have too many problems in this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match in the English Premier League against Reading. Nothing less can be expected other than a win and while they might show their customary struggle to scrap to it, they should still be able to overcome a plucky Reading side and collect another three points to inch closer to Manchester United and Arsenal who are both prime to suffer blips in form. We do not expect too many goals in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match between Chelsea and Reading, but it can hard to call especially with Chelsea involved, but there should be enough action to keep the fan awake.
