HAPPY BLUE YEAR
If Christmas is the season to be jolly, January is a time of recovery and sober reflection.
And football is no different.
Most of England's Premiership sides have crammed four games into eight days - a festive feast for fans but a savage session for players.
But as the lights go out and the tinsel is packed away, one team has emerged unscathed from the fixture frenzy.
Like an elite athlete who trains on Christmas Day while everyone else over-indulges, Chelsea - blessed by quality in depth - have kept up their relentless march towards a successful defence of the title with four wins out of four.
The chasing clubs, on the other hand, are like the rest of us - breathing a sigh of relief that it's all over.
And they're now assessing the damage inflicted over the holiday period, more congested than usual this season to allow a four-week break before the World Cup.
Second-placed Manchester United survived intact with two wins and a draw, and with a game against Arsenal to come on Tuesday, Sir Alex Ferguson's men could make inroads into Chelsea's 14-point lead.
Liverpool's 10-match winning streak in the Premiership may have come to an end with a 2-2 draw at Bolton, but the Reds have also kept in touch in third with 10 points out of a possible 12.
The likes of Tottenham, with two wins and a defeat from three matches, Blackburn (w, w, w, l) and Aston Villa (w, d, d, w) have also managed to limit the ravages of the season.
But as the Premiership takes a two-week break for FA Cup and Carling Cup fixtures, Sunderland will have plenty of time to contemplate their position 10 points adrift at the bottom.
The Black Cats suffered two defeats and a draw, and with their next league game against Chelsea on 15 January, they may be unable to close the gap until the end of the month.
By then it could be too late, if it is not already.
The newly-opened transfer window will allow some teams the chance to breathe life into their campaigns and refresh injury-hit squads, though it mus not be forgotten that Chelsea also rule the marketplace.
Newcastle could be first to test the water, possibly with a bid for Henrik Larsson to cover for Michael Owen, who will be out until April after foot surgery.
Struggling Portsmouth, too, could have some cash to splash after Russian businessman Alexandre Gaydamak bought into the club.
In the Championship, leaders Reading also threw down the gauntlet after three wins and a draw since Boxing Day to emerge 10 points clear.
Behind, Leeds' four straight wins rocketed them up to third and into a position to pose a creditable challenge to second-placed Sheffield United, who play Hull on Tuesday.
Crystal Palace, relegated from the Premiership last season, also picked up maximum points to put pressure on fourth-placed Watford.
But for last year's other relegated sides Norwich (11th) and Southampton (14th), the respective chairmen face a difficult decision - to gamble and invest heavily in the hope of going back up, or consolidate and accept a spell in the Championship.
Further down the football hierarchy, League One leaders Southend edged ahead of Swansea and Brentford with three wins and a draw, while Wycombe's 5-4 defeat to Macclesfield on Monday left the top of League Two wide open.
In Scotland, the festive calendar was relatively leisurely and Celtic's two wins in two games included a significant 3-2 away victory over second-place Hearts.
Celtic extended their lead to seven points and with Roy Keane likely to make his debut against Clyde in the Scottish Cup on 8 January, 2006 is looking rosy at Celtic Park.
Many New Year resolutions will face their first tests in the coming weeks, but every club across the land will hope they can stick to just one - give up losing.
Every club apart, that is, from Chelsea, for whom it looks like being a very happy blue year.

from : FOXSports.com
After a decade of ill-tempered scrapping at the top of the Premiership, Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson are finally agreed on something - Chelsea are too good for both Arsenal and Manchester United.
Both sides could claim chances to grab victory at Highbury but the major talking point was a total lack of flashpoints as opposed to the dramas of recent years.
That and the Blues' ever-widening lead at the summit of the English game.
United's failure to find a winner means Jose Mourinho's men have emerged from the packed festive schedule with a massive 13-point lead on their nearest rivals.
The gap to fifth-placed Arsenal is an incredible 24 and while no-one is prepared to hand the trophy over just yet, it appears both camps are resigned to the inevitable presentation ceremony at Stamford Bridge next spring.
"Chelsea's consistency is beyond us," said Ferguson. "Eventually we hope to reach that level. We have a young team who will get better.
"You can see what is going to happen to us over the next two or three years and in the meantime we just keep going.
"We want to be the nearest team to Chelsea, just in case they have a Devon Loch moment and collapse. You never know what might happen."
The statement represents the nearest Fergie is likely to come to an admission of defeat without actually making one - and Wenger is in total agreement.
"At the moment, with the number of points Chelsea have, Ferguson is right to say that," he said. "Just now, we are not scoring enough goals and we are not ruthless enough.
"But we have potential and we are on the right track.
"If you look at Chelsea, they have a mature team. All their players are between 25 and 30. They have power and a lot of self-belief.
"We have a young team and it is important for us not to lose big games. I am not speaking about the title but I feel this result was a positive one for us."
The Gunners dominated the first-half but it was the Red Devils who created the game's best chances. The nearest either side came to winning was in stoppage time when Emmanuel Eboue booted Wes Brown's header off the line.
"We had the clearer chances and you would hope to take one of them because that would have won the game," said Ferguson.
"We have taken eight points from 12 and to be honest, I wish it was better. But one thing that has come out of this period is our confidence has returned. The team is playing with great spirit and we can only get better."
For Arsenal, the upward curve may take slightly longer to negotiate and the need to keep hold of Thierry Henry is paramount to their chances of challenging for honours in the future.
But Wenger remains bullish and rejects Patrick Vieira's claim the Gunners are still suffering from his absence.
"I have said many times it took us time to get beyond the grieving process," he said. "But I think we have recovered from that now and it is not a problem." -
