” My wife is happy, so am happy”, these are the words of Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal. Van Gaal broke a record of first five consecutive win since the exit of Sir Alex Ferguson and what can one say, its a happy season and a happy coach.
Let’s check out the major talks so far in the EPL

• Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie and Juan Mata where on fire as Manchester United settle the dust on their Premier League campaign.

• Frank Lampard scored his 175th Premier League goal, drawing him level with Thierry Henry in fourth place on
the all-time leading goalscorers chart.

• Manchester City keeps the three point gap between the table toppers Chelsea intact and Manuel Pellegrini is positive on defending the Premier League. And reports have it that Isco is again on Man City radar with Marco Reus a seeming failed project.

• Lost but found: Michael Carrick have being given a laud by his fellow team mate Robin Van Persie as a key man in their victory against Liverpool.
The Dutchman believes the 33-year-old’s
distribution from central defence was key in helping Louis Van Gaal’s register their sixth consecutive victory in the Premier League.
“I think today Carrick at the back made a big difference,” Van Persie told SkySports.

• TRAGEDY!!! Zambian players involved in a fatal crash:
Three Zambia national team players involved in a road accident on Sunday are said to be in a stable condition.

Nyambe Mulenga, who plays for Zesco United, Changwe Kalale of Power Dynamos and Satchmo Chakawa from Green Eagles were reportedly travelling to Lusaka on a Zesco United Football Club minibus.

The minibus collided with another vehicle in Kabwe.
The Football Association of Zambia (Faz) said there have been fatalities and that Mulenga has broken a leg.
“Sources at the accident scene reported that the driver of the Zesco United bus died at the scene, as did three others on the other vehicle,” said Faz on its website.
Zesco United FC have since released more details about the condition of the players involved and other club officials who were on their minibus.
“Defender Nyambe Mulenga sustained a fractured right leg and is in a stable condition. Changwe Kalale, who got a lift, and Chakao Siachimo, who came for
negotiations, are both stable,” said Zesco United in a statement.

Club accountant Lomuthunzi Mbeba, marketing officer Fusya Bowa, administrative officer Frank Chitambala and committee member Peter Mutale
also suffered fractures and are stable.
