^^^Liverpool seem to be catching the Metropolitan Line, which is very very slow and as for Chelsea they are on the Victoria Line which is known for the highest speed. Forget about that catching up business. But I'll like to see Liverpool finish second. I really admire their Manager this days.

Sxb, I'll tell it as it is. People don't hate Chelsea because they are good, they hate them because of their arrogant manager. Ajax 1995 and Real Madrid 2000-2002 have been amazing teams who won a lot but people didn't hate them. Barca is flying at the moment and even the Madrid supporters were applauding them. Why? Unlike Chelsea (or shall I say Mourinho in particular) they are humble when they win and are not sore losers. Viking, Sxb, are you saying that people hate Chelsea because of Magic Mourinho? If that is the case, I think they all are wrong. Will they ''like'' or should I say ''stop'' hating Chelsea if Mourinho was to be sacked? I think this so-called commentators should stop hating and start appreciating and thereafter congratulating Chelsea FC

waryaa Soma, sidee bey wax kaa noqdeen, let us know the reason you forgot the Kings of Europe Opps, appologies in advance Sxb. Seriously, I didn't know whether Liverpool played on that day. Lozt, One thing I am confident with is that the Premier League is under our belt. As for the Barca game, I think we can do the double and beat them again but it all depends with our form coming Feb. It can go either way but I hope for the best. Good game 2 night, Arsenal vs Man Utd . Both Viera and Keane are out but I think the hostility will still be there.

Today's match results Man Utd 3 - 0 West Brom Middlesbro 0 - 2 Blackburn Portsmouth 1 - 1 West Ham Sunderland 0 - 0 Bolton Wigan 4 - 3 Man City Charlton 0 - 1 Arsenal Chelsea 3 - 2 Fulham Tottenham 2 - 0 Birmingham At last Arsenal won.

But a good football fan always recognises good players even if they come from rival teams. Just because I don't see many Arsenal players to be good players does not mean that I am not a good fan of the game. I am sorry to say this, but the Arsenal of this days are not good enough. If you could read my post you will see that I regard players such as Lauren and Toure to be class but that doesnt mean all Arsenal players deserve the same respect. Seems like you dnt have that quality, therefore you are not a good fan of the game, just a fan of chelsea That is a personal attack and I am currently seeking legal advice from my Lawyers, I think they call it deformation of character.

^^^lol. WinningEleven, Sxb hook me up with F Luciano Magalhães 29.

^^^ Sxb, Don't defend them just because they are Arsenal players! They are over-rated, you know it, I know it and every other fan knows it. Its sad that you dont want to admit it. You know that I hate Arsenal with passion, but I still admit that the likes of Lauren and Kolo Toure are under-rated. Let the truth be told sxb! Hit the nail on nail on the head.

^^^What things might that be? Are you thinking of what I am thinking of?

^^^^lol Let the truth be told! You just said it as it is.

Soma, That is exactly what u said about Liverpoool, replacing Benifica with AC MILAN in the CL fINALS, did it happen, BIG no, would it happen this time, another BIG no, double it Nuune, Sxb, Time will tell and in the meantime, I'll zip my mouth. It seems like the whole of the UK (Except Chelsea fans, of course) are against Chelsea, I wonder why? Is it because we are the best of the rest?

I wanna buy strikers with superb form and exceptional skills. WinningEleven, wanna make a deal?

Viking, how you doing? Where have you been lately? Good to see you back. Back to the topic, there are too many over-rated and under-rated players in the league; I agree with Northerner that the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Titus Bramble (Walahi, I don’t know how he made it, he aint a division 2 player) are over-rated. Northerner, Sxb, Steve Finnan was superb player back in the days when he was at Fulham and I agree that he was under-rated that time but actually since jetting to Liverpool…hmmm …..I think he should stay under-rated. Here is my list of over-rated/under-rated players: Joe Cole (Chelsea)……..Under-rated William Gallas(Chelsea)….. Under-rated Eidur Gudjohnsen (Chelsea)…….. Under-rated Gardener (Bolton, Best Jamaican player of his time)…… Under-rated Kolo Toure (Arsenal)……………. Under-rated Henry Camara (Wigan)……Under-rated Papa Diop (Fulham)………...Under-rated Boa Morte (Fulham)….. ……Under-rated Gera (West Brom)………….Under-rated Shay Given (Newcastle)……Under-rated Troure (Liverpool)………….Under-rated Ben Haim (Bolton, He is not in a level to play for Chelsea)…………Over-rated Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd)…….Way Over-rated Ljumberg(Arsenal)…………Over-rated Pires(Arsenal)………………Over-rated Fabrigas (Arsenal)….. Over-rated (Cmon he cant be a substitute for Viera) These are the players I can think of at the moment. Peace

^^Thanx Sxb! Chelsea is a class team and obviously, Arsenal are not in our level. We were too good for them. THATS WHY WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS... THATS WHY WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS... THATS WHY WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS... THATS WHY WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS... THATS WHY WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS... Nuune sxb sorry your wish didnt come true!

^^^^187 Sxb, whats you take on tommorrow's explosive game? Arsenal should prove tommorrow that they can compete with the Champions!! Good luck and am sure it shall be an explosive and entertaining game to watch, can't wait already. Even if your team wins, I dont think you can catch up, but am sure it will do you a great deal in the qualification for the Champions League next season.

^^^As a massive Chelsea diehard, I just hope that dream will come true. I really dont wanna talk about til 22/02/06 Inshallah. I would also love to see Benfica trash LiverBull; cmon Benfica, you can do it again!! Arsenal has a chance but it really depends on their form during that time. I also badly want Rangers to overcome Villa Real, Cmon Mcleash you can break records again. Juventus seems to have got themselves an easy ride while Ac Milan vs Bayern Munich game would be a superb game to watch.

The talk is over, Danny Williams the new Commonwealth Boxing Champion. Judges' decision: It's a split decision... but it goes to Williams. Phil Edwards judges him the winner by 116-113, while Mark Ring gives it to Harrison 114-113. Williams, though, gets the nod after being scored 116-112 byt Terry O'Connor. Once again the Brixton brother proved a point, all along Harrisson has been disrespecting him but now he has the last laugh.

My team the Arsenal, would like to face Real Madrid, not bayern or werder bremen. It will be chance to humiliate the the spanish and send a message out to other teams too. Are you saying this because that club is experiencing bad run? If Arsenal were to face Real Madrid, am sure those words would come and hunt you down.

1986 world cup.....Damn, thats all I can say. Castro and Nuune, you two deserve an elderly respect up in this joint. I don't second how this draw has been conducted, there must be must ding dong going on!! Gutted in deed. Two of Africa's favourites are in group of deaths but I hope they make through the next stages and make our continent proud.

Sxb how you doing? Hope you still breathing! Ac Milan, Barca or whatever team...I say bring it on! Chelsea is a bigger and better club than all this over-rated teams.

Well, I finished 3rd......Well done to my team!!

MAN UTD OUT.....MAN UTD OUT.....MAN UTD OUT..... What a game, what a first half performance with the best five of their players not available, Benfica deserved the win!!! Time for Arsenal to follow them!

^^^^Welcome aboard!! Seems like we got SOL's answer to the Birmingham FC director (Forgot her name)

Absolutely disgusted about my team's performance, they deserve every criticism they get!! lol. Sxb you are the first Arsenal fan I have ever seen speaking the truth about his team. You deserve a medal for that. But seriously, Arsenal team has been underperforming since they lost the unbeaten run to Man Utd and the problem is you lot still have the same way of playing and same crap players like Ljumberg and Pires (Super diver/cheater). But don't worry sxb, you'll get over it.

^^^Sxb forget the 3rd place....its been taken already!!
