What is with the Americans and their misuse of the word football? I have never watched this so-called Super Bowl up until last Sunday and the word boring is not exactly the right word to explain this. The game never continues for a minute, it has to be stopped every time. I got agitated and had to change the channel. The other thing I noticed was there are lots of referees, what is that all about? One referee and two line mans should be enough.

^^^Liverpool winning the premier league, that Spaniard is in a dream land. How are you my brother...a friend of mine also began supporting Chelsea in the days of Ruud Gullit and he says Ranieri was instrumental in laying down the foundation for Chelsea as he brought Lampard & Makelele and don't forget gave Terry the opportunity to play week in week out and named him as vice captain. Bob, I am good bro, doing great with the grace of Allah (SW). I agree Ranieri, the tinkerman, was instrumental when it came to laying down the foundations of Chelsea FC. Remember he is the one who also finalised the deals for Arjen Robben. Good manager but Abromovitch and his crew stabbed him in the back. The way he was sacked was bad. But at least the guy who took his place was also instrumental by winning us 2 league titles and the carling cup. I never wish bad luck on a player but I have been praying for this since he moved. Payback is a b!itch. 187, Sxb, even though I am not a big fan of Ashley Cole, it is really sad for you to say such a thing. Every club experiences transfer dilemmas; remember how Arsenal got Sol Campbell? How did Tottenham fans feel losing their top defender on a free transfer? I am a big fan of William Gallas and if I had the chance, will never sell him for any money and matter of fact, Arsenal fans are forgetting how much money Ashley Cole made them considering they got Gallas as well as £5 millions. You guys should appreciate and congratulate him and stop hating on him. I have little bit of a challenge for you guys, since everyone in here supports one of the big four, who can name their eleven outside the top 4. 187, your team looks fishy Sxb, sup with Kanu, Anelka and Campbell? Does that ring any bells? All former Arsenal players. My selection: ...................Jaaskelainen (Bolton)............... .........Richards (Man City)...Campbell (Portsmoth)...Woodgate (Middlesbrough)....Volz (Fulham)......... .........Arteta (Everton)...Bentley (Blackburn)...Huddlestone (Tottenham)...Pedersen (Blackburn)......... ................McBride (Fulham).......Berbatov (Tottenham)...... Subs ---- David James (He has been inspirational this season and I think he should be England Number 1, Robbinson is disgrace!) Derbishire (Blackburn) Garry Speed (Bolton) Kanu (Portsmoth) Gareth Barry (Aston Villa) The whole of reading team expect Hunt because he had such a bad intention for injuring our goalkeeper. The team has been a surprise package this season, Wigan of last season.

Very sad! Italian football is deteriorating with the fans issue and not forgetting the big scandal which involved the likes Juventus, Fiorentina and Milan.

Waaleykum Salaam Wr Wb, Bob 187, Why does everyone think Chelsea FC to have been non-existence before the takeover? Chelsea has been there before Abromovitch and will be there when he leaves. Remember during the time of Ken Bates, the stadium used to be sold out. What does this tell you; Chelsea Football Club had passionate fans before Abromovitch invested in the club. I became a Chelsea fan during the times of Ruud Gullit, who I think was one of the best Chelsea Managers. Be back later on, Insha-Allah.

^^^^lol. Henry is still crap though, the magnificent thing about the goal he scored was the quality of the cross. Any average striker would have finished it. 187, I agree sxb, I think the young Arsenal team is underrated. Fabrigas is exceptional!

I shall warn you about the dangers of the group you advertising here, the Hizb ut Tahriir is one of the groups that will enter hell-fire and Is it not Allah (SW) who only decides on who enters paradise or hell? Istaqfurllah! Allah knows best!

I haven't been to Aussie land but I know the likes of Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka are bunch of racists but I dont blame them, it is a Leeds thing, if you know what I am mean.

^^ Very interesting in deed! Just what you anticipated. The league is tight now and any team between the first four can win it. Well done to Arsenal. Yesterday's disappointment is history now, Arsenal did play very well. Fabrigas is proving me wrong, the guy is talented. I wonder how Henry became the man of the match? Eboue was class, his cross was magnificent! Even calamity Sendoros played well. The whole team deserves a praise. Arsenal dominated the whole match, Man Utd were lucky to be ahead and were not threatening at all. As for Chelsea, I just hope that the likes of Terry, Carvalho, Joe Cole, Robben, Boularouz and Cuducini will be back otherwise the chance of winning the title will be slim unless new players come in. The premiership is the best league in the world!

Aisha, Eriterian aymeseiknin. Kemey aleki shikorina? Wlc to SOL and hope you enjoy your time here.

Happy Muxaram ppl, wa kulu caam wa antum bikheyr!

Masha-Allah! I wish him all the best in the near future. Insha-Allah he will be more successful.

Bob, Salaam my brother? Hope all is good!

Viking stop hating on Jose. Monaco were class that season as they eleminated Chelsea who were one of the favourites. Man Utd were also strong but Benni McCarthy was on form and made them pay. I think Porto deserved to win and Jose deserved it as much. UEFA CUP and CL cups. A feat he accomplished in two years in a row while operating at shoe-string budget. Viking, if Champions League was easy, how come Porto won the UEFA cup the season before? Was it coincidence? Jose sometimes hits the nail on the head of which many people dont like it but please give him the credit he deserves. Look at how Real Madrid are, the world's best players play for them but have they won any major trophies the last 3 seasons? No! They recruited lots of Managers but still can not win? Sometimes money cant buy success but with Chelsea, Jose has been a class act! Northerner, Sxb, our defenders and goalkeepers have been sidelined due to injuries and Jose can not get a replacement as Peter Keynon has auctioned the sale of Robert Huth and Gallas and the only replacement that we had was Khalid Boularouz who is out of touch at the moment. Furthermore Jose was right to critize the Academy as they were not producing young defenders who can be counted on. The only option he has is to bring in new players and I totally agree with him. How come Liverpool have so many midfielders and why does Rafa still want to buy Mascherano? It is because he thinks he has lost Mohamed Sisoko to injury and want a replacement for him and I tottaly understand that. Whats your take on the big games this weekend? Liverpool vs Chelsea Arsenal Vs Man Utd

Does any one know of a swimming pool dedicated to muslim women in the evenings or weekends? Clapham Common, opposite the KFC.

Just-A-Brotha, please have respect for others! Respect is two way traffic, you give it and you get it back. This is a public forum and everyone has the right to contribute whether asked or not asked and I can smell you are having a go at Northerner because he edited your posts. Follow and respect the forum rules, period! Enough said.

Rafa claims that the Premiership is what matters for Liverpool this season and I think he can still continue dreaming. Northerner, The takeover by the Dubai Billionaire is imminent according to your Chief Executive and might happen anytime within the next weeks. 187, Do us a favour and trash Man Utd on sunday and we'll try and deal with Liverpool. Good to be back

Is he a role model already?

^^^Sxb, if Barca could have finished on top, Chelsea will still not play Liverpool because two teams from the same country cant play each other in the next round.

^^As a Chelsea fan, I hate Barca more than Liverpool

Liverpool are unpredictable when it comes to the Champions League, so I am sure it is going to be a good clash. It all depends on the night and it can go any way. For the first time, I will be rooting for Liverpool.

^^^Welcome back. Drogba is proving to be worth the millions Jose has paid for him. Socod, what a goal he scored! I am sure it is going to be a contender for goal of the season. Actually, Lampard and Ballack's strikes were also magnificent even though they counted Ballack's goal as an own goal. I think Jose should quit the diamond midfield as we are superb when we play 4-3-3.

Chelsea 3-2 Everton West Ham 1-0 Man Utd So does Alex Fergie still think Man Utd will win the league? I am sure they will drop more than 2 points this season! The league is getting better and better. Liverpool are third, their best position so far this season. Arsenal are not left behind as well, just one point behind Liverpool.

^^^What is your take on the Liverpool vs Barca game?
