As my mate Alan Shearer said, once the games get into double figures, it will get more interesting. :)

LOL, funnily enough this is the text I just received from Al...

" Hi STICK-boy me 'ole m8 - Hey that RolfW's a bit of a name-dropper eh?
Love to Angelina, Rachel and Keira. Four in a bed... you lucky &*${@#d "


Bloke keeps pesterin' me all the time at the moment. Think he's after borrowin' me yacht.

I think the Premiership is still the best league in the world even when it's not sparkling. It's normal to have the odd dull patch. When everyone accepts the fact that they're going to finish 20 points behind Chelsea, perhaps they'll open up and have some fun.

:D

Nobody thought that top filght football was boring when Liverpool or ManU were winning every game week in week out. They used to employ whatever tactics it took to go home with all the points.

Arsenal played some fantastic and beautifull football, but once the other teams learnt how to contain them and then expose them defensively, they stopped dominating.

It's not the Russian's fault that when Sunderland play Portsmouth that the game is cr@ppy and negative.

All truly great and consistant teams are built around a solid defence.

It's not just that Chelsea have loads of money, it's that both ManU and Arsenal are SKINT! O-Ha

Having said all that, I hope it blo-Oo-Ody livens up soon! :-flash:-clap

Man City and Everton kick off at 11.15am because they both need the sky money. Bit early to get really pumped up I would have thought. Still, maybe Everton will score their 2nd goal of the season.O-Ha

I think it has in a way since players are so overpaid and don't entertain like in the old days when they played for football not for money back then.

Bring back the old days.;)

For too long the Masses have had it their own way and now that a quality team has finaly broken the Man U/ Arsenal monopoly they (the mass hanger on army) don't like it.
It's a case of "It's my bat and my ball" and as its not going my way I don't wan't to play anymore.
Well tough Sh!t.
Fact is, this is a wake up call to all of you red followers , so to use another quote-
If its too hot, get out of the kitchen.

Fergie and Wenger are well past their sell-by-dates so get rid of 'em,
Following RED will only give you bellyache and soar grapes won't help either.

The futures bright,
The future's BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a great match to watch, don't think that Liverpool were three goals worse than Chelsea in play, but I enjoyed every minute of it. :)

indeed, the game has changed (tho i wouldnt have put it QUITE this way), but Man U n Arsenal are by no means dead-n-gone, we may find ourselves in a similar situation to La Liga, where there are normally 3 or more teams with a realistic chance of the title (and dont think Liverpool will never join the contenders, Rafa has plans!!!).

To all non-Chelsea supports -> they WILL lose eventually ;) we jus may have to wait til they have won the title!

you beleive drogba repaid his £20million + fee with 2 pull backs?

rafa's poor tactics cost us. the sooner he realises that the system h plays only works in eurpe the better.

too much money is ruining our game. it has created teams like chelsea/united whi the leser team dont bohter trying to beat anymore, they try not to concede and then play attacking against simlar or weaker sides. its a business, no place for passion, compassion etc.
