This years premiership challenge is gonna be the most competitive. I fancy Man Utd have the slight edge, but Arsenal and Chelsea are gonna be real close on their trail.
If Chelsea manage to secure the services of Crespo they are gonna have one killer strike force. Hasslebank and Crespo would be deadly. If Chelsea sell Hasslebank it would be a huge mistake.
Arsenal lack an all important quality second striker to compliment Henry. Bergkamp is showing his age and Wiltord is too inconsistent.

Yep Chelsea are looking very sharp.
But Man Utd for me - and I see they kicked the geordies at their house yesterday....LOL
I very controversial decision regarding obrien/giggs.....as a Man Utd fan I was jumping/swearing - clearly brought down and what made me laugh - Fergie gets sent to bobby Robsons office......LOL LOL
Obrien EVEN admits after the game that he was lucky to get away with it......pure admission there.....
Nice result in the end though - bias I know but I thought it was a fighting performance....
Man Utd for the title......
...............PIO is no go, DMA all the way...............

Middlesborough 0 - 4 Arsenal
Well, Arsenal cruised to an emphatic victory over the Middlesborough side. It looked like a real stroll in the park for them. They kept 60% possession in the first half with 3 out of their 4 goals coming within the first 20mins. It ended Middlesborough 0 - 4 Arsenal. Amazing skill fromt he Arsenal side, it was like they were teasing the Riverside team some of the time. It just goes to show you that thre are only two teams that can turn on the style like that in the premiership. Man Utd and Arsenal.

Nah, Dela has a point....
Man Utd and Chelsea, if you look at history, there has always been tension and always results in a hell of a match...
I can't wait for that.....Chelsea do look sharp at the mo' but I agree, the skill level with Man Utd/Arsenal seem to have the edge.....only time will tell.......bring it on....
I see Liverpool have not got away from the starting blocks - my mate is a big fan......and I am beasting him over it...LOL

Mouthwatering Premiership ties:
Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal Vs
Man Utd/Chelsa/Arsenal
6 Quality games
Liverpool just don't excite me when they play, far too defensive, not enough attacking play. Heskey is slow, Owen keeps getting injured, Gerrard has lost the plot(the player and the manager).
Best Potential Club Tie
Man Utd Vs Real Madrid in Champs League Final

Those will be 6 great games. Liverpool matches are a bit boring. They have a very boring way of playing. Long narrow passing with no real through ball playing. A blame Houllier for turning them into a pile of poo.

I do believe this is Wednesday the 27th August. I also believe that tonight is the night Man Utd officially welcome Wolverhampton wonders into the premiership. I also believe that to save wolverhampton from a complete hammering, Sir Alex will play some of his younger and new signings istead of the regular team. However, in saying that, I see a large scoreline for Man Utd, irrespective of who is playing. Wolves will be in the premiership for just the one year probably. lol. Alos, it will be nice to see Paul ince playing :-)

Is Barthez going to finally get a first team game for Utd? I'm sure Alex can trust him in goal against Wolves but then again he might let a few in. Ronaldo's first goal for Utd?

Arsenal have won all 3 of their opening games. It was a good game for Arsenal today, they are doing well at the min. Thats always a good sign with teams that havent been changed much, even though the defense still needs sorted. It is also the first time United have won all 3 of their opening games. We did win yesterday, though it was a poor performance by ours and indeed any of the top teams standards. Ah well, a wins a win. Young Ronaldo didnt impress too well, and the midfield was lost quite a bit without Roy Keane controlling it. I think we need to make a big impression with our next match to compensate.
What i find very interesting is another game for Liverpool without a win, especially against the other Liverpool (LOL)....i mean Everton :D. I think we may see an end to the Gerard Houllier saga sometime soon if this continues. I think that will be a good thing too, because his style of play is more suited to PSG and the french style, not the premiership. The premiership, like La Liga, is a more passing game, whereas the french league bores the tits off everyone, including the french. When was the last time you remember staying up to watch PSG or someone play??? Never!
Real Madrid have won the Spanish Super Cup beating Real Mallorca 3-0 on the night, and 4-2 on aggregate. What was particularily interesting was David Beckhams excellent performance in the game. He capped that off with a very rare header to score the third. Im glad he did, as it breaks down any of the barriers that may have seperated him from his teamates after his last two performances. My Hero Raul scored. Damn!! i love that guy so much. Easily the most talented player in the world, I dont care what anyone else says. You have your Figo's, Zidanes, V.Nistleroys, Scholes, Gerards, Owens, Henry's, etc... etc..., but not one of them is as good as Raul when it comes to the finishing. THis guy is the king of the kings of poaching goals. Unbelievable. I just hope that there is a slim chance he still may come to Old Trafford. I'd happily sell my testicles to get him here. (If my girlfriend asks - dont say i said that;) ).
Anyway - its after 4.00am here and i've to be up at 9.00am. Im off to bed.

Houlier had agreat start with liverpool. FA Cup, Worthless, I mean Worthinton Cup and UEFA Cup. He was bringing in talent and knocking out the crap like Redknapp and Macateer who I have never rated.
Then he signed Heskey which was a good signing but he has really gone downhill big time. Owen is the only good striker they have. Baros looked good at first but then stopped slamming in the goals. Diouf again turned out to be another shite signing.
I think he needs to sign some superstar strikers not these inconsistent little nobodys. Liverpool have money why not use it?

Its not really the palyers, but the way in which Houllier forces them to play. Narrow and long isnt a footballers way, yet the french do it all the time. He will probably ge the sack, especially if they dont win their next match. Already they are playing major catch up with United, Chelsea and Arsenal who have won all their first 3 games. Poor newcastle out of the Champions league. We are winning it this year!
