Actually agree with you mate, the guy is a monster.

If I could cherry pick a player it would be Essien.

Yourself?

I'd love to see Mascherano give your knees a test!

Arsenal easily brushed aside Spurs and are playing some great stuff,at the moment.
Easy,too,for Chelsea but the referee gave them a big helping hand.Penalty,probably but the sending off was very harsh.
United,still not convincing,but two excellent goals from Berbatov,in particular and Rooney.
And well done to Pompey for their second 4-0 win in a few days.If Paul Hart keeps them up,after all their problems,he deserves Manager of the Season imo.

Manager of the Season is not a term being applied much to Rafa Benitez,at the moment.Liverpool have lost 6 out of the last 7 !!
If they lose at Lyon in midweek you get a feeling that something has to give.For the sake of all their fans I hope is the two Yanks who sell up and go.

The natural order has been re~established, well except for Liverpool of course. Hard to see how they can come back. Don`t blame the Yanks entirely, they didn`t spend the cash on average players or tinker with team selections.
Please don`t give the lack of money excuse, Arsene Wenger has put that to bed ages ago.

I said at the start I could envisage three London teams in the top four, I still wouldn't rule against it.[/quote]

Chelsea and Arsenal for sure but I think you are asking a bit much of Fulham ! 8)

Really, I could swear he's won nothing for five years, was trailing villa for huge parts of last season and had fans and the media questioning his methods.

Sounds familiar.

So everybody connected with Liverpool are all ok with their situation, that`s alright then. I think the only people not happy with the way Wenger was running things were spotty faced, glory hunting juveniles, and headline grabbing journalists. True Arsenal fans never doubted his ability or methods. I notice that several Liverpool old boys are now publicly criticizing Benitez. Baa Baa, if they lose to Lyon would you not accept they will be deep in the mire.

I think that yes they are not getting the results at the moment but I'm sure there league position has been worse at this time of year and like always I expect that they will recover but I hope not as that leaves 4th place open. I also expect to see Arsenal not to continue this run, they didn't look that great against spurs just got the breaks given to them.

:mrgreen: you sound almost as bitter as 'arry :mrgreen:

here's a tip, if you're gonna come to the emirates & park the team bus in front of your goal, don't leave the keys in the ignition :mrgreen:

spurs were ok up until the first goal, (rapidly followed by the second :D ), they then lost heart & went to pieces.
could & should have been even more of a thrashing in the end.

:cheers:
