Premiership 2007/08

If Chelsea play like this they're gonna get nowhere in the league. While I think both the teams weren't impressive, the difference between Man Utd and Chelsea was that most their players were averagely good (bar Silvestre/Ferdinand), while in the case of Chelsea, I didn't even notice Lampard or Essien touch the ball and their defense looked hit or miss, also love SWP running across the pitch to cross to no one . Looks like the players may have to adapt to going back to work with less space. Also, lol at Ashley Cole man of the match.

That and in a little over a year, Lampard has missed 3 penalties in 3 important shoot outs, you would think they'd start telling him to sit the fuck down come shoot out time from now on.

As a United fan, I will be fair to Chelsea and not judge them by how they played in the Community Shield game. After all, it's only another pre-season friendly. They were also without quite a few key players.

I do agree that Lamps and Essien were hardly noticed though, but in saying that, there wasn't really an outstanding United player I don't think.

Evra was awesome.

No, I'm wrong, he was. He played really well the other day, and he's improved alot since joining us. I suppose what got me was the fact that Ashley Cole of all people was given the MOTM award.

On the coach on the way back we had a debate about Cole getting Motm, Most of though Evra should of got it.

[Baddar]

Yeah, I personally couldn't see the logic behind giving him MOTM. If there's any Chelsea fans who wish to enlighten me why he was given it, feel free. I haven't got a clue personally.

[Baddar]

Damn.

I've just read on sportinglife.com that apparently, the Tevez deal has been "held up" and is unlikely to go through before the weekend now. Shame, 'cos I was looking forward to seeing him play tomorrow night.

[ONO]

Haha. My mate was hoping to see him play Glentoran tomorrow night, looks like it won't be happening.

[Thomas]

Everton now have the best defence in the universe.

[J-Rod]

[IAceI]

Looking into it in so much detail? May as well admit the fact Newcastle will no doubt be injury ridden again and 'underachieve'.

It's their training pitch, they swear by it!

[Guest Ringie 500]

Incidently, North America's top pundit claims Villa will finish sixth, I think he's lost it >_>

Wherever I'm reading Premier League previews, no-one seems to know how Fulham are going to do, and its the same with me. Some people say we'll go down, others are touting us for mid table with ease.......obviously, I'm hoping for the latter.

[IAceI]

I'd say all teams from 10-16 or so are virtually interchangable come the end of the season. It's usually all very tight in that section and a 2 or 3 wins at the end of the season can see the team go from looking almost relegation bound to knocking on the door of Europe almost.

You must surely be a Newcastle fan to tip them for the title.

Not starting a new thread for this but why have Sky Sports News replaced their old music with the Reqiuem For A Dream song? It's awful and out of place. :thumbsdown:

[IAceI]

The new Sky Sports News layout and music just makes it all seem so much more sinister.

[therockbox]

I hate the new Sky Sports layout. I'm not five, I don't think that just because something is shiny it's automatically brilliant.

Oh, and the scorebar in the bottom left hand corner, what the fuck?

[IAceI]

It's too ESPN-y with its little headings too.

[ONO]

Too Americanised.
