All the English Premier League talk here!
Posted by: Portikins Aug 19 2006, 03:16 PM
It started today with... Sheffield 1-1 Liverpool 
They have some injuries, but it's a shame for them to draw agains Sheffield.
Now it's Arsenal-Villa playing in the New Highbury!
Posted by: dst Aug 19 2006, 03:27 PM
at last I think this will be the first ever not-boring Premiership!!!!!
it was back in '96 when there was some real interest on who's going to win.
I think Chelsea will find it really hard to be crowned champions again; their bench is not as good as it used to be and they obviously bought players to go for the CL!!!!
Liverpool ... well even though they drew today I think they'll be good contesters while Man U will have to depend on a great season from Rooney.Arsenal will be great in the EPL too, while they'll hardly have a CL year as good as the last one ...
Posted by: Portikins Aug 19 2006, 03:33 PM
Yup. Liverpool, ManUtd and Arsenal are with good teams. Don't need talk about Chelski.
Posted by: Portikins Aug 19 2006, 05:04 PM
Arsenal drew 1-1 too.

Man. Utd. 5 - 1 Fulham
I watched the 2nd half and I have to say I'm impressed. United played a fantsatic match. Rooney was unstoppable.

Chelsea 3:0 City. Sheva was mediocre
Posted by: X-Offender Aug 20 2006, 06:59 PM
Yeah, he had a bad game. Essien was man of the match IMO.
Posted by: LaPalma Aug 20 2006, 10:50 PM
I have seen the highlights on durch tv. Essien was good, so was Lampard...and yap Sheva wasn' shining at all 
Posted by: Warchant Aug 20 2006, 11:24 PM
well Man U shut up a lot of people today...for a little while at least
Posted by: dst Aug 21 2006, 12:08 AM
I really like the way Ronney is using his power to hit back at FA ... I think he does so rightfully!!!
Posted by: Warchant Aug 21 2006, 02:34 AM
is it me or does sheva look thinner?
Posted by: misha Aug 21 2006, 02:38 AM
He has lost 5 kilograms
Posted by: X-Offender Aug 21 2006, 03:21 AM
Wow! Apparently he doesn't like english food.

YEAH! BORO 2-1 CHELSEA!
In your face, ukrainian c_nt. He scored 2 goals in official competitions (Community Shield and PL), and guess what... Chelsea lost both matches.
More to come.

Man U won 3:0
Saha had a great game. An amazing left foor shot goal plus an assist.

Saha had a great game. An amazing left foor shot goal plus an assist.
if they can keep up their level of play they are going to have a fantastic season
they also did this without rooney

"There's only one Ronaldo" ... Man Utd fans. Glad to watch and hear this.
Good start by Man Utd.
Posted by: LaPalma Aug 23 2006, 11:46 PM
Good start by Man Utd.
I guess the ManU fans are a lot smarter than W. Rooney...
Posted by: X-Offender Aug 24 2006, 12:31 AM
Sheva had a very good game. He scored, gave a fantastic assist to Lampard who hit the bar and nearly scored from free kick. I thought Chelsea was a bit sleepy tonight, Boro deserevd to win.
Saha had a great game. An amazing left foor shot goal plus an assist.
Great goal that.

seen Thatcher's http://d.turboupload.com/d/912160/Pedro_Injury_-_geeza66.avi.html on Pedro Mendes??? Now that is so LAME!!!!

Shame on you f@ck!!!!!!!!

The stupid referee gave him only yellow card
Posted by: dst Aug 25 2006, 12:35 AM
I know ... man it is horrible just to watch it!!! I wouldn't be surprised if he had broken his neck!!!!
if FA give Thatcher less than a 5 match ban then they're bigger a joke than Inter!!!
Posted by: Portikins Aug 25 2006, 01:12 AM
Pedro Mendes is a good guy. He was some matches on the portuguese NT I think.
He did not deserve that. If that happened to Ronaldo, Rooney, Zlatan, Tevez, Gattuso, Vieira, Keane... bad boys, I wouldn't be surprise but Mendes?
I hope some match bans from the FA.
What a idiot this Thatcher is.
Posted by: misha Aug 25 2006, 01:17 AM
Manchester City defender Thatcher was booked after crashing into the Portuguese midfielder early in the second half of the goalless match as both players chased a ball over the touchline.
Mendes was knocked unconscious and suffered a seizure. The incident was replayed relentlessly on TV on Friday.
As Thatcher was cautioned for the offence it would normally fall outside the FA's remit for punishment by video evidence but a spokesman said that officials were investigating their own disciplinary regulations to see if there was an option for treating it as an exceptional case.
City issued a statement on Friday containing an apology from Thatcher.
"Manchester City can confirm that Ben Thatcher has personally written a letter to Pedro Mendes to apologise to him following the tackle in the match last night," it said.
"The club does not condone such action and the matter has been dealt with internally by (manager) Stuart Pearce."
The incident infuriated Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp who said after the game: "What do you have to do to get a red card these days, kill someone?
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said they were investigating the incident after receiving complaints.
On-pitch confrontations rarely pass beyond an initial police investigation, although last month Lee Bowyer was fined $NZ1700 plus costs by magistrates after pleading guilty to threatening behaviour after he punched former Newcastle United team mate Kieron Dyer during a match last year.

Shevchenko will be reminising the Milan days .. If Chelsea fails to live up to it's expectations.
Chelsea has a very strong side and I can put money on this, that they will close the season by winning it. I mean this team has proved it; maybe a slap on the face was all that was needed for them to kick start their winning ways.
*fingers crossed* hope we get to play them in the CL ..
Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant Aug 25 2006, 05:38 PM
Manchester United look a strong team again this year, 5-1 and 3-0 in their first 2 games, C.Ronaldo just looks incredible since the start of the season the boo's in England are just making him an even better player.
I think Chelsea may have some competition this year...
Posted by: misha Sep 9 2006, 03:19 PM
It was fun to watch Liverpool loose 3:0 against Everton
Posted by: Portikins Sep 9 2006, 03:48 PM
I think Chelsea may have some competition this year...
C.Ronaldo is very different in ManUtd, and in the NT. In the NT he can do whatever he wants, show-off, all you know... just for the photos, girls, etc.
In ManUtd he's very quite not "sh1tting" the team-play, just thinking on the match and playing good football (what he knows).
PS: Everton was damn lucky. Gerrard 2 times at the post...
Posted by: misha Sep 9 2006, 04:02 PM
The referee was sh!t. Before the second goal there was a foul on Alonso + he didn't whistle for penalty in the second half when Everton player used his hand .
Posted by: Portikins Sep 9 2006, 04:04 PM
Yep. I saw that too.
Posted by: Portikins Sep 9 2006, 04:19 PM
60min on 2 matches: Chelsea 1-1 Charlton, Arsenal 0-1 M'boro.

2-1 Chelsea. Carvalho header.
Posted by: Portikins Sep 9 2006, 04:29 PM
Penalty for Arsenal. Stupid Downing...
Henry scored. 1-1.
Posted by: Portikins Sep 9 2006, 04:45 PM
What a ridiculous penalty for Chelsea. Bad ref decision.
FAT Lampard misses the penalty!
Posted by: Portikins Sep 9 2006, 05:04 PM
2-1 for Chelsea. FT
1-1 for Arsenal. 2 points over 9 possible. Great job gunners...
Hope ManUtd continues to win.

don't worry ... mind the Dutch!!!

1-1 for Arsenal. 2 points over 9 possible. Great job gunners...
Hope ManUtd continues to win.
Even though I don't like united I hate Chelsea even more so, I'm with you on this one, I really hope they keep winning and maybe chalsea can take a tumble again.
And why hasn't Sheva scored again yet? I really want to see him score, to see if my theory about him is right, because so far every time he has scored a goal chelsea have lost, however this is just based on 2 games.
Posted by: amancik Sep 12 2006, 01:46 AM
I don't think he can adapt to the way Chelsea plays, perhaps he's used to Milan's formation ... he better off playing with a poacher rather than a player with similar style
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 12 2006, 01:56 AM
I've noticed that. He doesn't adapt to english football in general. I'm pretty sure he'll regret his departure from Milan pretty soon.
Posted by: KillerMax Sep 12 2006, 07:08 AM
Yeah, it's so obvious he is not fitting in... And sometimes I feel like his teammates just don't want to pass the ball to him...
And if you look at his facial expressions during a game, he looks so scared and inconfident... Poor boy...
Posted by: han2503 Sep 12 2006, 08:37 AM
Doesn't he play next to Drogba? I would say that Drogba is more of a poacher than an assisting forward.
I'm pretty sure that he didn't just go there to score goals and win with Chelsea, money was definately involved in this, no matter what he says.
And if you look at his facial expressions during a game, he looks so scared and inconfident... Poor boy...
Augh poor him. I'm feeling sorry for him now
Posted by: dst Sep 12 2006, 10:51 AM
Drogba is a 'thing' ... they take long balls at him all the time and then run to get it back when he heads it ... that's practically all that Chelski does!!!!
Posted by: han2503 Sep 12 2006, 12:46 PM
Isn't that basically how all the english teams play, accept for Arsenal!
A 'thing'
They should attach something to the floor in fron of the opposing net and when it's sensors feel the ball, it shoots it toward the net. At least they don't have to pay the thing any money, and it certainly won't get booed for diving.
Posted by: misha Sep 12 2006, 07:01 PM
It will take some time for him to adjust to the new league and new style (like to every player) but he is a smart player and you all will see him scoring and assisting a lot.
@han money is always involved but for him it's not a primary cause.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Sep 12 2006, 07:07 PM
He wouldn't have gone for lesser wages. Gallas is the only person who I know of who did that....
It's the trend in modern football...what with careers being short and all.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 16 2006, 11:49 PM
So our old acquaintance meets Liverpool tomorrow, do you think that the sheva liverpool curse will continue. Maybe third time's the charm for him
Posted by: arivanjj Sep 17 2006, 12:39 AM
should be an interesting match, and yeah i think it's about time sheva scored.
Posted by: misha Sep 17 2006, 03:32 AM
I had a little affection for Liverpool in the EPL but after the famous game I want them to lose in every game.
Posted by: dst Sep 17 2006, 09:47 AM
so it's ... Chelski vs Liverpool and Man U vs Arsenal ... hmm I don't know 'bout the former but the latter will be an easy win for Man U, as it usually is!!!
Posted by: LaPalma Sep 17 2006, 02:00 PM
Not that I like Liverpool, but I really want them to win this one, and I don't think Arsenal will make it that easy for ManU
Posted by: dst Sep 17 2006, 02:27 PM
I don't think the Gooners have a choice there ... it will be trashing they're going to find at the Old Trafford!!!!
Posted by: dst Sep 17 2006, 02:33 PM
HT Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool, Drogba 42'
Posted by: han2503 Sep 17 2006, 02:45 PM
Ballack sent off
51' RED CARD MICHAEL BALLACK!! The Germany captain ordered off for a stamp on Momo Sissoko - no call for that! Either it was a badly mistimed challenge or it was something altogether more unpleasant.
Posted by: misha Sep 17 2006, 03:39 PM
1:0 at the end. Liverpool missed a couple of good chances ,especially a Gerrard volley
Posted by: amancik Sep 17 2006, 03:44 PM
not a good moment for Liverpool fans ...
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 17 2006, 04:41 PM
Great match that was. Kujit had an incredible chance in the 1st half hitting the bar and indeed, Gerrard should have scored there. Sheva was pathetic, I don't know what's the matter with him, but anyway I don't care.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 17 2006, 05:23 PM
Yeah and I want him to score, to see if my theory about him is right.
Come on Sheva score.
Posted by: LaPalma Sep 17 2006, 05:54 PM
So...this doesn't seem like Arsenal gets trashed.... 1-0 Adebayor, great pass by Cesc!
Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant Sep 17 2006, 05:58 PM
Arsenal win, 2 very boring matches, sums the EPL up really
Posted by: misha Sep 17 2006, 06:01 PM
I think Arsenal-United was a good match. Arsenal played well. Totally deserved win
Posted by: dst Sep 17 2006, 06:21 PM
Tactical masterpieces both were, not boring
Arsenal win by Adebayor!!!???
I suck big time in predicting that's why I didn't bother messing up with that Fantasy Football thing ...
I used to like Arsenal but now that both Bergkamp and Pires are gone that feeling's gone!!! I like Van Persie though ... and Kolo Toure ... maybe I'll learn to like Theo as well
Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant Sep 17 2006, 06:33 PM
Ah my mistake then, just like watching chess you mean
Posted by: dst Sep 17 2006, 06:36 PM
ofcourse ... you just didn't 'get' the game yet ...
Posted by: KillerMax Sep 17 2006, 06:37 PM
I didn't see Liverpool Chealsea but Man U Arsenal was horrific for a top clash...
Posted by: dst Sep 20 2006, 09:43 PM
Xabi Alonso scored from behind the midfield line again!!!!
The guy's amazing, I really like that player!!!!
Posted by: Portikins Sep 20 2006, 09:46 PM
The guy's amazing, I really like that player!!!!
What a goal it was.
That player has class. Just like Pirlo.

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 20 2006, 11:12 PM
Yea saw that goal, right after our match .. But it was the goali's fault, I mean he slipped, or else it was the second slip up in today's round of games, after Agliardi's mistake ofcourse
Posted by: dst Sep 20 2006, 11:21 PM
still it was beautiful ... and funny; look at Alonso, he turns around a couple of times and then desperately decides to shoot in a "Why the f@ck don't you make a move for me to pass you the ball ... There you go!!" way ...
"Oh my God I did it again!!"
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 20 2006, 11:46 PM
What a strike!
Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant Sep 22 2006, 02:44 AM
That was some goal, ok Harper slipped but still, Wow!
Posted by: arivanjj Sep 22 2006, 07:32 AM
yeah it was, it's not his first, i think he's pulled this trick off some other time.
by the way that's a very nice sig..
Posted by: dst Sep 22 2006, 12:33 PM
yes that's a wonderful sig Ash has ... amazing color!!!

tribalfooball.com - September 22, 2006
Arsenal captain Thierry Henry admits if he couldn't play for the Gunners, he'd love to play for Liverpool alongside Steven Gerrard.
"A kid asked me on Wednesday if I would have liked to play for another team," the Arsenal and France striker said yesterday. "Straight away I said Liverpool.
"First of all, I would have loved to play with Steven Gerrard and second I like the club and their fans. There's something about Anfield that you can't explain.
"I love it when you step out of the dressing-room and you see the Kop, the scarves, and [hear people] singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Just that, that would do it for me.
"Obviously it can never happen because I love Arsenal too much. There can never be a possibility of playing anywhere else in England."
Henry was speaking at the launch of the Impact Art initiative for the Willow Foundation, the charity set up by Bob Wilson, the former Arsenal goalkeeper, that arranges special activities for seriously ill young adults.
Henry has donated the �27,000 prize for winning last season's Golden Boot to the foundation and his artwork will be auctioned.
Many players even rivals like Henry really likes Anfield/Liverpool. At least he has no problems to say the truth.
Posted by: dst Sep 23 2006, 12:00 AM
that is good but I really hope he shuts the f@ck up!!! everytime I open the Sky Sports page there are two new Henry quotes ... God have mercy!!! Let's hope this will stop once he returns to playing some football!!!
Posted by: Portikins Sep 23 2006, 12:38 AM
At least he knows "how to talk".
Some of them, like Etoo, every time they open the mouth... well, you know.
Posted by: Portikins Sep 23 2006, 02:51 PM
Liverpool 3 - Tottenham 0
Good match. Good goals.
Now, it's Fulham-Chelsea.
Posted by: dst Sep 23 2006, 02:56 PM
Some of them, like Etoo, every time they open the mouth... well, you know.
well if you mean he's polite then yes, that he is ... but to me everything he says is bullsh1t; I just can't stand a guy that always complains about refs and/or something else when he loses ... he's a total whiner!!!
Posted by: misha Sep 23 2006, 11:15 PM
Liverpool 3 - 0 Tottenham H.
Arsenal 3 - 0 Sheffield U.
Aston Villa 2 - 0 Charlton Athletic

Posted by: misha Sep 23 2006, 11:32 PM
So good?
Posted by: dst Sep 23 2006, 11:35 PM
he was excellent ... and he scored the first goal !!
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 23 2006, 11:45 PM
I saw most of the Fulham - Chelsea match. From what I managed to see, Sheva was still zero. I come to think if he keeps playing like this, Mourinho will get him out of the first XI.
I wonder why they gave him the number 10 jersey.
Posted by: dst Sep 24 2006, 01:07 AM
beats me ... it could only happen in an English club with just one English man in the whole squad !!
Posted by: Portikins Sep 24 2006, 01:13 AM
Yup. Another bad performance by the ES. Fat Lampard scored 2, and Kalou played good too.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 24 2006, 01:57 AM
I don't think it's Mourinho's choice to keep playing Shevchenko .. I think it's Abramovic's choice ..
Cuz Mourinho is the type of manager that would play the players on form, and with the vast array of quality players at his disposal, I don't think it would be an issue to bench Shevchenko .. But then again, if he doesn't it's his @ss on the line
Posted by: Portikins Sep 24 2006, 02:04 AM

Yup. It's obvious for anybody that it's not Mourinho who says who's in/out in Chelsea's market. On keeping Sheva... well, maybe Mr Abramovich wants that. Chelsea is a bit weird this season. IMO, if they win a single trophy, that'll be very good for them.
Posted by: misha Sep 24 2006, 02:13 AM
They aren't convincing but still winning. With all the talent that they have it gonna break through sometime this season. I think that league title will be theirs .
Posted by: KillerMax Sep 24 2006, 02:49 AM
Yeah, they are the most consistent team in the EPL.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 24 2006, 03:03 AM
ppl said this from the very beginning of the 2005 season, that as long as Abramovic owns Chelsea, he owns the EPL .. I hope I'm not exagerating; there is no team that could do it the way Chelsea does it .. Juve u might say ? yeah with the help of Moggi, they did get consecutive league titles. But Chelsea are an over equipt squad .. I mean he has like 2 players to cover most positions on the field, and some even 3 players !!!
Chelsea's next goal is the CL, as Abramovic stated at the beginning of the season ( couldnt find the quote, but I read it somewhere ) .. Why not, they have 'THE perfect team'. And that doesnt mean the EPL isn't a given for them
IMO, Chelsea's game has no taste to it .. I went to the Chelsea - Liverfool game last season at Stamford Bridge .. Their fans were the coldest I'v seen, they stand up every 15 mins say "Chelsea' 3 times then sit back down (what a bunch of idiots) .. It's like everything is for granted ! Ok excellent team, but so is Milan and the only difference between us is that we have that something extra that Abramovic can't buy, u know it, I know it, and every Milan fan on this site knows it
Posted by: KillerMax Sep 24 2006, 03:13 AM
Does it look something like this>>>

Posted by: KillerMax Sep 24 2006, 06:04 AM
Forza Rossoneri!
Posted by: dst Sep 24 2006, 08:52 AM
like Abramovic would care ...
wasted money ... and you knew it would be !!
And guys please don't bash Shevchenko ... you know he's giving it all for his family so that he can learn English ... it's only logical that he's under-performing
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 24 2006, 04:38 PM
Yeah. When playing he's probably thinking "Oh sh!t I've got a lot of homework for tomorrow"
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 25 2006, 12:15 AM
Lol .. I doubt he'll pass this semester
Probably needs tutors and a Chelsea fan Instructor for him to pass
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 25 2006, 12:21 AM
Probably needs tutors and a Chelsea fan Instructor for him to pass I guess he just pays them with $$$ so no problem there really. C'mon, he has more important things to do... like playing golf.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 25 2006, 12:32 AM
Yeah .. Golf, smake the ball .. sit in the cart .. smake the ball .. sit in the cart .. smake the ball .. sh!t fell in the lake ..

Benitez needs def' to put Gerrard in the middle. NOT ON THE RIGHT. If he contiues like that... Liverpool is going to keep losing points.

I've seen the match too (at least the second half of it) Liverfool seemed so helpless...
Posted by: dst Sep 30 2006, 03:26 PM
I can't really get why he's doing that ... he's tried it so many times and it never worked out, some times he even had to re-place him in the centre during the game ...
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 30 2006, 04:22 PM
That match actually made me lose my bet. F@cking Liverfool.
Posted by: DvZ Sep 30 2006, 04:57 PM

Sheva.... another match and no goals , i'm loving this.

to think that he nearly got sent off minutes before the 1st goal... typical RVP
Posted by: han2503 Oct 1 2006, 08:19 AM
, i'm loving this.Well he was trying, made some nice moves, but still nothing like the Milan Sheva, he got into the match a bit for about 10 minutes during the 60th minute, but all through the game it was like he wasn't even playing.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Oct 1 2006, 01:50 PM
Yeah .. It's as if he's invisible .. But when he actually makes a couple of moves, he then goes back to being invisible again .. Like in CL games he was playing as a rebounder for Drogba (his positioning in the 18 ie ) tsk tsk tsk .. And in Milan he was KING .. hehe he can just go do u know what
Posted by: Kaka Is Brilliant Oct 1 2006, 03:49 PM
Haha he plays in the shadow of Drogba now (not literally!) Ah gotta love it

Yeah the money keeps him good. Still wonder why he couldn't have learnt English of Maldini!!!
Posted by: han2503 Oct 3 2006, 07:36 PM
THEY say it's hard to keep a good man down.
Well, it's harder even to imagine what ails Andriy Shevchenko.
It can't be the English weather? After all, he's been to Europe with Chelsea but it didn't make much of a difference.
So, what's with the big man? Is he carrying a dead leg? Has he suddenly become cross-eyed in front of goal?
Something's wrong. A 630 million ($89m) striker doesn't suddenly become soft. But that's exactly what we've been seeing.
Brought over from AC Milan to plunder the net, the paid assassin has suddenly become a dud.
So far he has been lucky. Chelsea players have come up in support of their misfiring colleague.
But for how long?
Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel all tried to boost the Ukrainian but it didn't seem to make a scrap of difference against Aston Villa on Saturday.
He was, like he has been since scoring against Boro on 23 Aug, a shy reflection of the sturdy, nimble-footed Ukranian who made great things happen for AC Milan in the Italian League.
Drogba, who scored Chelsea's only goal against Villa, did not abandon his strike partner.
Indeed, he said Shevchenko's arrival at Stamford Bridge was 'what the doctor ordered'.
'It gave me a huge injection of confidence,' said the Ivory Coast striker. At last, it was back to the system I was most accustomed to. There was Sheva and there was me. Two strikers.
'So far I have been the one who has scored the goals but I'm sure Sheva will start scoring very soon. Yes, we shouldn't be too harsh on him. The goals will come. He is that sort of player.'
Speaking on Match of the Day, former Liverpool and Scotland star Alan Hansen saw it differently and he seemed to come close to the mark when he said: 'He is heavy-legged. I don't think he can run that fast.
'At the World Cup, he'd been out for a long time and the argument was that he wasn't fit.
'I keep on hearing that he's going to score goals. I'm not so sure. So far he has not been great and when Michael Ballack and Joe Cole come back, I'm not sure he's going to play.'
Carlo Ancelotti, his coach at Milan, had kind words for his former striker and said he just needed time to find his feet at Chelsea.
'This is natural,' he said. 'It happens to anyone who changes environment after many years. He has to adjust.'
Others were not so sympathetic. Kakha Kaladze, Shevchenko's good buddy at AC Milan, had warned his friend that it was not going to be easy in England.
'I told him he was making a massive mistake signing for Chelsea,' said Kaladze. 'But I didn't push him to reject the offer.
'Now it breaks my heart to see him playing this way. He was a goal-scoring legend at the San Siro. Now he is a shell of his old self.'
Right now, most seem to be leaning on the side of tolerance. But, the question is, for how long?
Posted by: KillerMax Oct 3 2006, 09:56 PM
Forza Kaladze!

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Oct 21 2006, 03:56 PM
I think Shevchenko finally found what he was missing !!!!
All that was missing today was the Milan jersey on his back, thats how good he was .. If he's gonna score, it's gonna be today !

Posted by: arivanjj Oct 21 2006, 04:28 PM
Drogba scored but he's offside.
Posted by: han2503 Oct 21 2006, 05:38 PM
So finally he got off the mark again, all be it a bit luckily, since if it didn't deflect James would have save that.
So do you think this was him breaking his duck or just another momentary lapse in his drought.
He still isn't playing that well, and disappeared, for huge moments in the match. Still a far cry from the old Sheva

Yup .. Worn-out, but I think he broke his duck .. He regained the confidence he lost .. Though, I don't think he'll be the same, he will score again ( and consistently, IF he plays as he did today )

He played well today. Without mistakes and created a couple chances for himself and his teammates. Slowly but surely he will be the old Sheva again.
Posted by: han2503 Oct 21 2006, 05:50 PM
I don't think he will ever return to being the old Sheva, and his game today was definately not perfect. But definately a big improvement, the shot he had save by James in the first half reminded me of the goal he scored against Inter in the CL a couple of sesons ago.
I don't know if this is the ice breaker for him, but I still have doubts
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Oct 21 2006, 06:01 PM
I'm not sure if I want the old Sheva, from the looks of it we could end up facing them(Chelsea) sooner or later
Posted by: han2503 Oct 21 2006, 06:58 PM
I don't think we can judge wether or not Sheva can ever get back to his old self, this goal doesn't prove anything about his current form or that it is the turn around for him.
He still wasn't having a good game, most of the time he would disappear, then pop up with a shot or pass.
I personally don't think he could ever be the Sheva that he was with us.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Oct 21 2006, 10:30 PM
Nope, he'll never be the same, still the weight of his name and experience are enough
I don't really care what happenes to him, I'm just curious to know if he can still do it; and he proved it today
Posted by: han2503 Oct 21 2006, 11:12 PM
I don't really care what happenes to him, I'm just curious to know if he can still do it; and he proved it today
I don't really think he proved anything today, he scored a luck goal and was completely free to place it perfectly, but he needed a defletion to put it in. Thatr is definately not the same Sheva that we are used to.
OInce I see a performance by him that I was used to seeing during his time with us then I will say that he has still got it, but right now, I'm still not convinced.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Oct 21 2006, 11:29 PM
Let's hope u'll remain that way
ps .. It wasnt because of the goal .. I saw something in him .. I could tell he wanted it bad !! He wanted to score, he was after every and any ball .. He was like f@ck this team work sh!t, I'm going for GOLD .. If he keeps this attitude up, he'll be convincing all of us ..
Posted by: han2503 Oct 22 2006, 08:43 AM

Well he has been desperate for a couple of weeks now.
The day I see a "milan oerformance" from him with atleast 2 goals, then he will convince me

Man Utd 1-0 Liverpool at the HT. Ronaldo and Crouch on the bench.
It's unbelievable how Benitez keep putting Gerrard on the right and Garcia in front of Sissoko and Alonso (it's obvious S.Gerrard should be there)
And this rotation system (98 consecutive games playing with a different 11) is definatly not working in England.
If Liverpool loses (as it seems to be) they'll be 11 points behind the leaders (ManUtd and Chelsea) and their season in PL will be over. (Fight for the 4th place...)
PS: For me, Liverpool have the 2nd best squad in England.
Posted by: dst Oct 22 2006, 02:05 PM

Goalkeeper Cech needed emergency surgery to insert two metal plates in his head after the clash in the first minute of Chelsea's game at the Madejski Stadium.
He is expected to be back at Chelsea's training ground in Surrey next week to begin the lengthy process of rehabilitation.
The Czech international goalkeeper, 24, has been told it will be three months before he can expect to train normally.
A Chelsea statement, released on the club website, said: "Chelsea FC is happy to announce that Petr Cech has returned home from hospital.
"He continues to make excellent progress from his injury and will continue his rehabilitation and return to light training at the Chelsea training ground next week.
"It is standard medical practice to allow three months for a fracture of the skull to repair fully and that is the time-scale we are all working to for a return to full training.
"It would be greatly appreciated if the media continue to respect the privacy of Petr and his wife."
just curious as to how well Chelsea is going to be able to do in the long run.

Damn, I wanted Man U to win this one, but at least they're still top.
C.Ronaldo was probably MOM, but Essien was great as well.
Sheva and Ballack are still big 0s, especially when the game would pick up pace they get lost.
Posted by: X-Offender Nov 26 2006, 11:11 PM
I don't think Ballack was so bad like most of you say. Were Lampard or Robben any better?
Posted by: Portikins Nov 26 2006, 11:14 PM
IMHO, yes. Way better.
Ballack in Chelsea is not even half of the 'Bayern's Ballack'.
Posted by: X-Offender Nov 26 2006, 11:22 PM
I don't agree. I watched the match and Ballack, Essien and Carvalho were the best from Chelsea's side, IMO.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 26 2006, 11:25 PM
that shoulda been a red. it was malicious and drogba knew full well what he was doing.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 26 2006, 11:29 PM
drogba and especially sheva were Sh8t, whereas saha and rooney were very lievely. i found chelsea got little width even tho they tried a lil more near the end. and giigs and especially ronaldo were getting forward all game. but ya eventually ballack,essie and lil lampard got more into the game.
Posted by: mchanna Nov 26 2006, 11:46 PM
Ballack in Chelsea is not even half of the 'Bayern's Ballack'.
it's a difference playing in Bundesliga or in Premier League.
And it's his first season in chelsea...

Chelsea have a new official website: http://www.chelseafc.com
Really good one.
When I see that one, LiverpoolFC.tv, ManUtd.com, Arsenal.com... and them I've a look at our (acmilan.com) ... I mean... what a difference!
At least they've improved their image with a brand new website. Others, just change the background and sh!ttie stuff like that...
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2006, 09:57 AM
Robben was sh!t. But Ballack was still worse, all he did was foul and lose the ball. Ballack was just a pedestrian on the pitch.
Lampard was ok, imo Chelsea's MOM was Essien.
Carvalho made a couple of stupid mistakes, he just scored the goal to cover that up
Again, Ballack was awful, Sheva was non-existant, did he even touch the ball?? I think he only made something like 10 passes in the entire match.
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 27 2006, 12:06 PM
He is becoming like Gila, you don't see him on the field..
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2006, 01:06 PM
That's called mastering the art of invisability
But it's different, Sheva is the type of striker who normally get's involved inplays from the midfield, if Gila doesn't get the support he needs he would be easily faded out of the match.
But in a sense he is becoming what Gila was last season to us, although Gila was actaully scoring goals last season. So far Sheva has got something like 4 goals, and who has he scored them against, Watford, Bolton? And non of them where match winners, they all came when Chelsea where already winning by more then 2 goals.

It seemed that way, but the replay showed he was online with the defender .. Could be contriversial though ..
As for CL .. What's Porto's situation, do they have a chance to make it through ?!
Posted by: Portikins Dec 2 2006, 06:15 PM
If they win at home vs. Arsenal they'll be on the top of the group. If with that result + CSKA win in Hamburg = Arsenal out of the CL.
There's only 1 way to FCPorto go to UEFA. Lose at home against Arsenal and CSKA win.
But Arsenal play without Henry in Porto so... I don't know. Not easy to predict.
Posted by: misha Dec 2 2006, 06:17 PM
Porto and Arsenal have 2 points more then CSKA. If there will be a draw they both are qualifying no matter what cska does in their game.
my prediction: draw

They can also loose. There were cases before when two teams knew that they just need a draw and they played accordingly. For example Man Un a couple seasons back.

No it wasn't, the defender on the left played him on-side, it was very clear in the replays.

A Dubai-based consortium has confirmed it is in exclusive talks about a takeover of Liverpool.
Dubai International Capital (DIC) is thought to be nearing a buy-out of the Anfield club worth £450m.
"Liverpool's investment requirements are well publicised," said chief executive Sameer al-Ansari, whose firm has begun to examine the club accounts.
"We hope we can agree a deal that will provide us with the opportunity to fund its needs both on and off the pitch."
The 5th richest man in the world will be the next Liverpool owner...
Not even Abramovich... has money as the Sheik of Dubai. Basically the owner of Dubai.

No, we're not. Silvio bought Milan 20 years ago, and like mchanna said, he's italian. It's a complete different situation than the ones of Chelsea or Liverpool. Also, it's been a very long while since Silvio spent so much money like Abramovich is doing every year. Things have changed.

What difference it makes if the owner is Italian, Swedish or Black Metal fan????
Football turned to business and the clubs are companies now, so this is meaningless!
All that matters is the players, the heart you put in and Maldini

Beckham tops rich list with £87m in the bank
David Beckham's value on the field of play may be on the wane, but the former England skipper remains peerless when it comes to football's high earners.
According to a survey of British footballers and foreign imports plying their trade in the Premiership, Beckham remains by far the games' richest exponent.
Top ten
Despite slipping down the pecking order at Real Madrid this season, Beckham tops the rich list poll with a figure of £87million, more than twice that of second-placed Michael Owen who is said to be worth £32m.
Beckham's personal fortune is down to his £4.4m a year contract with Real, which expires in the summer, along with income from advertising contracts with the likes of Gillette, Adidas and Pepsi. And despite losing lucrative deals with Vodafone and Police sunglasses, Beckham still found enough cash to pay himself a £19m salary out of the coffers of his company, Footwork Productions Ltd, last year.
Robbie Fowler, like Beckham, may be entering the twilight of his footballing career, but shrewd investments in the property market along with his Liverpool pay packet see the former England striker complete the top three with a £28m nest egg.
Chelsea's Andriy Shevchenko is the top foreign earner playing in England in seventh place, his £121,000-a-week deal at Stamford Bridge helping to swell his wealth to £22m, £1m ahead of Arsenal's Thierry Henry.
Another Chelsea summer import, Michael Ballack, completes the top 10 with with a relatively modest figure of £18m despite his £130,000-a-week deal.
The survey, in the current issue of FourFourTwo magazine (also highlights the amount of foreign money pouring into the Premiership, with overseas investors worth a staggering total of £13 billion.
That figure is set to touch the £20 billion mark should Dubai's billionaire ruler Sheik Mohammed complete his £450m takeover of Liverpool in the New Year.
But the wealthy Arab would have to settle for second place behind Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, whose own dealings in the world of oil see him top the list of wealthiest investors with a £10.8 billion fortune.
American investors Malcom Glazer and Randy Lerner come in fourth and seventh respectively in the poll of investors. Manchester United owner Glazer, 78, is said to be worth a wallet-bulging £1.05 billion while Villa's new Stateside sugar-daddy has a healthy £789m in the bank.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_bin_Rashid_Al_Maktoum:
"His fortune is estimated to be in the region of $14 billion. [1] If he were listed on Forbes' list of The World's Richest People, he would rank 23rd, but Forbes does not list him because it is impossible to determine what belongs to him and what belongs to his government. On 4th December 2006 his Dubai International Capital (DIC) Investment Group has engaged in takeover negotiations for Liverpool Football Club in a deal rumoured to be worth £479m.
His wealth is said to be more than the $14billion that is listed, the $14 billion is "family money", he has a personal wealth of $13.8 billion which would take his net worth up to $27.8 billion(£14 billion) which would put him 5th in the worlds rich list"

Yeah I know, but they have tough games ahead, 1 against Arsenal the other against new castle. If they lose any points in those they will start to drift away from Man U (which is something I want to happen
)That's why Mourinho was complaining about having to reschedule the match against New Castle. Because he didn't want them to have a nine point advantage over Chelsea, even if they have 2 games in hand over Man U

That doesn't mean anything. Chelsea will win both matches. I doubt Arsenal can do something in the Bridge. Same for Newcastle.

The gooners where lucky (Thank god) I think Some Chelsea players might be hanging around the Milan players lately, they have contracted the 'post hitteritis desease. They hit it something like 3 or 4 times??
But their goal was also somewhat lucky if you might call it that, Hleb was blatantly fouled by A.Cole at the start of that Chelsea move, but WHAT A GOAL from Essien
.
Posted by: han2503 Dec 10 2006, 07:43 PM
Chelsea did merit the win in the end, but guess what? They played their best football when ES was taken off.
Mourinho should stop listening to Abramovic and stick to his tactics and game plan. Chelsea seem to be playingh like they are with 10 men when they play with Sheva. And also they don't play the diamond formation well. They should stick with the wingers. Robben was great when he came on

Of course if you put in (25 min till the end) two fresh attacking players + put attacking Essien as RD + the pressure of final minutes to win you will get a change. It could have work if it were the other way around.
Drogba was playing bad also. And SWP was sh1t.
Posted by: han2503 Dec 10 2006, 07:59 PM

Agreed but you can't deny that ES was 'sh!t' Also, accept for one timid shot on goal all he did was misplac passes.
Somthing that the 'Milan Sheva'# Never used to do.
It's useless trying to defend his performances when heplays that bad.
And we all know that he is still playing because of Abramovic. If the situation was different Jose wouyld have benched his @ss 2 months ago
Posted by: dst Dec 10 2006, 08:02 PM

I'm not denying it. He was bad but Drogba wasn't much better.
He is playing cuz Jose knows that sooner or later Sheva will adjust. You cannot adjust without playing
Posted by: dst Dec 10 2006, 08:08 PM
What's the reason comparing them?? This is the same to me as saying "He was bad but Gila hit the post" ...
Whether he will adjust or not time can only tell. Tonight he was bad, period!

Sure continue believeing that
He is playing cuz Jose knows that sooner or later Sheva will adjust. You cannot adjust without playing
Yeah Drogba was bad but not as much as Sheva, He was losing balls, and wasn't EVEN getting in good positions, let alone score.
Just saying that he is playing because they want him to adjust is BS imo. I was watching Chelsea TV today and they where talking about this with journalists, and the Chelsea TV reporter asked them why they are so hard on him. And this sports writer said this "He's had time to adjust he's a world class player and if it wasn't for his relationship with Abramovic Jose would have benched him a long time ago. Robben had a bad half hour against United and he is benched immediately, Sheva is having bad game after bad game and he still get's the starting berth." Then this journalist went on and said something about him being friends with Roman "I remember this episode when Chelsea and Milan had arranged a friendly and Abramovic and Sheva where in deep conversation, to the point where Carlo Ancellotti had t yell at him 'Andiamo Sheva, Andiamo' to return back to training" I think this is proof enough that it's not just me and some others who feel this way about Sheva getting the special treatment but eveb journalists who continue to call Mourinho out on this. And despite what Mourinho says we all know that if the situation was different and Sheva wasn't as close as he is to Abramovic he wouldn't have got as much chances as he's had. End of.
Posted by: misha Dec 10 2006, 08:38 PM
I'm sorry but I think it's BS.
It's easy to say that it's because their relationship. What would you expect from a journalist? It's a juicy story. There is numerous examples of a very good players, world class players that's took for them some time to adjust. And guess what they played cuz there wasn't quastion about their ability just like there isn't about his. Why Wenger hasn't benched Henry when he was bad at the begining? because he knew that he need some time to adjust and you cannot adjust from the bench
or could you? Just because it's happens to be that Sheva has good relationship with Abromovic it's convenient to use that every time against him. If you think that somebody can say to Jose what to do then you are wrong.
Posted by: mchanna Dec 10 2006, 08:44 PM

Do you doubt Robben's ability? Does he deserve to be shown the bench because of a bad 30 minutes against Man U? Especially when he was coming on as a sub!

Of course he does interfere. If Jose doens't do what he wants him to then I'm sure Abramovic wouldn't have any problem sacking him.

Posted by: han2503 Dec 10 2006, 09:28 PM
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why the hell people keep comparing the 2 situations. Henry went to Arsenal as a failed MEDFIELDER from Juve. Sheva went to Chelsea as an established WORLD CLASS striker, with experiance, in probably the most defensive league there is. Two COMPLETELY different situations!!!
Roman snagged a whiz to Chelsea, and as long as everythings alright he won't interfere.
And the agreement....
Roman might not interfere in anything else but he does interfere in the Sheva situation!!! You don't have to 'know people from the inside' or anything else to know this. If you know how to add 1 + 1 then you would figure the situation out easily.
I wouldn't imagine Jose jeopradising a result in an important match just so a player could 'adapt' no matter how much money and how good he is. Chelsea CLEARLY play better when he isn't playing, Jose is probably one of the best managers there is right now, if I myself and a couple of other millions of people see this, then I can't see why he wouldn't see it.
There IS pressure from Roman to play him, no matter what anyone from the Chelsea camp says.

Chelsea CLEARLY play better when he isn't playing, Jose is probably one of the best managers there is right now, if I myself and a couple of other millions of people see this, then I can't see why he wouldn't see it.
There IS pressure from Roman to play him, no matter what anyone from the Chelsea camp says.
NOPE!
Jose does everything regarding football.
a l a"I do the football, you do the business!"
and quote: "I know nothing about business, and Roman does know nothing about football"
Maybe Sheva's Roman's darling, but that doesn't mean that jose plays him just to please roman. As we know, roman knew nothing about FB, years back.
