Arsenal wins 1-0. Diaby.
Chelsea will probably victor as well, after Lampards penalty.

Both FT. Both 0-1.

Arsenal confirms the 3rd place. Chelsea the 6 pt gap to ManUtd.

Don't even know what you mean by that post !

> means... better... superior. Don't you know that in England?

Berbatov wage's is almost the same as the entire Braga's squad. That says everything.

We probably do, I'm just not down with the fancy shortcut computing lingo

Well, at least he's deserved the wage so far!

Actually it's called Porto's essential ebonics; we all had a crsh course at it.

I flunked the course. Didn't attend half the classes.

Most boring sh!t I ever attended

Yeah...Porty sucks big time. Filthy ebonics and all those Zlatan tatoos...yuck!

Horrible job by Kuzcack (or whatever his name is.)

Manchester City-Middelsbrough 2-0.
Reading-Portsmouth 0-0.
Fulham-Wigan 0-0.

Shevchenko scored, oh wait we shouldn't talk about him playing well

If he hadn't scored that one then he should just retire He was in front of goal alone in acres of space

I got to admit, Shevchenko played very well today !! It seems as though he has regained his confidence

It was agianst Sheffield UTD

I mean the goal he scored was still class but with all that space that he was left in I couldn't even imagine him not scoring it, not even if he was in the WORST form of his life.

We'll see when they play Man U or Arsenal to see where he is in terms of getting 'there' imo he was exposed to how bad he has gotten in those games against the big teams, when the pace was frenetic he would get this awstruck look on his face. Scoring goals like that against teams like Sheffield UTD is not what Chelsea paid 30 mil for.

This is not to argue with you but I'm just still not convinced about him yet.

what's up with keepers these days!!!?

here's the goal
http://www.zshare.net/video/robbos-goal-avi.html

Sheffield United, Newcastle United, Manchester United, it doesn't matter who he scores against the reward still stays at 3 points for a win

I think he is finally turning the screw in England, do remember Drogba was the person everyone, especially the media thought was a joke until this season, we all know what Sheva can do so don't be surprised if he starts firing them in soon.

Yes it does matter, have you seen him pull off a great performance against 1 of the top 3 teams?

And yes in the end it is 3 points, but it was hardly a match winning goal in a very tight game, Sheva is still class, and I had no doubts about him putting that one in as soon as he got the ball all alone up there in front of the keeper.

And maybe he is getting back to his best but the performance and goal against Sheffield Utd does not convince of this. We'll see when Chelsea play their next big game. When do they play Arsenal?

and Milan didnt pay 17M for Gila to just sit in the box and look goofy (this had to come in at some point )

Ur not convinced about Shevchenko ?! Misha where r u

TBH, S7 is regaining his confidence. U could see it in how he was trying to do what he knows best. (this makes me feel bad, cuz I dont want him to do well .. ) But the truth has to be told, he did turn it on today.

He has been horrendous all season long !! He has never been the same !! But today, he showed that he still got it. And let's just hope, this is just a one-of ... Cuz at his best, he is easily the most dangerous man with the ball

I think theyl'l play Arsenal sometimes in May.
Its their second-last match.

I do NOT look forward to it...

Arsenal will lose fosho

You cannot even compare Gila to Sheva, totally different level, and when you pay 30 mil for a forward of his class you would expect him to bang them in in every game.

He did have one off games during the middle of the season also, you can't say he's been total garbage in every game, but you've also got to look at who that was against. Watford, Sheffield, Charlton.

I mean did you really expect him to miss the chance he got today?? Boriello would have scored that

Today, Sheva played differently. I guess it's his confidence.

Borriello ?! Who ??


Gila is better than Sheva ....


Well, TBH, S7 has had a couple of good games w/ Chelski, but none like today. He was moving very well and for the first time .. Him, Robbin, Phillips, Kalou, and Lampard connected really well. I think two or three more games of this performance from him will be enough to bring back the real Shevchenko in him.

btw .. I want talking about his goal, his movments were what dazzled me

^^^

I think it's Drogba that messes up with his game, they don't work well together. And in this game Sheva was played as the focal point of the attack instead of one of the wide men beside Drogba.

But Chelsea will most likely still play the 4-3-3 with Drogba as the focal point, since he is the one that has been delivering the goods not Sheva, so he will be the one that is played to his strengths and not Sheva.

I dunno, Sheva moved a lot better than Drogba does. But Drogba does steal a lot better.

I personally thought, it made a difference that Ballack and Lampard didn't play together, and that made a difference with the chemistry R7 was talking about.

Gooners are certainly going to beat ugly Chelski!

This whole big game thing has become annoying of late ever since Henry really it's come around.

To win leagues especially you need to put away the smaller teams, and these are often the hardest games, especially at home. The fans get on your back immediately and are expecting a great performance where as if you were playing a big team it's a completely different mentality.

There is so much expectation on the big teams shoulders, and the teams ranked lower in the league around this year are scrapping for everything possible.

So if you have got an attacker who plays well in the big games (about 4 a season) but can't put the goals in against the lower ones to get you 3 points, what is the point?!

Just an update:
Liverpool-Aston Villa 0-0
Charlton-Newcastle 2-0. A header and a penalty.

Everton 1-0 Arsenal

Andy Johnson right at the end, what a joy this sport is!

Table:

United 75
Chelsea 69
Arsenal 55 (1 game in hand)
Liverpool 54

Next round:

Liverpool-Arsenal
United-Blackburn
Watford-Chelsea

When I say big team I don't mean it like Sheva will choke against them since we all know he's no choker.

But the fact that he couldn't handle the pace of any of the games when Chelsea played the other big 3. And that is a fact.

I agree with you however on the big team - small team issue, but I didn't point out Sheva's so called 'deficiancies' in that context.

There are a whole lot of different things why Sheva isn't doing so well at Chelsea.

1. They don't play football.

2. Everytime the ball is at Lampard's feet instead of passing it he just shoots no matter where he is in the pitch.

3. The Drogba issue, I don't think they work well toegther.

4. Mourinho, not exactly playing to his strengths. He plays him as a wide man for god's sakes.

5. They don't have the players to play the system he thrived in when he was with us. None of their players even resemble the sort of qualities and technical abilities we have. When I here their punters on Chelsea TV saying that Joe Cole is like Kaka I feel like I'm about to throw up

Good point

And Sheva will take Chelsea on to win the EPL

p.s. Now I am between Liverpool and Chelsea for the CL final

Did anyone hear shevchenko's interview of match of the day

It was hilarious he started off speaking broken english and then when he realised he cannot speak the language he switched to italian

What was the reason he left? Something to do with speaking english i think...

will try to find link of video

It was... I guess the lesson weren't so good...

Video please.

Tsk tsk tsk ... English is the easiest language to learn on the face of this earth !! An old timer could learn it in 2 months

Plus, it was his goal to learn english ..

I guess his 130,000 sterling per week contract has kept him busy with where and how to spend than learning the language

Cuz if I made that kind of $$$ and I lived in Japan, I wouldnt even think of learning the language; let the benjamins speak for themselves

F@ck learning english man, all he needs to know are a few keywords and flash some green and he can get hooked up with some of the finest and nicest things in merry old england. He should go get himself knighted Sir Andrey Shevchenko.

and please those who think the diver is better than sheva need to watch milan and not judge from ps2.

Talking from personal experience

Ofcourse, i used to do that when i was Noob and amatuer of milanooo. But now i got the sexy gol tV and i watch all the matches with sexy kaka and fugly ronaldo

Shevchenko, bang, goal, ooo its against Tottenham big deal I hear you say

What a goal, he's back on form.

Agreed on that.


Haha, what are you on about?!!! It's one of the hardest! It's just widely spoken!!!

Sheva's goal was all skill, but he was completely unmarked, so he would not miss that. His shot is still very deadly. I wouldnt say he is back in form yet.

I take it u havnt tried to study any of the Asian languages Hell even the Chinese algebra will take you a decade to understand

(Actually Urdo (Indian) is the easiest in Asia ..)

But because it is so widely spoken (English), it has in some strange way, become a norm in any developed country(i.e. Italy) to know off and speak (eg. tourist).

Watch this sexy Sh!t THe legend scores again http://youtube.com/watch?v=6JDupbXDYRc&mode=related&search=

Haha, he would not miss that? It wasn't even a chance until he made it into one...

Well, no I haven't but I have been told and read that English is the hardest to learn...

AND WE MADE HIM INTO THAT Man i feel so betrayed for some reason, gotta stop watching him score for chelsea.
