What kind of owned walks out of their teams match just because they're losing? That's not good at all.

Andrei Shevchenko concedes he is at a loss to explain Jose Mourinho's reluctance to use him in his Chelsea first team.

Mourinho has insisted the Ukrainian striker is not match fit following a niggling back injury, with Shevchenko having not figured in any match squad this season.

However, on the contrary to Mourinho's claim, Shevchenko believes there is no reasonable explanation for his continued non-involvement at Stamford Bridge.

"At Chelsea, I am not playing and I don't know why," he lamented.

"I have not understood this but I am waiting for my chance."


At a loss

Shevchenko's grievances do seem to have some credence, given he played 55 minutes of Ukraine's friendly win over Uzbekistan on 22nd August, and he is set to figure prominently for his country in the forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifying double header.

Shevchenko currently finds himself fourth choice in West London, with Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and new boy Claudio Pizarro all ahead of him in Mourinho's striking pecking order.

While Mourinho has never seemingly been overly enthused by the club's record £30million signing, owner Roman Abramovich is both a friend and fan of the disgruntled former Milan favourite.

It was Abramovich that oversaw the 31-year-old's signing but it remains to be seen whether he still figures in Mourinho's plans, upon the resumption of the Premier League calendar after the international break.

Listen Sheva, you don't understand because your English suck and Jose's suck too! You should ask him to join your class!!

He must have found an English teacher somewhere in Milan....

EDIT: Brazil won 4-2. They did a postmatch interview with Kaka and his English is quite good! He must have found an English teacher somewhere in Milan....

United are the richest sporting team in the World accoriding to Forbes, I suppose that means they make a hell of alot each year. Unfortunately there will be no trouble, thoguh I'd love it if they turned into Leeds.

nope believe it or not it's the Washington red skins.
Edit it changed this year, man u is just above them.

What do you mean "everybody knows it"!???  Everybody knows that they get money from the Spanish monarchy too... but you won't admit it! At least in this case, there is Forbes with some clues to back up what they claim!

And what do titles and history got to do with this?

Yes. Everybody knows it, even the Catalonian c*nts or the arrogant ones from Manchester. It's undeniable.

Forbes? Forbes says Arsenal is the 3rd richest club in the world. And Milan 5th. 

Nothing. Just put there to say Real is "rich" in every way you can find for a soccer club. [Maybe I'm translating from the portuguese. At least 'rich' here doesn't mean always money]

they mean value, and a huge part of that is the stadium. emirates is one of the best football facilities in the world and it's pretty darn new, i'd say it's the best in england if not in the world because size isnt everything (2nd maybe to wembley).

What do you mean it's undeniable!?? United are the biggest thing in the North American football market and are as powerful as Madrid in East Asia! Well... anyway... whichever of the two has got a bigger revenue is not my concern. The difference is not big anyway. Someday you might even get your wish granted and see the arrogant ones go down the Leeds-way but your all-white heaven is not going to have any problems... as long as Spain has a King that is!

Arsenal's promotion is huge in Japan (and East Asia in general)... Japan is a BIG market. Also, like Jack said, Silvio's bank account does not belong to Milan! And... Premier League right now is some ages ahead of Serie A (unfortunately for us all). Derby County got E70m just for their promotion in the Premiership... you can imagine how much Arsenal get... and they spend little on transfers!

You should go to the Emirates, it's not that fantastic. I was really excited about going, but it's no better than Man City's in my opinion.

Thing is, you don't like Arsenal, so I think you get a different experience than me, who loves the club every bit as much as you love Villa.

Emirates is a great stadium. I've been many to "his twin brother" Luz (Benfica stadium) and I can confirm it.

   

Didn't know Arsenal were so popular in the East. And yes I know that tv-rights deal in the EPL.

It has nothing to do with that. I don't judge how good a stadium is by how much I like a team, that doesn't even make sense. 

Ferguson Attacked At Train Station 

It has been reported this evening that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was attacked at a London train station yesterday.



Ferguson is believed to have been kicked by a random attacked while he was at Euston Station on Monday afternoon.

The 66-year-old had travelled by train to London, but was not badly hurt and managed to attend a planned function in the capital as planned.

The Scot alerted British Transport Police at the station, who subsequently made an arrest following the incident.

2 super-talents from Spain that chose EPL for their future. Interesting.

FT Portsmouth - Liverpool 0:0

Playing in Fratton Park after the International matches... it's difficult. Plus Gerrard and Torres only played 15 min.

Spurs 1-1 Arsenal
Adebayour.

Robinson at his best 

I can not say, it's not on tv. I'll keep it in mind. I don't care what he does as long as Spurs win. 

Spurs 1-2 Arsenal
'78 Fabregas - Great goal apparently.

C*nts on the top of the league.

Arsenal losing 1-0 in WHL.

Nice to see Sheva getting a game!

Excuse me?
