Just Ignor it you are on a forum its not like he is in your face demanding any thing from you.Its guess it must be a bonus of talking about football on a forum ?

Remember some of arguements I had in pubs about footy those was good old days..... :oops:

It takes a better man to walk away with out proving a point it really does it shows self confidence and class.

For me its Chelsea - they have everyone fit for the start of the season essien and carvahlo are massive players for them plus drogba will play a lot more , thier team is settled .

Ourselves. Liverpool FC.

As long as there is no drama's, i believe we can win the league.

When I saw the thread title I thought "obvious, it's Chelsea and Man U"; saw the options and thought
I'd pick "others" and explain that it was both team I saw as our biggest threat.

Didn't do that though after reading the thread; dont wana start a barny with GYBS

I think one of Man U and Chelsea will have a blip and finish 3rd - if I was pushed, I think Chelsea
will have the biggest threat as they have a more settled squad as Man U may struggle to cope with the loss
off Ronaldo and Tevez.

Just think of the fact that it takes two to argue and walk away.

I did that once to a fellow lodger, said there was no point arguing and she forced her way into my bedroom and hit me! Woman was off her trolley, I think the "argument" such as it was, was about a phone bill. I was totting up my calls on the bill and working out 1/3 of the line rental. She said that the owner would have to pay rental whether we were there or not so didn't like me offering to pay because then she'd feel obliged to. Share the facility, share the cost - simples. He could simply have told us we couldn't use the phone, he didn't have to offer useage.

So walking away doesn't always work, but who can hit you over cyberspace? You normally just have last retard standing, getting the last word spat of abuse in thinking that means they've somehow "won".

Simple guys.

Chelsea. I think will be the team to beat....Reasons...

1. Arsenal. Sold adebayor and Toure.. so they will not be top 3 for sure. you dont progress selling your best players!!!!!!

2. Man Utd....Tevez and Ronaldo (30 goals a season) gone for good!!!!. two best players. anyone who says that will not effect them is lying.

3. Man City...... new signings + existing players ..adebayor, toure, robinho, barry, bellamy, SWP , ireland,etc. have never won a prem league title, so why woudl they start doing it now? top six finish not top 4.

Chelsea for me, the team to beat and we need to be on top form.

depdsn which LFC turn up also.

Consistency is the main issue for us. can we keep itr going??

^^^^
I think you'll find Toure did win the league with Arsenal when they went unbeaten and Wright-Phillips won the league with Chelsea in 05 and 06.

Arsenal are an unpredictable lot, the biggest threat to the manc dominance for most of the Premiership but only translating that threat into a league title here and there, but never two in a row. They were capable of going unbeaten, but then Arsene sold off their star players and rebuilt from scratch as seems to be his wont. So you just never know, if their talented kids 'come of age' then they have Arshavin, Rosicky, Sagna, Nasri, Fabregas and a decent supporting cast - even the seemingly useless Bendtner scores more goals than you'd think he would..

Chelsea are usually there or thereabouts, perhaps their problem is consistency of manager.

CHELSEA

03/04 2nd 79 Pts - 11 behind unbeaten Arsenal, scored only six less goals
04/05 1st 95 Pts - record breaking points season, 12 points ahead of Arsenal
05/06 1st 91 Pts - another good season, just eight points ahead of Man Utd
06/07 2nd 83 Pts - six points behind the Champions
07/08 2nd 85 Pts - just two points behind the Champions
08/09 3rd 83 Pts - just three points behind us as seemed to be the case most of the season, seven points behind the Champions

So the only season they've finished seven or more points behind the Champions was when Arsenal went unbeaten, not that it helped Ranieri keep his job with what most would consider a good season and starting point for a title challenge. So even though we finished 2nd last season, it is Man Utd's title to defend with them on for an UNPRECEDENTED four in a row. Chelsea surely are 2nd favourites with no major outgoing players and with such strong previous form. We've yet to string two strong seasons together under Rafa

04/05 5th 58 Pts - our 2nd lowest Premiership tally, 37 points behind the Champions
05/06 3rd 82 Pts - our highest points in the Premiership, nine points behind the Champions
06/07 3rd 68 Pts - 3rd only on GD, 21 points behind the Champions
07/08 4th 76 Pts - closing to 11 points behind the Champions
08/09 2nd 86 Pts - our highest Premiership points tally, but four points behind the Champions

Chelsea never further adrift than seven points, we've only twice been within 10 points. Maybe Johnson and Aquilani will prove key signings, but I doubt I'm the only one on here thinking that Arbeloa was decent enough and Alonso was a key part of our season and fear that his loss could be detrimental to our title challenges. Man Utd have suffered the biggest blow of the 'big four', losing their best player and not landing a really BIG name to replace him. Owen may score goals, Valencia may chip in, but the mancs lost have lost their engine and replaced it with a number of smaller, less powerful ones and they're not even sure if one of those replacing engines will work all the time.

Personaly I fear arsenal the most as I feel their team will step up this year and really go for it.But I am confident we can fend off any one and take EPL.I will be close to blowing me own head off if manc's get it this year grrrrrr.

is that because of all the signings Arsenal have made?

Well I like to say I told you so ..... so I told you so !

6-1 opening day of season

Well eat me words. I hope we can win now as its gonna be a tricky season.

Arsenal is always going to be a good team when all their key players are fit. Problem for them (and us unfortunately) is a lack of depth. Also I think it was a bit of a mirage as the Lescott affair is affecting Everton. What is the bet he will now be sold to City :laugh:

by **KOPMATT** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 11:27 am

Not matter who we vote for on this i think it will be US again if yesterdays performance is anything to go on, I know it was our first league game but obviously Spurs first too and we were SHOCKING! Just shocking.

by **stmichael** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 11:47 am

nobody really pulled down any trees this weekend. i thought chelsea and the mancs were average at best. on another day both birmingham and hull could have got draws.

the overreaction to arsenal's result has been laughable though. i thought our defence was poor but everton's was even worse.
