Chelsea are going to walk the premiership this time round.

That was an absolutely commanding display.

Good point. Real Madrid are in disarray at the moment.

at the moment but there's a while to go til they play again in the champs league. things could change there

at this rate arsenal won't be in the champions league next season

 

[ibiarain]

and arsenal have looked good in the champs league for a change
besides i think wenger really wants the chams league more.. he knows he'll always remain under fergusons shadow if he dosent get the CL

 

[U2Man]

I actually thought that Arsenal would do a little worse than they used to in the Premiership but do better than ever in CL, but the way they are losing matches at the moment, I fear they won't do well in the CL, either.

he'll remain under fergies shadow whether he wins europe or not, fergie has won far more than wenger

i don't see them winning europe, they don't have a deep enough squad

 

[1stepcloser]

i think that the winner of chelsea - barca will win the CL.

remind me how deep was liverpool's squad last year?

 

[ibiarain]

i think that the winner of chelsea - barca will win the CL.

everyone said thatlast year aswell

 

[the rockin edge]

remind me how deep was liverpool's squad last year?

well for starters they had/have a captain

i put them winning it down to Benitez, not the squad. if the same were possible from Wenger they'd have won it by now as they were better a few years ago

i think that the winner of chelsea - barca will win the CL.

barca

I watched some of that Real-Osasuna match.

Guti was lucky to be on the pitch, Roberto Carlos as well. Some absolutely awful tackles there.

If Real play like this in February/March they're going out of the Champions League.

 

[the rockin edge]

lets hope the brazilians (like carlos) have bad seasons for their club and that carrys over to a bad summer in germany

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Hopefully, they're in our group.

Still, Ronaldinho and Adriano are on fire.

 

[the rockin edge]

wouldn't it be beautiful if they never leave the group

[yertle-the-turtle]

Yes, but only if either Croatia or Australia don't make it as well.

Franz Beckenbauer's proclamation that Cote D'Ivoire can make it to the final if they get out of their group is ludicrous though.

I hadn't heard that, but if they beat argentina & holland who couldn't they beat?

besides England of course

there's always upsets, who'd of thought Turkey would finish 3rd last time? etc

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Der Kaiser's on a good will tour and he made the comments while in Abidjan.

I agree, we could be in for some shocks, but I think if they negotiate the group successfully (at the expense of Argentina or Holland) that would be massive. Senegal-France, anyone?

watch the opening game, that was a upset in wc 2002 & euro 2004

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

OK, I'm going to put money on a 1-0 victory for Costa Rica against Germany then.

Or for Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose to score for...Poland.

 

[the rockin edge]

good odds on 1-0 i bet

 

[Sweet Tart]

YAY!!! we beat arsenal!!!!!!

 

[1stepcloser]

i've heard Real Madrid want to sign ashley cole.

and i know for a fact barcelona want Thierry Henry

 

[the rockin edge]

surely not in Jan?
