how many sucks in sucked up rhyme
no immature is when an arsenal player tries to assault another player because they getting owned (eboue if in case you take it wrong )
immature is when a player kicks another player gets they getting owned (galls on nani)
immature is when a team cannot handle the skill of another player (gallas and flamini go all upset cause nani out smarted them)
suck suck suck
we will talk after tniteand after the season because then we will see who finishes top
Yeah killa, except those players are not the team. So if you want to talk suck, let's talk individuals... Man united has had it's fair share of them - take your ex wonderful goalie that blamed everyone else for his stuffups! there have been many and there are still some - rooney is one who can't take the pressure when things go his way - it's immaturity at it's best... he is a gifted thug IMO. lol

Hey, thats old news... but why does it still hurt lol.
This year may be interesting, but let's not rule out politicians this early... F1 needs a new 'boss' imo. I wish they had broken away instead of Ferrari accepting the bribe to stay.

Chelsea FC plc today (Thursday) announced record group turnover and reduced losses for a second successive season.
Chelsea FC also revealed a gross turnover of £223.3 million and independent research that indicated 90 million 'core fans' globally.
Group results for the year end June 30, 2007, followed another year of success on the field with football, media, and sponsorship revenues all showing large rises on the previous financial year.
The main figures were:
- group turnover up 25% to £190.5m from £152.8m (2005/6)
- sponsorship revenues up 89% to £32m from £16.9m (2005/6) due mainly to first year of adidas contract
- football activities up 27% to £165.3m from £130.4m (2005/6) due to success on the field, FA Cup and Carling Cup winners, second in FAPL and semi-finalists UCL
- cash spend reduced by 46% to £70.5m from £129.6m (2005/6)
- matchday revenue up 29% to £74.5m from £57.7m (2005/6) due to increased box office/corporate sales and cup runs
- media revenues up 13% to £59.6m from £52.6m (2005/6)
- losses reduced by 7% to £74.8m from £80.2m (2005/6)
- wages and salaries as percentage of turnover reduced by 5% to 71% from 76% (2005/6)
- EBITDA down to £2.3 million negative from £8 million negative (2005/6)
- gross turnover of £223.3 million (includes adidas and other merchandise and Chelsea Digital Media not consolidated in group results)
The research into fan base was conducted by TNS and was taken in 14 major global markets.
Also, following the end of the financial year Chelsea cleared our last remaining external debt by paying off the Eurobond under the terms of the bond arrangement.
Chelsea FC chief executive Peter Kenyon said: 'These figures once again demonstrate that Chelsea is growing in strength as a business and as a club.
'I am delighted there has been such large increases in the major income streams. This has all been underpinned by our fundamental aim, success on the field, and this season we are looking to build on that again.
'Our long term target of operating profit break even by 2009/10 remains ambitious but we are determined to meet it or get as close as we can.
'In the meantime we have made good on our pledges of last year, hitting all of our aims. We have expanded globally as a club, we have reduced our salaries as percentage of turnover, we have continued to be successful on the field, we have increased sponsorship revenue and we continue to invest in our academy and reduce our reliance on transfers.
'With the company also being external debt free and our ownership clearly demonstrating continuing commitment to the long term, I am very confident about the future on a football and business level.'

I'll take it!
If Brad isnt
Hey, I'm in as well - here is my proposal - we all put in 100 bucks and state our 1-2 order, the pool is split between the folks betting - i.e. if there are 5, then 500 bucks goes to the winners, split evenly. Is that OK with everyone else?

Yeah, it looks bad, but there was not intent if you ask me. Studs were up a a bit. Nothing more. Worse tackles all the time. Just unlucky it ended in such an injury.
Edit: Scratch that, studs not even up.
his studs are digging into his ankle.. which looks like its completely snapped.. he deserved the red, and deserves alot worse

No way man, no way.
That is an average tackle that might have got yellow were it not for the injury. These kind of tackles go on every game and nothing happens.
I would not be suprised if the red were reduced to a yellow after the game.
