2007/2008 Premiership Footy Thread

defense was a bit slack, but then again the first 2 choice CB's are out, leaving a defensive midfielder to take up the role..

Looking forward to see Diarra slot in there :) the kid has an awesome amount of talent too
 
Arsenal to be revealed as world's second richest club

For the Gunners, it was an excellent start to a week that will see them announce financial figures that place them above Manchester United and Chelsea — let alone Spurs — and behind only Real Madrid in the list of the world's richest clubs.

Arsenal's total turnover of all the business the club generate, it will be revealed, has shot up to about £180m,about £22m behind Real Madrid, while United's turnover stands at £167m. That is an increase of almost 50 per cent in just one season, such has been the effect of moving to the Emirates Stadium.

:D
The Wenger effect
 
And with that amount of money through their hands, they do not buy top players, but develop younger ones instead. Not a bad move, if you want to make a profit, but not a very good move if you want to win championships.
 
really?

arsenal has won 10000000000000x more trophies than chelsea ever will...

just because a player cost 20 million doesnt make him good.. if you need an example look at bent.
 
3 dodgy penalties in 5 games against Liverpool.

Coincidence?
 
Agger and Alonso suffer curse of the metatarsal

Scans on Liverpool pair Daniel Agger and Xabi Alonso have confirmed that both have broken metatarsals picked up on international duty and could be out for six weeks.

Denmark international Agger has been playing with the injury, but complained of soreness ahead of Tuesday's Champions League draw in Porto and was consigned to the bench.

Spain midfielder Alonso missed Saturday's draw at Portsmouth and aggravated the injury in training in Portugal on Monday and was also left out.

Both had scans back on Merseyside last night and can now expect to miss games against Birmingham, Everton, Tottenham, Arsenal and the home European ties with Marseille and Besiktas.

Club spokesman Ian Cotton told the club's official website: 'Neither player will require surgery but we expect them to be out of action for between four and six weeks.

'Xabi Alonso has suffered a stress fracture to the fourth metatarsal in his left foot and Daniel Agger has suffered a stress fracture to the second metatarsal in his right foot.''

Boss Rafael Benitez has cover for Alonso with Javier Mascherano and Mohamed Sissoko able to partner Steven Gerrard in midfield, but the loss of Agger puts pressure on veteran defender Sami Hyypia, who deputised against Porto and was partly to blame for the early penalty conceded in the 1-1 draw.

Alvaro Arbeloa can deputise in central defence, where Jamie Carragher has only just recovered from a cracked rib, while the only other alternative is young reserve Jack Hobbs, who has no senior experience.

Guess you had some 'dream' last night and got up from your non Utd bed side.

Drogba can (his injured) and in reality, I reckon he'll be leaving in the January window.

Today's voodoo prediction:
Utd 1-0 Chelsea
