United struggling with Hull and Liverpool with Tottenham and Stoke camon man.  :lol:

That's the only setback. Liverpool and United did well against the top 4. (Liverpool did the best.) Chelsea's games were both home.. so all I'm saying is, you haven't won the title yet and there is still big away games you have to play.

I think United is in a good spot because we got Anfield and Stamford out of the way.

You say we have problems look at yourself first , your games against the 3 best teams ( im including the Roma game here)you've played so far this season no wins and 2 losses 2 of which were at home, thats a pretty shabby record in big games for someone who wants to challenge for trophies, and i'd be worried about away games against big teams considering your abyssmal performance against Roma tonight :thumbsup:

Win or loose to Roma it doesn't matter we still top our CL group, win or loose to Pool doesn't matter we still top the EPL. I explained in my other post about how we are missing major players, new coach, new system, players like Deco, Cole, Carvalliho not being 100% I think its amazing that Chelsea is still dominating their CL group and EPL. Will worry about big game against big teams when the time comes as for now theres nothing to worry about.  :thumbsup:

That's a dumb thing to say; 6 out of 38 games are played against the top four. Even if United do "well" vs the top four, they can't afford to struggle vs Hull and Stoke or whatever. If Chelsea loses all 6 games vs the other top teams, they'll still have more than enough 5-0 wins to compensate.

United aren't struggling against bad teams. You think Hull is bad? Their promotion year and they were 3rd for so long, they're like Hoffenheim. We should have buried them, but a mental breakdown caused them to comeback. Things like that happen though.

Those 5-0 wins won't help Chelsea if they are losing against the top 4, because rarely is Liverpool and Man Utd going to give up  more points to those smaller teams, and if Chelsea lose to the top 4, then United, Arsenal and Liverpool will just gain points over them and catch up.

What makes you think Chelsea will actually loose to top teams tho? 1-0 against Liverpool and this mornings game with Roma. Now all of the sudden Chelsea will loose to every big team they play huh. Dudes on SG make me laugh sometimes.  :lol:

remember we are still without several major players. Liverpool scored once and defended the whole game even tho Chelsea was in a bad shape. And still we manage to stay top of the ladder. When Drogba, Ballack and Essien return do you think Chelsea can be stopped.

It's not like United aren't missing some key players. Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves, Ronaldo, van der sar ... have all been or are injured this season.

Anyways, I don't see Liverpool winning the PL. They rode thier luck on few occasions and have looked better this year but I feel come Jan/Feb we'll see Chelsea and United battleing for the title once again.

As far as Arsenal goes, I can't stand how Wenger always whines after a defeat how the opposition didn't want to play, was too physical, defended with 10 men bla bla bla. Well, no shit motherfeucker! The fact is that there are teams who due to their limited talent adopted a more physical aproach to the game, no news flash there. Instead him trying to learn from his defetas he just bitches all the time.

After the Stoke game Wenger said that they played with 10 men in their final third for the whole 90 minutes. Well, I have to say i didn't see the goals but they must have been some cracking 90 yeard shots! How else does a team who spent 90 min's in their own half score two goals on the opposite end?

I'm not defending the teams that "refuse to play", but I'm just saying he needs to learn how to deal with it and get a plan B in case the opposition are playing hard defensive football. Just like Chelsea, United and all the other "big" teams who tend to actually play attacking football did ages ago.

problem with that is that the EPL is introducing its one-dimensional gameplan, the long ball. Wenger wants to show the youth that his style of play is still superior.
Stoke is a rough, long ball team. Arsenal is striving to be the opposite

Unfortunately, as an Arsenal fan I find myself defending Wenger more times than I'm praising him.

EPL is all about lots of running, hard work, and one-dimensional tactics (not all teams, im just saying big picture wise)

Man U has already fucked themselves royally. They are around 9 points behind the top two. I think it's going to be between Liverpool and Chelsea this year, with Chelsea pulling away by a good 6 points at the end of the season.

Chelsea is motivated and they're playing some good soccer. I think they are the most solid and consistant team in England right now.

Melbourne, you are right... Arsenal is stupid for letting Diarra go. He is exactly the player they need right now. As good as Arsenal is at finding talent, they are almost quite as shit at letting talent go.

Yeah, United aren't doing too well, but we have a game in hand, so it may not be 9 points.. but it could.

Also, the tough away games are out of the way against the rest of the big 4, but City away will be tough.

Right now 2-0 Villa vs Arsenal :cursing:

such a clear foul on Vela right before Agbonlahor is put through, rapes Gallas (badly :lol:) and then finishes well.

I think Arsenal's best chance was a bouncing header by Adebayor that glanced off of the post. Horrible and raged performance. 4th place at best this season.
