Liverpool are worrying me too. We can't buy a premiership goal at the moment, and we dont seem to be creating either. On a positive note we are not conceding, but with Chelsea looking invincible already that wont help much.

The fact hat niether 'pool nor MUFC Galaxy looked like they could be arsed and were happy to settle for a point is not exactly encouraging is it?

A lot of my friends are really losing interest in football.

For the first time in god knows when I barely watch the pool game - it was clear in about 5 mins it was going to be ****.

Did you know that premm scoring is at its lowest ever - and if Chelski wernt in our league it would be the lowest in europe ever...

Hopefull football will get so Dull Abrom will [composite word including 'f*ck'] off and buy another sport - the next one could be "dont steal your own states cash and try to improve thier humanitarian results!"

Perhaps its just me, but even when united won alot it was never like this? I mean the race was always closer - now it seems won before kick-off.

Some of the seasons united won it was more or less over by Easter - take the rose tints off.

sorry i don't think Abromovich is the problem, its attitude fo the players and to a lesser extent the managers that seems to be putting most people of. Bunch of overpaid wankers who don't seem to have any real respect for a job most people would kill for or the fact that they represent their nation (In Englands case).

The discepline in the game is a disgrace, as are some of the tactics, Bolton were time wasting after 15 minutes on sunday. People are leaping to Rooney's defence saying he is only young every time he f's at a ref. Fairly sure Roman didn't make either of those things happen.

There is good no reason that Arsenal, Man U or Liverpool shouldn't be mounting a decent challenge at this stage in the season. It was only 2 years ago Arsenal won the Premiership without losing a game. Oh! But Chelsea have more money! So? Does that explain why niether Man U or Liverpool turned up yesterday? Don't think so.

Abromovich is just a symptom of the fact that money is more important to everyone involved but the fans, but most of us are too stupid to walk away.

FWEI, and no mistake.

Even i shook my head at Rooney, he lost us 3 points against villereal.

I think it was 01 when united won it in march, but thats the only season they walked it away.

My thing with Chelski is that If I said to you now that they will not lose this season I expect most ppl wouldnt think i was to crazy, where as when Arsenal achived it, if I had asked the same thing at the start of the season, and ppl did say, you laughed.

The reason Chelski wont lose this season isnt through amazing counter-attacking play that Arsenal possesed that season where all the cogs fitted as one but through squad size alone. a team like Arse or United ad to some extent Pool can match Chelskis first team - but they cant match two teams, and a Chelski friend of mine pointed out that next season they will most likely have a team for the League,Cup and Europe... how quaint.

I think someone put it best in the paper. when it used to be a two horse race with United and Arsenal, the other runners were at least close. what every one has thought would be good, a 3 horse race is quickly turning into a 1 horse race, and thats not good for the prem or English football.

Personaly I think ppl are really switching off already - I live in hope that United can try and keep close - but with each passing year Chelski will become stronger and the premm weaker. untill Abrom leaves its only going to get less interesting surely?

Derby vs Saints was the game of the weekend.

Championship = Where it's at (2 turntables and a microphone)

sorry, i think blaming all on Chelsea is just Man U whining.

Fergie blew it when he sold Beckham and he's been messing it up then one way or another since then. Again nothing to do with Abromavich. As for having one team fo rdifferent aspects of football, how is that any different to the general contempt Arse and ManU have shown to the league cup? Or man U not even defending the FA cup one year?

The whole 'not being able to match 2 teams' thing is nonsense as well - that should tell maybe at the end of the season, how does it ustify the overpaid dross that turned up at Anfield yesterday? It doesn't.

Not to metion rotating squads can easily fall flat - look at Ged at Liverpool, or Ranieri when he had the funds at Chelsea.

Main thing is they have got a good manager. Although one who has yet to win the CL with Chelsea despite the funds that apparently make them unbeatable.

Furthermore the Chelsea thing doesn't make a bar of difference to anyone outside the top 3. I know people who's clubs are doing great but they are still losing interest becasue of the way that the game, as a whole, is eating itself. Players act like scum, managers make excuses, passion seems to have gone out the window that's the real issue and its one that has been going on for some time.

Chelse won't stay on top forever - look at Real Madrid, money doesn't automatically equal success, Morenhio will leave at some point, either when he gets bored or if he mucks up, ceratin players will leave as they get sick of not getting games.

Real are **** at the moment because thier manager is off his complete rocker, I could do better.
Did u know they play 3-2-2-2-1 ? - thats just insane - oh that and when your midfield has got too old u buy 60 million quids worth or strikers even tho u had strickers already...

Chelski dont have two squads like other premm teams, United and arse field weakened sides in the opening FA cup rounds (as for United not attending one year the FA asked them to go play in Brazil) - Chelski dont have a 'weak' side because they have 2 super players for every postion. no English club can compete with that.

If chelski dont do a treble this season it will be mental - they were unlucky against pool last season, and the FA cup was funny.

When I sit in pubs at the weekend now all I hear is ppl, from all supporting backgrounds, moaning about Chelski - its not just united supporters you know!

My predictions for football untill Roman leaves - Chelski win. can u honestly tell me any different? - your best chance of it not happening is Man United...

As for the United Pool game, yes it was boring. its not because of effort it was just a canceling of styles - its not like the rest of premm is sticking in 4 a game now is it? - and can u blame united, they are supposed to try and keep chelski from making this 1 horse race, so they are playing with caution. away to pool, who can blame them.

On the subject of foul mouthed players, Rooney does shout and behave like a **** at times, but footballers have been behaving like this for decades. im sure in time fergie will reel him in, bit like becks really. but sometimes I really do think that ppl forget. Its like Rooney is the first footballer to swear at the ref.

Another thing, at least when united were in thier pom they did it by playing cavilier football - chelski even play boring - i think most sides go to sleep before they score.

I think ppl cant be assed to watch football right now because in all honesty - there only 1 team init. even if u didnt support united or arsenall, it was never this cut and dry and right now its a 1 hourse race. no ones interested in that.

good manager gets infinite cash = winner.

rubbish. Any player that doesn't play week in week out or a team that doesn't play together week in wek out hasa good chnace of being beaton. The notion that they will have a sep squad for teh CL is also nonsense, do you think Lampard or Mekelele would consent to only playing in the prem Or the CL? Bigger clubs have always had bigger and better squads.

If chelski dont do a treble this season it will be mental - they were unlucky against pool last season, and the FA cup was funny.

Don't see why - City and Newcastle, the teams that beat them, are both potentially better teams this season.

I love those pubs that support my own point of view, great aren't they?

The possibility of Chelsea ****ing up is entirely realistic. Sunderalnd and Wigan both came close to scoring against them for Christ sakes.

As for the United Pool game, yes it was boring. its not because of effort it was just a canceling of styles - its not like the rest of premm is sticking in 4 a game now is it? - and can u blame united, they are supposed to try and keep chelski from making this 1 horse race, so they are playing with caution. away to pool, who can blame them.

me. along with te rest of the premiership - everyonbe is playing dull football, thats a far bigger problem than MAn U having their nose put out of joint because they are no longer the richest club.

On the subject of foul mouthed players, Rooney does shout and behave like a **** at times, but footballers have been behaving like this for decades. im sure in time fergie will reel him in, bit like becks really. but sometimes I really do think that ppl forget. Its like Rooney is the first footballer to swear at the ref.

No it isn't - its like football players now earn a lot more due to the natur of the game and so they should justify tehri salaries (if indeed that is possible0 and act like professionals. Same goes for managers.

Another thing, at least when united were in thier pom they did it by playing cavilier football - chelski even play boring

That i agree with. Still, at least Man U haven't adopted a similar approach. What? Oh.

I think ppl cant be assed to watch football right now because in all honesty - there only 1 team init. even if u didnt support united or arsenall, it was never this cut and dry and right now its a 1 hourse race. no ones interested in that.

and i think its because the style of football played in the premiership is dull as hell full stop and the players are a bunch of ingrates who are put to shame by other sports. Abrom is a red herring to the real problems.
