Arsenal - Porto Match Preview

2
Morning all. We've got the Champions League again tonight and I'm pretty excited about it. Not only is European competition great to watch but it gives us another chance to rebound from the defeat to Hull before we play in the league again. It's FC Port tonight, a Portuguese team known for producing great young talents such as Deco, Paulo Ferreira, Ricardo Carvalho, Maniche, Costinha, Benni McCarthy, Jose Bosingwa and Ricardo Quaresma, and won't be an easy match to say the least.

Why is the BBC so biased against Manchester United?

1
With the very real danger of adding to the debate, I have to say that I'm sick and tired about hearing about Rob Styles gifting United a penalty on Saturday against Bolton. Referees' make mistakes, get over it.

I don't know if it's just me, but the BBC in particular seems to be snided out with ABUs these days and there's definitely too many Liverpool fans in the Biased Broadcasting Corporation. Click to continue reading...

Premier League - Week 6

3

Stoke 0 - 2 Chelsea
Chelsea are back on top of the Premier League after a solid 2-0 victory over Stoke. Jose Bosingwa joined the attack on many occasions from his right back position, and he was rewarded with a goal in the 36th minute. Bosingwa got behind the defense, running on to a nice lobbed pass from Frank Lampard, and lashed the ball just inside the far post.

Match Recap: Throwing down the gauntlet

1

So much for settling in.

Uncle Phil set Stamford Bridge ablaze on his debut, guiding Chelsea to a superlative 4-0 win over Portsmouth in the Premiership curtain raiser for both clubs.

1- Chelsea

Having lost the Champions League Final on penalties and been pipped to the Premiership title by just two points, Chelsea were the ultimate bridesmaid last season.After a summer to lick their wounds, the Blues will come back stronger in 08/09.

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: Why Scolari goes ga ga

Quick which one? Or both?

As per Chelsea, two days ago it was Robinho that was supposed to alight on Stamford Bridge on a bid of £40m. Today it is Kaka for double the price. How about importing the whole Brazilian and Portugese team and rendering the Premiership moot? Having Big Phil makes these pipe dreams possible.
