Soccer

lol - i agree with those sentiments Dela

Arsenal's finances are improving, no doubt about it, but they are still in £45 million of debt. Considering Man Utd on average make around £40million Net profit each year (based on last 3 years which is also more than all of the big American Basketball and NFL teams), i think their position is still a very strong one. Another thing that i am sure about is the fact that United will always remain one of the big 3, along with Barcelona and of course Real Madrid. I dont forsee that changing anytime in the next millenium

On the Peter Kenyan point, I really feel very let down by someone who was supposed to have our clubs best interests at heart. How long has this move been in the pipeline?? How has it affected his most recent decisions?? I would work for United for free, so would any real fan. I love the club and no matter how much money was waved in my face, it wouldnt matter. I think it comes down to his own greed and lust for money.

All United needs now is the Russian Billionaire, who allegedly puts Roman Abromavich's wealth to shame (we're talking 5 times richer or something) to launch his hostile takeover of Man United. It was in the pipeline a while ago, but it never materialised. Lets see.....

 

you probly dont like me much anyway because i am a chelsea fan......LOL, But like u said oriphus its not all about money, its about the player you got and if they can play as a team. No matter if you got 100billion you cant win nothing if your players dont play together! To ME Man u, Real M...... are still the best clubs in the world,but chelsea just need some time now to show what they can! hopeful they can become as good as MAN U!

 

Chelsea need to market themselves better if they hope to become a team like Man Utd, with the help of Kenyon, that might be possible. On another note, Chelsea does not push a profit. infact, Chelsea made a big loss last year and only turned over £115 million compared to Uniteds £140 million.

 

Short and Sweet:

England won, was to be expected!

 

Saturday 13th September
English Barclaycard Premiership:
Arsenal 1 - 1 Portsmouth

Blackburn Rovers 1 - 3 Liverpool

Bolton Wanderers 2 - 0 Middlesbrough

Charlton Athletic 0 - 2 Manchester United

Southampton 2 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Everton 2 - 2 Newcastle United

and of course the best score of the day
CHELSEA FC 4 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur Frank (Lampard 35)
(Adrian Mutu 37)
(Adrian Mutu 75)
(Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink 90)

 

Yeah Chelsea looked good today. Uniteds result was pretty good too, considering the injuries. Also, did anyone see the Real Madrid 7-2 thrashing today??

Nope, i cant say i did see the Real Madrid score do you know who scored?

 

The first goal was an own goal by Cesar i think. Then Raul scored 2 amazing goals, both some of the best goals he has scored. Zidane then scored another one of his amazing volleys from well out. Then Figo scored a penalty. Ronaldo scored a cracker after Beckhams pass which was outstanding. Then Raul finished off his hatrick after salgado forced the keeper to save.

I cant remember who scored for Valladolid
I cant remember

 

LOL...I saw the goals, it was a good game but thats what the score should be more often for the best team in the world(Real Madrid)!!

 

effffing cheating arsenal arses......

Portsmouth deserved that game hands down - good old pires.....

Oh I shall kick the ball 1 metre high and 5 yards in front of me and, oh I know I shall suddenly lose all muscular activity in my leg and dangle it towards the nearest player and if I am lucky it may just touch him briefly and if it does I shall fall into a heap on the floor and cry like a baby........bloody faggot

Dont bring that european philosophy here cos it gives me the shits......

Enough of that, I am carrying on like a portsmouth fan - Man Utd fan and yes I do not live in Manchester......that is why.....

I have just been reading the comments about Chelsea, and I believe they are looking VERY strong indeed, they obviously do have quality players now and also Lampard is starting to grow with team and producing some good plays for club AND country, also Joe cole (rent boy) as I call him is fitting in well - must be something to do with the after showers......Hasselbaink says, Oh I seemed to have dropped my soap, Joe will you be a darling and pick it up for me......Hellooooooooo.....

Anyways, early in the season, but I think arsenal will fall by the wayside again, Man utd for the title, Liverpool will continue to get things together but run out of steam, Chelsea are gonna be second cos they will hang in there....

And (laughing, but may be true) I think Portsmouth are gonna keep turning heads this season and finish in either 5th or 6th....

 

I agree with you baabaa, not about that joe cole bit doh..............LOL i hope chelsea will finish 2nd we can only wait and see what happends!

 

Oriphus I am not a big (football)soccer fan like u but i just recently aquired a nike soccer jersey with 7 signatures of the player on that team Man Utd.. My sister works as a SU chef at the new Nike beach house in LA.. and This summer they through a party for them.. I am not sure how much it is worth. but my sister KAT is her name told me that these players are the Best... and that there signatures are worth alot...... hit me back privately if you want to know more about the jersey.... or if yu are interested... thanks..

 

Cheers mate, but i've a few of the Jersey's signed with loads of the signatures. I met half the team in Belfast Man Utd store and at the airport once. The shirt will be worth somewhere in the region of £300-£600, my guess is around £450. just check out Ebay.co.uk for the average prices of these things.

Agree with you BaaBaa on Arsenal - Pires should be ashamed. Man Utd for the title, Chelsea will come 3rd though, cuz Arsenal will be close to us. Portsmouth are impressing at the min, hope it continues. Man City game was very good. Barcelona win 2-1 today, not as great a performance as was expected, certainly not good enough to rival Real Madrid.

Im really looking forward to Real Betis getting into Europe this year. They are my team in La Liga

 

Oriphus did you make up a dream team this year? I made my one with (The Sun) newspaper but its not doing to good though!

 

I did well last year with a dream team in a paper, but i forgot about it this year. Damn - u just reminded me. People were well surprised when i left out Silvestre and had in Roberto Carlos instead. But he scored goals and set some up.

Chelski are playing tonight, or should i say Chelskov, since thats more Russian. Wonder how they will do. Man Utd we will win of course, and i really cannot wait to go to the Ibrox and destroy Rangers there aswell as at Old Trafford. They shouldnt be in with the big boys, they're not good enough!!!

 

CHELSEA! yeah we are playing Sparta Prague 7.45 i got a bad feeling the we are going to lose!! 2-0

 

Nah, you won.

More to the point - a poor performance for United with a 5-0 victory. That can only be good.

 

Yeah we won 1-0 but what a POOR game it was! Man u had a good night 5-0 well done!!

 

Yeah, Man Utd had a good result, though they played pretty poorly. Arsenal on the other hand played poorly and were beaten 0-3 at home to Inter. LOL i sure did laugh about that
