Ahh,but the problem with that dream is that Man U will win the Title if there is no Chelski...Unless Liverpool pull off the impossible.

Most likely that'll remain a dream as most probably Roman has more patience and sense than all of you combined.

The Champions League is what Chelsea has to win first. We might win back the Premiership but Europe is now becoming more and more important.

IF Roman leaves how will Chelsea cope with te wage bill bearing in mind thats how they attract players?

That concern was born ever since Roman took over. If he leaves we will most probably struggle to hold on to some of the players. But then thats still a big "IF" so I am not going bother about it now.

Well don't be to defensive,i give you a chance,a big one.I don't like either Man U or Chelski,but i honestly think that you are better in terms of consistancy,and if Man U have a few injuries that disrupt there form,i give you a great chance.

Why are people resigning Arsenal to 4th place? I'm not saying we'll win the league but, all of a sudden, we're well behind Liverpool? Once they have finished above us in how many years?

Behind Liverpool because they've made excellent signings and havent lost any of their key players. The same cant be said about Arsenal. If you do finish above Liverpool after all this then .

 

[Animator!]

Yes. Liverpool have a far superior squad to ours on paper. Therefore, being as no Football has been played that is all you can judge on.

I don't remember Henry featuring in any of our victories over Liverpool lasts season. It's not about names, it's about how they play. Saying that, we haven't played that well as of late but 14 goals in 4 games against them last season...

A Peter Crouch hat-trick against you, thats shameful. Peter Crouch. Peter "Does the circus know your here?" Crouch.

Although Arsenal stepped up against the bigger teams they struggled against the smaller ones. Besides Liverpool have changed since last season and have made crucial and noteworthy additions and have plugged some of the holes from last season.

Like someone said until the season actually begins we can only make predictions on the basis on squad strength then as of now Liverpool's is better than that of the Gunners and at par with United and Chelsea.

Did someone say Liverpool have a FAR superior squad to us?I'm surprised knowone has turned a head at that one?Christ,Liverpools squad was atrocious last year,and though it has imporved,it certainly isn't far superior to our squad.We have mountains of class,just all a little young.

 

[Animator!]

Our squad barely has an outstanding players.
Fabregas. Van Persie. Kolo Toure. The rest is developing kids or older players who are past their prime (Ljungberg). Liverpool have added quality to their side in the recent years. We haven't. Hleb - Has been average. Rosicky - Next year should be the aming of him. Adebayor - Very average.

We need to buy players who can produce the goods now, not in 5 years. Not wait 5 years and hope everyone of them turns out to be Fabregas, because it will not happen.

The answer to that is Chelsea will be financially stuffed! That would serve them right! Also, has anyone noticed that Chelsea's badge is a blatant rip-off of Utd's? Still, that's all Chelsea will ever be, the 'poor man's' Man Utd!

 

[Animator!]

Chelsea would bankrupt. Roman hasn't paid for anything at the club. He has used the clubs money and loans in the clubs names. Everyone just calls Chelsea financially safe because Roman could pay it off.
