Arsenal have a bunch of pretty decent players imo. Players like Fabregas, Flamini, Van Persie, Gilberto(?), Reyes and Hleb have youth as well as talent in their side. I would prefer having them in my side that oldies like Giggs and Keane, who are well past their best.

We'll see about that mate. I'd rather have Giggs and Keane any day. They have the expierience. If Arsenal face a Manchester United side, playing like they did in the FA cup final (with Van Nistelrooy in form), Arsenal have no chance.

Well I dont really care about who comes second. We are gonna win again, and there is no prize for second place. So whether its Arsenal, ManU, Liverpool or Spurs, I dont really give a damn!

Thats not strictly true is it, the prize money for second is considerable

It would be so good to see Chelski fall flat on their face. I'm sure you feel the same way to Man Utd and Arsenal. I think that Manchester United first choice 11 are as good as Chelsea's, their (or any one else's) squad may not be as deep, but on their day United can beat Chelski.

I'm sure it will be another enthrauling season, so I look forward to it!!! Bring it on Chelski!

Yup the battle for second place is gonna be exciting this season. But like I said before, I really care a damn about it!

lets compare-
Carvalho vs Heinze : Carvalho

Dont know about everyone else but i think Heinze is better. For a start they play different positions but Heinze was voted Man U player of the year, Carvalho hardly played for Chelsea.

I think Heinze and Carvalho are even.

And Cech is MUCH better than Van Der Sar!

 

[m_vaughan]

I have seen Van Der Sar play for Holland. He is good.

Maurinho vs Ferguson: Mourinho

I agree with this.

You can't compare the managers yet. Ferguson has won many more trophies and has a vast amount more expierience than Mourinio. Having said that, Mourinio has the ability to become a great manager.

 

[m_vaughan]

The fact that Mourinho has won the Uefa Cup, Uefa Champions League and the Premiership in consecutive years, speaks a lot about his hunger to win trophies.

I know, He is a good manager, but he needs to win trophies constantly like Sir Alex did/does (for 10 years). Consistancy makes a great manager, this counts Wenger out.

Mourino is a class act though, I have to admit.

 

[hassan]

and you will see he will be better than Fergie
