Mourihno is a shoe in for Newcastle it seems.
The derby game could be the match Man U turn it around.
You never know with Arsenal and Man U.
I'm giving it till your next game to tip the winner of the championship.

Seems like Robson is a shoe-in for 04-05 at least.
Hear about Bellamy throwing a chair at John Carver.
I had a little chuckle over it.
Should I be worried that i'm not fussed about this?
It seems that Carver is quite the dud coach from what the fans are saying.

Seems as if my pre-Luis Saha signing opinion was incorrect whilst my post-Luis Saha opinion was more valid in terms of current output.
Please do us a favour against Fulham.
We will try against Chelsea.

like i told you before, 4th place will be decided when you two play on the last day of the season.
2nd place will be decided next week when man u and chelsea play.
i grudgingly condede the title to arse-nal but we'll be back.
how i woiuld like gerrard at man u. he will be the new keano. xabi would do nicely too. as well as joaquin, rooney, kompany and van der vaart.
btw kluivert, trezeguet, kezman, vieri, crespo and inzaghi( both of them) seem to be available in the summer. mass clearouts at juve, roma and lazio, with inter making their usual mind numbing number of transfers. milan want to sign 2-3 players to boost thier squad, and chelsea want to buy the world in case you haven't already noticed.

I'll tell you who will get 4th place after the Wolves game in a week cuz right now we are playing like a team.
Very unlike Newcastle.
The only thing that is stopping me from saying 4th place is in the bag is the loss of Woodgate[HUGE loss] and the effect of a win/loss in the UEFA cup.
I have underesimated Uncle Bobby big time.
If I had money on Man U getting anyone it would be Vander Vaart.
Looks like you'll be getting Quirez back which will be as good as any signing you could possibly make.
Things are looking good for Arsenal as hard as it is for you to admit it. Don't forget about the kids that are coming up.
Worried about the Van Nistleroy(;DG;Do;Dd;D = Shearer and you know it) rumours?

firstly winning the title once does not make arsenal a great team. they need to win it back to back and at least win something in europe. as for thier youngsters, well unless they are french or were bought for decent money i'm not going to give them much of a chance of breaking into the arsenal side. rumour has it that ashley cole will get dumped for gael clichy. i wonder why and henry still hasn't proven that he's not a choker come big game time. he hit 4 past leeds but in arsenal's three most important games of the season he was useless. euro 2004 will have to decide once and for all. if he's a complete dud there, then i think most ppl will realise he just can't live up to the big game pressure. then again he could be awesome. we must wait and see. van nistelrooy will not leave. if he does then first we would have signed a whole host of players ( tevez, torres, rooney, joaquin, xabi, van der vaart all come to mind) personally i don't see the point of real madrid signing any attacking player. unless their management ( perez, valdano etc) are so dumb that they cannot see the waeknesses that the rest of the world ( well at least though who know anything about football) can see. they shoudl go spend money on defenders. as many as they can get. and probably a defensive midfileder too. well i don't really care. i love watching them screw up. woodgate is a big loss. but seriously i think liverpool, newcastle and even aston villa might be able to clinch 4th spot. watch out for them. if you and liverpool draw in thta final match, and man u decide to fuck up against villa, o'leary could be in europe again.

Helguera apparantly begged to Valdano for some defensive help. No chance with the elections coming up with Perez most likely going for a big name striker to save his ass. He is the new Moriatti isn't he? woodgate is a big loss. but seriously i think liverpool, newcastle and even aston villa might be able to clinch 4th spot. watch out for them. if you and liverpool draw in thta final match, and man u decide to fuck up against villa, o'leary could be in europe again. .........Which would bring my hatred towards Man U to new levels. I can't stant O'Leary since he made a few comments after the NU/AV match.

i'm not a big fan of o'leary either, but what he's done at villa is extraordinary.
newcastle have fallen away recently, and you missing out on europe is your fault really. bad start and bad end to the season.
robert huth is a wanker, no doubt about that.

firstly winning the title once does not make arsenal a great team. I would think going undefeated* for the entire league season makes them a great team. Even if Sunderland wen't undefeated for the year I would agknowledge them as a great team. FFS Gomesh pull your head out of your ass! And keep your hands off Woodgate! AND Missing out on CL is my fault! If anything it is................ Bobby's - Shit tactics, Shit away from, Shit motivation, Split Dressing room and Fat Freds - No $$$ spent when he believed the hype when we finished 3rd thinking we could be a contender when really needed some fresh faces to keep the players on their toes. * Just one match to go

but you don't see the problem do you. 20 yrs from now, ppl will look at the league table and say that man u and chelsea were in transition(both teams will achieve bigger and better things next season. chelsea are looking scary if they keep spending at the reat they do) hence they were not challengers, and the rest of the league was just shit all season( never had the chasing pack been so inept at making a push for the title. liverpool and newcastle haven;t been more than ordinary all season and it would have been worse for liverpool if gerrard had been out of form, and for newcastle if shearer and robert weren't firing on all cylinders. kudos to villa, bolton, charlton and birmingham for doing well, but lets face it, in any other season and their points tally would have placed them must lower down the table), and futhermore liverpool are closer to wolves/leeds/leicester in points than to arsenal
no doubt they have had a very good season, but to class them with the man u treble team, or the liverppol team of the 70's and 80's, the man u team of the 60's, or even leeds of early 70's, forest in the early 80's and villa in late 70's/80's , and the other great teams is ludicrous. people remember great sides for the number of trophies they won. so till they continue wining for a few more years, they cannot be classed in the same league as the truely great teams.
after all nobody is hailing ac milan as one of the great teams even though they won the cl last year and their league this year(only losing twice). they too need to win for a few more years before they can reach the levels of the milan team of the early 90's ( van basten, guillit, rijkaard, maldini, baresi and all)
my anti-arsenal feelings have got nothing to do with this. i readily acknowledge that they had a great season, but before you can call them one of the great teams of all time, they need to dominate for a few more years.

Point 2 - Aresnal's spending power 10th of Man U/Chelsea's which gives both but Man U especailly no excuse. Point 3 - Arsenals squad is TINY! Point 4 - Many Arsenal fans would say that they are going through a mini transition ATM too[Reyes, Clichly and a host of YA youngsters]. Point 5 - If bidding for Alan Smith, buying Kleberson, Djemba-Djemba and Co. is a sign of transition, well Man U are fucked. FFS, Alan Smith is a Newcastle standard signing not a Man U standard signing! Point 6 - Chelsea will finish 3rd next year. Manager trasition. Point 7 - Arsenal are a great team. ( never had the chasing pack been so inept at making a push for the title. liverpool and newcastle haven;t been more than ordinary all season and it would have been worse for liverpool if gerrard had been out of form, and for newcastle if shearer and robert weren't firing on all cylinders. kudos to villa, bolton, charlton and birmingham for doing well, but lets face it, in any other season and their points tally would have placed them must lower down the table), and futhermore liverpool are closer to wolves/leeds/leicester in points than to arsenal Here, Here Gomesh. But.............. Worst? or most even? PL in years. When team can get Jay Jay Okacha, Mendieta, develop talent like Parker and use the loaning sytem for players like Forsell and Zenden it shows that most of these clubs aren't as far off Newcastle/Liverpool as it's percieved. no doubt they have had a very good season, but to class them with the man u treble team, or the liverppol team of the 70's and 80's, the man u team of the 60's, or even leeds of early 70's, forest in the early 80's and villa in late 70's/80's , and the other great teams is ludicrous. people remember great sides for the number of trophies they won. so till they continue wining for a few more years, they cannot be classed in the same league as the truely great teams. 2 EPL titles in 3 years. 1 FA cup. Plenty of time left in Viera and Henry's legs + Youngters like Reyes and Clichy being bought/moved up = More to come. after all nobody is hailing ac milan as one of the great teams even though they won the cl last year and their league this year(only losing twice). they too need to win for a few more years before they can reach the levels of the milan team of the early 90's ( van basten, guillit, rijkaard, maldini, baresi and all) my anti-arsenal feelings have got nothing to do with this. i readily acknowledge that they had a great season, but before you can call them one of the great teams of all time, they need to dominate for a few more years. Fair enough Gomesh. Maybe I am being to hasty, but I can see a great team already with plenty of trophies to come.

yeah i don't want smith either. hopeless signing. i would rather sign torres or tevez or rooney or all three, but that's not going to happen.
if liverpool can make a few tweaks to their team, they can challenge next season, and if newcastle can buy a decent centre back and right back they too will do well.
next season will be interesting. i'm just hoping that all the chasing pack ( villa, charlton, birmingham, bolton( they must get rivaldo), etc) invest heavily in the off season. and if everton, tottenham, blackburn and man city can get their act together we could have a very interesting season. not much hope for the newly promoted teams of staying up though, but west ham might just be able to pull it off if they can get some new players in.
as for arsenal my only question is what they are going to do with wiltord and kanu (and kneown) out of the way, and jeffers most likely going to, plus pires(32 next jan) and bergkamp(35 last week) getting rather old. i can see van pierse replacing pires cause wenger must have felt reyes wasn't left winger material hence his signing, which means reyes replacing bergkamp in years to come. but then what about pennant. seems like a good talent, but i don't think he has a future at arsenal. what do you think.
granted that vieria and henry have at least 5 years to play at the very top left in them, arsenal might very well be succesful, but you know what i think of henry, hence euro 2004 will determine if he can truely play with the big boys or not. as for vieria, he's an absolute gun, but i have taken a liking for gerrard recently as his passing is getting better with every game. still time will tell
