Premier League 2012-2013

[Big Boy]

They're winning recently but I don't think it's a pattern yet

The pattern is very clear to me - they win when I don't put my IKTS banker on them

I could be wrong, but I don't think Liverpool have beaten a team above them in the league this season and they have Stoke tomorrow - they are level pegging - so anyone's guess?

[BaaBaa.]

It does seem his time at Liverpool is numbered in view of the fact rather than take their own player back from loan, they're spending a reported £12m on a player that most Chelsea fans would agree falls short at the highest level.

Doesn't seem it looking at your forums, we ain't going out and buying Falcao are we sooo....

We can't all spunk 50 million on Torres.

What you so concerned about Liverpool for?

We are ticking over cheers.

BTW, I know you've all missed me, especially Terry.

Merry Christmas all. X

So where are you - LOS or Blighty? Still on fighting form I see, which is goood to see, be disappointed if you weren't. The reason I'm concerned? IKTS.

The Chelsea forums are a bit better than the scouse forums, they're not quite as rabid. Most Chelsea fans I know (the wise ones naturally) don't see Sturridge as the answer, but hey-ho, he's another of Rodgers group whilst at Chelsea - like Borini- betcha can't wait!

[BaaBaa.]

Who is this Rodgers guy?

He's an up and coming coach, he's done nothing in the game as a player, none of the best coaches have, he's gone out of his way to study all over Europe, Barca, Ajax, Mourinho, Spain under Del Bosque.

I'm happy with him. We give Coaches 4-5 years at Liverpool if your name isn't Hodgson.

Blighty.

Chelsea forums are full of clueless dicks to be fair, Caller, you are a minority. Genuinely.

It is like asking a City fan who is the best midfielder they've seen in the past ten years.

[BaaBaa.]

And Sturridge has never crossed paths with Rodgers.

Chelsea didn't quite find all those goals Benitez promised. United did though. 7 points clear.

Both won by the same margin, 1 side was away.

Nice to see Van Persie after he cheated almost certain death.

Not such a good day for most of the struggling clubs in the Premiership.....
Villa slaughtered again for the second time in three days......Wigan,QPR and Newcastle all lost.....Reading got a point and Southampton and Fulham drew with each other.....Liverpool were well beaten !
But one struggling team got all 3 points.....well done Sundeland !
So United are 7 points clear.....amazing when you think their defence has been Championship standard for most of the season.

Interesting list of the top 100 players in the World, as presented by the Guardian. Only three Englishmen make the list (Terry, Cole, Rooney) a Welshman and one scouser! But lots of premiership players and Chelsea are the best represented (+Drogba), followed by City and the Mancs.

So why aren't we top of the league?

Anyway, well worth a few minuutes of your time, they start bottom right at 100 to the inevitable No.1. Lots to debate and with any luck, No.6 will be at the Bridge in a few days, followed by 36 in the summer!

Ibrahimovic at no.5 was the one that stood out for me.
I never rated him at Barcelona or AC Milan but I suppose we only saw him in Champions League games.He has got a good scoring record wherever he has been.
He was excellent in Euro 2012 and awesome against an inexperienced England side in a friendly a month or two back.
Scoring the goals for Paris St.Germain now but the French isnt really one of the top European leagues.
Overall,I would have to say no.5 flatters him.

Couldnt see Stewart Downing or James Milner on the list.....must have just missed out,eh ?

Hmmm, so Fergie rules are well and truly re-established. The FA are making fools of themselves by not retrospectively taking action against him for his actions against Newcastle, despite Ref Mike Dean amazingly failing to do so. He's now slagged off Pardew and, erm, Newcastle FC, but hey-ho, it Fergie.

So despite berating the ref, linesman, 4th official and then following the ref onto the pitch at the start of the 2nd half, he gets away with it, whilst the FA appear to be in the process of charging 'Arry for calling the ref in their game, 'scandalous' and Mancini for suggesting their ref had eaten too much Christmas pudding, or words to that effect.

You just couldn't make this up! Eufa must be pleased as well, Platini used SAF to help launce their respect programme!

At least the UK press are giving the FA a hard time, their limp excuse as ever being if its not in the ref's report...... Its bolloxs!

[BaaBaa.]

Ferguson is odious, biggest stain on the English game.

I respect his achievements, despise the man.

The English game will be better when he pisses off hopefully very shortly.

FA disgust me too.

Your current manager called him out Caller and got pilloired by the press.

And the British LMA lot backed Fergie.

He's a horrible bully.
