The English Premier League Thread

we've got a three horse race!



it's down to this:


________ GR ___ PTS

Man U. ----- 8 __ 61

Arsenal ----- 9 __ 60

Liverpool ---- 8 __ 59



So, sir Alex is not done at the end of this season afterall. hmm...

Arsenal are playin' well, but Theirry Henry just got handed a 3 match ban, so we'll see how they get through that.

Gerard Houllier is back at the helm at Anfield just in time for a serious run at the title. Adding Anelka was a huge move for them, as you just can't rely on mr. Owen being healthy all the time.
Also Abel Xavier has looked really good since he's been in the side.

Here's to an exciting finish.

i think man u will take it again.
they've really hit top form during the second half of the season.
if bergkamp was more consistent, arsenal could make a great run.

it's a 3 legged race in italy as well.
roma, juventus, and inter right down to the wire.

my dad is totally distraught that his team "leeds united" have squandered a great start to the year...& are now well back of the leaders...who's left in the fa cup right now?? i think it's semis this weekend...

& with alex ferguson signing on for another 3 years with united, does beckham head to the continent???

ill be happy...

if anyone but Man U or Leeds wins it. Luckily, Leeds have done so well shooting themselves in the foot this season, I dont have to worry about them. I like Man U, they have some fantastic players (just dont mention the Nevilles) but Id like to see the Gunners or Pool do it.

My heart lies with West Ham though and their unglamourous relegation battle. It seems that they are almost safe (one point to be exact) from relegation... although im devastated Don Hutchison is injured for the rest of the season... watch for Jole Cole though, he's gotten better and better all season long. Furthermore, there about to cash in on kifebags Camara and Song (good players, just no premiership quality).

go hammers
go pool

this weekends FA cup quarter finals:

Newcastle v Arsenal

Middlesbrough v Everton

Tottenham v Chelsea

West Brom v Fulham

Arsenal control their own fate in both cup and league action.

And I thought I was the only one! Nice one. there's something to be said about West Ham and our constant mediocrity. Carrick is the goods though. I thought he was better than Cole at the beginning of the season. Defoe is solid. Adam Newton in the youth squad is meant to be real deal as well.

You see Bayern are interested in Rigobert Song for 3.5 million? I'd throw in Camara, Gary Charles for that amount. So much dead wood on the bench at the club.


go hammers -------------> finishing 8th this season.

Forget this sport footie-heads! What about rugby? I saw the Lions play NSW, now there's some action. And how hot is Johnnie Wilkinson? My fav is definitely Jason Robinson though
