Soooo.....
We're half way through the league. What a year its been. From an Arsenal perspective its been pretty much like last year; sometimes the best football ever being player, other times amazing shitness. Hopefully, like last year, they'll turn it on for the second have and be able to combine sexy football with a bit of grit. The return of Gallas and Lauren and the likes should see to that. Cesc Fabregas has been the absolute dog's bollox...the kid is amazing. And tonight saw the return of the main event, the real deal, the G-O-D, Mr. Henry. Far be it from me to make predictions (as they tend to blow up in one's face) but I think the naysayers will have to eat their words bout him when he goes back to his old form. (which you may be wondering is TOP SCORER for LAST 5 SEASONS).

Anyways, the Arse are fighting for third spot. Now Liverpool are a strange beast...they're grinding out results whilst being pretty shit. If they get their forward line in order, they could be very dangerous.

Portsmouth are the suprise package so far I guess. From purely fantasy football terms the defenders have been steals. Nice to see Sol get his confidence back. Just hope the fucker doesn't end up at Chelski.

Speaking of which. I really didn't think it possible for me to finally find a team i despise more than ManYoo...but the cunt-squad did it. I've always hated Morinho (getting in there before it was trendy to do so), and pretty much everything Chelski stand for, but the whole Cashley Cole saga and their cheating antics have made me do the unthinkable. I want Man-Fucking-Yoo to win the league. If we can't have it, ill take them any fucking day over the bastards. ManYoo are doing the biz, Ronaldo finally fucking living up to the hype, even I would give him his props.

Down the other end, I hope charlton get dumped purely for hiring that utter waste of flesh Pardew. Speaking of which, I hope West Ham stay up just to rub it in.

Finally, Jamie Redknapp is without doubt the worst football pundit ever.

I am excited with the Gunner squad, hopefully some damage can be done in the second half.

Fabregas=decent
Robin van Persie=my new favorite Dutchman

three or four years and Arsenal will run the EPL. Wenger knows the transfer market, those youngsters in the First Team, Reserves and U18 are impressive. Fabregas is well past decent.

Peter Crouch is making it harder and harder for me to deride him. great goal against Bolton...he's still really really ugly though.

Why would his physical appearance affect your opinion of him? There's a few questions there that I won't mention either that might require answers...


Also, I see I'm now 1 of 15 in our BBMB Premiership Fantasy Football League.

The Premier league disgusts me..............I really dont want Man U to win the league and would rather not have Chelsea win it either but guess what..........thats how its looking...............Man U = Big Headed. Chelsea = Money bags and cocky manager.

Atleast Arsenal and Liverpool have some dignity and have at least 30% (lol) of their supporters from their area of origin. personally i'd want Aston Villa to win (not a fan but a fan of the manager).:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think Chelsea will still pip United to the league. The team United have is good enough to win it but once Terry is back and they win again, I can see Chelsea murdering teams. The United squad, bar Giggs & Scholes, aren't experienced in a Premiership title race as Chelsea have usually already won it by now. That said, Larsson on loan is a shrewd bit of business on Fergie's behalf.

Being Scottish I support my "diddy" local team but love watching The Premiership. The thing thats stood out ofr me this season is the quality of the goals - especially the last few months - there's been some absolute beauties.
