Chamakh would be a flop in PL.

Chamakh would be a flop in PL.

Should only cost £3-5 Mill so it's worth a punt. If not he'll be free at the end of the season. I'm sure if AW is intrested in him then he must think he'll be a decent striker to play in the PL.

Arsenal played some great football, and outplayed us for the majority of the game. At the end of the day though, the aim of the game is to get the ball in the back of the net not pass it about alot.

Cana was incredible today.

You say that buy who's going? Essien, Drogba, Mikel and Kalou.

There defence isn't effected and Chelsea have proven they can play without Drogba, for example today and the CL and he will be a loss but they can cope without him. Kalou doesn't really play much for them and Mikel doesn't either yet. Essien will be the big loss to them though but they have: J. Cole, Malouda, Zirkhov, Lampard, Ballack, Deco all in midfield that can do a good job but the problem they will face is that there will be less balance to the team which is why they might buy a holding mid or loan one or just put Alex or someone from the defence in the holding role for a bit.

The ACON won't have have too much of a problem on them, trust me.

Well Drogba and Essien will be a huge huge lost to the team. Two very important players for Chelsea.

Even though, they have two good players in Ballack and Deco, Essien and Frank really is the best suited partnership in midfield for Chelsea. Saying this, i don't think they will add an addition in CM as they have both Deco and Ballack to cover.

While with Drogba, I've got a strong feeling Chealski will snap up Sergio
Aureo from Athletico Madrid in Jan window. Would want him to come to United but i can't see this happening. :@

I disagree.

The top 4, this season, is seriously under threat.

you should be happy for 6th (with tottenham snapping up 5th)

Erm.. oh look, team full of big money signings, still couldn't win. Shocking.. oh wait, no it's not. Man City can buy all they want, it won't buy them the winning mentality you get with experience of winning trophies. I think thats been shown by 5 straight draws from a winning position.

Like someone else said, it's just stupid to suggest we won't make top 4, effectively we're 2 points off top 4 right now, and it's november. I might agree with you if we had full strength teams and our results we're the same as they are now, but as you can probably tell we're nowhere near full strength. Our injury problems are not getting any better, I was seriously worried when I saw Benayoun come on this afternoon, who knows what damage could've been caused by that appearance. I seriously hope it was none, we don't need him out for any lengthy spell. If we can just get the majority of players back into fitness sometime soon, go on a spell of wins (no matter how we get them) we'll be up there as usual.

Top 6 in order by the end of the season:

Chelsea
MU
Arsenal
Liverpool
Man City
Tottenham

Unsure about the bottom 2 actually, Spurs might just get ahead of them, their squad is huge.

Barnsley 1-0 Cardiff

Another world-class performance from our squad full of Premier League stars in a match that will be watched forever due to it's quality.

Yeah, right.

93rd minute deflected free-kick after Hudson thought he was Henry.

Chelsea
Arsenal
Man Utd
Spurs/Liverpool
City

Is more accurate. If anyone is going to get into the top 4 this season outside the big 4, it's gunna be Spurs, not City.

Hm.. Spurs I just can't see making it to the top 4. But then again I can't see City either. I think it'll stay the same but the order will be different.

Chelsea, Arsenal, United, Liverpool. That's the order I think.

I think that the CC will be won by Chelsea.
The FA Cup will be won by Arsenal or United.
The Champs League will be won by a Barca or Madrid but Chelsea will make the semis with Arsenal I think.

Lol, all are players going for horse placenta treatment, dirk kuyt should be given horse ****e treatment.

Harsh. I would agree for Lucas and Insua.

I know walk on with hope in your heart and all that but I can't see us even getting 4th. Whenever we manage to get a fully fit first XI, I'll change my mind.

First half an hour today was a joke. We had 10 men for most of it!

[-Heart]

Great performance put in by United! Keep playing like that boys on your on course for a 4th consecutive premier league trophy. I think we should stick to the team we fielded out today, Rafael ahead of O'Shea, him and Evra played well on the flanks today. Valencia was awesome, we need to bring in a winger in January, Giggs still got magic in him but it's leaking..

Replace Owen, with the magicficiant Berba.

I'm starting to feel what fletcher is bringing to the team, probably one of the best performances I've seen him play in a United shirt.

Too finish off an awesome day, we won £120 by placing a £10 bet that we will win 3-0. So it's all good.

Even though your still 5 points behind Chelsea? Y'no Chelsea, that team that beat you 1-0 that time?
