^^ Are you deliberately misunderstanding the meaning of SQUAD? This is the Chelsea squad: 1 Petr Cech 2 Branislav Ivanovic 3 Ashley Cole 5 Michael Essien 7 Ramires 8 Frank Lampard 10 Yossi Benayoun 11 Didier Drogba 12 Mikel 15 Florent Malouda 17 Jose Bosingwa 18 Yuri Zhirkov 19 Paulo Ferreira 20 Deco 21 Salomon Kalou 22 Ross Turnbull 23 Daniel Sturridge 26 John Terry 33 Alex 38 Patrick Van Aanholt 39 Nicolas Anelka 40 Henrique Hilario 41 Sam Hutchinson 43 Jeffrey Bruma 44 Gael Kakuta 45 Fabio Borini 46 Joshua McEachran 50 Jacob Mellis 50 Jan Sebeck This is the Spurs squad: 1 Heurelho Gomes 2 Alan Hutton 3 Gareth Bale 4 Younes Kaboul 5 David Bentley 6 Tom Huddlestone 7 Aaron Lennon 8 Jermaine Jenas 9 Roman Pavlyuchenko 10 Robbie Keane 11 Rafael Van der Vaart 12 Wilson Palacios 13 William Gallas 14 Luka Modric 15 Peter Crouch 16 Kyle Naughton 17 Dos Santos Giovani 18 Jermain Defoe 19 Sebastien Bassong 20 Michael Dawson 21 Niko Kranjcar 22 Vedran Corluka 23 Carlo Cudicini 24 Jamie O'Hara 26 Ledley King 27 Ben Alnwick 29 Jake Livermore 32 Benoit Assou-Ekotto 37 Stipe Pletikosa 39 Jonathan Woodgate Spurs can have two decent first elevens whilst Chelsea CAN'T. Wax fahan.

^^ Have you seen the Spurs squad? In attack: Chelsea have Drogba & Anelka, the rest are ok players. Arsenal have Chamakh and Van Wan Jabay, the rest are ok players. City have Tevez and Adibayor, the rest never get a game. Liverpool have Torres and Ngog (who is improving but is not in the same class of any of the above). United have Berbatov and Rooney (the rest are not even proven yet). Now Spurs, they have Crouch, Pavlachinko, Defoe and Keane (plus Van Der Vart who can play as a striker). They are different from all the above because they keep rotating them (so all these strikers get a game and are match fit). In midfield, Spurs can compare to any of their rivals with two players for every position. In defence (with the addition of Gallas) they also have two players for every position. Marka what is your argument, saaxib?

Of course she does not realise that Jb is not even 40, he's a handful of years older than her.

^^ Norf is an Arsenal fan. Please don't be confused with his love for Babel. And, yes, I did not expect much from this Liverpool team. I don't rate Hodgson.

^^ The same problems Arsenal had ever since they got rid of Silva are still there, saaxib. Marka, you can not really say "things like final minute equaliser happen every now and then". They happen to Arsenal all the time. Adigo waxaaga kubbad maaha, waa 'bad memory'.

^^ Somali political precedent dictates that a Somali president may win his battle against his first chosen Prime Minster but will have to lose it against his second. I wonder who is going to be Sharif's Nuur Cade now! Geedi Resigns!

^^ Twenty minutes ago, you were saying it was fake news. Now you're giving us a whole paper as to the reasons for the dispute. You work too fast, saaxib. (Does not really matter who was wrong. Neither really did a good job).

^^ Tuujiye hadoo diiday inoo kubbada barto, eeen, eeen..dee waa la bari doona (isaga iyo qaar kale o badan). Right on, P.

^^ Iska hadaal, saaxib As for the Zonal Marking point, I still stand by that (without all your twisting nonesense). P.S. Did you read about Agger's complaints? Now tell me that Roy has not messed that defence up. War bahasha baro dee.

I can't bring myself to write a serious reply when Norf puts Torres ahead of Drogba and Tuujiye puts Kolo Tore and Young in the best team. The only thing I would say (and I expect the amateures here to get heart attacks) is that Spurs have the best squad in the league.

^^ The coach asked the entire team to defend, badow yaho. I mean why play with one striker against a team playing 4-4-2? You know I like Lucas but I think Poulson was ok. As for Chelsea, dee I said that your real test will come now. If you lose to City even the small teams will start thinking they may have a chance. Wax fahan.

^^ It's ok. I distracted her with a thread that should keep her fuming for days. Sheekadaada iska wado..you were saying we are great and what?....

^^ What ducu, can't you see the one above you threatening to break my teeth? He knows that without teeth I won't be able to pronounce the word.

^^ After all MY hardwork with Normode, the hippy goes to Zara!

^^ Someone is getting sacked for giving you this information before A&T.

I am offended by this peace deal. Offended I tell you.

^^ The trick is to read it in a dubbed Indian movie voice (you'll be surprised how much you understand). Showqi, I only said (on another thread) that Jb's comment was political. Anything to promote SL. But the problem makers are Sayid and Jb.

CL, CL, come roll your eyes at this thread.

Showqi, I did not comment on the thread (and unlike Sayid, I think I understood it in bits and parts). But I still blame Maaddeey.

^^ The attacking situations slowed down because there was no movement up front, saaxib. The same problem the midfielders before him faced. It's to do with the manager. When he changed it in the second half and got Gerard, Cole and Merieles to push at least twenty yards forward, EVERYONE looked good. In fact, Poulsen made a long pass that Merieles almost scored from. It's not the players, it's Hodgson saaxib.

^^ Messi will only be out for two weeks. You'll hardly notice it. As for Liverpool, I think they played well in the second half. The only two problems (which is something I discussed with the Arsenal fan) is that they allowed Scholes and Fletcher too much time on the ball (even though Merieles was marking Scholes). United's three goals were from crosses (Zonal marking, Mr Fa badge?). Apart from the corner, the two other crosses came from Nani after a pass each from Fletcher and Scholes. If Lucas was playing Norf would be blaming him by now. But Lucas's replacement actually played well. The problem was Cole, Merelies (in the first half) and Gerard (in the first half). Torres actually played ok and was the cause of both incidents that created our goals (he had some service by then). All the problems of Liverpool are down to the manager and not the players. He wanted them to defend where Rafa would have got them to start the game with pace and push United back. Things improved when the team changed to 4-4-2. But since Roy had already fiddled with the defence it always looked like United might nick a third. Chelsea, as you already admit, had it easy for the first five games. The real football starts now. Lets see if you can score five and six (ooh did you see Kolo Toure loving Tuujiye talk about the colour of your players?). Kubbada barta. P.S. Arsenal didn't deserve to win their game anyway. They're as weak as they've always been.

Juxa, I thought your distaste was with Jb's comment, you never told me it was Sayid. How dare you put me and Sayid in the same bracket? I blame Maaddeey.

^^ Badow baad tahay dee. Appalkaan carabtu ku dhacay. And I don't like dagaal that I don't understand.

Oh, hello KK.

Heh@Juxa. Kuma jiro, kuma jiro. I have no idea what subtle hints you guys exchange/understand, my stuff is straight forward.
