see my point about Manu proved. Celtic beat them 2-1 on the american tour. This is the same Celtic who Chelsea and Liverpool thrashed 4-2 and 5-1.
And don’t tell me that Manu would have played a weakened team…any ex-Rangers player (Ferguson) would want to go and beat Celtic every game.
I’m more of a Division 1 girl myself, but I reckon Chelsea could do it this year. If Arsenal are struggling a bit financially and losing players like Viera (if he goes, others might follow), then they might not find it so easy. Particularly if Henry ends up going elsewhere.
Norwich will struggle, they just don’t have the money or the players to compete. Same for Palace. It’s a shame, as I really feel for these clubs. Too good for Division 1 but not good enough to bridge the gulf to the Premier. :sigh:

omg. :sigh:
Yeah I see your point minimalistik, it is only a friendly and not very important…just excited to have some evidence to back up something I say 
Hey Kit, not seen you for a while where you been hiding :h:
On a side note Spurs have lost Keane to what looks like a bad injury while playing Rangers and with Kanoute out with a mystery illness, Defoe will be wrapped in cotton for the rest of the preseason…well not literally but you know what I mean.
Man U did put out a weakened side, only roy keane was a regular in the side.
Him and smithy i think, but that was it.
They played Richardson, Eagles . . . and a few more youngsters.
division 1 you mean The Championship now kitiara.
Yeah, what’s with that? Is it some kind of attempt to make the division below the Premiership seem slightly more glamourous? :sure:
YAY!! cant wait for the english premiership to start , should be a cracker this season, most all teams are better than average team, going to be great to watch.
One team i am very interested in seeing is middlesbrough, not only did they pick up fellow Australian Mark Viduka, but also J.Hasslebaink and didnt they get that barcelona defender Rizingar or something like that.
should be interesting… cant wait!!
:beam:
Thats exactly the thinking behind the rename. It won’t work though, most teams in the division don’t have the cash to bridge the gap so no kind of renames going to glam it up to the heights of the premiership.
Of the teams who were promoted last season two were relegated, Portsmouth escaping the drop thanks to their team and manager who seems to have a knack of finding talent for next to nothing (H Redknapp). I’m curious how many teams have been relegated the season after being promoted.
In fact the gap in the premiership is getting so big that some teams are really struggling with bankruptcy (Villa & Everton spring to mind)
hmm… would that not mean (if almost all teams are better than average) that the average would just go up? just a thought…
haha … grrr jarviscares… yes i was half asleep when i typed that. :lol:
What i meant to say that the quality of teams and players have gone up in the premiership across the board.

wonder how much it’s cost them to rename the league, you know change advertising, promote the new name, all that sort of stuff…just a waste of cash that could’ve been spent elsewhere if you ask me
has any1 seen the new arsenal blue away kit??
Its proper smart…1 of the nicest kits ive seen!
you know I was going to post an image of it here but I can’t find one anywhere, not even on the official Arsenal site (not for sale until September)
anyone seen an image of it :h:
sorry Arsenal fans but…
Vieira’s leaving :*(
Arsenal’s in big trouble now, who are they gonna get to replace this guy. Alex Feguson must have a big smile on his face
wow, to real madrid, thats great for real madrid… very solid player. Who is going to replace him…well they still have the two brazilian players, Gilberto and Edu.
yeah but they can’t replace Vieira
Gilberto looked good when he arrived but he’s been a bit disappointing near the end of the season and Edu’s ok but he can’t do what Vieira does.
Davids maybe :h:
yeah theres no doubt that those two cant do the job viera could do, but they are the usual fill in since hes been injured.
Davids? aint he with Barca?
oh yeah now you mention it I think he is, I think he signed for them after Euro2004…oh well maybe a bit past his best now anyway
i see what you mean about the brazilians at Arsenal but I think wegner might bring in Vieiras replacement rather than look to the squad
