    Really? Why?

    And what's up with Chelsea and Aresnal? HJave they played any friendlies recently? I know about the new signings and stuff, but actual playing, any games, stuff? Just those two clubs. And Tottemham Hotspurs.

    Ahkay.

    Leeds vs Aresenal (3-2) was a real classic. Kewell is good.

    In the last two or three seasons there's always been one outright winner without much change at the top of the table after the first couple of months. In 02/03 Man United came from being well behind Arsenal to win when they hadn't even been top of the table that season until about March. Newcastle and Chelsea were also contending until around then, and Liverpool had a great run during winter which got them to first place but in the end they only managed 5th.

    Woah. 02/03 seemed full of ups and downs then. What about this year? Is there going to be an up/down thing? Because lots of clubs seemed to be pretty great (judging player-wise) this season.

    There seems to be more chance of ups and downs this season than there has for the last three years.

    Martin O'Neill is to be confirmed as the new Villa manager in the next 24 hours.

    We have a decent first team, albeit one with no out-and-out wingers other than Peter Whittingham (!), so it's basically a question of our first choices staying fit. If O'Neill really is the new manager then we should be able to finish in a mid-table position with the players we have.

    Just don't let Samuel on the field...

    Yeah, it also made us lose out on the title BY ONE FUCKING POINT

    You have no idea how pissed off I was that day:lol:

    And to answer the friendly quiestions: Chelsea are currently on a tour of the US and will also shortly return to Europe to play Feyenoord and Celtic. Arsenal are holding thier pre-season games across Europe, their latest victory was an 8-1 win over Austrian side Schwardorf.

    I held a grudge against Australia for a whole year because of that :lol:

    That was back when Viduka and Kewell were at their game. I think I nearly cried when that goal went in. I can't remember if it was Seaman or Taylor in goal that time but I remember cursing them quite a bit :lol:
