o, btw kids make sure to buy john terrys new book: my winning season. looks a quality read. |
i absolutely refuse to buy books written by football players or managers, that's a load of bull. i don't believe half of them (players) have the intelligence to write coherently neither to write anything interesting enough, and they get enough money without the need to cash in on book sales. |

It's not always about money. Probably in this case, But I'm not sure and I don't want to judge it. |

| 12 out of 12. 0 goals conceded. this could be better than last season. arsenals unbeaten run is gonna fall. |

Chelsea will win the league this season because they still have that jammy championship winning bull that man united used to get all the time. But if united can keep on scoring consistently all season i think they might push chelsea harder than last season.
Regarding the post above, if united and charlton win both their games in hand then they'll both be on 12 out of 12, start singing ur praises later in the season clown boy |

matty boy im singing already. TWO TIME TWO TIME! all the other teams in the prem are quaking. chelsea are not even into their stride yet and we are sitting firmly top of the table.are defence is impenatrable. o and we have Sunderland next. at home. man utd have man city. that is no easy game especially with man citys form. charlton have the solid birminghmam away. you can see both sides realistically dropping points. essien lampard makelele trio is starting to look invincible.
also, ambravovich plans to increase stamford bridge to 55,000, or possibly move to a new venue due to restrictions at the stamford bridge site, and build a 80, 000 all seater. cant wait. |

every team and their fans will have a little bit of jealousy, even if they do not say so. its great bein a chelsea fan atm, especially after seasons of bein under achievers.. |
yeah but it could've been tottenham who got roman and then chelsea would have remained a mid-table team. ive heard many of the true fans are quite pissed about the fact that they bought the premiership last year, which has cheapened their performances on the pitch.
id be more concerned about the financial future of the club. sure roman is padding the bottom line, but what happens when that goes? |

WHEN WE won at Liverpool on the first day of 2005, I thought I would look back on Anfield as one of the happiest memories of a great season.
Instead, it's a place I will associate now with one of my worst nightmares.
Everybody assumed we would beat them in the Champions League semi-finals. They were supposed to be just another stepping stone on our route to Istanbul. No one was really talking about the Champions League being Liverpool's destiny yet.
If anything, most people thought it was our year.
We were the ones who had beaten Barcelona and Bayern Munich. We had knocked out the favourites. We were steaming along. We felt unstoppable. We had the best players. We had the best manager. It was our year. Not someone else's.
A few of us had watched their second leg against Juventus and agreed we wanted to play the Italians but even after the first leg finished 0-0, I think their league form conned us.
I said to Frank Lampard when we were in the dressing room about an hour before the game that it felt too relaxed in there.
We were all so confident because the Premiership table told us we were so much better than them.
| quote: |
The manager wrote 33 in big red ink on the board in the dressing room - the points difference between the teams. |
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
| quote: |
It was the first thing we saw as we walked in. I looked at it. No way will we lose this game tonight, I thought.
But the Liverpool fans that night were amazing. I have never heard anything like it before and I don't think I ever will again.
I walked out into that cauldron and heard that singing and saw that passion.
The hairs on my arms were standing up. |

$$Money can't buy you that$$ :)
| quote: |
Even when they scored so early through Luis Garcia - and now the computer simulation has shown it wasn't a goal I wish we'd kicked up more fuss about it - there was plenty of time.
But at 80 minutes I started to panic and when I saw the clock going to 88 minutes, my eyes started filling up with tears.
When Eidur Gudjohnsen's shot somehow went out into touch in the last minute of injury time I can't explain quite how I felt. It was like everything went from my body. We had had one more chance. This was it. And then it was all gone in a split second.
I was distraught after the game. I didn't know what to do with myself. What I couldn't quite comprehend was that for the second year in succession, we had lost a Champions League semi we were supposed to win.
For the second year in succession we had got so close to the final, the match that is the Holy Grail for every professional footballer, and then we had blown it.
I wanted to run straight back down the tunnel when the final whistle went.
But I went up to Stevie Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and told them: "Go and lift it now. Go and lift it for yourself and for your club." It was hard because a big part of me just wanted to get back to the dressing room away from the cameras and the eyes of the crowd and just wallow in my despair.
When you have got grown men on the pitch crying because they have just lost something they have worked so hard for, the rawness of that can be quite shocking.William Gallas was beside himself with despair. A few of us were.
When I heard the final whistle, I broke down. I was crying. People were saying to me that it wasn't our year and our chance would come.
But I was in bits. Willie and Eidur were the same. The manager came over and said "No tears again. We will have our time."
Going back to the dressing room was the lowest I have felt in football. I know when I walk in there next time, when we play Liverpool in October, it's all going to come flooding back and I'm already dreading that.
I sat there in the dressing room that night with a towel over my head, just crying.
Nobody wanted to move from their seat. We sat there for an age.
No one wanted to look up, speak, move, to get up to get showered or even wanted to get changed. It was an hour and a half before the lads were out of the dressing room.
I kept thinking about something Marcel Desailly once said to me, that in the Champions League, you get one chance at it and if you don't take it, it doesn't happen.
That haunted me as we drove away from Anfield.
Once we had beaten Barcelona we thought our name was on the trophy.
That tie was such an epic, such an upheaval, such an achievement, we felt nothing could be harder than that.
We felt once we had overcome that, we could overcome anything.
Beating Bayern was tough, too.
We thought we'd done the hard work but blew it against a side we should have beaten.

European champions > Premiership Champions.
Argue all you want. Most would agree.
Soon. European Champions/Premiership Champions = Liverpool
Read that equation. You might wanna give John Terry another piece of tissue.. |
