Nah...just thuggist.
Update after tonight's goalless draw -
The Really Radical Order
01 Arsenal 02 Liverpool 03 Tottenham 04 Man C 05 Aston Villa
06 Man Utd 07 Chelsea 08 Everton 09 C Palace 10 Southampton
Thought Chelsea were a bit messy last night.
You know something's wrong when bringing Torres on improves things.
Defence as ever, rock-solid - without that we would have been in trouble.
Not convinced by the new guy up front - and he'll certainly need someone better than Ramires to deliver balls to him.
In the circumstances - happy to take the point.
I dunno I thought Chelsea looked more comfortable than MU as the game wore on, not as adventurous but more in control. That's a point gained and two taken off their rivals. MU were all about Rooney who was magnificent again. Mourinho will win things here again, maybe not neutral fans of attacking football but he'll win trophies, Chelsea are the tortoise and MU the hare.

I know! I know!
Jinking run by Stokes in the second minute of added on time then a pass to Forest who tucks it nicely into the corner of the goal, and Celtic are 3-0 up on the night and 3-2 up on aggregate.
Through!!!!!

What a surprise. Both managers too frightened to lose.

D'ya know, that's exactly the thought I had.
A cartel among the big hitters when playing each other and then a free for all against the lesser teams.
Too much money. Premier League football stinks.
Ha!
Group E: Chelsea, Schalke, St. Bukarest & FC Basel!

So, we meet again....
Eto'o to Chelsea on a free transer is an interesting move. He was certainly a phenomenal striker not so many years ago, so it's good to see him in the Premier League.

Lazzard.
I rather like you. I have come to think of you as a thoughtful and intelligent man.
Which is why I cannot begin to comprehend why you would support this soulless bag of leeches.
It does not fit with my impression of you and I therefore demand the situation is rectified immediately.
Objection!
Oh it's Chelsea
Overruled!
