How about that Manchester United vs Chelsea match last week? 0-0... zzzzzz... maybe both teams need to improve their offensive game. We'll see what happens in January.

[out of names]

That was a weak match really expected more from both mu and chealse

This is a legacy thread about a great game...therefore more on topic than any Crime City thread not named the Marathon, Drunk, or Calling Out All So Called Females thread. Plus, CC used exploding Pigskins at one time BECAUSE of this thread.

Arsenal! Ozil!

Good bit of business there. He'll make Giroud look like Van Persie in no time.

[Ragmondino]

Good player, better than bale. Technically ozil is far superior. I give it 3 years mad before Bale is back in the premier league with his tail between his legs.

Sadly Spurs will finish above arsenal this season...

And this was in off topic, not quite sure who moved it to general. I can only assume its because its what inspired them pigskins....

Oi this is the football thread, none of that American stuff. Good English premier league football. Stop de railing my thread

the English premier league stopped being English a long time ago! I still remember the days when the entire first 11 of top teams were from the british isles. was it Chelsea which first fielded an entire lineup without any brits?

[Ragmondino]

'twas Chelsea yes. And I think, but maybe wrong was middlesboro under mclaren who was the last to field an English 11..

Interesting Facts for £ spent since Prem league began:

Chelsea, £673 million — 12 trophies — 3 Premier League titles (2o05, 2006, 2010), 1 Champions League (2012), 4 FA Cups (2007, 2009, 2010, 2012), 2 League Cups (2005, 2007) and 2 Community Shields (2005, 2009).

Manchester City, £572 million — 3 trophies — 1 Premier League title (2012), 1 FA Cup (2011) and 1 Community Shield (2012).

Liverpool, £414 million — 6 trophies — 1 Champions League (2005), 1 UEFA Super Cup (2005), 1 FA Cup (2006), 2 League Cups (2003, 2012) and 1 Community Shield (2006).


Manchester United, £352 million — 16 trophies — 5 Premier League titles (2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011), 1 Champions League (2008), 1 FA Cup (2004), 3 League Cups (2006, 2009, 2010), 5 Community Shields (2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011) and 1 FIFA Club World Cup (2008).

Tottenham Hotspur, £350 million — 1 trophy — 1 League Cup (2008).

Looking at those figures... I dont think you could ever say United have "bought" titles.

Exactly, no way United have bought their titles, spent far less than other teams. When we have spent then we've generally got our money's worth.
