Last season was a transition period for Ballack, hence the reason he wasn't that great, but I still think he had a relatively productive season. He lookd like dynamite yesterday, Villa couldn't cope. I don't think we will miss Lampard or Essien so badly when either is injured (or suspended )
We never were going to win the Premier League this season. The ACoN was always going to make sure of that if we hadn't already slipped up. We need to fight for 2nd place, however. We don't want to have to play two extra CL games.
It doesn't matter who you support, two footed challenges should be stamped out, and I am glad referees are doing so. If it had been the other way around, JBB, and Agbonlahor had two-footed Carvalho, you'd be screaming for his head.
Lay off, mate. Cech is the best goalkeeper in the world. He's saved us more times than he has cost us. If hae had saved that penalty he'd have been everyone's fucking hero. Part of me says I am glad he didn't, for that reason.
Ashley Cole - suspended for three games Makelele - injured Essien - suspended for one game Carvalho - suspended for three games Shevchenko - injured Lampard - injured Drogba - Injured, going to CoN Mikel - Going to CoN Malouda - Injured Kalou - Going to CoN Cudicini - Injured Terry - Injured Arguably 10 of the above 12 are first team. And people say United have injuries bad. My arse.
There was nothing wrong in what Cole did... it WAS handball and you could argue it WAS a penalty, but NEVER in a MILLION YEARS is that worthy of a red card.
