The only team that's more  than Arsenal is Chelsea. Arsenal is just rubbish nowadays though. Liverpool will soon be the 2nd or 3rd best team in England. Probably the glory days are over for Arsenal.

I beg to differ. We have Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky, Kolo Toure, Mathieu Flamini, Emmanuel Eboue and a horde of great young players that have yet to play. *cough Theo Walcott cough* *cough Nickolas Bendter*
I don't think Liverpool will be that good this year, even with their win.  But you never know.
We didn't play well last year, but this year and the coming years, we are going to be very close with Chelsea for the title.

You are forgetting Arsenal's rivalry with West Ham, Chelsea and especially Tottenham!

Theo Walcott?  Tomas Rosicky was a really good purchase though, excellent player. Even if I don't like Liverpool at all, I really think they're going to be really strong this year. Hopefully someone can take the title away from Chelsea, I wouldn't even mind if it was Arsenal.  I really don't like the direction the Premier League is going. Where's the fun when there's one team that is just totally from another planet than the others. The early 2000s seasons when Arsenal and Man Utd were really fighting for the titles, now that was exciting. But today? Nah. It's Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.. they never even lose!

You never know They lost to Liver in the Community Shield, but I expect to win this year.
Man U have been making dumb decisions, selling Van Nisteelrooy and not picking another world-class striker like he was! Buying Michael Carrick for 18 million pounds, when they could have picked up 2 years ago for 15 million less. even though I am a fan of Giuseppe Rossi, he's no Van Nisteelrooy (well, not now at least.)
My predictions:
1. Chelsea
2. Arsenal
3. Liverpool
4. Tottenham
5. Man Utd  (Sorry Tony)

England played very well today! 
But I'm worried, you Greeks played like sh*t.
Man I loved watching the Greeks during Euro 2004. One of my favorite teams to watch other than France, Brazil and the Dutch.

Football Prog:
MALDOROR — L'Arbre-Cimetičre
Review by erik neuteboom (erik neuteboom)
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Symphonic Prog Specialist
Last Wednesday night was a moving battle between my two passions: music and soccer. In the morning I received a parcel with many progrock CD’s. Due to a very busy daily schedule I had to postpone my wish to a first listening session until the early evening. My first choice was the debut CD “L’Arbre-Cimetičre” from the very promising French progrock band MALDOROR, mainly because of two very positive descriptions from fellow reviewers on the Prog Archives site. I had to do it quickly, soon the European Champions League Soccer Finale between my favorite team Liverpool and the shrew Italian AC Milan squad should start. I was very impressed by MALDOROR’s wonderful and moving 24-carat symphonic rock sound but the finale had just begun. After 45 very disappointing minutes Liverpool was 3-0 down and I decided to switch off the televison and re-start my ‘MALDOROR-CD-session’. I was halfway and got every song more excited but then a friend send an e-mail that Liverpool had fought back to 3-3! This stunning information urged me to put on the television. I witnessed a very tense soccer game with eventually Liverpool as the Champions League winners after extra time and a captivating serie of penalties. For me it was “Tears in my eyes” from URIAH HEEP and the stadium speaker start “We Are The Champions” from QUEEN and “You Never Walk Alone” from Gary And The Pacemakers, the Liverpool anthem that can be heard on the PINK LOYD album “Meddle”. After the game I rushed to my CD-player and listened to the rest of the album. My conclusion: MALDOROR is one of the most promising progrock bands I’ve heard in the last five years: the 12 compositions sound wonderful, alternating, elaborated and compelling and features lots of shifting moods, impressive keyboards (Mellotron, organ piano, and synthesizers) and great harder-edged guitarwork. I hear elements from ANGLAGARD, KING CRIMSON, GENESIS, MARILLION and KANSAS but MALDOROR doesn’t sound as a deravitive, they manage to blend their tribute to the Seventies progrock sound with the typical French theatrical approach and lots of original musical ideas. Prog Archives allows a lot of space for the symphonic rock dinosaurs (to me this is OK!) but I would like to say: THIS CD IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

You really think Man Utd. is going to finish that much higher without a great second striker like Van Nisteelrooy was? 
We have growing talent, so theres no way I'm putting us below fourth.
Cesc Fabregas is going to be the next Raul Gonzalez but in a midfield way |

Seeing England play at least competently, with basically the same players as in Germany, makes it clear just what a tactical and motivational numskull Sven was....

That's because you don't have fast Chinese people on your team.
