Everton are such an average team without Cahill and Arteta. Organised yes but not creative at all. Chelsea didn't really impress but got the job done. Slightly fortunate goal.

If United don't win at Blackburn tomorrow it's going to be close.

Chelsea will be the most undeserving league champions I've seen in my lifetime. Even their own fans are against them.

I can't remember who described them as 'anti-football' but they were spot on.

As a side issue one thing from recent Chelsea games is it's clear JT's legs have gone. He looks like he's treading water when he tries to run. Time for somebody else to take his England place alongside Rio.

its weird watching the 2 teams fighting it out, as their style of play is completely different. both teams are ending the season strong but only one deserves to be there, on football played.

chelsea boring to watch but grind out results better than any team at present, just look at last night. lucky bounce and make most of it. everton where pants with out their creative force.

i think the season is back on again

This "boring to watch" quote, for Chelsea, and the "we play the most attractive football" from Arsenal fans had me thinking today (yes, me thinking! )

It wasn't that long ago that Arsenal were playing the most ****e footie ever, yet winning.
Their fans started the "one nil to the ****-nal!" chant (they were singing it at the Bridge a couple of weeks ago)
They loved every minute of being the team most other footie fans hated.

Now all they have is excuse after excuse, on how beautifully they play, but how unlucky they are.

Long may it continue!

wasnt that ****e paul, but it wasnt what we wanted to see. thats why things have changed under wenger.
3 seasons paul thats all its been without a trophy. took you 50yrs to win the league and that was with 200million input.
plus i dont see anything in your cabinet this year.

dont hear any excuses from me mate. we have had the worse run in years at the wrong time but we will learn from it.

im affraid we are not the most hated team anymore. mancs and chelsea have well and truely over taken us

You ask 5 fans (Who dont support the "Big Four") who the most hated team is in England and they will all give you the same answer............................................ .....Liverpool - Its because they never shut up about history this and history that, who honestly cares about Liverpool winning some cups 20 years ago etc etc erm.................Yep you guessed it just Liverpool fans.

Make an honest team of who you think the best players are out of the "Big Four" and see which team has the most players mine goes: Cech, A Cole, Vidic, Carvalho, Gallas, Ronaldo, Lampard, Gerrard, J Cole, Torres, Drogba so thats Chelsea - 6 Man U - 2 Liverpool - 2 Arsenal - 1 You get goals from all the strikers and midfielders and the defense would take care of itself - try and name a better team.

VDS (Cech has lost it with his injuries. mentally gone), RB is weak for all but I'll go Brown on team stats, Rio (best CB in the world), Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Gerrard, Scholes, Ronaldo, Torres, Rooney.

**** all over your **** team.

I actually cant fault that statement. With number 17 on the way I will look forward to the day (hopefully around this time next year) that Liverpool fans can no longer use the "we've won the most league titles" argument

Rio??? Best CB in the world?? Wow you must be him then STI coz your probably the only person in the world who thinks that and as for Brown you must be joking, Carrick is the probaby most overrated player in the world - what does he actually do? Tackle no, Score no, Pass well erm....... no, Scholes hahaha hes past it and can barely get into Man U's first team these days and Rooney???? He's not exactly a goal scorer is he? hes a flair player whose best position is linking the midfield and forwards why do you think Capello recently said that Rooney needs to score more goals?

Who's better than Rio? He's the rock of the United defence. Hanson says he's the best in the Prem. If the Prem is the best in the world then you work it out. Who from the big 4 has played better at RB than Brown this season? He's been a constant performer in a very good defence. Carrick has done a great job in screening the back 4, he's good on the ball and has a very good range of passing. If you're dismissing Scholes then it shows you know nothing about football. He makes united tick when he plays. Rooney... well people keep having a go at him yet every team would love him. Tell you all you need to know. United fans are used to lesser teams fans being jealous.

Whos better than Rio!?!?! Where do i start, Vidic is your best centre back by a mile have you ever been to see Man U play? Rio doesn't read the game very well at all in fact i dont even think he can read otherwise he wouldn't have been late for that drugs test haha The best Centre back in the prem is Carvalho He reads the game brilliantly, tackles perfectly and even finds the time to come up with a cracking goal or two every now and then. Most will point to the importance of John Terry to the Chelsea side, but this season we’ve seen that in their lowest, downest times, it’s folks like Carvalho who can emerge as heroes. Scholes - yes, i must admit he was good once but hes being left behind by the quality of all the other midfielders in the prem 5 years ago maybe but now hes way past it. I'm not even going to mention Carrick because his ability speaks for itself erm......... hes got none and finally Rooney ha! where would he play in Chelsea's team? hmm........ i can see him playing alongside Wright-Phillips...............on the bench.
