		<description>Looking back at some of these comments is great. How can any seriously knowledgable person say that Arsenals midfield is the worst out of the big four. Lets compare

WINGS
Rosicky Hleb vs Ronaldo Giggs vs Kewell Benayoun-lol vs COle and SWP

Admiteddly Man U top this, Ronaldo is the best player in the League and Giggs is pure class, but Arsenals wingers are two of the most creative and best technical players in the League, who showed up yesterday and in hlebs case against Manu and Liverpool aswell, which cannot be said for Liverpools appaling wingers who dissapear against big teams. would any full back worth his salt have any problems dealing with these two? In Chelseas case Cole and SWP are slightly better but as proven yesterday and for England are not very top notch.

Manu then Arsenal then Chelsea then Liverpool

CENTRE
Hargreaves and Anderson/Scholes( nearly finished) vs Gerrard Masch vs Essine Lampard vs Flamini Fab

For my money out of the DMs essien is undoubtedly the best by a mile, Id put maschareno second just and have hargreaves and Flamini on a level pegging. 

Chelsea then Liverpool then Arsenal and Man U

In terms of the attacking CM I find it hard to see how anyone can argue with Fabregas being the Leagues best, hes done it against man u and liverpool and was decent yesterday. As far as gerrard is concerned people should ignore his penchant for scoring screamers and running around alot and concentrate on his ability to influence games when up against good opposition, its non-existant as proven time and again, vs ManU Arsenal Milan etc. Lampard does some things well but lacks any creativity, is technically inferior to the others and cant drag the rest of his team up with him as shown yesterday. Scholes was the best last year but is coming to the end of his career, and anderson is good, but he still is in his first season so cant be expected to be the best yet.

Arsenal - Man U - Liverpool - Chelsea

Agree?</description>

		<description>Okay 9Titles to say Torres can&#039;t hang with the big boys is a nonsensical statement. He scored a wonder goal against Chelsea, and also scored some pressure CL goals too. He was injured for the Arsenal game, and yesterday, okay, he was given a tough time by the United defenders. But to say he can&#039;t handle big pressure games is a silly thing to say.</description>

		<description>The 22 game mark is a good point to asess the situation, 3 games after the half-way point. By end of January its usually clear who is in and who is out of the race.
Anything up to 6 or seven points behind the leaders gives you a chance but more than this and I think the game is up, eespecially this year where the chase is against more than 1 team. It&#039;s one thing hoping for a stumble from a rival but hoping for 2 (or 3) to slip up is a long shot.

At this poiint its United and Arsenal set to battle it out. Chelsea in the mix but can&#039;t afford to slip up in the next 5 games.
Liverpool hanging on by their finger tips. Expect them to be (realistically) out of it by end of Jan.</description>

		<description>Tevez was great Andrei.  But for me, Anderson was MOTM.  A teenager from South Amercia muted Gerrard.  The only threat he posed were from the free kicks the Red Devils gave up.  Well done No. 8.  

So it is true...Torres can&#039;t hang with the big boys.  Given space against lesser opposition he can score goals.  But today Rio owned him.  But I digress, it must have been hard as the lone striker against the leagues best back line.  Wanker could have had a Title in his first year in the EPL, but I suppose he thought that he could turn Liverpools luck around.  

With Gerrard MIA (is he still looking for his jewelry?), Liverpool were left with bombing in crosses.  Manchester United weren&#039;t even really marking the wingers much in the second half,  letting them have 3-4 seconds on the outskirts of the box before even attempting to close them down.  With that said, I thought it was noteworthy that Crouch didn&#039;t get a single header on ball.  Class act that Vidic is.  What he didn&#039;t get, Evra was happy to clean up.

Another 3 points at the Kop.  Glory, Glory!!!</description>

		<description>It doesn&#039;t much matter who is on top mid December, nobody cares.  I get the feeling that you said that because you happen to be on top...until you start dropping points.  The END of Decmber is a good time to analyze the start of the season and determine who are title contenders.  

I think it is pretty safe to say that Liverpool seem to be out of the running, at least for now anyways.  If Jose were still at Chel$ki, and they didn&#039;t have to rely on $heva to lead the line, they might be in it as well.  But it looks like a classic Arsenal/Man Utd battle.  At least until African Cup of Nations.  Then points will drop like so many tears as you watch the Red Devils retain thier title.

Paul-  We weren&#039;t &#039;gifted&#039; a goal.  It was great set play that caught Liverpool out.  Not marking Rooney?  Great idea.  Hanging out next to the post instead of trapping Tevez offside was even smarter.  Tevez was just where he needed to be in case Rooney&#039;s shot was a little wide.  It&#039;s called positioning.

  Why is someones point not valid if they do not live within 100 miles of the club they support?  Certainly, it would be kilometers, as the last time I checked only Americans measured in miles.</description>

		<description>If there is anybody in the world who does not love Tevez, he better not be a Man Utd fan!!!!

Oh yea, one more thing, FUCK FABREGAS!!! That dirty little prick, why did he tackle Cole like that at the end? Because he is a dickhead, that&#039;s why.</description>

		<description>Yo Paul, chill man chill. We are on top. If you had asked these &quot;We&#039;ll be on top soon, and then good luck trying to catch up&quot; type of characters at the start of the season who&#039;ll be leading by mid december, guess what they would have said. But unfortunately for them, we are on top. Just let them suck on that in peace................</description>

		<description>Ali you talk a load of un-educated bollocks mate. I was at at Emirates and we should of won at least 2-0 as the Adebayor disallowed goal wasn&#039;t a foul and should of stood. If Chelsea can&#039;t take their chances well thats tough shit and so is the 6 point gap! I bet you&#039;ve never been to a United game and I bet you don&#039;t even live within 100 miles of Manchester! As for gifted goals, take another look at Tevez&#039;s effort. Arsenal all the way!!</description>
