Premier League Preview: Chelsea vs Manchester United

Man United Devils 07 November @ 08:59 AM EST
Man United and Chelsea have been the top two teams in the Premier League over the past few seasons, tomorrow they go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is the on form team and they will be very dangerous, especially up front tomorrow. Man United on the other hand haven't been in the best of form and are looking shaky, especially at the back.

A bit before the Chelsea vs Man Utd match

Soccerblog 07 November @ 08:56 AM EST

Drogbalicious.

He takes over everybody
Sinewy hard, on a goal scoring spree

He gallops on the field, on a tear

He is on his way to critical mass
A nuclear weapon laid bare

And underneath his shorts
He turns on twin burners in his arse

He makes Rio look flabby

Silvestre now that was one bemused chappie,

Chelsea are losing, Ancelotti wears a frown

Jose looks a bit Sourinho

Drogba scores two, turns it upside down

We have seen it before, in the FA, CL, and the Prem

I hate to have to say it but Drogba is a s**tstain

(all players except those from Chelsea)
Drogba makes us look like muppets

(one player)
I'd like to say worse:
He gives me gas

(all fans except those from Chelsea weep)

(all fans except those from Chelsea)
He makes us sick to the stomach that Drogba
He gives us gas and it's not the beer we chug
He makes us look like muppets that Drogba

(Sung to "How do you solve a problem like Maria" from the Sound of Music)

United and Liverpool Disrespect DEAD SOLDIERS

Republik Of Mancunia 07 November @ 06:17 AM EST

The decision of Manchester United and Liverpool not to have an embroidered red poppy on their shirts has caused quite a fuss. United have said that the poppy will not show up on their shirts and with all the work and charity they already do for the armed forces, don't feel that joining other Premiership clubs in having a poppy on their shirt will add to the contribution.

Chelsea V Manchester United – Why Fergie’s boys will not have enough against the Blues

WDKF | Qualified Football Arm Chair Managers Slash Pundits 07 November @ 06:12 AM EST
Manchester United have been nothing but mediocre of recent. Therefore, we will be beaten at Stamford Bridge on Sunday..mark my words. Now some United fans may find those words hard to stomach, especially as they come from a person that gets to twenty five games a season. But i like to call things honestly.

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 07 November @ 04:21 AM EST
I woke up cheerful today, as is normally the case on most Saturday's, especially on Saturday's when we're playing at home. My smile quickly turned into a miserable frown and my joy evolved, faster than than any Richard Dawkin's book, into disgust as I read that Chelsea are now allowed to trade within January's transfer window after the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) postponed the FIFA imposed ban until it (CAS) has heard the club's appeal.

Weekend Match Guide: Ban suspended edition

Dirty Tackle 07 November @ 12:55 AM EST

The matches to watch after you realize that, if for just this weekend, the suspension of Chelsea's transfer ban is far less important than the match on Sunday. And that I told you so.

Saturday

Tottenham v Sunderland at White Hart Lane Jermain Defoe returns from suspension and Aaron Lennon might appear, although this will really be Darren Bent's show as he visits his former team.

Poll: Who Will Win Sunday, Chelsea or Man United?

EPL Talk 06 November @ 09:37 AM EST

Without a doubt, Sunday's game between Chelsea and Manchester United is the biggest of the season between the two clubs who have the best chance to win the Premier League title this season (sorry Arsenal fans). So, it's no wonder that so much importance is being placed on this game. Not that who wins will decide anything, but it will be a massive psychological boost for the winning team and will show which club has what it takes to win the title.

Last days for Rio?

Soccerblog 06 November @ 09:06 AM EST

Injury problems. Shoddy defending. Indifferent form. His burgeoning interests off field. Rio Ferdinand's season has been on the wane.

It was on display against Ukraine and since then it has gotten worse. A struggling Rio futilely pulling on Fernando Torres jersey in the Liverpool match as the Spanish striker blasts the ball past Van Der Saar.

Kakuta Gets U19 French Call-up?

Footy Factor 06 November @ 05:35 AM EST

The Fédération Française de Football (FFF), France's governing football body, this week made the peculiar decision to include Gael Kakuta in their U19 squad for next week's Limoges Tournament. You'll recall the FFF were instrumental in getting Kakuta banned for four months by FIFA as part of the Chelsea transfer ban.

Chelsea to Consider Joining the Stadium Naming Rights Surrender

SoccerLens 06 November @ 04:53 AM EST

This week saw the news that Chelsea have joined Newcastle United in openly stating that they are considering selling the naming rights to one of England's  most established stadiums.

Opening myself to accusations of being overdramatic I believe that if today's announcement to tinker with the name of Stamford Bridge for commercial rights goes ahead it will be one of the biggest events in the clubs history.

Aston Villa v. Bolton

The Offside - Bolton Wanderers 05 November @ 07:12 PM EST

So this is probably the earliest I've ever done a match report (3 whole days in advance) and so I can't link you to the BBC statistics report. You'll just have to go find it yourself, it'll be on this page probably by Saturday. Like I said a little earlier, I'm going over to England and won't have internet until I get back (I'm staying at my grandmother's house and she doesn't allow any technology made after 1972 in), so don't expect any new posts from me until Tuesday at the earliest (there there love, don't pine, you can always go through my archives or go read some of my posts on England World Cup Blog if you miss me too much).
