You all missed the most important team in the league!!! SHAME ON YOU ALL!!! Honestly, all you people with your Man Utd's, Chelsea's and Arsenal's, the only team that should be followed is MIDDLESBROUGH!! and dont you forget it!!!!!! 
Well until christmas anyways that's when we go downhill (if we manage to get up it in the first place) - must be all the warm beer, roasts and yorkshire puddin's

Only important to me because they took 3 points off Arsenal. I think they are a rough chance of making Europe this season. The matches around the christmas period will determine where Middlesbrough will end up this season.

So what's with Chelsea ,
Come up against Liverpool in UCL and it's a nil all draw, an away match for us . Then 3 days later, 4-1 in EPL!!! What are we going to do with them . I say the team needs a complete reshuffle, it's probably the only way any one else is going to have a chance this year.
Chelsea 8 24
Charlton 7 17
Tottenham 8 15
Man Utd 7 14
Bolton 8 14
Man City 8 14
Cheers,
Gary

We all know Liverpool don't contemplate trying in the EPL, would have prefered to slot 4 past them in the UCL as well...
All these boring boring Chelsea taunts im hearing are disgraceful. We have scored 6 goals more then any other team in the EPL and conceded 2 goals less. Maybe someone should start a champion champion chelsea chant. It would be far more appropriate.

Boro are very inconsistent.... Look at their last 6 matches..
Beat Birmingham City 3-0
Loss Charlton 0-3
Beat Arsenal 2-1
Draw Wigan 1-1
Loss Sunderland 0-2
Beat Villa 3-2
When on song they have been able to beat good teams (Arsenal match, and the performance against Brum City was amazing), yet other performances have left alot to be desired (the wigan draw, and the sunderland loss)...
It really depends which Boro side walks out on the park, they have been the hardest team to pick this season.
Craig Craig Craig. Blinded you are. It's not that Chelsea aren't scoring, or that they aren't conceding either. It's just that they play really boring football. If I had a man called Hernan Crespo in my side with Attacking players like Robben, Duff, Lampard and Cole, I would be overly dissappointed if i did't score at least 3 goals everygame. Your boys have the side, and definatly the money which they don't deserve, but ahh well. But week after week instead of seeing what could be an awesome partnership of Crespo Drogba, we see this boring as hell 4-5-1 formation. Man Utd have finally stopped doing it and we see a 3-2 win over Fulham, and I'd rather see a 3-2 win over a 1-0 win any day of the week. That is why we will chant BORING BORING CHELSEA for many a weeks to come. They are way to happy with a boring 1-0 win. Thrown on Crespo and Drogba up front, put in an attacking midfeild with Cole/Essein, Lampard, Robben, Duff and Makelele. If your so good defnsively you should only need 3 at the back? But for crying out loud, with a team like that attacking, you should be able to win everygame 3/6-0/2. You know it's true as well.Craig Ryan said:

Ouch, lets try to keep things above the belt ok?
United right now are going through a very similar thing to what happened last year. We have Keane, Heinze, Neville, Silvestre and Brown (i believe this to be right, trying off the top of my head) all out injured. We have a winger playing left back with our top defender not quite on tune yet. You try playing without Gallas, Del Horno, Terry, Calvarho and Makelele and see how you go. I don;t care what any says about Lampard, Makelele is by far your most influencial player, same as Keane for us. It's been simply incredible how long Chelsea have gone without a major injury to one of their big players... it's only a matter of time.

Hah! Tell me something I don't know!Craig Ryan said:
They can also be quite useless too! I remember a few years back when they couldn't stay in the top flight! they'd be back the follow on year after winning first div, but back in first div the next follow on.
Inconsistancy is nothing new unfortunately ... but we will still beat chelsea!

i'm sorry guys but i rather see real madrid play than anyone in the english premiership cause they have skill, class and magical to watch

I find it amusing having these comments still bandied about, you have more players from other countries playing with premier league teams than english players. So what? is it the plane ride over? the food in England? maybe the english water? what is it that makes italian, french, swedish, south america's, spain ... [enter football playing nation here] ... players play so badly (with less skill) once they take the plane flight over?? Is Beckham a better player now that he's left England?? (not that he was a good player while in England - but now he's no longer in England his skills must have increased tenfold ... no ... interesting.)terry parsalidis said:i'm sorry guys but i rather see real madrid play than anyone in the english premiership cause they have skill, class and magical to watch
I thought my last thought interesting so I did some research:
this year (now that beckham is much better in his skills - being that he plays for "real madrid" - which is not in England - so he must now have skill) he's started six games; scored 0 goals; he has had 11 shots, unfortunately only two were on goal; 0 assists; he's commited 13 fouls; yellow carded once! WHAT SKILL (maybe he should go back and play in england - you know where his skills would be on par with e'one else)

If only Fox showed the Chelsea v Bolton match last night. 4 goals in 10 minutes from Drogba and Lampard were the highlights in a 5-1 demolistion of Bolton....terry parsalidis said:i'm sorry guys but i rather see real madrid play than anyone in the english premiership cause they have skill, class and magical to watch
9 goals in the last two matches. Not bad for a team with no skill or class!! Even more amazing is the fact they are being BORING TO WATCH!!!
By the way, where have all the Arsenal supporters gone? I guess they wont be back anytime soon after a loss to West Brom!!

Look out Craig, someone out there is bound to say it's only because Bolton were down to 10 men. Then there's the lame comeback that Essien should have been sent off instead of booked. It's the typical tall poppy syndrome, pick on winners and those will to do something about becoming winners.

All i would need to say is this...GaryH said:
After 9 matches, we are 3 matches ahead of all rivals.....
Not long now before we claim Arsenal's record of 50 EPL matches unbeaten....
Chelsea were boring to watch. Granted in the last 3 games they have been in incredible form. Especially up front.
I don't think anyone would ever say that Chelsea has no skill. Any team that can leave Crespo, Cudicini, Joe Cole on the bench must have one hell of a line up.
My beef with Chelsea is that they didn't make it to the top the same way as every other team in the world, barring Real Madrid of course, made it. I call it pot luck. Some absolutly loaded Russian bloke buys the club and makes them an incredible team. Sure it was lucky that the United's, Arsenal's, Barcelona's, Milan's and Munich's hit the top at the right time, maybe they were always at the top because of their fan base, who knows, but the most important thing is they hit the top because of their fan base generating the money for them to make exceptionally good buys in the transfer market and a couple of wonderful talents through their youth ranks. Chelsea however, got loaded and have spent millions on guys that aren't worth millions just to be able to take the best players from other teams, offering them stupid amounts of money, and make it so that they have 3 players for every position. Not even Real Madrid is that greedy.
Thats my beef with Chelsea. Although I will take my hat off to them for their last couple of performances... shame I don't wear hats though.
