Leicester City. Timmy_laf, congratulations on being a foreigner and not supporting Man U, thereby bucking the trend. Most Man U fans have never been within a thousand miles of Old Trafford.

How many Manchester United fans does it take to replace a light bulb?
Two - one to change the bulb, the other to drive him up from London.

Chelsea all the way. I don't remember any names but I just love them playing. Just as much as I love watching Real Madrid play.

But I know players from RM.

I think you are one of the ones that have converted to chelsea just because that Albromavich guy has bought them and theyre doing good cause he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on new players! not a true blue chelsea fan!

Geremi
Damien Duff
Frank Lampard
Adrian Mutu
Hernan Crespo
Marcel Desailly
Wayne Bridge
Joe Cole
Mario Melchiot
Carlo Cudicini (Goal Keeper)
William Gallas
Jesper Gronkaer

Nistelrooy's moves? you mean him sprinting into the box then falling over for no reason?

I cant stand Nistelrooy, only because he is a brilliant footballer, so why does he need to cheat as well? >.<

Van the Man (aka Ruud Van Nistlerooy) DOES NOT have a lot of skill

he is a finisher for Man U, everyone sets him up, he has never scored a goal in the EPL outside of the 6 yard box, and has missed 2 out of 3 penalties this season so how could anyone think he's really good!

But if you do fantasy football of any kind he's good for scoring you points there!

Bugger the premiershit teams. Just a bunch of overpaid prima donna's (or in a few cases, prima doner's )

For moral superiority, then Brighton and Hove Albion. Afterall, "the seagulls" have a good go at shitting on everyone.

It's my league, I'll insult it if I want to

You're lucky. You've got Aussie rules. Now that's what I call an EXCELLENT sport (except I can only see it in the middle of the night on some obscure satelite channel. Mores the shame).

Enjoy.

regards

John
