Yes, although that's irrelevant.

We're on page 439, go all the way back to page 438, and you'll see this:

We're at the bottom of this post, if you move your eyes up to the top of it, do you remember when you said this?

Cos,

Woof! Those Arsenal youngsters are good, aren't they?

(Haha...)

So, Chelsea are also shit because they lost to Burnley at home?

That was in a worse situation, arguable. They lost when all they had to do was keep scoring from the penalty spot, and had one of the world's best goalkeeper's in goal, with a way more experienced team.

They're current favourites for the league.

The fact that Arsenal's reserves continue to play the best football in the Carling Cup, and even get as far as they did, is an achievement.

The Carling Cup is a mickey mouse cup! Even Spurs won it last year!

Achievement, my arse!

It's an achievement for a bunch of under 18s, mostly, playing against experienced Premier League or league sides.

I'd have preferred them not to win, if you assume Arsenal are gonna qualify for all the usual cups next year, I'd rather not have a UEFA cup to bother with. Just keep using the Carling Cup to train.

You're assuming Arsenal won't qualify for the Champions League!?

Burnley are right giant killers eh, every season they kick big clubs out of this competition.

This cup has become a bit of a joke though, like the premiere leagues version of the UEFA cup. Where Arsenal will be next season.

The funny part is, when they aren't, you'll say you were joking.

If you're not, then you're stupid.

In other news, the masterstroke of buying Robbie Keane for £20 million is once again made to look ever brilliant. How? With Real Madrid buy Huntelaar for three million less.

Genius on the part of Benitez, because while the continual and inevitable bottle looms over their heads with pressured draws against West Ham United at home, even this early, Huntelaar could have been the piece to drag wins out.

Go on, where did I say that?

I said I assume they'll be in all the usual cups; CL, F.A., Carling. I'd rather NOT have an extra cup to deal with, especially the UEFA Cup, which is essentially the European Carling Cup.

-AC

You can't be in the UEFA cup and the Champions League at the same time! Silly!

Well then it's a good job we didn't win.

Because we're so good, we'd have been in both, creating a rather nasty paradox.

-AC

Of both teams bottling it when the going gets tough?

Pfft, no.

Idiot.

Winning obviously. You're a card.

-AC

A card, I am not. Remember, you're the ACe.

I am ace, it's true.

How Ace Are Buildings? Shittest album title ever.

-AC

There´s not point arguing with AC, you might as well talk to a brick wall.

I´m actually convinced he´s a Bot, programmed to let anti Liverpool comments loose at random intervals.

Better than being a bot with the purpose of letting out anti-AC comments.

-AC

so who do you guys think is going to win the championship this year?

chelsea looks pretty strong to me at this point, plus when essien gets back i think it'll give them that boost that you need at the end of the season.

arsenal will finish in the top 4 somewhere but i dont think they've shown enough consistency this year to convince me they keep any sort of a run going. stanger things have happened though.

man united could make a push and are always in and around there, if we get some wins against the other top 3 at home then i think we can make a go of it. if we lose any of those matches i think it'll be over.

liverpool dont have the depth chelsea and even united do, take torres and gerrard out and they're on par with teams like villa and even everton. id actually take villa on the day even if torres and gerrard were in the game.

Top four won't change.

At this point, it's Chelsea's lead to lose. Liverpool can't take the pressure of being top so early on.

-AC

Liverpool will do it, and start a chain of titles success´s.

I don´t do anti AC comments, but take a neutral and realistic view on things. But don´t like people picking on certain teams, be it Liverpool or any other team.

'success's'? 'SUCCESS'S'?'SUCCESS'S'?'SUCCESS'S'?

What?

United for the win.
Chelsea to be second.
Boring Liverpool in at 3.
Villa squeezing in at fourth place.
Spurs a miraculous 5th.
Arsenal 6th. Fabregas sets sail for Barca. Adebayor does one to Inter Milan.
