Comments on: Blake’s Top 10 Footballing Sides 08/09 http://www.epltalk.com/blakes-top-10-footballing-sides-0809/6460 Daily News & Analysis of the English Premier League Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:47:15 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ish http://www.epltalk.com/blakes-top-10-footballing-sides-0809/6460#comment-45616 ish Wed, 06 May 2009 13:19:37 +0000 http://www.epltalk.com/?p=6460#comment-45616 fulham is a wonderful team, withtheir defense sorted for at least another season barring any transfers they can invest in some creative players maybe. I think having 1 quality attacking player will allow them much freedom. West ham have been amazing and its no coincedence that when clarke left chelsea did shit under scolari and west ham picked up under zola. Clarke really needs to be given a go managing, defensively and tactically he is really what kept the chelsea machine going when mourinho left. Also arsenal for most of the season were playing like west brom but with more money, they were boring to watch, too many useless passing with no final product who hold CL teams to higher scrutiny. fulham is a wonderful team, withtheir defense sorted for at least another season barring any transfers they can invest in some creative players maybe.

Is there an enjoy-o-meter? Nah, I didn't think so. Oh, and Arthuhr, what factual evidence shall I gather to post how much enjoyment I get from a game? Is there an enjoy-o-meter?

Sorry, but with the odd game or two being entertaining from the Gunners, they have been less than memorable as a season thus far. With just a few games left this season, I doubt they'll make me remember them for much else than flat performances with one or two bright spots. Sneaking into 4th place because Villa lost their way? Arsenal are surely better than that, but they've not shown their classic footballing genius this season. That's a fact. Ed,

All of them by Arshavin, who as you know wasn't with the team for most of the season. They were on their heels dealing with Liverpool the whole time, which is why the Reds are #1 on this list. I would argue that the reason that game was exciting was more because of them than Arsenal. Calling someone a moron for stating their opinion...you can do better than that. Ed D:

But if someone had the opinion that "Howard the Duck" was a better movie than "The Godfather", how many people would say, "okay you're entitled to your opinion", as opposed to the people who would say, "Um, are you f**king crazy?" And that's what I got out of this blog post. The person who wrote it has every right to his/her opinion. That doesn't mean it's in any way sensible, well-thought out, or even compelling. And I would guess that 82% of footy fans who read it would have that reaction: "Um, are you f**king crazy?" Of course everyone’s entitled to their opinion.

Teams that put me on the edge of my seat. Frankly, I haven't see an Arsenal game that I've been on the edge of my seat for, as to where I put Fulham on the list because when they're at the Cottage, they play good football. I think it's safe to say that the Arsenal have had a less than miraculous season. Just because I don't write fluff articles about Arsenal, doesn't mean I don't think that they have no quality. It doesn't mean that I'm doing this because I am a closet Tottenham fan. It's simply my opinion. IF you don't like opinion articles, don't read them. It's that simple. And, I think placing Liverpool as the top footballing side is well justified, regardless of someone else's remarks about Hillsborough.

These are opinions of one person. If he would rather watch Fulham play instead of Arsenal, that's his right and his opinion. Using the same criteria, I'd rather watch a Stoke City game at home because of the crowd, Delap's throws, and their resilient defense more than a Man City or Tottenham game. That's my opinion, just as Blake Creel is entitled to his. Stop crying when people don't agree with you about your favorite team. Why keep checking and reading a site you do not like?
