SPAOTP is one of my favourite while I enjoy this site to get the US perspective.

I like a bet (shame on me!) so I find the betting at Betfair blog pretty helpful...and ocasionally funny.

Good point MJ. That’s why Rafa and his rotation needs to go. It chokes team chemistry for the long 38 game PL season. Bring back Houllier! No wait, maybe we can go after Rjkjard, Van Basten or Guillit. I’d love to have a Dutch manager playing “total football” with the Reds!

Right, but you seemingly don’t understand that it’s a “what have you done for me lately” business, and for all of Liverpool’s history and their success and for the relative lack of Chelsea’s past success, the fact is that Chelsea have won more than Liverpool recently and that’s what people care about.

As thescout said, not sure how you can put Maple Lions at #5 when nothing’s been posted there for a more than a year. Surely there are better blogs out there; why are you grasping at straws?

Great, that means Cheski has won 2 titles in the past 53 years! Even Forrest has more than that!

Liverpool John, how many times has Liverpool won the Premier League in the last 18 years? Zero. How many times has Chelsea won the PL in the last three years. Two. Thank you very much.

It’s tougher to win the PL because you have to play 38 games, whereas in the CL teams play 6 in the group (but even then only 2 of those are usually tough), then have to just score more goals over two legs for 6 more games (Round of 16, 8, and 4), then win one one-off game for a toal of 13 matches.
