Ever wondered if you were on a parallel planet?

Watched the Chelsea game. Given had a great match....can't believe Sun only gave him a 6. And Drogba MOM....never....he might have scored but did nothing else. The Newcastlle defence had a good game & Taylor was outstanding.

Individual players are subjective but the Arsenal v Wigan game was to iuse Dot's expression log.

Log passing, log finishing, log entertainment, log picth, log weather.

Log.

But the scores are far higher than the Chelsea v Arsenal game where Adebayor and RVP got 5 and 3 respectively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two more 7's for Fat Frank and JT
Apparently Given was awesome = 6

are we so sure Butt was booked....anyone see the game

So the star man is meant to be the one that turns the game, right? So Neill gets the winner to take Blackburn to the top of the group and avoid CL dropouts in the 92nd minute in a dramatic 1-0 victory and does he get star man? No, he gets 5! OK, I didn't see the game and maybe he deserves it ... what do I know. Mind 5-Live made essien MOM and he only got a 6, so why bother trying to even undestand. Just accept there is another planet far away, where the same matches are being played and are watched by the DT scorers!

This does show how picking up Essien might be a risk. The Sun dont really seem to like him that much.

He has been stunning for Chelsea this season - their main man really and yet he has picked up quite a lot of 6s.

Carvalho only played half a game so he is lucky he didnt end up with half of a 6.

117 points (3rd best midfielder) and only 4.5m - not that much of a risk.
And he's the only chelsea player to play every match so far?

Which probably means he will be knackered by the final window

Obviously his points/cost are fantastic at the moment, just like Drogbas.

I saw snatches of the game in the pub and my lasting memory was empty seats.

Have Arsenal ever played in front of lower Premiership crowd.? 15000 was it?

Log Crowd btw.
