Chelsea's Shevchenko seeking Istanbul revenge
tribalfooball.com - September 16, 2006

Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko wants Istanbul revenge today against Liverpool.
Shevchenko suffered heartache in the epic 2005 Champions League final, in Istanbul, missing the vital penalty when the Reds came from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan in a shoot-out.

The Merseysiders then wrecked his Chelsea debut in last month's FA Community Shield, when the Ukrainian scored but ended up losing 2-1.

Shevchenko, 29, said: "In my first game for Chelsea, we lost to them and now it's important to win.

"I scored but my team lost and it is important to win in this game.

"It's a difficult game - Liverpool are a big club and a good team."

Chelsea paid Milan ?30million for the services of Shevchenko and such a huge price tag demands close scrutiny.

The striker has scored twice in his first six games for the Blues but has not arrived in England with a bang.

This week he conducted his first interview in English for Chelsea TV, stayed behind for extra training and joined John Terry for a game of golf but it is on the pitch where he is desperate to impress.

Shevchenko said: "I feel okay. My performance is coming and it's very important to work now for the future.

"My aim is to win the fans over with the quality of my game and my goals."

Liverpool's Benitez cool on Agger, Hyypia decision
tribalfooball.com - September 16, 2006

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was non-committal yesterday over whether Dan Agger would keep his place ahead of Sami Hyypia for today's match at Chelsea.

Finnish defender Hyypia is facing his toughest challenge yet.

Outpaced in the Mersey derby last weekend, he found himself suffering the rare ignominy of a place on the bench in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven in midweek, while 21-year-old Agger eagerly grabbed his chance.

Agger cost ?5.8million last season and saw the latter half of that campaign ruined by injury, but he also had a fine game against Chelsea in the Community Shield success.

That suggests he could again get the nod on Sunday when Liverpool face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Manager Benitez, as usual, was non-committal, saying: "Danny was ahead of Sami in midweek, and he may be ahead of him again. But you must not forget the seven years of outstanding service and experience Hyypia has given to this club."

Man Utd's Fletcher cools Arsenal decider talk
tribalfooball.com - September 16, 2006

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher refuses to accept they can end Arsenal's title challenge with victory today.

"It is far too early to say they would be out of the title race," said Fletcher.

"They are a top-class side who are certainly capable of going on a long winning run to claw some points back.

"I have watched all Arsenal's games so far and don't think they have been doing that badly.

"They might have been overplaying at times, which must be a bit of a worry, but they are still capable of cutting any opposition defence open.

"The criticism they are receiving is probably a little bit unfair and we will treat them in exactly the same manner as we have done in the past."

ghimpheng,

i dun mean to be rude but i think u should refrain from posting wholesale news article after article in this forum. a forum is for all to post views, review, talk c0ck, funnnies, jibes, do anything but....

we want point of views, not regurgitation of stuff we can read elsewhere on the internet. what u do is almost plagarising an original's work from somewhere.

if you must post what's been written, post an excerpt and give your POv. it makes for such much more interesting read and interactions....

what we read from u are mostly garbage we already knew...sorry

ghimpheng SG

nah I think this is the 1st time in history that the top 4 clash against each other @ the same day of the premiership that why i got so excited about it and post lots of news on it and they are seriously not garbage and not all know the news and i will post less next time don't worry i understand what u mean

dragg SG

lampard should take a break. he is easily the worst player on the field.

he should at least stop taking free kicks.

Mad Mad Mad

sissoko should have been sent off. instead ballack's got the red after his tackle on sissoko.

Smile

stellazio SG

well at least he did provide the cross that led to drogba's goal..yea i also felt that ballack was quite harshly sent off.. Laughing

dragg SG

chelsea were again ordinary.

they need a better midfielder. again lampard and ballack proved ineffective.

ghimpheng SG

you are wrong he should take all the free kicks instead of ballack or even sheva and his long balls are very accurate and deadly and his unrivalled stamania and willingness to defend is also a key factor why he is in the 1st team

ghimpheng SG

yes you are right but we were not ordinary last night , we were extraordinary as we got all 3 points with 45 minutes to go with 10 man only

And drogba strike is not ordinary @ all

but however lampard and ballack is really ineffective together should drop ballack and sheva for Robben And Joe Cole Asap

stellazio SG

dude, ballack and sheva haven't even settled in properly yet.. and you know why drogba is performing so well? its because sheva is in there, 2 centre backs has to mark 1 each, thus freeing up alot of space for drogba.. if chelsea reverts back to a 433, drogba as lone striker, 2 defenders will be able to take him on easily.. sheva is the reason why drogba is getting so much chances..

ghimpheng SG

i think you guyz are seriously wrong about this..........it is drogba ability and hardwork that earn himself goals and assists

do you know that last year Drogba has the most Assists for chelsea ?

Drogba Record

04/05 - 13 goals 16 assists , In All Competition - 23 goals 16 assists
05/06 - 12 goals 11 assists , In All Competition - 20 goals 10 assists

why no 1 recongnize drogba i don't understand why drogba credits are all given to Sheva when he did so little

T.Ryousuke SG

The money Chelsea paid for we expect he should be better than Henry.

ghimpheng SG

then rooney is also consider underperforming if he was compare to Henry goal scoring and assists record and the transfer fee of rooney is like 10 millions pounds more than drogba

stellazio SG

.......rooney is still young, and drogba costs 24m rooney was around 28m........

ghimpheng SG

okay.......and why is this topic never in featured topics ? how to get topic into featured topics ? this topic had been view by 1000 over people and going to reach 100 posts and yet no in featured topics even once i don't understand Exclamation

lpx88 SG

Take into consideration his injuries also..Much more frequent than Henry's injury prone-ness.1 of the things i admire about Henry is that he hardly gets injured and is damn fit.

dragg SG

did you notice how henry play?

there is no denying he is a very good finisher but he does not go 100%. take a closer look at him next time he plays. whenever there is a possibility of legs knocking he jumps. i have to say he is doing a very good job of avoiding injuries.

ghimpheng SG

but he losing his sharpness now hope when he return from the minor injury recently he will look sharp and up and running

suckthumb.com SG

you again show us how much you know abt football and how much you easily misunderstood what ppl are trying to say, look i agreed that Drogba is a good striker and that he is very hardworking, especially this season but the reason why he is able to get more goals is because ppl paid more attention towards Sheva hence allowing him more space and time on the ball, and actually you should be happy that Sheva is taking away the attention from Dro. because whoever that has got lesser attention but score goals for your club is supposed to be good news.
