i see no reason at all that chelsea should be able to preform under even greater pressure against a far better team than f'n bolton

btw, anelka couldn't play in that match due to his transfer from bolton.

8-1. i don't think i've seen a score like that since i played football at school.

I mean, hell, Arsenal beat Milan, and then lost to Liverpool. So, you know. Doesnt mean shit.

The Reds manager claimed on Liverpool TV that his side got his young players on the cheap whilst Arsenal over pay.

'I think we are signing fantastic young players but not spending big, big money. I think that is massive difference between Arsenal and us. They have spent big money on young players for a long time.

We are signing players that sometimes you only have to pay compensation for, so we are trying to do our best not to spend too much money. If I told you some of the figures we have paid for certain players and what other clubs are paying you'd be surprised.' Said Benitez.

Rafa must be forgetting that two of Arsenal's four players from the Premier League team of the season were acquired for less than a million quid, whilst the player who arguably should have replaced Gerrard in that team was also brought in for a nominal fee.

Cesc Fabregas, Gael Clichy, Matty Flamini, Nicklas Bendtner, Armnand Traore, Denilson, Alex Song, Robin van Persie, Phileppe Senderos & Kolo Toure were all bought for under £15 Million COMBINED, whilst Rafa himself paid more than £8 Million for a player who Arsenal bought for £2.5 Million only a few years before.

that's some good business. arsenal's biggest issue is that they don't turn over enough money to pay players to stay, even with the new stadium. if they were a bit more popular across the globe, maybe they could pay more.

in any case, i think benitez must be the most disliked manager in the premiership. he throws his toys out when the board doesn't give him what he wants, his players don't like him and neither do his fellow managers. the best bit of transfer dabbling liverpool can do is get a new manager.
