Cable Forum - Football Season 2011/12

Spurs have quite a history and were the first English side to win a European Trophy. They've also done the double a few times and had a great side in the early 60s.

Chelsea won the league a few times in the past, 55 IIRC when the FA didn't let them enter the European Cup after winning the league. More been known as a decent side that is good in the cup, until the millions from Roman came along

thee elite; Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal are in a league of their own :D

Spurs did the double once only, and that was fifty years ago.:p:

And Chelsea won the league once only before they became Chelski and bought their trophies.

Only Liverpool and United have had sustained levels of dominance. Arsenal seem to always be around there, popping up now and then to win titles before giving away to another era. Arsenal won the title in '89 at the end of Liverpool's dominance and before United's. We challenged United's era occasionally before Chelsea came along.

Spurs do have 3 European Trophies to their name and 8 FA Cups so they have a lot more history than some clubs.

RIP Gary,

Popular figure on both sides of Stanley Park and another genuinely decent bloke taken away from the game at such a young age.

Yes a true Arsenal legend unlike many of the current team apart from RVP who is following Henry down the road to greatness.

Premier League Scores

Aston Villa0-2Swansea

Blackburn1-2Stoke

Fulham v Arsenal17:30

QPR1-2Norwich

Wolves1-2Chelsea

It seems Blackburn and Villa can beat the big teams but then falter against the easier sides but give praise to Swansea and Norwich as both have fine managers who's sides play some lovely football and are a credit to the Premiership.
