    Hi Michael,

    My name is Kyle MacMillan, and I am an aspiring journalist writing for B/R. I love to read your and others writers work. I have been trying very hard to become an FC like you and many others, but many of my articles that I work hard on are removed from public view after a short period.

    Anyways, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your articles, especially the Best Team On The Continent.

    Hey Michael, what do you think the chances of Chelsea beating Liverpool, Chelsea beting Blackpool, Everton beating Newcastle, and Fulham beating Spurs?
    If all of these happen then Chelsea advances automatically to the Champions League next year. So what do you think our chances are?

    yes, read that and passed it along to my brother as well...

    what i wanted was a specific analysis of whether RvP will gradually be converted to a role like Bergkamp's... that's what set off our debate really...

    In the years to come, RvP will drop back to the "hole", and let a pair of younger legs run around near the goal, while he himself will poach & create (hopefully magnificent) goals...

    :)

    do you reckon it deserves a separate article??!! :)

    if only wishes were horses...

    thanks for the really quick reply... fancy an article on the topic?? please!!!

    My brother and i are wondering, now that the Lukas Podolski deal is offficial; what position will he play in next year?

    (Surely RvP will stay)

    I believe that we'll play the 4-4-1-1; with RvP in the hole just behind Poldi - who i predict will be an out-&-out striker at Arsenal. Wenger called him a "striker".

    My brother says "Its like Drogba-Torres….both will complement each other..or or or Lukas will be more like a Reyes….Winger and a striker"

    what do you reckon will happen??
