Meanwhile despite five yellows and one red and only 33% of play Hannover 69ers have just beaten the cheating Bavarians.     

I'm taking all the money I won on France down to the bookies in the morning and putting it on United to win the League! 15/8! 

Can i swear... LOUDLY???

 

Dear oh dear - what a shambles! For several weeks the only talk of Chelsea related to them going about their business quietly - but remaining in touch with the two Manchester clubs. Back to back PL defeats, multiple dismissals and serious allegations facing the club captain; now daylight has opened up between Chelsea and the leaders - plus several clubs are putting third position under threat. Crisis at The Bridge - or just a blip? 

It doesn't really matter. Meanwhile I saw our game and we were rubbish.

I'd wager we were worse... Then again it's not even a surprise to me right now.

Cue us to win on Monday then. You're only above us on two goals difference 

I said before that we shouldn't write off Arsenal. Early days and such. :smug:

Stoke away is tough.

That's right, today was so much mor than a win for us.

League Cup Quarter-final Draw

 

Arsenal v Manchester City

Chelsea v Liverpool

Manchester United v Crystal Palace

Cardiff City v Blackburn

 

So ManYoo get the easy draw yet again!

I was at Stamford Bridge yesterday with all my family (for my son's birthday treat). My 2 Chelsea loving sons were a bit gutted, but what a cracking game of football that was yesterday!

Arsenal fan to his mate, "What time is it?" His mate replies, "5 past Cech"!....

 

I'm here all week..

Stoke next up, I've been dreading it since Wembley...

 

Perhaps it'll be a bookend to a horrible 6 months, but I fear that won't be the case.

Well done Sprout, that's the way to play Stoke.

 

Had to laugh at Pulis whinging about the time the barcodes were taking over their throwins!!

You couldn't make it up

Immense effort by everyone tonight Veggie   Gutz put in a shift and a half   

Well done!

On my way to Donny! Don't let 'em start without me!

Its getting to the point where I am actually scared of what's going to happen next score wise

Disturbing chants at Stamford Bridge from Chelsea fans.... this could get nasty.

Woo hoo! Won 3-1. On our way home.

Well done Joe, saw that you'd won.

 

Our match sounded a bit of a borefest - glad I never splashed out on a ticket tbh. Still a draw is not the worst result - not yet anyway. Will be a right sod if it comes back to haunt us though.

 

Chelsea drew too and missed a pen apparently.

???

What tonight Meaty? Chelsea are away in Belgium

Oops, copied and pasted from someone else off twitter. Them who made the error not me

No worries mate. They could well have been chanting stuff in Belgium but this whole racism stuff is going mad at the mo.

the latest is that RVP's goal celebration was a Nazi salute according to some thicko stirrers. They should realise that when they falsely claim racism where none exists, it  causes problems for those who are genuinely suffering racism

Apparently the Chelsea fans were making offensive chants in Belgium.

One should also mention Billy Sharpe, his goal, and his attitude. What a hero! He made players like Tevez, Terry, and in fact many premiership players look like the arseholes that they are. Roundly applauded by both sets of fans.

Read this earlier, a player continues to play and scores two days after his sons death... but Carlos Tevez can't be arsed just to warm up for £200k.

 

 

Respect to Sharpe.

I’m more inclined to make offensive chants regarding the missed Chelsea penalty and the seeming chaos over who would actually be taking it! I cannot help but think AVB has a number of significant issues to sort out.

Indeed!

 

Useful 3 points for Boro though that keeps them well in touch with West Ham.

Payback.

We wre rubbish again. Another three points mind!

Well done Dis. I have zero tolerance for Stoke.

Hi all long time no visit 

 

Happy with Liverpool's good win on Sunday over Chelsea- all the talk was of the two ex reds and it was an ex blue who did the damage!!

 

Veggie you must be delighted with Arsenal's run of form- RVP is just incredible and excellent for my fantasy football team too!! You will be in with a good shout for top 4 if it continues.  The two Manc clubs are shoe-ons for 2 of the CL places, City almost certs for the league, they just have incredible strength in depth. United are going through a bad spell atm they are getting results but are far from convincing, Rooneys positional change means they have lost their biggest threat up front. The CL shows that both teams are beatable.

 

Chelsea are in a terrible place at the minute they seem to have trouble finding an on form forward with Lampard doing most of the work. Mata is a tremendous signing very creative. Ramires is coming of age but still is a bit too naive at times. Luiz is very unpredictable and has often been the cause of conceding goals mostly pens.

 

Spurs are off to a flyer after an early blip against the 2 Mancs, they are going 1000mph but its very hard to keep that up all season. Over the winter will be a big test for them if they can keep that same tempo up.

 

As for Liverpool, we care so unpredictable. We have taken a total of 7 points off Chelsea and Arsenal away and Man United at home. We need to raise our game for City on Sunday but for some reason Liverpool can raise their game for big teams but struggle with the weaker teams which is quite worrying and it often why Liverpool miss out come the end of the season.

 

Newcastle are doing brilliantly and I'm glad as I really like them and their style of play (Ashley is still a prick though), I don't know if they can keep top 4 status til the end of the season but I would love them to at least get some form of European qualification. Ba is an excellent purchase as is Cabaye.

 

Its not the race for 4th any more its the race for 3rd and 4th because Chelsea have self imploded of late and have tough fixtures coming up with fellow contenders (Newcastle & Spurs, and City too I think) Its any ones game!!

Nice to see this thread return!

 

Not so nice what i'm seeing from Chelsea at the moment though!

Well done finding the thread! I'm off to Peterborough on Saturder!

Morning all

 

Thanks for digging the thread up RR, lovely to see you back here

 

Yep I am ecstatic after how bad the beginning of the season was but we are still fragile defensively - prone to switching off and to shocking individual errors which needs to be ironed out if we are to stand a chance in anything. I went to the game last night and it was tense.

 

You must have loved beating Chelsea at the Bridge. I know we did!! They are going through a mini blip at the moment so I can feel for their fans because it is horrible when everyday there is another bad headline.

 

Brentford are doing ok too - you just never know which one will turn up!

 

Joe - hope you beat The Posh. I hate wifebeater Fergie Junior so I always want any team he manages to lose.

Did you see the story about Parkinson? Apparently Tony Mowbray is using him to help scout players even though the guy can only blink his eyes as he has locked in syndrome.

Tony Mowbray must be one of the nicest men in football,

Big football story of the day - American Samoa has won their first ever match. 10 years ago they were beaten by Australia 0-31.

 

Tim Cahill hasn't scored for Everton since December. Get your bets on now.
