Indeed, yet another outing cut short by a bloody red card necessitating changes.

It's almost as if Anelka has decided to not play well when starting. There is a marked difference in his performances when used as a starter and when brought on.

On now, thanks!

Won't it be just typical if we get City away and Utd get Palace at home?

Need a video for this desperately. I should be studying atm but ... fuck it. :cfc:

Wouldn't play Luiz. Arsenal are a bunch of diving fairies and no doubt they'll look to target Dave's penchant for trying to win unneeded challenges. Ivan - Alex - JT - Cole

Any proof of FA's competence can be gauged from the fact that they spent 20million £ on a WC bid which managed to garner ... hold your breath ... a grand total of 2 votes. I can't fathom what official explanation do they seek with regards to AVB's Foy comments? He basically said what everyone who saw that game already understood - that Foy's a biased bastard. What scope does that leave for further explanation? Utd's CEO - David Gill is a member on the FA board. Did I hear you say 'conflict of interest'? No? Shame.

Guardian reports Ferdinand will decide today if he wants to pursue action ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/24/john-terry-anton-ferdinand-chelsea-qpr

It's not so much the decisions he gave, it's the ones he didn't give. It's hard to defend the inconsistencies, that's what AVB said as well.

Not expecting much from this. Just hoping for a live telecast, cba looking for a stream at 2 in the morning.

Then Warnock should also be handed a ban, remember how Carlo was warned last season for praising the ref? It's the first time AVB has ranted about the referee, I suspect they'll let him go with a rap on the knuckles.

FA Guidelines in the matter : Serious Foul Play - 3 Matches Violent Conduct - 3 Matches Spitting at an Opponent - 6 Matches Use of offensive, or insulting or abusive language - 2 Matches Denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball - 1 Match Denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by an offence punishable by a free kick or penalty kick -1 Match Receiving a Second Caution in a Match -1 Match So, Cole and Bosingwa will be available against Arsenal.

"Yeah, yeah, you fucking bellend ... fucking knobhead." So racist

Trying to put the sense of injustice aside, We really should have started better. Whenever we've played with intensity, we've done well. The tepid start was baffling considering the result at OT. It gave QPR just the opening they would have wanted in their biggest game of the season at home. They played off the buzz their crowd created and got stuck into us. We were reduced to the dreadful sideways and backwards passing that defined Carlo's second season. The penalty was a shocker - there's no way you should allow the ball to bounce inside the box but their striker had fouled Luiz in the buildup outside the box and that's where that play should have stopped. Still to come back was eminently possible up until Drogba lost his head. Can't decide who was worse between Drogba and Mikel in the first half. I still don't get why we needed to play Mikel against fucking QPR. AVB needs to take a look at his subs as well, how Sturridge was taken off instead of Drogba is beyond me, perhaps he'll let us know in his pressers in the coming days.

What I'm worried about is that it doesn't take a player long to develop a certain reputation. If he keeps giving away these silly fouls, it's only a matter of time before more refs start awarding decisons against him without giving him the benefit of doubt they'd give to someone else who doesn't have the 'clumsy' tag after his name.

Any man would be pleased to see his investment paying off.

I think we should file an official complaint against the cunt and get him barred from refereeing any Chelsea game in the future.

Annoying, more like. I'll be pissed if he gets a contract extension.

Second half : Losing points, winning hearts.

lmao Luiz. He's going to get sent off anyway, land a right jab on the fucker Foy while you're leaving.

2nd half posession - 9 men Chelsea 59%, 12 men QPR 41 %

Blatant push on Terry.
