As I have said to you over msn, disagree with you on Maka going off! We needed to more offensive, we might have looked vulnerable, but it was a risk we needed to take and it was a risk that worked. Two post-match things I found amusing: 1 - Avram Grant saying we played well in the first half 2 - MOTD2 agreeing with him. Did I miss something?

Huh. Where did I say I was blaming Grant for taking the chance? I'm blaming him for getting it wrong time and time again, for always being the wrong choice. I don't blame him for taking it, I'm not in that league, if I was him I'd probably think of myself as a pretty good manager and no doubt it was his long term aim to manage a top football club. If you have those ambitions, you're not gonna turn round and say, actually, I really want this, but despite you thinking I'm good enough, I don't, so I'm not gonna take it. Maybe you would if you were 35, but he's actually getting on a bit and thought it was his last (only) chance.

Have you killed a rival fan Should we be reporting you to the authorities badboy?

Yep the pixel thing was what I was looking for. That's pretty much the most common setting so dunno what's happened really. Maybe Jim can shed more light...

We really didn't play that well at all, but I think on reflection of the chances we had, we deserved to win. Drogba should have had four today.

Wish I could say the same, but unfortunately its not a choice I was able to make.

Respect is earned but can also be lost Billy. You were an excellent player for us, but its gonna take a long time before any of us will forgive you for what you did, and many won't ever.

Also, anyone else experiencing this?

Great result. Well done to Avram for getting it right for once, but I'm not going to forgive you yet. We've gotta keep the intensity up if we're to have any chance at the title, but still don't see us managing it... not against United, and Everton will be tough too.

I don't have that problem. Could we have a screenshot of your whole screen? What is your display resolution? Are you using full or restricted width with that setting in the top right?

Worst post ever. Come on, how would anyone post if we didn't reply to opinions we disagreed on? It'd just be a grand brown nose affair. There are a lot of people assuming that those who want Grant out want bad for the club. This is incredibly stupid, of course they don't! But they're looking at the bigger picture. They see Grant messing things up, they think, right we need this tosser out, how shall it be done? Well, looks like he's gonna have to fuck up majorly. So, they wish us to lose, for a long term gain. It's not a position I agree with... I want Chelsea to do well every game, but I can certainly understand it, understand the reasoning behind it. I think it's really low to go about questioning fans loyalty when clearly they want the best for the club they love. Avram Grant is really starting to get to me. Had this win today been under Mourinho, I would have gone mental like a lot of my fellow North Standers did, but to be honest, it was like, eh, good that we win, but I'm not feeling it. Grant has taken that away from me. Bastard.

I don't see any problem with it Ollie, maybe you should post a screenshot?

Do you use AOL Internet Mike? Because the name AOL is obviously springing out in the file name. Try reinstalling the software if you do use it? If you don't, then quite possibly it is a virus or spyware/adware that your McAfee isn't picking up for whatever reason.

I predict a 1-1 draw. Don't think we have enough to beat Arsenal, but I don't think they'll be the team to take our home record. Think that'll be United.

Joe Cole hands down, had a great season and deserves to have this award for all his years work not just this season.

It's great that you're so optimistic TrueBlue (or maybe deluded), but we all have our own opinions. I'm not at all confident in the team right now, and that is entirely Grant's fault. There's no more to it than that.

Avram out etc

Classic stuff from Caroline Cheese!

I always thought that was a stupid chant because it was us that fucked up to let them do that, but now it's gonna bite us in the ass. I am not at all surprised by this scoreline.

Sorry but anyone who wouldn't want Ronaldo in their side is an idiot. Best player in the game at the moment without one shadow of a doubt. So I hear that Ashley Cole committed a horror tackle. Worse, the team valiantly defended him in even getting a yellow card. Pathetic.

Woods and Philliskirk are never going to be as good as Messi or Rooney. Doesn't mean they can't do a good job for this club, but it's too soon. It's very rare that a top club has a player break through so young. So in short, these players aren't good enough... yet, and were never going to be good enough yet.

Both those are youngun's mate, Woods is 17, Philliskirk 16.

Another great shout. Whatever happened to him?

Ah, yeah, how could I forget Forssell? So much potential, so many injuries.

David Hopkins rings a bell CM, you might be right there. I can't think of anyone else who came through our youth team and made an impact in my time, apart from Michael Duberry, but I would say perhaps he did make it before we sold him on.
