Good performance. Tenacious and hard-working. A good call from Mourinho. Again.
-
I've missed our human full-time whistle

Why can't some people just give a player credit? I have been hypercritical of Cahill this season, but he shone yesterday. He stopped a certain goal with that block on Falcao's shot, made at least a half-dozen excellent clearances and didn't lose a single header. A good, solid performance.

Mourinho out.
-
Means he'll start from the bench.
-
If he can get 4-5 goals he may well still have a chance of winning the golden boot - especially if we let him take a penalty or two (but then again we never get any of those).....
-
He won't win it. I'll be surprised if does, pleasantly surprised that is, but I can't see it.

In the first leg, they were the better team and I think we did very well to get a 1-1 draw, in all truth. In the second leg, we were negative. Mourinho's tactics cost us, but you have to commend PSG. They out-Chelsea'd us. They did to us what we did to Barcelona. It can be harder playing against ten men when they are so fired up. However I maintain a more attacking display that night would have seen us through, so yes, we can criticise Mourinho here. But by the same token we have to commend him for getting his tactics spot on in 90% of matches this season. He's a major reason why we're on for a Double in a year where we haven't even actually been that good!

Chelsea - 73 points, 21 points remaining Arsenal - 66 points, 18 points remaining United - 65 points, 18 points remaining Arsenal maximum - 84 United maximum - 83 United and Arsenal have to play each other. They have to play us. Mathematically 11 points secures us the title, provided Arsenal and/or United beat us, in which case we need 12 points to be certain. 11 points from seven games? The title's coming home, folks.

What a wonderful temperament he showed, I didn't think he would have started yesterday, but Mourinho put great faith in him and he repaid his manager in kind. Fantastic performance, well done Thibaut!

If Willy didn't cost £30m, everyone would praise him as being a brilliant, consistent 7/10 performer every week who can perform in a variety of positions across the midfield three. We overpaid, admittedly, but stop using that to judge him by. He won't be a 15-goal-a-season midfielder for us. He does a job, a job without which we'd be truly bollocksed.
-
And what little he did do, he still managed to get sucked out of position half a dozen times. All hail Willian for his defensive nous. Branna gives 110% most of the time, but I'm really not sure why he is earmarked as the league's best right-back this season ahead of Nat Clyne - although that being said, apart from Clyne and Ivanovic, there has been no single good performer from right back in any team this season, so it probably boils down to what you prefer in your right-back. I'd just be interested in seeing how well Ivan would perform if he didn't have Willian on Brainfart Duty and doubling up whenever Ivan goes AWOL.

As far as I'm concerned, if Real paid £85m for Bale, then they have to cough up £100 million for Hazard. Unlike Spurs, we don't have to sell as we are a club that actually has ambition. Hazard this season has been better than Bale in 12/13, and that is coming from someone who really, really rates Bale. If Madrid want to sign him, they have to offer mega money because we are not inclined to selling our best players.

It isn't hard to see why people are leaving, is it?

I don't think Matic is playing anywhere near "bad" at the minute. He hasn't been close to his ridiculously good best, but he has still been frightfully consistent and it is no surprise our only league defeats have been inflicted with him either absent (Newcastle away) or enduring an incredibly poor match (Spurs away). Even in his par form at present he is clearly the best in the Premier League (and Europe?) at what he does.

It isn't incorrect, but it bugs me. From my point of view, as a goalkeeper, yes Saying a penalty is "missed" when it is in fact "saved" by the goalkeeper gives no credit to the goalkeeper, which annoys me somewhat, especially when penalties are the hardest thing for a goalkeeper to prevent. For me, a penalty is "missed" if it isn't registered as a shot on target, and if the goalkeeper saves it, it is obviously "saved". But anyway, back to Patch. He's had a great season at 'Boro. Is there any harm in having him as our third choice striker next season? Costa is world class, people are beginning to realise (at last) that Remy isn't too far away from being an excellent forward himself - for a team that only plays with one forward that is enough, as far as I'm concerned. Didier may or may not be sticking around as well as an extra option in the "player coach" bracket - would there really be any risk in giving Patch ten starts and 15 sub appearances next season?

That would almost defeat the point in having a membership for people like me who can't afford to go to every game but use their memberships to have early access to those that they can go to. That isn't what needs to be changed. It is the "waiting room" aspect that needs adjusting, because it isn't a waiting room at all. It is a revolving door where you can refresh one page and it'll take you straight through whilst others will make you wait for hours.
-
The club's ticketing policy is absolutely abysmal. The "online waiting room" isn't a waiting room at all. All you need to do is log in before 6am, and more often than not you can open up the tickets. Just wait until 7am before you hit "Next" and you can carry out the transaction. Archaic to say the least, as other times you can be on there for hours and miss out on tickets, while others can log in randomly and get access immediately. The whole system is outdated. Coventry City have a better ticketing system.

Which wouldn't be a bad thing

We can afford to lose to all three, provided we win the other five
