Yup. We were complacent, I feel, in the first match, plus things weren't working out for us at that time. We've managed to turn things around, but this team are no pushovers, as I alreadys aid. But, its all fine and dandy beating Valencia a couple of times, but we have to remember that Valencia are having a bit of a torrid time as well, and are nowhere near as good as they were last season. That's why I feel we will take six points from our next two Euro games.

I agree, exactly. 14 goals for the season is a respectable total. People were expecting instant return for the £30 million, expecting 30+ goals from Sheva, which isn't fair. If I remember correctly, Sheva had 9 assists in the 06/07 campaign, which is 23 goals he had a significant part in.

Hats off to Mark Hughes. In the Fulham/Blackburn game yesterday, Fulham's equaliser was offside, but instead of moaning about it, Sparky was honest. I wa slistening on Five Live and he referred to the match at the Bridge where Kalou "scored," and remembered Blackburn earned a point they did not deserve. So hats off to the bloke, if his position was exchanged with Arsehole Wanker or Sir Alex Fuckyou-Sir, we'd hear no end of moaning.

Top point. Gerrard gave that freekick to himself.

I agree. With each game that passes, he is losing more confidence and fans are losing more patience. They are already beginning to get on his back, and I feel sorry for the man. He is human, afterall.

Great work mate

It was pure luck they got through the playoffs. They deserved to be there for the performance of the second half of their season, but each game was 1-0, defend - 1-0, defend - 1-0, defend. That mentality doesn't deserve to win things.

I'll try and find a video.

Bolton have been brilliant since the 1-1 draw with Spurs, and then the draw with Bayern, so I'm glad we played them when we did.

Must be a jinx or something Derby were never going to achieve a position higher than 20th, so they migth as well have kept him.

True, however, if we beat Arsenal when we play them, it makes up for lost ground. Liverpool will be shot down in flames sooner or later, usually going on a run of 6-0 wins before not scoring a goal for a month, etc.

They expected much else ? Source: Sky Sports

If we go into this match we a draw mentality we will lose. We need to go there expecting a win, and a win is what we will receive.

This guy is a potential star, and his goalscoring record to superior to most.

Well, if Drogba leaves, we need to have someone who is proven in the PL. We have endless amounts of money, we can buy Anelka in the Winter transfer window and bring in Benzema or someone in the summer. That means we have potiential and proven star strikers.

I would hate to see Sidwell leave. A lot of people think he is not Chelsea quality, but I've seen him play a few times and he looks solid when playing with Mikel in particular. perhaps they compliment each other?

Aye, a win would ensure top spot. But a draw is all we need, however, having drawn two of our four matches already, a win would be a welcome tonic I'm going for a 2-1 win, with Rosenborg scoring first.

I was impressed by Sidwell, perhaps we will see more of him.

I'm not arguing that it wasn't deliberate, and it was a stupid thing to do. However, to see him red carded, and then see Stephen Cunt's challenge punished with only a yellow card angers me.

Yes. I'd be happy with a 2-1 win, with Ashley Cole scoring with four minutes to go after a nice link-up in the box

I know why, but I'm not sure Jim wants me to say why. It's nothing to do with the forum's mechanics.

Cool I'll talk to Jim about it

No wonder why I found a sex toy on eBay with GERRARD 8 inscribed on it.

Morris scored in this game I went wild Was one of my favourite players.

He's proven in the PL, with 7 goals in 10 games this season. That's pretty prolific if you ask me.
