TBH, I don't think Benitez deserve much credit nor criticisms for today's result. It has more to do with the performances of the players than anything else. He fielded a strong side to get the 3 points we need but the players hardly turned up till Benteke got sent off and made necessary changes when needed (except maybe not bringing Torres on earlier for Ba). That's it really.

Worth pointing out that Moses's good performances in the Europa League so far have come against average oppositions. He will definitely need to up his game more against Benfica, if he does indeed start this game.

League Standings: 3. Chelsea P37 72pts (GD +35) 4. Arsenal P36 67pts (GD +31) 5. Spurs P36 66pts (GD +18) Remaining Matches: Chelsea - Everton(H) Arsenal - Wigan(H) and Newcastle(A) Tottenham - Stoke(A) and Sunderland(H) Top 4 us all but secured now with that massive GD over Spurs although if they don't beat Stoke tomorrow, then we will, mathematically, confirmed finish in the Top 4. Anyway, must aim for 3rd now to ensure automatic qualification to the Champions League group stage. If Arsenal fail to beat Wigan next Tuesday, then we will finish in 3rd. Otherwise, we have to beat Everton to guarantee that. Or just match Arsenal's result against Newcastle.

Well played Wigan. Congrats to them and Roberto Martinez for winning the FA Cup. And oh... Michael Laudrup 1 year at Swansea = 1 trophy Roberto Martinez 4 years at Wigan = 1 trophy David Moyes 11 years at Everton = 0 trophy

Or Piszczek.

If anyone wants to scout our opposition, Benfica will face Porto away tonight in their league. The former are only ahead of Porto at the top by 2 points. And the game will kick off at 8.30pm UK time.

'Chubby teen' who silenced the doubters Lovely read about Lampard.

Yes, tonight. 11pm UK time. Didn't you see the tweet I posted?

Lampard on MOTD!! :blue scalf:

http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=169362&start=1950 The Arsenal fans are, unsurprisingly, more relaxed about the game today than Spurs. This is funny though. The 1st and 3rd saying about were posted by the same member.

Almost celebrated like how I did when we won the Champions League. Even went screamed at my dad (who is a United fan)! Suddenly thinking. Should I get a Chelsea kit with 'Lampard 203' on the back? Maybe I should.

http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/the-other-matches-in-the-premier-league-thread.3156/page-102 Don't think the Spurs fans were happy at how the match unfolded today. @The Mak, I see what you're doing there in the forum.

What's with Hazard there? Trying to kiss Torres's arse?!

Benitez on Hazard (and Terry)... Don't think he will make it for Wednesday considering it's a hamstring injury, even if its just a tweak. Will make the bench at most. A major shame to lose him to injury now ahead of the EL final. Just hope his injury (and Terry's) is nothing serious.

LAMAPRD 203! LAMPARD 203!! LAMPARD 203!!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: I CANNOT BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY BROKE THE RECORD!!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

That first half performance is definitely right up there with one of the worst performance this season. Absolutely atrocious!

Oh gawd. We are wearing the black away kit!

You might want to do better if you're trying to play devil's advocate here.

Please stick to talking what the thread is about and not about KamikazeBlue's avatar.

One of you will pay for the result....
