Fulham Broadway

Drogba looked off the pace-apart from the goal, and I didnt agree with taking Anelka off -seemed bonkers, also not that convinced about Sturridge as to being able to ever have a regular slot. Will end up at West ham or Spuds probs. Overall though happy with a point -oh, and Phil Brown you are a moaning cnut !

Psychologically a must win tonight to distance ourselves from the redshite. On Sky - Breaking News -''Terry starts tonight''. Fuck off you Murdoch scum. Theyre obsessed with Terrys private life -theres people dying in Haiti you knobends

Good shout Frank. The latest I just heard was that Capello has phoned Wayne Bridge to tell him that Terry has definitely lost the captains armband, ............and can he have a look under his bed as it could be there

The team should wear TEAM TERRY T shirts tonight . ...and Terry should make a public statement saying hes ''quitting England altogether because of the News of the World. And that he loves sex -which ironically is what sells the News of the World to saddoes and voyeurs''

Alright CJ -wasnt having a go at JT, more the ridiculous media coverage and the News of the World scum who would quite happily undermine the England team. I would quite happily bet that there are only a handful of Prem footballers that arent sticking their knobs in models on a weekly basis -it comes with the territory. As for Man City wearing those T shirts (only 3 of them by the way) Steven Ireland who lied about his gran dying to avoid playing for his country and Tevez who probably didnt know what the fuck it was all about anyway. It would serve those media hacks and all the moralists who are casting judgement justice if Terry said ''fuck it I'm not playing for England anymore''.

JOHN TERRY HAD SEX WITH AN OCTOPUS JOHN Terry's future as England captain was on a knife-edge last night after it emerged he had sex with a 12-foot octopus. Terry broke at least two of its three hearts According to friends of the millionaire footballer the sex happened when Terry and two of his Chelsea team-mates took part in an all-day drinking session at the Sea Life Centre in Great Yarmouth. One source said: "By two in the afternoon John was getting aggressive and saying he wanted to fight an electric eel, but then he changed his mind and decided to beat up some little children instead. "The other lads picked out this little seven year-old and were holding its arms, when John suddenly spotted the octopus and got that familiar look in his eye. "He bought two glasses of Cristal, poured one into the tank and then pressed his face up against the glass, shouting 'you probably recognise me'. "Then he jumped into the tank, took its leg-arm thing and led it into the corner behind the plastic coral reef where he had sex with it twice. I don't even know if it's a male or a female and, I suspect, neither does he." One expert football journalist added: "Should he resign? I'm not sure. On the one hand he is quite good at shouting while he's playing football, but on the other hand he may have had gay sex with a drunken octopus." Meanwhile a survey of English boys aged between six and 14 has revealed that more than 80% now want to cheat on their wives with the long-term octopus of a close friend or team-mate, but only if they can then pay for it to have an abortion. A spokesman for the Professional Sportsman's Association said: "John needs to consider his position very carefully because it is hugely important who captains the England football team." The England and Chelsea skipper refused to deny the fling with the eight-legged sea creature amid claims he also paid for it to abort their ink-filled, mutant love baby.

Agree -hes not as bad as Henman, but still a complete cnut. Got the impression Federer was toying with him

This will be forgotten once the woman, Max Clifford, and the News of the Screws have made their money and exhausted the sordid pathetic story. A celebrity obsessed society, and this has all the ingredients -Sex, England captain, infidelity. Yawn. Probably only came about because the judge who raised the injunction is a closet Yernited/Gooner. Every Chelsea fan at Burnley supported JT, all the other crap is for voyeurs. The only, and only thing that could jeopardise the England captaincy would be if Capello thought the team was unsettled. Wont happen. hes not interested in whether Bridge and Terry were 'roasting' the girl as long as the team spirit is not jeopardised. Er, the previous incumbent , Sven Goran Eriksson shagging several women behind Nancys back anyone ? Sharing Fariah at FA HQ with 2 other FA Directors ? Did anyone bat an eyelid ? Ok get rready for this...drumroll................. I have it on good authority JT, like most professional footballers are dirty dogs. Big surprise. Go on Capello, give the captaincy to either a drug test cheat, granny prostitute visitor or a bloke who beats up local DJ's in a bar because they won't let you play Gerry and the Pacemakers .

Ha ha ha 'ave that !! He loves to score away from home. Always rises to the occasion.....

Yeah I expect hes been getting his head down Professional footballers are paid , as we know, an obscene amount -what some of us earn in five to seven years they can get in a week. They all have lots of posh cars, Range Rovers, lamborginis etc ands can have models and drugs as well. Its a young mans dream lifestyle. Infidelity is horrible, and its usually the women that suffer, but what Terry has done shouldnt be mixed with his game. The Wags are usually models , airheads, and the affected parties will be able to pay for expert counselling and therapy that we couldnt afford, plus thousands of pounds for the 'story' to Murdochs rags. People calling for his England captaincy head are opposing fans, people that have been scorned, and tupenny moralists. Young peole fuck around, and sure fucking your mates missus is a no no, but at the end of the day will this be an issue in a week ? a month ? or when South Africa comes around ? No. All it is a media frenzy, and the hack parasites that feed off football are having a field day. The latest, is that Max Clifford (yawn), is going to represent the injured party, Bridges ex. So he'll get a few thousand quid, and guaranteed, next week in The News of the World, there will be an 'exclusive' ''see pages 3,4,5,6,7,and 13, 14'' with her tale of events, complete with her in provocative poses, flashing a bit of tit, and and saying ''John was rough, and not/well endowed'' etc etc. Its all a load of bollocks that will blow over, and they wouldnt give a flying fuck in Italy, France, Germany, South America.

Excellent Guardian article -can remember some fans saying West ham mugged us off for the £11m fee Frank Lampard has the goal and matching Peter Osgood in his sights Frank Lampard celebrates as he scores Chelsea's third goal against Birmingham. Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty Images Frank Lampard has an extra incentive to reach the 20-goal mark for the fifth season in succession – the midfielder knows it would lift him up alongside the Chelsea icon Peter Osgood in the club's all-time scoring charts. Lampard has hit form in front of goal in recent weeks. He scored twice in the 3-0 home victory over Birmingham City on Wednesday night to make it seven in eight games and 13 in all competitions, including the Community Shield, for the season. If he could add another seven, it would take him to 150 career goals for Chelsea, and give him the honour of drawing level with the late, great Osgood. "I've set the benchmark of 20 goals a season and I'd love to be there again," said Lampard, whose best return was the 21 goals he scored in 2006-07. "I've got 13 now and if I can carry on, keeping scoring and helping the team with the goals, and get to 20 I'd be very pleased. That would put me on 150 goals and level with Peter Osgood. Funnily enough, I know exactly how many I need. I've got it all in my head. "Twenty goals would put me level with Osgood and Roy Bentley. I'd love to get there. Osgood is the Chelsea legend – him and Franco [Zola]. I met him upstairs quite a lot when I first came to the club and he was always very helpful towards me. I know how the fans hold him so to get up with him and Bentley – the captain when we won the league all those years ago [in 1955] – if I can get there this season, that would be great." Chelsea's win over Birmingham took them back to the top of the table and Lampard is keen to beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday to increase further the pressure on Manchester United and Arsenal, ahead of their meeting at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. January was supposed to be the month when Chelsea faltered, deprived as they have been of their Africa Cup of Nations players, most notably Didier Drogba and the now injured Michael Essien. But, after stuttering in December, they have been flawless in the league and FA Cup this month, scoring 17 goals in their four fixtures against Watford, Sunderland, Preston North End and Birmingham. "We didn't say that it would go wrong in January, everyone else did," Lampard said. "We've got a lot of belief in our team. We've got players who can come in. Maybe sometimes players need to step up and everyone has done that. But I don't think anyone would look at our fixture list as it's been in January so far and expect us not to win those games. "We've gone up a gear in January. We had a bad little run and we probably lost some of our movement and our sharp passing game. But we've worked hard to get that back. January has been nice for us. We haven't had so many games so we've been able to work hard in training on moving the ball quickly, getting into position quicker and not being so predictable, which we might have been in a patch in December

One of the performances of the season. Total football -Joe Cole working hard for the South African trip, Ashley Cole was superb again, Deco although doing his usual give the ball away trick was playing well, the whole team made the zulus look average. The fact that people were bemoaning the defence for Brum having two good chances I can live with, because for their two chances Chels had dozens , and it could have quite easily been another mauling like Sunderland,,,

I dont think heroin would be that performance enhancing Try cocaine. This was the drug of choice for many footabllers professional and amateur for years. Maradonna, Merson and Adams just 3 to come clean. The authorities were looking to crack down, and catch a high profile footballer as it was spiralling out of control. Catching Mutu acted as a deterrent to others, and theres no doubt, coke dealers revenue would have dropped considerably in the nightclubs that professional footballers frequent.....

Quite good really. Will help and speed up the compensation claim....

Mate if that is you i am embarassed for the club. They continue to employ morons as stewards, and I have had several run ins with them -one a self confessed Spuds fan who hates Chelsea fans ! Really good article today by Oliver Holt in the Mirror about tonights Manc derby and how they're killing the passion of the game... Tonights Man Utd v Man City Game I looked up the date in one of my old programmes. It was January 21, 1976 - 34 years ago - when Manchester City played Middlesbrough in the second leg of a League Cup semi-final. A couple of hours before the game, I ran round to my mate John Marshall's house and piled into the car with his dad and brothers. I remember every bit of that night, parking up in Moss Side, John's dad giving some kids 50p to mind the car. The magic of climbing up the steps in the North Stand at Maine Road and suddenly seeing the pitch, floodlit and waiting. I remember the intensity, the avalanche of noise roaring out of the Kippax, driving City on. Peter Barnes, Asa Hartford, Joe Royle and the rest of them sweeping Middlesbrough aside with four goals and the fans singing about Wembley. And the bloke in front was so overcome with it all when Royle buried the fourth that he flung his arms in the air and inadvertently stubbed out his cigarette on the back of John's hand. When we got back to the car, the kids hadn't taken care of it at all. It looked like someone had been dancing on its roof. I laughed about that night with John's dad the last time I saw him a couple of days after Christmas. He was sat in his front room, hooked up to an oxygen machine to aid his breathing now cancer was attacking his lungs. We talked about the old days when John and I were kids and big gangs of us would play football on the local park every spare minute we had. And we talked about City. I'd just been to interview Craig Bellamy so we talked about him and how brilliant he has been this season, how the fans love him because of his spirit. Last Friday I went to the funeral. It was more a celebration of his life and John and his brothers were wearing City scarves over their suits. Other mourners wore sky blue ties. Afterwards, we went to the De Trafford Arms and talked about, well, we talked about what everyone's talking about in Manchester at the moment - the second leg of another League Cup semi-final. The police and the FA chose that day to issue appeals for calm at tonight's showdown between City and Manchester United. And you know what I thought when I heard those appeals? I thought 'I don't want calm'. I don't want morons throwing golf balls or darts. But I don't want calm either. I don't want polite applause. I don't want an emasculated atmosphere. I don't want fans or players to be silenced. I don't want supporters to be worried they're going to be chucked out by a steward if they stand up to cheer on their team. This game means a lot to a lot of people. It's part of a rich seam that runs through people's lives. Don't patronise them by telling them to calm down. That's part of the reason why so many people are raging against what football in this country is becoming. It's not just the greed of the Premier League and the mismanagement of so many club owners. It's the way the authorities are scared of passion in football now. It's true. They're scared. They're alarmed that this tie has ignited so many emotions. It makes them feel uncomfortable. They want football to be airbrushed and choreographed. They want it to be a product. They don't want anything that might hurt the brand or put off the corporates. I don't want that. I want tonight to be tribal, fiery and controversial. I want it to be crackling with tension, nerves and hostility. I want it to be bedlam at Old Trafford. I hope Gary Neville and Carlos Tevez go at it again. At least they feel some of the same passion the fans feel. We've already got enough players afraid to say boo to a goose in case it scares off a sponsor. What's the problem with one man giving a mild opinion about the other's worth and the other telling him to shut his trap? And so what if Neville gave Tevez the finger? Is that really so bad? How prudish, how controlling and constricting some in the sport have become. The city of Manchester has waited more than a generation for this rivalry to become real again It's been a long time since City have been genuine challengers to United. But now the rivalry's back, let's not dilute it. Let's revel in it. This may come as an unpleasant surprise to the men in suits who have been trying for many years to rip football away from its traditional base. But the game is still about more than how much gear you can sell and how high you can raise season ticket prices. The fans that football used to belong to aren't ready to let it go yet. For them, it's not a fashion. It's with them in their living - and their dying. That's why tonight is not a night for calm. It's a night to lose yourself in football, with the kind of joy that stays with you for 34 years. I want tonight to be tribal and fiery and controversial. I want it to be crackling with tension and nerves

Definitely one of the greatest victories, prefer beating United to anyone -even the murderers. Incidentally 13 years ago yesterday we beat the bindippers 4-2 in THAT cup game

Cardiff are a good team at the moment, brilliant awareness and running off the ball. McCormack is good and Chopra still has it and wouldnt be surprised if Cardiff score at SW 6. Good Millwallesque support from Cardiff as usual. Bristol City were fucking hapless though, which tended to flatter Cardiffs performance a bit, and Chelsea will win on 13th Feb.

I miss all his shenanigans - "I leave here with a strange taste in my mouth, but this is your country, your championship. I will move on sooner or later and the problem will remain yours. I believe we will succeed in winning this title one way or another. Now everyone can shut their mouths. This match was an embarrassment." When we play them though, he can fuck right off

Off to Bristol City v Cardiff tonight. Going to sus the opposition out Mourinhostyle

Its as expected -going into the Brum game 3rd. 3 points against Brum , Villa to beat the Arse, Man City to kick lumps out of Yernited, then Arse and Man U to draw on Sunday with Fibrelass and the granny shagger stretchered off after a mid air collision....

Anyone go to the Cardiff game in the eighties ? Cardiff 3-0 up with 15 mins to go and Chelsea pulled it back to 3-3 . Following situation could only be likened to a war zone

Lol cross between a Butlins redcoat and a clown. Yup they're just looking for personal profit even though the clubs in debt, just like the Glazers have done Both him and Gold made their dosh from smut and filth. West ham has been bought on the backs of blokes masturbatory fantasies looking at such titles as 'Big Tits Monthly' and 'Asian Babes'. Wonder if they'll have a new mag 'Blowing Bubbles ?'

Well Arse will probably go top tonight ..if they win by 2 or more...come on Bolton ! but probably a lost cause. They then have Villa, Yernited, US and Liverpool. Time to worry if they're still top then considering our away games at Burnley, Hull, and the Brum game appear an easier proposition. That said, I cant see the arse winning those against ManU or US. Probably when we play Birmingham we will be third, with a game in hand...... I see the next few games as the season watershed -but which ever way you look at it Arse seem to be more of a danger than usual, and hopefully a Bolton bruiser can knock out Fibreglass...

Well hopefully Bristol city have softened them up a bit with a 4-2 defeat. Fergie will be asking his son for a favour, but chels to win 3-0

FERGUSON IN FURIOUS ROW WITH OWN REFLECTION SIR ALEX Ferguson has ordered all the mirrors to be removed from Old Trafford following a blazing row with his own reflection. Ferguson has issued a 'me or him' ultimatum to the United board Ferguson said: "I've behaved terribly and I've really gone down in my own estimation. Until I have the decency to look myself in the face and apologise I'd prefer if I'm not in the same room. "When I've won as many titles as I have, then I can try to eyeball myself like that. I'm a disgrace and I'll be reporting myself to the FA for calling myself that. Then again, I shouldn't expect more from the likes of me." To ensure Ferguson does not have to confront his own face, every surface in the stadium has been repainted in a matte finish and bespectacled staff have been ordered to either wear contact lenses or place a bag on their head. The Glazer family has also refinanced its £500m debt to buy a huge weather machine to deflect storm clouds that might dump dangerously reflective puddles into the manager's path. Groundsman Charlie Reeves said: "The orbit of Sir Alex's eternally-incandescent strop has slowly wound down as the years have gone by and gradually turned itself inwards. "Three years ago, he'd have a blue fit at anybody vaguely Scottish in the building, now he's having mingehuffs with his own reflection. Give it another 12 months and his lungs will start knocking shite out of each other inside his own ribcage." The argument begain after the Manchester United manager pulled faces at himself while shaving. Before he could lunge at the reflection with his razor, he was dragged away by assistant Mike Phelan, who sat him down on the toilet and gave him some chewing gum.
