Never easy against the dirty northerners. I still blame Savage for Kezmans shit performances. He elbowed him on his debut. Welcome to the Premiership. Anyway, even with our absentees we should come away with three points, which we need if theres any chance of catching the gooners 6 point adrift. Mark Hughes’ side have conceded 14 goals in their last five games and not won since the turn of the month.

Still it's history now. They're out of the competition, we take on their Merseyside cousins , and are 180 mins away from another final

Already applies to Italian teams Thats gash, cant be true.

No word from the FA yet about Crouch swearing at supporters as he went off. Funny that.

Arnesen should have emphasis on scouts in Africa, if he hasn't already, judging by the quality of players coming from there. Something Arsenal realised a few years ago.

If it'd been the other way round Mikel would have been pilloried in the media, and booooooed at following matches.

Although no CL game is a foregone conclusion, it'd be safe to say we'll overcome the Greeks. LuaLua still there ?

Good news, and from the Telegraph The deal represents the first fruit of a network of scouts in South America established by Chelsea's sporting director Frank Arnesen that has also alerted the club to Corinthians' 17-year-old Brazilian prospect Lulinha. Arnesen has been tracking Di Santo for a year and the signing comes after Chelsea saw off interest in the player from both Liverpool and Manchester United. "The operation is closed with Chelsea," said Audax Italiano club president Valentin Cantergiani, "and the only detail now is the percentage of the fee we receive if Franco moves to another club." Di Santo, who has been one of the stand out performers in the Chilean league this year, has agreed a five year contract and will arrive in London to join up with his new team-mates in January.

Thats like us paying a £36 electricty bill . Said on't wireless this morning he's Britains richest witha £20 billion fortune.

There is clear bias, and it's not just the disciplinary area. After the defeat, most of the reporting concerned Liverpools no disgrace exit, fielding a second string side etc. No credit given to us.

Fucking hell that is gross. Why would two women want to.....??

Theres ones that get right in your head and you cant shake em off Cliffs 'Misteltoe and Whine' and that 'Send the cavalry' or whatever from that big nosed Crocodile Shoes Geordie cunt you keep hearing in shops. Happy Christmas War is Over

Yeah top song , moving video. Like the lyrics in Greg Lakes one as well. ''They said there'd be snow at Christmas, but instead it just kept on raining, a veil of tears for the virgin birth'' But the best for me Fairy Tale of New York.

Some juicy ties on offer. We could get Olympiakos, Roma, Lyon, Fenerbache or.....Celtic. Whilst the Turks or Greeks seem the easier opponents none will be easy, but apart from Lyon all should be fairly easily overcome.

Its a cliche, and it must be a getting older thing, but it feels much better to give than recieve. Only thing I'd really like is an angry Chelsea mob on a cold December evening with burning torches, parading Grants head on a pole down the Kings Road.

Crouch still trying to excuse his timmy tantrum by saying 'Its only foreign players that behave as Mikel did, you wouldnt get Terry or Lampard behaving like that'. So now hes trying the racist card, and by saying English Chelsea players wouldn't, trying to get more people on his side. What a snide middle class wanker.

Have we a source for this TCB ?

Yup would have made at least £500 with a tenner down. Crouch; "Mikel came in with his studs up and that was in the back of my mind," said Crouch. "Then I thought there was another foul in there and obviously I've lost my head. '' Bless. I didnt see Mikel stick his studs in the back of Crouchs mind.

Its important since Duff and Robben have left that we still have players that run at defenders. Press this morning excusing Liverpools exit with the excuse they fielded a 'second string side', and saying ''uncharacteristic of Crouch, though the England centre forward can only be provoked so far''. Looked pretty first team to me, and as for Crouch, was pissing myself, it was like a David Attenborough documentary on a pre menstrual stick insects. Will he get hauled before the FA for mouthing off at our fans as he went off ? Will he fuck.

I've noticed he's definitely better when on the left. Aside from you mentioning Obi and Kalou, Cole caused them all manner of problems as well. Essien was good, though was trying to take over from Johnny Wilkinson at times.

....was sure he was going to put that one away, and would have been goal of the season.

..and pisses in the sink, even when it's full of washing up, touches up your sister, shits the bed, and is a closet Spurs fan.

Agreed. Also Shevas reading of the game is second to none. Dont know why someone was slagging off Mikel, and saying Kalou was our worst player ever earlier on in the thread. Mikel is solid. With a lack of creatives Kalou and J Cole are invaluable at present.

No, he's there by default. Big difference. Only a foolish Chelsea supporter would back him 'because hes there'. The other difference is that he cant manage a thing on his own, he needed to take over a club and squad that was at it's pinnacle, and then have people either side of him who know what they're doing. How come we dont need a ''Director of Football'' any more ?? All he does is give meaningless press comments, wear poor imitation 'Mourinho' clothing, and stare intensely pretending he knows what hes doing. Kick the fucker out ASAP.

Chelsea's Ashley Cole's unlikely to face a FA charge over allegations he made a gesture towards Arsenal supporters at the weekend. The former Gunner was heavily jeered by home fans and was pictured after the final whistle apparently making a two-fingered salute towards Arsenal supporters. FA officials are expected to make a final announcement today. Independent
