I think we're entitled to bloody slate them if we feel like it. 1-1 against Southend? FFS its just not good enough. We're 2nd in the table off the back of playing no-one of any consequence so far this season. When we had the chances to put daylight between us and the dippers we blew it every bloody time. Any big game we've had, we've taken sod all from and we made the CL by the skin of our bloody teeth. Scolari's kidding himself if he thinks we'll win anything this season. Does having a go at Chelsea mean the same thing as 'giving up on them'? If it did, I might have saved myself a lot of bloody grief over the years. They really know how to piss me off big time.

I'm sick to death of these shit results. WTF is going on at Chelsea? Fucking Southend??? Just a total fucking embarrassment. We cant buy a goal and we're not gonna spend in the transfer window? I hope his fucking yacht gets woodworm!

For Fuck Sake, when are we gonna get a fucking grip in a game?? Fucking losers

Cant blame him for taking the chance of regular football and a nice pay rise. We've got ourselves the best possible deal we could for a squad player so we cant really complain.

Wolves wont be happy, they really like Mancienne there. I think its a good move for us to get him back, its looking more likely Alex will go and the way JT and Carvalho's fitness have been this season, there's no point risking being without cover. Besides, its about time we started using some of our younger players instead of farming them out all the time.

Looks as if you can take Bridge out of there. Is Mineiro still around then?

Thats not really good enough though. There's a long way to go yet and if theyre all knackered already we've got no hope.

Happy New Year all. Feel bloody rough today. Cant be arsed with resolutions, only lasted three weeks last time.

Spot on. Whether its a hangover from Moscow or just his fitness, JT hasnt been right this season.

This sort of prediction is just embarrassing. He's got absolutely nothing to base his prediction on, our form is hardly title winning, Scolari's untested in the PL and if even a bit of the rumours we're hearing are true, then we're hardly a 'team' right now either. Besides, Deco's possibly the last player who should be talking about what we will or wont do.

Boo bloody hoo. The private jet to get him back home wasn't supportive enough? Spoilt brat.

If this is true, then it serves the stroppy little fucker right.

Same shit, different season. WTF was Scolari thinking leaving Ballack on the bench and playing the blue-eyed boy? He's fucking useless. And as for taking Cole off for Kalou, that was just a joke. Scolari's substitutions need some serious questioning. Deco was fucking shite and still he wont take him off. Fuck all for Chelsea again this season.

fucking stupid links

Fulham's form isnt bad this season. I cant see any reason why we should expect to beat them.

I reckon it'll be about as beneficial as the last one.

According to Wilkins it was meant to be a 4-3-3 with Cole and Anelka either side of Didier. No wonder Anelka looked a bit all over the place at times, I not convinced Scolari had actually told any of them what the formation was.

Totally got me on that one. Sounded like it was meant to be 4-4-2 but didnt actually look like it.

No point appealing. Dowd might have been a bit quick off the mark with ared, but its still a red he was perfectly entitled to give. Some refs might not have seen it as a red but to be honest, Terry gets away with this sort of challenge more often than not, so we cant really complain.

Didn't like the Delle Alpi anyway, not that the Olimpico is any better. In fact, Turin's just bloody horrible, lol.

Chelsea made a rod for their own back by giving the senior players ridiculous amounts of money in the first place and now anyone they want to keep will have to be offered similar amounts because you can bet your arse if Chelsea didnt offer Mikel a big enough contract then another club certainly would. Good move on Chelsea's part making sure they hang on to a player like Mikel.

Sounds a bit paranoid maybe, but I really think there was an agenda for the draw this season. Uefa seem to have done very nicely out of it anyway.

Was too busy at work to see the draw and when I got a text, my first thought was its totally fixed. I know there's only good sides in it and the way they set the draw up, these sort of draws are always a possibility, but its just iffy. Inter v United - Mourinho v Fergie again, what a great publicity spinner that is. Juve v Chelsea - Old boss v New boss, another shitload of publicity. Not forgetting these two draws definitely have the potential of seeing a couple of English sides go out. Mourinho always knew how to play Fergie's sides and with us away to Juve in the second leg, I can honestly see us going out at this stage. Although if I'm honest, I can't see anything other than a United win. I know the dippers have got Real but they're far from a form side, so the scousers should spawn it and Arsenal's draw against Roma looks easy enough for them on paper (although I've got a feeling they'll go out as well). Either way, Uefa are happy though - shitloads of publicity and a decent chance to get rid of at least a couple of PL sides in the next round.

Have to agree with that Elliot. As it stands now, with all the direct quotes from him, it looks as if he's going. I suppose we shouldve guessed he didnt really fancy the job when he wanted to turn around at the airport. If he's ready to go so soon, without any fight for a place at all, then fuck him, we dont need him. Mind you, whats with all this about Roman's involvement? Why doesnt the bloke just whack a donkey jacket on and get his arse on the touchline every week ffs?

Drogba?
