Sitting in 3rd and behind Spurs at that is just painfully annoying!

[Special Juan 27,439]

And Fulham next away, Fulham's cup final I should say.

Draw written all over it.

West Ham at home actually. The Fulham game has been postponed due to our FA Cup involvement this coming weekend.

One point regarding the AVB situation, it's funny how we all only started to talk about him (again) after they move ahead of us in the table. When we were 4-5 points clear of them before this, nobody said a thing. Right now, what AVB is doing at Spurs is hardly anything different from what Harry Redknapp did there last season and they are only 1 point better off this season compared to last season after 28 league games. Before we go on about how AVB is like some world class manager all of a sudden, best to only judge him in say 2-3 seasons time to see if he's really the real deal. There's just too much wankfest over him at the moment.

Anyone who labels AVB world class wants their head testing, he hasn't proved a thing yet.

AVB has helped to get Bale going. Spurs without Bale would be in 5-6 place.

Therefore, to applaud AVB for job well done is too early.

The only difference between AvB's team and Harry's team are the new players that have added a bit more steel in defence and a bit more bite in midfield.

The likes of Dembele, Vertonghen & Lloris have just made their team that little bit stronger...and unlike Chelsea, AvB has been able to add the likes of Sigurdsson, Holtby as further depth in midfield..

Yes but who's to say that had Harry stayed, they wouldn't have gotten those players in. And players like Vertonghen were already linked to the club during Redknapp's reign.

When one looks at Spurs´ schedule & knowing their previous years´ slump at the end of their seasons, I believe Spurs will falter.

If Chelsea wins 8 games out of remaining 10, we should finished in top four places.

[Special Juan 27,439]

If Harry had still been in charge you would of seen signings such as his son, Joe Cole and Shola Ameobi.

[mybodyisready 155]

Sign that villas-boas guy, he's young, talented and works like a mad man.

Oh wait.........

inb4 someone says something about the champions league etc

[Hutcho 8,443]

Come on Villa.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Fuck sake... Clark slips. City gifted a goal.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

City 1 up. Ciaran Clarke loses posession and it proves costly after Dzeko's unselfish assist to Tevez who scores.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Come on Villa.

:lol2:

[Ollie 4,400]

This game's dead. That first goal so went to the wrong team, it will end up comfortable now.
