We probably couldn't cope with many more games, don't want Robin to get injured. :P

Why watch Chelsea play when I can just throw a ball into the dining room of Shady Palms retirement home and watch them all waddle around after it, before shitting themselves.

RvP has always had a temper on him. I remember he smacked some 'keeper in the face once. He also totally got sent off in like, one of his first games for us. He's a mentalist at heart.

Yea, well I haven't even been around for long enough to talk about RVP's early career, but everyone says, and Youtube shows a bit that RVP used to have a much worse temper to him, but he has calmed down a lot.

TBH, I'd prefer he does more of what he did against Newcastle, love that he got under Krul's skin, and it possibly helped us win the game.

We need more players with passion.

Good to hear Fabrice Muamba is showing signs of improvement and talking again.

IT slays me that on the back of it the Spurs squad have demanded Heart scans....like they ever exert enough on the pitch to induce a heart attack.

While I agree with you completely, I think regular heart scans for people playing at the top level of any sport would not be a bad idea.

Fuuuuuckk yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Just think, when we were about to face Tottenubs they had a chance to go THIRTEEN points ahead of us.

Fuck the lot of the useless pricks, hahahaha.

Also, lol @ Liverpool.

Unfortunately I think LFC's focus is not on 4th spot anymore, which I am disappointed with TBH. The owners want trophies I think as it will raise the profile for them in the US. So FA and Carling Cup it will have to be :(

How is Arsenals trophy cabinet these days Spork?



Arsenal must be saving a fortune on Brasso purchases :p

Greatest ever? I think so but a dominate world cup performance would put it beyond doubt.

Agreed, he is obviously a brilliant player in club football, but it will be interested to see how he goes without Barca to support him in a World Cup. Unfortunate that Argentina isn't in Europe, so we have to wait a couple of years more before we can judge that, as he didn't do much in the previous WC did he?

Yep, although I admit, Liverpool did well to win this one;

Oh I'd take the FA Cup, and the League and of course the CL. The Carling Cup though? Really? Well, I wouldn't have sneezed at it if we won it last year, but it's much ado about nothing right. The top seeded teams only have to play, what, 4 games?

Speaking of CL spots, piss poor from us today... that was a must win game. Spurs went for the draw, banking on their easier run in. Ramires shoulda had a pen but meh...that'll be the one that cost us now.

Oh well we'll just have to win it and have the last laugh and make 4th place mean shit. *cough*..yea.

Have to agree I'm afraid, no brainer tbh.

Good win for Chelsea, and Tottenscum through their FA cup draw V Bolton. Is that Kiwi Nelson who scored their first?

Yea Ryan Nelsen

Well pleased with the blues result, solid performance from us. Although it smacks a bit of a repeat of 09, manager sacked, dumped out of the CL by Barca in the Semi's, go on to win FA Cup against Everton....the only thing that excites me about that outcome is that we'll get to beat Spurs in the semi's to do it. :)

Gotta tip my hat to RDM, got them up for it, good team selection....I guess Kalou isn't done yet. Torres, what a workhorse he was again. Quality all game. Shit even Mikel was quality.

Good to see a Kiwi scoring for a (hate to say it) decent team (not of late).

And yea, great work from RDM, just goes to show how frame of mind can change the players for the better. Wouldn't have thought that it was all down to AVB for Chelsea being shit. Or maybe not all, but a lot of it was.

Mikel is quality..always was, always has been.

RDM went with Defence and he got the patient goal.

Torres should be a midfielder - no pressure to score and more chance to set up..because thats how hes playing!
