It was a brilliant piece of cheating though. If only we cheated more often...

There was a classic moment when the ball was coming to Huntington and in an attempt to be captain fantastic, Parker took out Huntington to get the ball causing both players to collapse.

Was a nice Man Utd-esque corner routine with Milner and Butt last night though.

how is it parker's fault now?! He's pretty much the one who broke from the wall creating the space for Drogba's shot.

Goal disallowed, dive for a free kick, move the ball forward a few paces to get an advantage, score, ref spoon feeding them decisions. Sounds about right. When will we buy our own referees?

Winning whilst playing shit at least. Still shit though.

Sibierski header, remind me of any other shots please? Rossi volley, Milner howler of a shot, 2 Sibierski headers and I definitely remember there being a few more.

Probably the most we've attacked at Stamford Bridge in years (combined). Good steely performance, typical scuffed shot falls to Drogba for tap in goal, but apart from that we were rock solid in defence. Great considering the team we had out there. Hopefully we'll take confidence from this performance and keep the good run going.

I'd love to see Palermo go out as I think they'll be a real threat in the latter stages.

Given Huntington Ramage Taylor Babayaro Milner Butt Dyer* N'Zogbia Sibierski* Martins * If they are fit. Please god let them be fit.

All have an A in their name?

"Erm....the best goal...for Newcastle? Yes maybe". Or something to that effect.

Wasn't it the first match that Carr wasn't in the team for?

Could we?

Won't be missed.

A couple of seasons ago he started to slide and was regressing in my opinion, but now he seems to have come back (after countless injuries) and looked better than ever.

4th in no time tbh.

To be honest, I think he's exactly what we need up front but it won't happen...at least not for stupid money that we can't really afford to spend anywhere other than defence.

No. I believe it's only six fixtures that we can legally get away with.

Eugh when is this whole "you score 4 we'll score 5" bollocks gonna stop getting repeated in the media. What we want is to win regardless of the scoreline. Give me 1-0's any day of the week.

Sven would get a hell of a lot more out of this team, and he's a good manager. He knows how to use tactics to win games, and when you think of the games, which are minimal, that he did lose for England, they weren't exactly against teams that we've been losing to recently. Some of the best teams in the world, christ sake. His record for England in competitive matches was... Played - 38 Won - 26 Drew - 9 Lost - 3 two of those were against Portugal and one against Brazil iirc. Lost to France and Northern Ireland as well.

Fuck off. What's wrong with what he said?
