good point, Sib wasnt very good as an offensive player today. But he annoyed the hell out of Terry and kept him quiet on theire freekicks and corners. Good job in defense, but would've liked to see more in attack also.

Bramble made a few good challenges but he made two or three mistakes too. Taylor was impressive in any way today and same was emre and milner! yeah, but it was bramble that kept drogba quiet for the most of the game, infact all of it. Taylor had an immense game to. both did very good today. Taylor's growing game for game, and he will be a key player for us in years to come. lets hope they dont give out contracts on one good performance:D (he shouldnt get one, and neither should goochi.)

i tought bramble and nicky butt stood out as todays best. whole team where very good, but i missed some movement from martins. Also i think Carroll was a bright spark who should start a game soon.

1.Sir Les. 2.Gary Speed 3.L. Robert

1. not even mourinho would whine so much about it, the way freddie whined over owen. 2. chelsea would still be title contenders with or without drogba. no way he has bagged so many crucial firstclass goals, that no other in chelseas squad, atleast theire strikers, couldnt have done this season.

the way i see thing at this moment, i think its quite beneficial for the club to have atleast one season to sort things out. Getting Injury problems fixed. Focusing on playing Their own game again, actually get a gameplan, wich we might have lacked this year. And rather try to force a spot into europe next year with the circumstances hopefully abit more beneficial.

norway 2 brazil 1 WC 98. best game ever.

Ham kam, norway! and Newcastle!

boy how wrong were you.. greatest match of the year.(being non-nufc that is, still best prolly then to)

thats not an excuse, rather an remark about things arent like they should be, and that he will look into it after the season.

Shearer. Ferdinand. Speed. All Legends.

got bellamys knots in his knee while making a good save in yesterdays game against wales.

fabregas, his passing and vision to the game is bound to be even better, and with our pacey attack he would be immense in central. i think fabregas will be immense the next seasons, shame he is on arsenals XI :\

Blimey, that was quick, Woodgate misses todays game with a HAMSTRING injury. No suprise there then! haha, BIG surprise:P

if goochi proves to be the real deal, i think him and taylor should be first choice no matter what. and i think its only a matter of games before woody gets another injury:\

didnt see this treadh coming to be honest

haha, i think that was a pretty decent read infact. Cant help but feel that they ment it all ironic, and expects a defeat. anyway, we'll give em that for sure:) 3-0, Martins,Le Sib and Duff!

you see alot of interviews with players after match, see summarys and or goals from games back to 2000 i belive.. radio ofcourse is nice.. good way to keep track of the games when no way of watching it is available..:=)

seems viduka gives other defenders a fair amount of trouble with his immense strenght. with martins getting a bit clever with his running, and especially dyer and milner running theire socks of Viduka could prove an excellent buy.. but imo he needs good movement around him... and we can offer that..

cant buy anyone with an empty wallet...

no

Remember at this stage lastyear, where Graeme Souness cursed lady luck time after time, we have have had some of the same, luck wise this year. ALOT of injured players, way worse than anything souness had. Still i cant remember seeing roeder complaining about bad luck, and instead he has shown himself very professional, fighting very hard to get results.. to me that seems like someone who can turn things around.

merry christmas, though, it wont be THAT good, with us beating your beloved Tottenham:)

i think he looks like a big prospect for the future, and the fact that he plays quite well out of position makes him quite valuable to our squad as it is at the moment. Can only become better.

and i hope its okey for a toon supporter to not be part of any known or to-be-known religion!
