Fun game this. Not much football but nice to see players get stuck in there from time to time.

This was Roederesque with his hand being forced over the selections.

Be interesting to see if Smith and Butt walk straight back in... which they probably will.

Shame Carroll didn't get his third and shame about the goal against, but that's if we're being very picky.

Fantastic result!

This is what happens when he have wingers. We actually look good.

Better enjoy it while we can!!  :frantic:

Come on Carroll make it happen for 5!

Let's get some Loven! Right now! Oh yeah! In sweet harmony!

Yeah that would be dodgeball.

Could have been 4!

Although this was pretty unexpected... it's a little typical of our season. Sudden bursts of goals to get us going again, a bit like the Ipswich game.

aye

.........................last week

that is shocking

has chopra ever scored at SJP?

Commentator just mentioned that actually. No.

Best get the goals in now before the half time morphine injections.

unreal

Delighted for Carroll

So pub brawling is fine, but sleeping with a french model is frowned upon. 

Again, not about morality.

Gerrard,hope it makes him pull his finger out.

Seconded.

This isn't about taking a morale high ground though, the issue's more about how it would affect his role as a leader regarding trust from other players.

Wonder if Terry might decide not to play under Capello again...

Fabio knows http://www.otf2.com/forums/images/smilies/xnod.gif

Indeed. Any resolution was good news. I trust Capello to make the best decision either way.

The fact he's lost the captaincy is the rather more amusing outcome though

On SSN now: Terry has lost the England armband.

... apparently they called Bridge to tell him to put SSN on because it's true!

I remember that day. Was such a relief after the build up of the months before.

He was winding every one up with his post match interviews, hardly ever spoke about the actual games, just how his "family is important to him" and how he has to "look after himself" continuously dropping hints that he would never resign.

Still a good guy deep down (although it became harder and harder to notice that). Just an utterly terrible manager.

No

Gutted for him.

New Italy kits?

Iniesta goal at Chelsea sparks Barca baby boom

 

MADRID - The week when Barcelona thrashed Real Madrid and sealed their place in the Champions League final has prompted a surge in births in the Catalan capital of almost 50 percent, according to a survey by a local radio station.

 

Nine months since Barca's 6-2 home win over their arch- rivals and Andres Iniesta's stunning late strike which took them through to the final at the expense of Chelsea, maternity hospitals are struggling to cope with demand for beds.

 

A survey by COMRadio showed that births this week and those expected next week are 45 percent higher than the average.

 

"When we notice some sort of surge we look for the reason and it's evident that the cause of the increase this week is the euphoria of Barca fans thanks to the huge win and Iniesta's goal," El Mundo newspaper quoted Mercedes Rodriguez of the city's Quiron Clinic as saying.

 

The babies are popularly known in Barcelona as "the Iniesta generation."

"Argentina goal"

nuff said!

Lennon, Walcott and SWP are interchangeable. They all seem to be able to have about one decent game in 3. So we just have to hope to get lucky and pick the right one for each game.

Beckham already outstayed his welcome as captain as it is. He's not even sure to be in the squad let alone becoming an automatic starter again.
