Bah.

Apart from his comment about Cissé's goal, yeah McLeish's comments were fair enough.

He described Cissé's goal as "lucky".

McLeish is quite a bitter man (judging from his post-match interview with the BBC).

Hope his injury isn't too serious. We'll have to count on Shola as our third choice striker now (though as long as he's on the bench, then it's okay I guess). Hope he gets back in time for the Euros (if Trappatoni considers him of course).

Chelsea 1-0 ahead

Fair play to him today really. Decent at times but still needs to sort out his decision making.

:thup: Good news.

My FiveLive stream on iPlayer has cut off. Hmmm.

I'd imagine that Arsenal would be let into the CL (they'll use Liverpool as an example), how that impacts the Europa League spaces however is quite a puzzler. Hmmm.... If a club finishes outside the top 4 and wins the CL they go into the CL. The 4th placed team go into the Europa league in there place. If the team that wins the CL havent qualified for the Europa, then the team that qualified for the Europa in the lowest spot, misses out. Was clarified a page or two ago mate. Thanks anyway.

:lol: Nice one fella

Feels wrong doesn't it Very. Needs must....

Mentioned this in another thread: I'm really looking forward to seeing the Ba-Cissé partnership develop. Exciting times!

Another solid performance from him (Imagine if he had scored that effort from 35 yards )

Quite a position we're in atm. Don't think I can take this in quite yet. Crazy stuff

Excellent performance today. Worked really hard and made some great passes Having Perch alongside him gave him a bit more freedom in the middle too - gave him more reason to attack and be more of an influence.

Put Cissé in my team and I also made him captain

Hopefully it is only bruising and not a broken leg. In any case, get well soon Ryan! Decent contribution before he had to go off - he played a key role in Ba's goal.

Great to have him back Yeah, he did look a bit off the pace but with a run of games, he'll be fine.

A lot of important saves today. My MOTM tbh.

It's you or Man City really. Can't see him signing a new deal. He will only have 1 year left in the summer as well. Depends on what Arsenal do this season. If they finish below 4th and end up having a trophyless season, he's off in the summer imo.

Fantastic result. What a goal from Cissé. Brilliant take on the volley. Up to 5th and level on points with Chelsea. Whoa!

What a fantastic goal that was from the lad. Some canny movement from him too. (Though he was offside quite a few times, but I'm sure he'll learn from that). Really looking forward to seeing the Ba-Cissé partnership develop!
