An early goal, please. I'll start believing in God again if we score in the first 5 mins. -
You are so optimistic, mate But I'm with you. I'm at a 5 but extremely nervous about tonight. Revision isn't happening today.

No Lampard in the team of the year? If these votes were cast in January, he's definitely in the team based purely on Chelsea's awesome start to the year. Fucking thick footballers.
-
Hahaha. What a fucking joke. The PFA Player of the YEAR is not meant to be a lifetime achievement award. This confirms what we already knew: footballers are really fucking thick.

So it's us, Hull and Sunderland for the final relegation spot. Here we go, boys, here we go.
-
Arsenal haven't lost a league match since November 22nd.
-
Valencia will get that last CL place. Hopefully that means they can keep Villa and Silva.
-
I thought Rich was talking to himself for a second there
-
Go on, get one more and Spurs will be join us as teams who have conceded 6 in one half at Old Trafford.
-
So Ronaldo's the top scorer in the league. Stunning, considering the start he had and the sustained poor form in the middle of the season.
-
Who? Youkilis?
-
Indeed.
-
Boro won't get another point. They've got home games against Man Utd and Villa, and away games against us, West Ham and Arsenal. One point against Villa, maybe, if Villa are done with their season but that's it.
-
Blackburn 41 Newcastle 37 Hull 37 ----- Sunderland 36 Middlesbrough 31 West Brom 28
-
Dave, how many fixtures can we post? Is it 4?
-
Get the fuck in.
-
I can't believe we still have hope.
-
Bentley should be number 1 on that list. I think Robinson and Berbatov being on it is also very harsh; especially Berbatov, who has scored quite a few important goals for Man Utd.

Exactly. I'd rather play in the CL because the measure of any team is how it performs in the league. If we're good in the league, we'd qualify for the CL. There's no other way. You can't fluke your way into the CL, but you can definitely fluke your way into winning a cup like the FA Cup or the League Cup. Playing in the CL also enhances your chances of winning other, more meaningful trophies and enables you to compete in the long-run for every trophy. Winning an FA Cup will be magical for that one day, and maybe the magic will last until we're inevitably knocked out by a better team in the next season, but consistently playing in the CL will mean so much more for the club's long-term chances. The goal, for any club, has to be consistently challenging for trophies and performing well in the league. That's why I'd easily and without doubt forgo winning the FA Cup if it meant that we'd get to play in the CL.

I'd pick playing in the Champions League over winning the FA Cup any day of the week.

We don't need him. Look how many touches that Viduka had near or Spurs' penalty box in only 30 minutes of playing, and look at how many chances Oba had during that similar short amount of time. They're strikers who have a use, they have a skill (technique for Viduka, pace for Oba) which means that not everything has to be put on a plate for them. I've been banging on about Owen for ages and how he just isn't the same player he was and is someone that we cannot afford to accommodate in our team. It's because we've had to accommodate him for so long that no manager's done what's best for the club and drop this mofo to the bench.

Coming back from what injury? It's been over a month and 5 straight games that he's started and he's looked equally shite in all those games. He's been living on his reputation for ages but everyone associated with the club seems afraid to tell it like it is, which is quite baffling since he'll be leaving the club in a couple of months. Relegation or not, I'll be glad to see the back of him.
