If we can't win against this lot, at home, then we don't deserve to be playing in the Premier League next season, and we won't be.

Everyone has their key players. Man United struggled when their defence was plagued with injuey ans suspension not too long ago. Yup, lose Rooney, Ronaldo and Vidic and they'd struggle too.

Disasterous news, Iniesta ran the game for them against Chelsea, their biggest threat all night.

Never true in a million years. But I'd be delighted with Bent replacing Owen.

Tevez >>>>>>>> Berbatov. Cannot believe Ferguson is just going to let him go like that, never stops working. The complete opposite of the lazy bulgarian.

If I could marry Habib Beye, I surely would.

John Simpson, the BBC News foreign affairs reporter. Well played sir.

How is there not a Ryan Taylor smiley yet?

Wtf is with that half porn half lamb picture. I'm frightened.

Name me one person that thinks we'll win no doubt? ... Well? ... Anyone at all? Didn't think so. No one thinks we'll win no question, but it's very possible that we could pick up the 3 points. Plus we have to hope, it's the last real chance we have.

All we need is to survive this season, a new season with a sensible manager that knows the game (a.k.a. Shearer), and we can rebuild the right way. If we can beat Boro, I think we'll be safe. Hull are terrible and I can't see them getting another point this season.

Shit

YES!!!

Holy shit we might actually get out of this, a win against Boro and I think we're out on goal difference.

If we go down, at least he might finally get his chance.

Please explain these examples of Chelsea cheating. Maybe the red card can be considered a dive, but that is really on the ridiculously incompetent Norwegian man in the shiny black shirt. What else are you talking about? Drogba. All match. I've said it before. He needs to get some bans for the shit he does. Uefa need to go back through the tapes of that match and give him a 3 game ban for every shit dive he did. With any luck it'd stop him doing it.

LOVE Drogba's reaction, diving prick doesn't deserve to play football again the way he play acts. Should join the Royal Shakespeare Company ffs. Terrible refereeing, really awful, but so glad Barca went through, they deserve it umpteen times more than Chelsea. Cheered so loudly when Iniesta's goal went in that I scared the shit out of the cat, who is currently hiding on the windowsill.

Why the heck would they want to outlaw that kind of tackle? Great to see, takes a lot of skill to pull off without conceding a foul.

Yep, completley unfair to make him miss this when it's likely he won't get another chance at it. (Of course Man U will probably get there again next year, but still).

The more I see this, the more I like it.

Genuinely feel gutted for Fletcher. Hopefully the ref will ask for the card to be rescinded in his match report, as he doesn't deserve to miss the final when twats like Ronaldo will get to play in it.

Essentially completely fucking over Serie B. Nice one.

Brilliant article and I completely agree. We need him to completely gut this club, and rebuild it. Won't be easy or fast, but the rot is so deep that the only way is a complete reconstruction.

I suggested this in the match thread and essentially got told to shut and up and start feeling doomed and beyond help. You're entirely right, that point against Pompey has kept us within a hope of getting out of this. It's not over, despite what many would like to think.

Fucking hate Chelsea. Negative as fuck, did nothing but stifle Barca, never even really thought about launching an attack of their own. Can't wait til Chelsea attack at home, and Barca absolutely thrash them Munich style. Bit disappointed with Messi tonight, very good when going at players, but never really impacted the game as much as I would have liked him to. Thought Iniesta and Xavi were superb though.
