Mr.consistent Beye. Been solid from day one

Toni is unstoppable these days!

Looks like Grant has pulled a Benitez: "Q: A deserved win Avram? Grant: 'Yes.' Q: What particularly pleased you about the performance? Grant: 'I'm pleased.' Q: What in particular pleased you? Grant: (after an eight second delay): 'I don't know.' Q: Is it a relief to win here? Grant: 'Yes.' Q: You seem lost for words by the performance. Are you more satisfied with the performance or the victory? Grant: 'Both.' Q: You seem distracted. Do you have a problem? Grant: 'No problem.' Q: Is there an issue? Grant: 'No. I'm ok. I have nothing to say.' Q: Do you have a message for the Chelsea fans? Grant : 'You represent the Chelsea fans?' Q: They must believe you are still in the title race, do you have a message for them? Grant: 'No message.' Q: Does this result mean you are back in it now? Grant: 'I don't know.' Q: How many steps have you climbed to undertake this press conference? Grant: 'I don't know.' Q: You seem less voluble than usual. Is it because of Sky TV moving the game to a Thursday? Grant: 'Maybe it's because of you. I don't know. I am ok.' Q: You are saying that you don't know if you are still in the title race? Grant: 'No.' Q: Is it easier to say nothing Avram? Grant: 'I don't know what to answer. It is a good question. I don't know what to answer.' Q: Is this because of Sky? Grant: 'No. Sky is ok. I enjoy watching them.' Q: Is it a protest against newspapers? Grant: 'No. Why?' Q: Why else would you come in and refuse to answer our questions? Grant: 'I answer every question.' Q: You are two points behind Manchester United and you don't know if you are still in the title race? Grant: 'No.' Q: Have you told the players that you don't know if you are back in the title race? Grant: 'What I tell the players is something else. You want me to tell you what I say to the players?' Q: We just want you to answer the question, really. Are you in the title race? Grant: 'I don't know.' Q: Would you not like to gain some positive publicity for the result rather than this bizarre silence? Grant: 'I'm sorry. You can write whatever you want and I can answer what I want.' Q: Do you feel under pressure to deliver a trophy. Is that the reason for the monosyllabic answers? Grant: 'No.' Q: Are you upset? Do you feel you have been misrepresented? Grant: 'Maybe I have said because it is a bad season.' Q: Did Michael Essien faint? Grant: 'He had some problems, but he is ok.' Q: Michael Ballack? Grant: 'Injured.' Q: What's his problem? Grant: 'Ask the doctor.' Q: He's not here Avram. Grant: 'Well call him then.' Q: Have you ever played the yes/no game Avram? Chelsea press officer: 'This is going nowhere. Let's end it.' " http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=560400&in_page_id=1779

No Dyer either? (although he gets a small mention). 7m, three games...at least Bellamy has managed to play over ten.

Agree 100%

Pattison, Babayaro, Carr

Oh...... some one voted Bobby

but Souness bought Boumsong, Luque and Babayaro!

0-1 Jones/Chopra 1-1 Owen 2-1 Barton toon hero

Arsenal won 1 out of their last 8 league games. =/

Can't believe that Ameobi has been at this club since 2000! Surely he was forced to pay 90% of his wages to Shepherd in some money laundering scheme.

Sky's ratings are always bullshit.,and very inconsistent sometimes a goalkeeper with "nothing to do" gets 7 and on a other day he gets a 5. Geremi was given 6 in rating after the Fulham match, even though he had 2 assists that day. Seen the Derby ratings? Ridiculous how high they score. http://www.skysports.com/football/user_ratings/0,19768,11065_2849250,00.html

Really pleased for Harper. Finally getting a good run in the team and is playing very well, made some good rushes-out and one great save from a deflection.

Our savior!

Viduka -> <- Duff 4-4-2 Yes?

Good save Harper, off Enrique's heel

Crouch assist

Not the first one to make that mistake Journalist: "So Shola, do you have a nickname at the club?" Ameobi: "Not really no." "What do the lads call you?" "Shola." "What does Bobby Robson call you?" "Carl Cort."

Was reading the mackems "realistic summer transfer" thread the other day and was thinking what a crazy bunch of delusional idiots they were, saying that Keane should go for the likes of Bentley or Martins. Then I come here and see us seriously talking about Henry, Deco and Ronaldinho.

“This season is just about trying to win our remaining games,” he said. “I played in the Champions League for Inter and I believe in the future I can play in the Champions League for Newcastle.’’

They'll be tired after their mid-week match, 1-3 to us (Owen,Martins,Viduka )

Wes Brown Flamini Mellberg (signed pre contract with Juventus) Carr Ramage Hary Kewell I think

Now I've seen everything, Ronaldo falls to the ground and immediately stands up and runs back!
