I don't think there will be any drop off at all. I don't know why people are so quick to dismiss Hughton because of three matches during the most chaotic times in this club's recent history. I mean goodness, he wasn't just thrown into the deep end, he was thrown into the Marianas Trench. However, this time around, the club are significantly more stable (not saying much, but still). I don't think this really changes much.

This on any of the American channels, Mike?

This HTT is really self important.

Bojinov didn't cost more than five or six pounds.

I hope Xisco is back in the fold now. We should at least see if he has the ability before shipping him off at a loss.

Goodbye Charlie. You had potential young man, to be the best French player to grace this club along with Laurent Robert. Instead, you're not even the best Congolese. Watch out Charlie, because quite soon, people will stop waiting for you, stop following you. You'll just be that stupid French kid that couldn't lay his head to rest.

JFK: I want you to play in the reserves tonight Xisco: qué? JFK (louder): I want you to play in the reserves tonight Xisco: qué? JFK (louder again): I want you to play in the reserves tonight Xisco: qué? JFK (now shouting): I want you to play in the bloody reserves tonight Xisco: qué? JFK (there's a vein throbbing in his forehead by now & his left eye is twitching): Reservos! You play in reserves! Tonight! Xisco: qué? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That is definitely the most likely course of events.

Shevhenko wasn't in the last three windows or whatever ridiculous parameter Parky set.

I'd say Pavlyuchenko and Crouch have been really pretty good in all fairness. Unfair as it may be, Eduardo at Arsenal hasn't been a great signing.

I reckon its partly his inability to manage a club side, and partly what fergie said awhile back. They're just old and don't care. Chelsea's problems started the day Roman bought Shevcenko and gave Ballack that huge contract. Look at the players they signed before: Cech, Essien, Droga, Mikel, Joe Cole, etc. Relatively young and hungry players, whose talent still had room to be developed. Couple that odd change in strategy with this seemingly care free and rather helpless manager, and you get this debacle. Honestly, quk, your team has incredible luck. United haven't been exceptional this year. It's just that no one else seems to want a PL title. Hopefully next year will be more interesting.

Scolari has just done a terrible job. He's tried to change the mentality tha Mourinho instilled and in the process taken all the determination out of the team. The old Chelsea, you knew they were never dead. However, these days you may as well change your station when they go one down.

Eboue is just a terrible player and an idiot. Remeber how fantastic he was during Arsenal's CL run? It's crazy how he has declined in the last few years. Especially considering he is in the Arsenal environment.

Jack Wilshere. 17 (born in '92 I think) year old winger. Debuted in the CL this year.

Considering what a good defender Tony Adams was, if he cannot inspire Sol Campbell and Distin to be freaking fantastic on the pitch then no-one can. No one would get Sol Campbell playing well. He's done. It was Harry who got Kanu, Sol, and James playing so well. All three of these players have suffered a drop in performance since Redknapp left.

I wonder if someone could count how many times 'Arry blinked in that clip. It's incredible.

Why anyone would want Stoke around again is just beyond me.

Rather not see Tottenham go down really. They are an ambitious entertaining team usually. Always worth watching. I'd miss them if they were relegated. I'd say Stoke (They don't play football, and whatever sport they are playing is incredibly bad to watch), West Brom (Just not good enough), and Blackburn (I have a minor dislike for Sam Allardyce and Benni Mccarthy..only slight )

I'm not so sure about Aguirre. I think he's underachieved with the vast amount of talent at Atletico and he was recently sacked for poor performance. Obvious improvement over Kinnear though. He also got banned by UEFA recently for calling Mathieu Valbeuna a "son of a whore", so I guess there would be continuity in the communication department.

ahh...I've just seen some Civelli's bare arse druing the Marseille match. Good win for l'OM. 1-0 Thanks to a Chamakh own goal.

.....And Diawara's off.

Marseille v Bdx? Yeah...he seems to want to injure Valbuena (Who is probaly a foot taller than).

Diawara is just scum. Definitely should have seen red!

I wouldn't say he's the second best player in the world, but he's probaly the best defender (If you can even call him that). He definitely stagnated during his last year or so at Sevilla, so it is pleasing to see such a talent back on his top level. Chelsea should have just pumped out the extra 9 million or so to get him instead of that useless Boswinga.

Huddlestone would be good if he ever pushed himself. He needs to work hard during his holiday. Needs to work out, needs to run. He needs to diet, improve his work ethic. However, I feel he's the kind of player that wil be perfectly conent to be a middling Premiership midfielder for the next ten years, making plenty of pounds. I don't think he has that desire to improve or edify himself in a football sense.

I think it's a question of Viduka and who? up top. Chances of the mercurial Joe Kinnear putting out Lovenkrands and Martins are slim in my opinion.
