Oakie Doke

Yep, I'm with you there. As ever, he worked extremely hard and very rarely lost the ball. Wins so many free-kicks as well. An integral part of the team.

has anyone else noticed he has as much pages as he does centimetre in height? My word, young man.

come on QPR!

he was absolutely brilliant today. Took his second goal superbly and what a through ball for Cisse's.

harsh on Stoke, it was a great comeback.

Great performance from everyone today. Really attractive football at times and the players look so determined. It's on!

Tiote is on a mission

Cabaye hattrick would be splendid.

Jesus, that control from HBA.

oh dear. So he's about 5'6 then.

Colo's 6 foot, that's taller than Vermaelen. Or is that with hair included?

Totally agree. His hair is his power! Personally I'd hate to see him cut it all off. I reckon it would grow back within an hour.

so just to clear it up, we want a Chelsea win, a draw, or an Arsenal win.

Shola's testimonial would be amazing. Against Sunderland of course, Sammy and Tomi start upfront with Shola on the bench (his hip will have finally exploded by this point). Sunderland 2-1 up until we are awarded a very soft penalty late on. Camera pans to Shola who smiles, gets up off the bench and comes on for Sammy to a standing ovation from the 15,000 present (most of whom are Ameobi descendants). Ba takes the penalty and misses.

I suppose the moral of the story is never have sex.

remember when Ched Evans was raped by Essien?

what the f*** are you on about you tool? He's gay for Mbiwa is what he's trying to say.

Igor Akinfeev Omar Esparza Taribo West Billy Jones Anthony Vanden Borre Freddy Adu Sherman Cárdenas Andrés Guardado Evandro Roncatto Cherno Samba Alessio Cerci Subs: Dionisis Chiotis, Zander Diamond, Isaac Okoronkwo, Mark Kerr, Eddie Johnson, Marco Verratti, Shota Arveladze best ever CM/FM XI. Dunno why.

I did? I think he's realistic in terms of price tag and willingness to come here. I don't think I ever said it was a done deal? Lies.

Yes, I can see how a miserable saturday afternoon in the arse end of Greater Manchester would be the perfect trial run for a balmy late summers evening in St.Etienne (or some other similar continetal locale). tbh we're more likely to end up in Donetsk, Tel Aviv or Makhachkala. A trip to Wigan sounds about right. Tel Aviv's awesome.

Carles Puyol's not over 6 foot.

Matty Pattison wasn't even an option though, was he?

Thank God for that.

Without being pedantic, wasn't it duff? Or did he do it twice? His on for duff in the last minute (or so) was mint. Yeah that's right actually, N'Zogbia got the first. It was the backheel I remember more than the actual goal.

that backheel to set N'zogbia up against Spurs always have a soft spot for Big Dukes.
