Dear oh dear. 1-1.

Can't understand why people want ANOTHER manager prior to a possible takeover where new owners will likely be getting their own man in anyway. Yes he pisses on JFK but our club needs some form of stability - another change in personnel will just baffle the team further. I'd take him as a long term appointment with a new structure/ownership but certainly not as another stop-gap just because he's better than what we have.

This is my main concern. I think alot of half-decent managers could be relatively successful with a squad as talented as Chelsea's. That said, I quite like Grant and wouldn't be opposed to him as a manager. He seems a nice enough guy and got Chelsea playing with a bit more adventure than they did under Mourinho.

I think its Shola.

He's in the studio.

A goal for Owen and an assist for N'Zogbia surely means they have to start next game.

So would I. Wigan have played some good stuff this season, remember being very impressed at them against Chelsea.

Gutted but it could be worse I guess.

GET IN! Now let's go for the win!

Spurs pull one back..

Spurs 2 down

Nice.

Now come on ffs.

Still not out of this, have faith.

Come on lads.

So of the yanks linked with buying us, Mark Cuban is the only one who hasn't been ruled out. More likely a mystery buyer who has kept his cards close to his chest. Paul Allen hasn't ruled himself out either I don't think.

Yes.

Don't understand this point, it's what you do when your down by a goal near the end of a game. Even when it hasnt worked for the entire match? And continues to not work when you do it at every opportunity in the last 10 minutes? I rate Enrique but he pissed me off when he kept at it. Beye was overlapping though and was unfortunate to have Duff as his Wingman. Exactly, Enrique didnt have a Jonas in front of him to use so the long ball was the best option, rather than gving it to Butt or Cacapa inside him. Id see your point if something, in fact anything was coming off when he was playing the long ball. He was hitting it in the right areas and they were decent long balls but he should have been thinking 'hads on, this isnt working'...in spanish. The long ball gets the ball in and around those areas and there is more chance of us picking up a lucky bobble from the second ball. I am not a fan of long ball generally, but sometimes it is just needed. He would have probably had JK shouting him to launch it long as well. Agree, most teams would do the same in that sort of position.

Enrique played well I thought.

Pissed off. Deserved at least a draw, thought we played well in that second half and were by far the better team. Simply robbed by Cacapa's lunacy at the back. Ah well, a win against Wigan and we'll be back up there.

Come on Joey..

Murphy should have been off for that foul as well.

Completely against the run of play and totally undeserved. We need to pick ourselves back up.

For fuck's sake.

Great shot by Barton.
