Muamba, Larsson, maybe Barnes and Kitson.

Only seen the score, not too surprised. How did we play - seems we fielded a bit of a dodgy team?

Christ almighty, Eustace off. How was that a red card?

They've always had s*** support due to a lot of people around here supporting London teams. Or Newcastle.

With Viduka out I also think Keegan will go with 4-4-2 for Everton; I don't however think it will give us a indercation regards his formation plans for next season though. Most likely Alan Smith, Damien Duff and N'Zogbia will get there starts. Harper Beye Taylor Faye Enrique Geremi Smith Duff N'Zogbia Owen Martins Subs: Carrol, Lua Lua, Butt Caçapa, Forster Can't see Butt being on the bench tbh.

He's 23 and comes from Benin

I think they should make the Champions' League what it says on the tin - only Europe's league champs should be entered into your standard cup format as you suggested imo. It just seems stupid to have teams like Arsenal finishing 4th then reaching the final of the so-called cup of champions. Would even out the playing field more financially too. i think that'd be f****** retarded myself, and you'd have to invite all the leagues in europe, so teams in macedonia get places in the cl ahead of the manu's and arsenals. it'd turn into the club world championship, where there's 1-2 teams (in this case 4-5) that can win it, and the rest all get thrased 8-0. same goes for the 5 points on that list the thread starter made on page 1. If the champs of Macedonia won their league and Man Utd didn't then so be it, at least in this case it does the name of the competition some bloody justice. It's a format that's worked in the past and so as it reduces the amount of income the top 4 receive, it also benefits the competitiveness of the Premiership.

Top half would do me nicely.

Great first half performance, Cheslea just too good for us in the second. Smith and Duff were awful tbh, MUST get rid of in the summer. Zog looked great when he came on I thought, really hope there's a place for him in the team next season. Taylor and Martins were great, Barton, Faye, Beye and Butt were solid as always. Not too dissatisfied with the result, we gave them a hell of a good game for 45 minutes and this IS Chelsea we just played tbh.

Barton's got a knock, might not start the second half according to SS. Good performance so far - our passing play at times really is a joy to behold and besides that Ballack opening we've been sturdy at the back as well. I'd say everyone with the perhaps harsh exception of Viduka has been brilliant, just hope we can keep it up.

Yes - Zog on the bench! Come on Toon

N'Zogbia 14 on the home shirt.

Stop that. Gallas being one I can think of, who else has Wenger signed from a club in this country? EDIT : Walcott as well Out of their current squad? Yes & no, i suppose. There can't be that many, certainly recently. Going back a fair few years, Wright & Jeffers stand out as two reasons why he doesn't do it much Campbell's the only other one I can think of.

Maybe I'm being stupid, but isn't that Man Utd's players (well, numbers) on the left? 1. Van der Sar 5. Rio 15. Vidic 3. Evra 22. O'Shea? 8. Anderson? 16. Carrick 7. Ronaldo 11. Giggs 10. Rooney 32. Tevez Ferguson out tbh Must be, would be Emre at centre back otherwise

I think £12 million's not a bad price in today's market, he's English, young and imo a good footballer. A more mobile, pacier version of Viduka would do wonders for our attack.

Bent, Martins and Owen in a front 3 would scare defences pure shitless.

That shirt is snazzy as anything.

2-0 now. 3 And THAT is why we should sign Valencia tbh Ah, it's still just 2-0. Sky Sports said they'd scored a 3rd? Nah it's still 2, I just accidently quoted your post instead of the 2-0 one.

It's quite a nice 3rd kit mind

how is he doing in todays match? After all. he cant be tested any better in Rangers than today. hes a bloody one man back 5 Been everywhere! Quality performance! Seconded, he's been truly immense.

19 years old, 6'3, good goal scoring record at U21 level. Worth a punt?
