Brilliant brilliant game, newcastle have some real talent. The vultures will be swooping in january mind.

 

[Turamber]

As much as I hate Chelsea I do want Toon to lose to shut up all those bleating Geordies. You will start to fail, and it will be soon. Stop pretending you're a good team and fuck off back down the table thx.

They are a good team, should be beating Chelsea in this game really. But like most clubs outside of the top four they don't have the money to have a huge top class squad. So over a season you will get your wish and the same old clubs get the success. Zzzzzzz.

 

[Vladamir]

Kalou

 

[Wazzerphuk]

They're an average team high on confidence and morale. A good team is questionable. We'll see how they do over the whole season before calling them a good team from nowhere shall we?

[Ch3tan]

Newcastle dont deserve this, should have been playing against 10 men for 86 minutes

 

[Shagrat]

pft. 0-3 flatters Chelsea loads.

could have gone either way really, good performance from us again, unlucky with the woodwork

 

[Aoami]

Not got all the hype about sturridge when i've seen him before, but he's looked good today. He's been helped a lot by ryan taylor mind, but he's taken full advantage of it.

 

[Corran]

Referee wins the game for Chelsea. Wonder how much AVB paid him to save his job

 

[Vladamir]

Anelka and Alex have had transfer requests accepted, either AVB is being supported in the January market or he has a whole lotta confidence in the current squad

 

[caLLous]

Blackburn... are... winning...

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Early days yet.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Even more shocking is that we scored from a corner. That's TWICE this season! HOLY SHIT!

 

[Keitanz]

HAhaha as things stand Spurs are above Man Utd in the table....

Awesome

 

[soze]

I think I would like to see Alex at the Emirates i always though he was a solid defender. And it looks like Cahil will be naming his price now with 4 or 5 teams in the chase.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Blackburn... are... winning...

Early days yet.

...and normality has been restored.

I suspect it is clearing out players before getting his own choices in.

 

[caLLous]

What did Cahill do to get a straight red? It wasn't perchance pulling someone on a clear goal-scoring opportunity down was it?

 

[Aoami]

Yup. Apparently the rules state its a straight red if the foul is committed 50 yards out from goal with defenders back to cover, but a yellow if the foul is 20 yards out by the last man.

 

[caLLous]

...and normality has been restored.

It's only gone and happened again. :\

 

[soze]

5 Live said he dragged Parker down who was clean though but was near the halfway line so letter of the law red but a bit harsh.

 

[Corran]

apparently he was by the touch line, 50yrds from goal, multiple defenders in the middle of the pitch in covering position, and tripped the player. Straight red card = LOL.

Continues to show the joke of the leagues refereeing .... how can that be a red card and Luiz not! And they try to argue we got the best refs in the world.. hahaha

 

[soze]

Sounds like Arsenal should be 3 up a stone iron penalty turned down.

 

[caLLous]

I don't even know what stone iron is.

 

[Aoami]

hahahahaha

 

[soze]

I don't even know what stone iron is.

I am still laughing at the guy cocking it up i dunno who is doing the commentary to Arsenal Player today but he has reminded me of the bar man in the Boondock Saints

 

[Vladamir]

Looks like the Yak has been fed well today.

 

[Everz]

Luke Moore plays for Swansea?

 

[Aoami]

Opta Sports on Twitter: "179 - Arsenal ended a run of 179 corners without a goal from a corner in the Premier League when @T_Vermaelen05 scored. Wait."

nice stat!
