Love it, cheap free kick and then scores the own goal.

Beautiful from Pastoré!

 

[Embattle]

Told you the wheels were falling off our wagon.

 

[Himse]

Amazing goal by Pastore, but i'm gutted, Chelsea were really poor.

 

[Billargh]

At least one of our teams can beat the dirty gooners! The U21 team beat them last week too.

Heh, they've edited the article. It said it was a ban on buying and selling this morning.

I beg your pardon? I do not support Spurs, have never claimed to and always said I am a neutral. Is saying the obvious about the greatest under achievers in the prem somehow supporting Spurs? I support my local team which happens to be Northamtpon, there isn't a great deal I can do about that and I imagine I see them far more often than people who claim to support premiership sides.

Northampton, fyi are 2nd bottom in the league...I could pick a premiership side, maybe one that happens to be winning like 90% of premier league fans but what would be the point? And before you say it, it is unlikely you had a great uncle twice removed that had a <insert premier league side> scarf so have supported them man and boy, its bollocks, you support them because you saw them winning on match of the day once.

Lies, When I was "picking" my team it was a rare occurance to see Liverpool win on MOTD I didn't rally pick them, my dad's from Liverpool and when I started playing football he dressed me and my brother up in full Liverpool kits. My brotehr rebelled and chose Arsenal. I didn't care so stuck with Liverpool. 22 years later and my glory hunting may pay off!!

Maureen seems to be getting a bit agitated, the petulant cunt.

Did he leave the pitch two minutes from the end without shaking Blanc's hand like he does in the Prem?

There are pictures of me between 5 - 10 wearing Spuds, Liverpool, Man U and Everton Shirts. I think the shirt I got depended on what shirt was cheapest at the Pub. But I never had a Arsenal shirt as my old man is a Spud. I watched plenty of Enfield games with my old man but he never had the money for us to go to Shite Heart Lane. So when my Uncle took me to Highbury (when it was still standing) and I watched Arsenal lose 0-2 to Liverpool I was hooked. But Enfield > Spuds were my local clubs.

The only football shirt I ever wore as a kid other than a United shirt was this:

Which given I'm not actually Welsh, is a bit odd.

 

[Raven]

The women's Wales shirt?

 

[DaGaffer]

The women's Wales shirt?

Err, no. It was the 70s, skintight shirts were a thing. Very Saturday Night Fever.

Was waiting for the elbow but it never happened, is it a what happened next clip?

 

[soze]

I think it is the fact he managed to run the ball out of play with out being tackled or even being under that much pressure.

 

[caLLous]

Yep, Fellaini was in full-on bishop mode.

 

[Billargh]

I can't remember what my first kit was, it was either:

Spoiler

or this but short sleeved.

I also has Tottenhams 1997 green goalkeeper jersey, couple of quid from a charity shop I do believe, I just wanted one to dive out in while playing footie

He did leave just after Pastore's goal but shook Blanc's hand before he went. I think he's just getting fed up of the useless sack of shit we bought off the Scousers wandering around like he'd rather be out shopping with the missus. Thankfully, going by Jose's comments in the press conference (and after Palace), Nando is off in summer.

I really do hope Eto'o is back for the next leg, we are fucked otherwise. I still think this season has been an improvement on the previous, actually challenging for the title and looking on 3rd as a poor result, rather than lucking into 3rd under AVB and FSW, just a bit frustrating the wheels are coming off at this stage - although it does seem Jose was expecting this to happen to his little horse. A couple of decent signings however, and we'll be pretty formidable.

 

[Raven]

You dont need to worry about sideshow bob going to barca either

 

[gohan]

Yeah cos that's what Chelsea lack. Quality....
Your second 11 should push for top 4! Bad decisions and too many ego's is Chelsea's problem. Sturrige shiped off and Lukaku on loan again despite them being the best strikers you've had recently because they are small names compared to the strikers that get paid so much that they can't be arsed and rest on their laurels. JT has had his best season in ages because he got dropped last season and now feels he needs to prove a point. Still makes me LOL that you managed to break Torres tho give him back on a free, We'll fix him!

 

[Billargh]

The little horse thing is such utter nonsense, having the second best squad that is only bettered by Man City and he's going on like he's managing a mid table team. Tedious prick does my bloody head in.

Guess you're gonna need a new striker once Suarez heads on out.

The fact that he had Arsenal as a mighty stallion was lol, they have about the same squad as Liverpool, about 5-6 truely class players about another 5-6 decent players then a load of youth and sqaud players.

 

[gohan]

Why would he leave? Just signed a 5 year deal and we have CL pretty naield on next year, and he's actually in a title race... Where would he go? Spain maybe but unless he's unsettled what's the point?

 

[Bodhi]

Torres was broken when we signed him to be fair, thanks to FSW and his insistence on playing him when he was crocked. Unfortunately the month before we signed him he had his one good game of that season and scored 2 against us.....

 

[Scouse]

He'll be staying in the summer.

Torres started to look a player again under Benitez. Not what he was, but better than he is now. I think that the way Maureen likes to play doesn't suit Torres' natural game, and rather than adjust his (shit boring) tactics he wants all the players to adjust to him.

He's putting square pegs in round holes. But chelski will sell/splurge in the summer and buy a load of square pegs. Things'll be good again.

I'm sorry, how long did it take him to score a goal in the league under Rafa? Because for whatever reason around 6 months seems to be ringing a bell. Sure he looked good against the dross we played in the Europa League, but in the Premier League he was just as woeful as he has been this season.
