Corleone

Youve got a subs bech mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We'll be on top for the first 20 mins and from then onwards whatever we have whether it 0-0 or 1-0 up we will defend. This seems to be the gameplan we have against most half decent teams we come up against

just checked, as ricardomeister says above Chelsea will hopefully be playing in a 2nd leg CL qtr final scheduled for 06th/7th April. We have no midweek fixture that week. Unles MON keeps on lobbying for some fixtures to be moved back to April. So i ll be hoping Chelsea get through against inter next week

Have chelsea got a champions league game in the week before?

Ashley young mom for me he gragged us back into it in the second half, still done see the point of downing and heskey and wish Carew would turn up more often

HESKEY CAREW DOWNING PLEASE **** OFF YOU'RE SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF THIS SEASON

seven years ago tonight............................

Not too disappointed with the performance as this is about as good as we can expect against a top 4 side at the moment. our only chance was going to be through scoring early on a holding on as this seems to always be the case at the moment. Agbonlahor was awesome today with the limited service he had to work with. and Milner was my MOM. However, on the downside, I think having Downing in the side has taken away a lot of the attacking thrust which previously was one of our main assets. Whenever he gets the ball he always seems to look for the safe option and ends up slowing down any momentum we may have, this coupled with his seeming unwillingness to tackle anyone leaves thinking he is proving costly both in an attacking and defensive sense. cant see why he is persisting with Ceuller at RB, and Heskey is just depressing to watch. At least we turned up today unlike in 2000 and with a bit of luck and a ref with bottle it may have been a different result.

it'l be interesting to see whether he starts with Carew or Heskey now on sunday

stoke and reading winning

that's right, take a player off who doesnt need a rest

oh well, at least we,ve got sidwell to save us

good tracking back from Downing then

Oh well, at least we've got Sidwell to look forward too

Not one of the untouchables so it would seem

At which point in a players career should he realise that wrapping your arm around the opponents neck from behind and then trying to wrap your foot around their body to reach the ball is going to be called a foul? And why does Heskey expect to get away with it? as i say, he's not very clever is he?

Heskey is not very clever is he?, why does he keep on giving away needless fould when the opposition are under pressure?

we may as well just give our throw ins to the opposition

cuellar beaten for pace

Short corner that worked !!!!

**** OFF HESKEY

no movement,no ideas

apart from Fulham, when was the last time we actually put in a convincing performance?

Thats Petrov's fault imo, for all his positives he does slow down the play more times than he should imo. he was playing for us 2 years ago and last season, we werent as innafective going forward then

What was previously our biggest strength (attacking with pace) appears to have been replaced with some sort of Ray Wilkins pedestrian crab type football!
