Howay

I'm fucking creased here "we're never in yewrup we need the bus to pennywell".

We all know Scott Parker will win, surprised he missed out on the Ball D'or last year.

Once they knew they weren't going to be able to slalom their way through a crowded box they looked short of ideas, as like you say anytime the ball went high into the box the 6' + Chelsea lot were massive favorites everytime over Barca's 5' 7" brigade. Chelsea knew it and challenged them to try and beat them physically in the box, watching it by about the 70th min onwards (may have been earlier) I never felt like Barca would get the goal especially as like you say they've got nothing to switch it up which was proven when Guardiola brought on a defensive midfielder to try and give them some physicality.

Aye, I said in another thread they need a bloke that'll have a couple of cracks from range. They spent most the game last night camped out on the edge of the opponent area trying to walk it in, like you've said an Ibrahimovic type to give them that heading presence in the box would be a plus for them as they really lacked a powerful physical player last night as Chelsea bullied them. To be fair they really miss Villa but I do agree teams are starting to wise up to them, similar to Arsenal shortly after that 'invincible' season.

I think they'd struggle if they tried similar tactics against Madrid or Bayern, with the way Robben and Ronaldo shoot from range the latter especially will hammer them with shots from outside the box. Whereas Barca faffed on trying to pass their way into the box.

Aye seriously man, if England played France in the final of Euro 2012 and Ben Arfa + Cabaye were playing I'd be hoping they had absoloute stinkers and England won comfortably. Wouldn't want them to miss it through injury or owt like that but I'd always support England.

They've not done qualification for it yet though have they? We can all hold onto the hope Senegal don't qualify for the tournament if they haven't already.

The 'deadwood' and players that were here for their wages were jumping ship, whereas if we stayed up not as many would have ran off. It also had the bonus of giving players who were bedding in the confidence of winning week in week out i.e. Enrique and Colocinni and they were far better players and brimming with confidence by the time we got promoted.

That Ganso lad too probably, well worth going to tbh.

Agreed CT, we're the form side in the league and we're comfortably brushing teams aside unless we falter in the Wigan game I'm quietly confident of us getting a result against Chelsea.

I had a quick look over today when I was bored, they're fucking mental! Some were saying that it's good if we finish 4th as we'll not be able to buy anyone as we're not certain for CL football due to having to play in the qualifier so will suffer in the league and then they can overtake us errm except we're guaranteed Europa league football anyway even if we lost in the CL qualifier and we've managed to attract players like Cabaye, Ba, Santon etc after finishing in the bottom half of the Premiership so who knows who we could bring in if we came 4th. There was another lad who announced how hilarious it's going to be when we sell these players, then went on to list 8 of our starting 11 when has he EVER seen a team sell 8 of their starting 11? short of a Leeds situation. I'm staggered by them tbh they've screamed how deluded we are all season then say things like If only O'Neill had started the season as manager they'd be where we are, hold on have they missed that they have 2 wins in their past 11 and haven't scored in 5 straight games under the mighty O'Neill. I understand the ones trying to pass our season off as a fluke etc it's their way of coping I get it but saying stuff like we'll plummet like a rock and they'll come top 6 next season is mental.

Scott Parker He must have dirt on everyone to do with these awards, player of the year last year in a relegated team and now in team of the year despite contributing fuck all. His tackling isn't particularly great and he doesn't pass the ball forwards only sideways or backwards, captain boring tbh probably collects stamps in his free time. I also agree Dempsey being passed up is bad, 22 goals from attacking midfield he's had an awesome season. Krul should get in as keeper of the season tbh he has 14 clean sheets same as Hart I think but behind a weaker back 4.

Owen's more bothered about his racing horses than his football career these days tbh. He's an utter cunt of a man too.

Aye quietly optimistic, we're in a perfect position tbh, I'll not be disappointed with anything from 3rd-6th places as we've surpassed any expectations coming 6th let alone 3rd! Realistically I don't see us coming 3rd but the way we're playing and the poor form of spurs 4th is a possibility. If next weekend we win and Spurs + Chelsea lose/draw the Man City and Chelsea fixtures will be less of a worry.

Haha what a mug the man is, what is it with all these long ball lot? him and Allardyce seem to have cracked, come out with some right bollocks between them. So we're now getting slated for standing by Hughton can't win with blokes like him, I enjoyed seeing the miserable bastard in his wet charva cap throwing water bottles about. Really unsure how you can say your medical team got it right after he's scored 16 goals and hasn't really missed many (if any) games through injury, I'd just shrug it off and say we didn't want to risk £8m rather than make a daft comment like that.

Then went on to say but you have to give his boys credit, what for? being completely controlled for 90mins. He also made it seem like the game was really even.

Thank you very much QPR

Quality goal from Taraabt that!

Aye Ron Swanson's a crease. Glad we kept strong 2nd half and just clinically saw the game out, top finish from Cabaye for the 3rd. Just a top class performance all round tbh just hoping QPR do us a big favour here.

Good dominant 1st half, making sure we're limiting any set pieces for them in the final 3rd and very clinical up their end.

Heard a rumour about a big bust up between Steve Kean and Paul Robinson, allegedly Yakubu and Hoilett are going to be refusing to play tomorrow. No idea how true it is, guess their squad for tomorrow will tell.

I could barely look at the picture without laughing when I first saw it.

Aye, always liked Clarence. Last played in Chile in 2010 according to ; http://www.transferm...ieler_3262.html Right looker in all.
