Which one is it GPK? Great job on this match thread starters, btw... and am definitely praying for a very good game and a win on this one. Seeing as it will be my first live match! ;-) CMON CHELSEAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Everton are safely clear of the relegation battle and no where near Europe. If we drop points here, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh. The trick will be playing Saturday, and not worrying about Tuesday. When does Cudicini come back? Will we see Veron/Crespo in the Premiership? Was Makelele's injury serious? At least Arsenal appear to have caught Leeds at the wrong time. I don't want to jinx it, but wouldn't there be a certain justice to Leeds ending Arsenal's unbeaten streak?
I updated the error....hopefully we can stay in 2rd, err 2nd place! Enjoy the match! I've been once myself and can't wait to get back over there...We expect a full report of your day Mother Goose.
HAHAHA I should mention that ive got very good hand-eye coordination Dr I and those who've been, any suggestions on where to go and what to see in and around the Bridge? I'll probably get there around 1pm...
Well, so much for any help from Leeds. I will go out on a limb here and prognosticate: Chelsea will finish second with a Premiership record for points for the second place team. Anyone know what the current highest points total for a second place team is?
It's the flipin Henry show out there. Great game of football to watch though - they are showing some great class. Um - now then, are Leeds that bad to let henry bag that many, or are we that solid at the back that our lads have had him in their pockets all season long. 75th min for those that are interested [result]Arsenal 5-0 Leeds - Henry with 4[/result]
Well obviously you cannot compare Terry and Gallas with anyone in Leeds' backline but in addition to that, I don't recall seeing any defense play Arsenal so high this season as Leeds did today. They were constantly trying to play an offside trap and then would get caught with balls in behind them.
Out for tomorrow: Cudicini: Hand Gudjohnsen: Stomach Makelele: Knee Veron: Back Muscle Spasms The EPL record for second place points (20 team league) was set by Liverpool in 01-02, 80 points.
Play up Pompey - Pompey play up Smertin starting today - lets cheer for a nice home win Game just starting.
Well, Smertin did nothing at all - but Steve Stone did. United lose 1-0... Very important to get all 3 points now.
According to the news page this is todays starting team. 31 Marco Ambrosio GK 13 William Gallas RF 29 Robert Huth CH 6 Marcel Desailly CH 18 Wayne Bridge LF 14 Geremi RM 19 Scott Parker CM 8 Frank Lampard CM 10 Joe Cole LM 7 Adrian Mutu FF 9 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink FF Ho-Hum...again with Gallas at right full and J Cole at left mid....hope it works out.
Wow, Parker layoff to Lampard who lobs in a beauty....but off the bar. 0-0, 25th min Early sub: Gallas OFF Melchiot ON
Close...Free Kick leads to the ball bouncing in the box, Rooney gets a shot and a great save by Ambrosio. 0-0 33rd min
Oh dear... If there is a bright side to this I suppose it's that we picked up a point while ManU dropped all 3. Mother Goose - I'm not at all sure that you should ever go to Stamford Bridge again! LOL Let's hope Tuesday night is a whole lot better. OwG
That point may well prove to be as good as three in the end given that there are so few games left to play. No matter how you look at it, they require us to pick up no points from at least 2 of the remaining games, whilst they may need all 6 during those losses as our goal difference is superior.
