Good afternoon.
A gutsy well earned point against the usual vexations of Secondhand Fridge. Some crummy refereeing and a conveyor belt of petty cheating from a team so screwed up they believe they can manage themselves.
The only criticism was the absence of one touch passing. Our average was three and that buys the other lot time. The midfield was massively congested and neither side seemed capable of challenging that.
Bale was vastly improved. So was Walker and had Adebayor not spent the entire game fighting for every ball I doubt we’d have taken a point. He was less successful attacking but hey. Them’s the breaks.
It was a classic Mourinho- esque Cheatski performance and I’m telling you now that a Martin Jol side would have buckled. Crucially Arry’s mob did not and that was the difference out there. Chelsea lacked the killer edge today. From front to back we blunted the knives of a still very, very dangerous side.
Was it two points dropped because we missed a few gilt edge chances? No. Our recent bad run has generated dozens of reasons to get heated and today we showed what a politician would call some genuine green shoots of recovery.
Player ratings in the morning. To our lot this afternoon I say in the softly spoken words of the young Mr Grace, ‘You’ve all done awfully well.’
i watched it on a stuttering stream in japan…damn technology here, they block everything but from what i did see gallas was the man, constantly talking, commanding and dictating to his team mates who all seemed to listen attentively.. good man gallas, we need that and of course i love king but gallas is a true leader on the pitch, even parker took command from gallas – made all the diff, nice one
Yes, thank god for billy g today. He was immense. A bit ridiculous that apparently what we’ve needed is for him to come him and show some bleeding character, but a lot of praise is due – he was a true leader out there.
ps, it was a must not lose game – we didn’t, fanfcukintastic, now lets hope chelski dont with the cl and honestly i dont give 2 fcuks where the goons finish once we get cl next season, we’ve had a sh1t load of outside interferences – terrys racism leading to capello walking leading to the arry spec, the mod saga at the start of the season and most recently the sad situation with muamba. feeling good tonight, real good, may be the several geisha girls falling over themselves to get to me but i doubt that (its all in me head) so it must be the result and the pints of asahi ive been swilling to calm the nerves… COYS – almost there

who’s that telling the reporter not to ask raf about arry??? ridiculous… and amusing
…and where is he when Redknapps spouting?
yehhh good point lol… more of him during press conferences please
Its the first game in a while that I really enjoyed watching,not because I thought we were fantastic even though we were pretty good.I just never had that gut wrenching feeling(in my fat belly,J Pleat you twat,wouldn’t piss on you etc)I knew we wouldn’t let a goal in.Big shame we never scored.
I hope we don;t start giving Chelscum the BBB,now that might give me a dose of the Ross and Norris Mcwhirter’s
Definitely two points dropped. That was a pretty desperate Chelsea out there this afternoon and had we gone for it from the off I’m convinced we’d have ended our 20 year hoodoo.
Having said that, it’s comforting to think that if recent performances are to go by there’s no way Chelsea have what it takes to finish top four, so unless Newcasle pull something spectacular out of the bag we should be home and dry before long.
