If you support the latter side then you'd be doing well not to watch this match. 5-0 down, currently. Not a good day out but I don't think much should be read into it. A bad loss, poor effort, now let's get on with things. Dwelling on a loss like this for a fortnight isn't a good thought though.

The one good thing in our favour is that other than the big three, all the other sides look as bad as eachother.

I don't think we're doomed to a season of mid-table obscurity just yet. At least we're still in the UEFA Cup:D and we haven't been knocked out of the FA Cup yet.

Great win by us today, not so good obviously for Newcastle but im sure them and their fans will get over it. It looks like the top 3 are gonna battle it out which leaves 1 more CL position left. I think Newcastle will finish 4th, because sides like Charlton will drop off and Liverpool arn't good enough.

We didnt have Bellamy,Shearer,Dyer or Woodgate if that doesnt substitute for our performance i dunno what will, Chelski were playing our reserves.
Apart from that we were a disgrace, Killed in the midfield battle and the defence were constantly found out of posotion!!! We need another CB to go with Woody.
Mid table for us this year im afraid!!!

cheers

Well this is what you really get with all your roubles. When Chelsea have a couple of injured strikers who do they have to turn to Mutu, Crespo, JFH and Gudjonhson and when we have Shearer and Bellamy injured we have Ameobi and Lua Lua who are not quite up to Chelsea's standards.

The sending off of O'B didnt help and the penalty given for it just killed off any spirit that was left.

I think we should sell Hugo Viana off in January as i personally think his game is more suited to La Liga or the Serie A.

Chelsea had class all over the pitch and will go close to buying the title.

Considering the sloppyness of the other 17 sides in the premiership we are still a good chance at 4th spot. Other than Charlton, it seems all of them have been lacklustre.
