Furthermore if you watch that journo thing on a sunday morning in "Jimmy Hills kitchen" you can always guarantee it features a spurs,chelsea,or Arsenal fan/journo

I must say I based my original observations on the SKY coverage. It just strikes me that with Chelsea beating all and sundry at a canter and the media constantly highlighting our lack of goals, and their hugely superior squad, we should by rights be big underdogs anytime we play them. The fact that we seem to be the only team who can compete with them at any level at all seems lost on the media. The fact that rafa seems to have Maureen in his back pocket tactically seems to be unnoticed. Bare in mind that since the semi-final Chelsea have bought Essien for shedloads, Wright-Phillips ditto and regained the services of Crespo who is World-class by any reckoning. Liverpool have been laughed at for procurring the services of Crouch for 7 million and have bought a new keeper for 8 million, (I'm not including Del Horno or Sissoko because they didn't figure last night. Nor Zenden because I don't think he counts on any level really).
Given all that, they should be absolute certainties to roll us over no problem. Whar happens? we get the better of them but is Rafa clever? Nah mate, it's a good result for Chelsea. Maybe if they sign Ronaldhino and Henri, and Gerrard is injured but we still get a result against them then Rafa might be held up as being slightly astute tactically.

Bigmick you do talk alot of sense, impressed with what you have to say and coming around to the idea of liking you!!
I do feel though that crouch is quite a decent player and has unreal ball control for such a tall player he has surprised me with his skill so far but its obvious he needs to score goals and he needs to do some weights and get more physical get the duncan ferguson attitude, and he would be amazing.

Traore i felt had a decent game last night, was one of our better players once again. As for the hand ball galles knew what he was doing trying to disguise his arm being up and him being sort of side on helped him but a definate penalty. But yes we did shade the game prob 55% to their 45%, and overall deserved to win. Now with a proven scorer, hopefully a joaquin on the right, seeing what this gonzalez has to offer on the left, this team is going places and maureen (like it) will be quaking in his fecking coat.

It really doesn't bother me, I could care less what the media have to say. They're all bandwagoners.

I just love it how we've gotten under Chelseas skins[the players,Mourinho and their fans], its f#cking fantastic.
