I found it ironic that Drogba was bitching when him missing the game winning chance was probably the biggest reason why they lost.

Are we not forgetting about the penalty that wasnt called when Henry was draged down in Barcelona?

Chelsea can blame the refs all they want but if they didnt concede they wouldnt have lost , passing blame on is FTL.

Cant wait for the final tho , even tho i hate Man utd i have to admit this is the best 2 sides in the world right now going against eachother.

I flipped on the match when it was 3-1 late in, and saw Adebayor take a nice dive. Then Chelsea scored their 4th. Suffice to say that was enough for me.

Guus Hiddink is a tactical genius.

Newcastle 1 Middlesbrough 1 at half-time. Who's watching?

A draw isn't enough for either team, can't see either team winning though although Newcastle have edged the first half I'd say.

You know im watching davie.

I think Newcastle can score again , there defense is horrible of set peices.

A draw actually wouldnt relegate us just yet , i dont see Hull getting another point so wed just have to beat Fulham if we drew but its unlikely.

I fancy our chances over the smogs rather than everybodys favourite neutral team "fulham"

I'd rather be watching Catania versus Palermo.

CHYEAAAA , Martins comes on and scores within a minute. LOVE IT

Fulham next.

I really hope we start with Martins and Viduka for the next game if Martins is 100%

Im sick of Owen , biggest waste of 18million ever

You've got the wrong Owen when it comes to the biggest waste. Think Owen Hargreaves.

Pay his wages for another couple years and then we can talk. Until then, 18 mil + 110,000 pounds/week for four years and a return of 26 goals in 70 apps will remain the biggest waste

Michael Owen didn't cost 18 million. Owen Hargreaves did. Michael Owen has played more than Hargreaves.

Sorry CB, but I've been secretly hoping Newcastle gets relegated. They'd be fun as hell to play with on FM if they were in the Championship.

Yep. Shit team and shit loads of debt. Dramatic wage cuts required and minimal spending. I suppose if you want a challenge...

Owen is the biggest waste of 18million , Hargreaves wages are nowhere near Owen`s and Hargreaves isint hyped up like Owen is.

The worst thing about Owen is the fact that they wont just bench him when hes doing bad , instead they will start him ahead of Martins who has been much better for us. Least Man Utd saw Hargreaves lack of talent and said fuck u (when hes not hurt) ..... Newcastle still persist with playing Owen. Man Utd can also afford to fail on a player for 18 million WAYYY more than Newcastle can .

Instead of buying 2-3 decent people to strengthen a thin squad we bought Owen for 18mil , R E T A R D E D

Hardly a shit team for the Championship .... we are better than a bottom 3 side by quite a bit , i mean our squad is still horrible but its a mid table team on paper.

And im sure FM wont factor in all the debt and dramatic cuts or otherwise id agree with you on that.

[Archer]

Wed struggle to ever get back up tho ... i honestly think if we went down it could be another Leeds type of thing.
