CHELSEA 2-1 LIVERPOOL
We have waited literally all-season for this – a victory in a big game. It was scrappy, it was mistake-filled, but it was a win, a 20-million pound prize. We’re in the Champions League next season and we proved we deserved to be. Thank you to Desailly, Gallas, Petit, Lampard and Gronkjaer, who scored a [...]
Here we are again, deep in the darkest and most uncivilised part of London. Where the soot hangs thick in the air and all the programme sellers look like Dick Van Dyke.

An absolutely dire performance made worse by Newcastle winning a tough one at Sunderland and Liverpool demolishing West Brom. We are stumbling to the finish while Liverpool are rampant. Fulham came to the Bridge determined to pack [...]

Eidur Gudjohnsen had just been replaced by Jesper Gronkaer when Zola and JFH combined in a move that brought back memories of JFH and Gudjohnsen’s understanding of last season. Zola, with [...]

Bloody cold at the best of times, full of women dressed (well hardly) for a climate more like Bermuda, lots of great drinking holes, the likely lads and full of people who go around saying daft things like, ‘when the boat comes in’. Truth is, of [...]
Continue reading …0-0, 1-2, 1-2, 2-3, 1-1, 0-1, 1-1, 0-0 and now 1-2. That is about a depressing series of results (dating back to 1992) that you could imagine.
