All right. Can we settle for bottom half? I respect your 45 years although the first game I went to at St. James's was in 1958 when I was eight. I assume you weren't actually born on the centre spot at Stamford Bridge?

bottom half next season novo you never know. the russian has to rebuild the team
another 150 to 200 million maybe.
l was born in 1958 and no l was not born on the centre spot at the bridge.
big game for you lot on sunday you still have a chance to finish 3rd.
cup final on saturday against the scoucers we have to raise our game.

Spurs have to start playing now. Harry is in limbo. No England job and only one year left on his Spurs contract with no extension yet on the table.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Norwich to put in a good performance at the Emirates on Saturday.

I don't want to rely on Bayern Munich winning the Champions League.

I think though you can rely on us not beating Man C., so at least 4th is secure.

As I've said before, I'd rather we finished 5th so then I don't have to bite my fingernails until May 19th. I've had enough thrills for one season.

Cisse .... is .... a ..... legend

Well, it is about time he got a hat trick. Next Sunday would be nice. Even nicer if Ben Arfa got his first in the same match.

6 goals will do you then?

Sorry this isn't the first time you posted this, but it's an itch I have to scratch. The word is spelt scousers not scoucers. If you are going to refer to them as such, do at least make the effort to spell it correctly.

I should say so. BTW, I've just read an article in a newspaper which reminds me that a certain Alan Shearer scored 12 goals in his first 12 matches for Blackburn.

One less than Papiss Demba Cisse.

I look forward to the latter's future role as failed caretaker manager and TV pundit. (En francais c'est sur).

I join you in your irritation. Bloody Londoners.

really does it matter. oh dear

You're absolutely right of course, people should put it down to you being vaguely cock-knee. ( you will notice the other wink at the end of the original post denoting a slight tongue in cheek post so no need to frown ).

I think you mid table dwellers should kiss and make up.

he he, I have no issue, the wink was the clue.

I'm in a difficult philosophical position. If Toon beat Man C on Sunday (or even draw), the the title is assuredly Manure's.

Should I care about that? Likely not, they're equally unacceptable to the human race.

It's more about whether the Toon is really ready for a Champions thingy at the moment. All signs are good except for the FCB, who might well flog off the cheap talent (Ba, Ben Arfa, Tiote even Cisse) and as ever fail to reinvest.

Existential angst around here,
