sh*t, I just found out the Chelski goal - 20 yard shot, hits the upright, comes back and hits Camp (QPR goalkeeper) in the back and goes over the line before he could turn to retrieve. A jammy goal indeed. Don't Chelsea ever have any bad luck??

Thanks for that. It looks even more flukey than I read! The second richest team beating the worlds richest team.

Or as we prefer to say down the Fulham Road, West London's finest beating Quarter Pound of Rubbish.

A more likely scenario is that one of the "next best" group of Everton, Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Man City, Blackburn could intrude on the big 4 party. Will depend on the draw in round 5 and the quarter finals.
 
... and how they get on in the 3rd round against giants like ... um ... Oldham, Coventry ...

I know, I know, its serious!

Wasn't it in the 90's when Chelsea were getting crowds of 9,000 and 3,000 or them were skinheads?
 
And before you say it, Yes, I stood in "The shed" for an Arsenal V Chelsea game (1-1) and I as surrounded by the B'stards! (But that was in 1985 - some things never change)

Depending on the way the draw goes this could be a year when a lower ranked premier team or a championship team make the final.

question:
 
my scouser mate was saying he was reading about how liverpool denied luton the cash from gate receipts, and that today he read riise say the own goal was on purpose to arrange the 2nd tie, after talking with the team and being disgusted about the boards decision.
 
sounds a little far fetched to me, and he finished work before i could get any sort of source off him, any one heard a thing about this?

NZgooner have you seen the goal? I would like to see Riise do that again. So far fetched it is.

No, I close my eyes when their on. Thanks for that Sanday, needed clarification before giving him a slapping! W*nker!

If that had been an Australian referee, he would have given the penalty for the hand ball and sent Riise off! and disallowed the goal! Nice to see DogKenilworth Road is still as poxy-a-ground as it was 22 years ago! Mind you it's looked like a full house - all 500 fans.

Yup, seems Mr Carragher got a bit of a drenching as well:
 
 
Don't know what he's complaining about, getting the odd beer shower is an intergal part of the Fever Zone experience (allegedly) 

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Come on Stoke, fire up. And I hope Havant hold their lead against Swansea (now 3-2).

All reports I've heard state the Hammers-City game is terribly boring.

Havant and Waterlooville? How do they fit that in a chant?
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
