    Harry Redknapp should say he doesn't want the England job. Tottenham falling apart.

    Howard Webb. Any money.

    I'll bet you €50 that Howard Webb does not referee the 2012 FA Cup Final.

    Gallas is an absolutely piss defender. Never rated him at Arsenal, he could never [a] stay fit and deal with a strong frontman of the Drogba mould.

    He was an excellent defender for Arsenal (bar the psychological breakdown at Brum).

    he faded badly today though.

    Who the fook lets Martin Atkinson referee games?

    Says it all when he's been so incompetent the past two weeks that Spurs and Arsenal fans would actually agree on his ****ness. apart from basically burying Spurs today with the "goal", he failed to punish a tackle last week which could easily have landed Alex Song an entire summer of rehabbing a severe injury. Needs to be demoted, the worst high profile ref in the Premiership by a long way.

    He'll either get it or the Champions league final imo.

    Way overrated.

    A liability mentally; Roy Keane pointed it out there; just lost the plot completely after the 3rd goal. Downed tools in an instant.

    Maybe he will. Never the less I still bet you €50 that Howard Webb will not referee the 2012 Fa Cup final. You did say any money.

    Fair play to Terry for his interview there

    Let's hope he shows the same honesty in court.

    Despite the hammering in the end, the second goal should rightly be the issue of the day. Farcical decision.

    I was more referring to the amount of replays that they were showing. (Which the referee doesn't see!)

    Call the referee a disgrace etc but this is always going to be an issue until FIFA back down and bring in technology!

    We just know John Terry and Suarez will shake hands ,

    :pac:

    Fair play to Chelsea!
    Chelsea Football Club is extremely disappointed that a very small minority of fans embarrassed the club today by not honouring the moment's silence before kick-off.

    Chelsea FC believes all moments of respect should be honoured and today we pay our full respects to all those that suffered as a result of the Hillsborough disaster 23 years ago.

    Gallas destroyed our title challenge in 2008 because he could not handle it. A coward.

    This coming from a guy who posted " 2012 FA cup final, a meeting of racists" only a few posts back so yeah i guess that proves your point alright.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    Chelsea seems to have more gob****es then most other teams tbh, certainly more who attend games anyway.

    Yeah those people are scum. Unfortunately when I heard the booing there was never much doubt which group of fans it was. We won't get rid of that rep as long as people like that are still around.
