Not sure that drubbing is the best thing for us as we meet them Monday evening, backlash comes to mind!


Their first goal was a cleaner strike as you'll ever see.

Bent as much as that free kick by Roberto Carlos, Brazil v France 1997.

And a lot less effort. In fact it looked like he hardly tried to hit it. Pure timing.

And I can say with almost absolute certainty that he never meant it. He just wanted to put his laces through it and see.

Still, a quality strike though. As was the performance as a whole. Could, and should, have been more than 4-0. Amazing what we can do when we've got some pace up front, as opposed to Pelle.

Thanks for everything Pothas. You'll be missed. My nickname for you was apt and I will never forget it. For the last time, arise Sir Nic.

What would you say would constitute a good season for Chelsea at this point?

Even the trip by Long in the lead up to the second goal was quality.

They can still make Champions League, if they go on a decent run.

Win the FA Cup and get to the semis of the Champions League would be a decent return from here, although unlikely.

Looked like he meant it to me, the way he struck it? Whatever he meant, the end result was sublime.

Lost his parliamentary seat in May, replaces it with a seat on the Norwich board in December.

Delia is a strong Labour Party supporter I understand.

Few celebs on that board now, with Stephen Fry on it as well.

LVG rubs a lot of people the wrong way. He doesn't get on with a number of his compatriots including Ronald koeman and Gus hiddink.
