Cmon Norwich please roll over.

Scrumpy I'm currently flitting between hope and optimism that we play better against the good sides and will show some fight, and the fact Suarez always bums us and we usually go down with a whimper probably rock bottom

But I got a good feeling about tomorrow...

Great first prediction, and the draw at villa would have started a bet well but after that Sad

Just love this season, so many unexpected results.

Sunderland have been bad for Chelsea over the years and now the chosen ones first home defeat in the PL Very Happy

Don't you be putting a spanner in the works Olly.

Get wit da program.

Sunderland really are a bogey team for Chelsea and City, I genuinely don't understand it, what is their record like against United and Arsenal?

Just had a quick look and they've won 2 of their last 10 or so games against those two sides.

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:07 pm

What about against City and Chelsea?

by skyeman Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:08 pm

Not as bad as i thought for Chelsea - Sunderland. Two PL defeats and a cup game in the last five seasons.

Seemed like more.

by skyeman Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:15 pm

But those two Sunderland defeats in the PL were both massive in regards to Chelseas ambitions, so big, big losses.

by Ent Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:16 pm

Think the stat from sky was 16 wins out of last 17 for Chelsea against Sunderland.

Shame really as a win would have made next weeks game absolutely huge.

by Guest Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:17 pm

Hammersmith harrier wrote:What about against City and Chelsea?

They've beat Chelsea thrice in the last 15 or so games and beat City 4 times in the past 15 games or so.

Rightly or wrongly...

He holds grudges, mata defended casillas when mourinho dropped him.

Same with lukaku, loaned out because he cost mourinho a penalty shootout against pep :P

Yeah he seemed to dislike Lukaku from the off. Wasn't aware of the penalty shootout thing. How petty if true.

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:32 pm

They would be so much better off with Mata feeding Lukaku than having Oscar feeding Eto'o.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:53 pm

I'm gonna give you all my Nodge tips now, cos I'm not around before the game tomorrow, will be causing rifts between my best mate and his girlfriend pre game

Norwich win, over 2.5 goals, Norwich goal 80-90 mins, 2-1 final score

I'm putting a quid on all them and a fiver on Liverpool

by Guest Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:02 pm

I'll be following suit Olly. This title is costing me a bomb Laugh

by Fernando Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:08 pm

#InTheBagFreeky Cool

Would take a monumental man sausage up now not to win it.

by Guest Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:12 pm

I think so too Nando. Gotta cease the moment cos next year is a whole different ball game.

The stars have indeed aligned.

by Fernando Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:14 pm

It's a good year for football. Atletico ahead in Spain, You're lot in England so money can't buy everything. That being said if you do not strengthen in summer i suspect your be heading back out the top 4.

I'd love to see Atletico win La Liga. What a romantic story that'll be.

We have been blessed with not having european football to be fair. Big test next season.

Just happy that we are competitive again.

You have to take the chance and with Man Utd being awful yet somehow worse then Spurs? I mean really how have they done that Laugh

Be interested to see how you do without Henderson for the last few games he's been the main drive in midfield with his running about. Still need to fill your squad out as Europe will take a big chunk out of fitness & form. Anyway it's time for the worse MOTD of the season im expecting considering todays results.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:39 pm

In a team that contains John Terry, somehow Ramires has achieved being the biggest c*nt of all

by Guest Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:43 pm

I'll never tire of seeing Sir Fabio's penalty.

Agree Olly, that takes some doing.

Disgraceful behaviour from Chelsea's assistant

You can't run from the nick Juan. The walls are too high and the guards have guns.

So don't even try.

Must be the camera angles but this Spurs match is like watching a game of FIFA.

Pathetic from Mourinho it was a stonewall penalty, Chelsea starting to look like a group of petulant children.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 19, 2014 11:14 pm

Marshall should make the PFA team of the year, single handedly giving Cardiff a chance

by Corporalhumblebucket Sat Apr 19, 2014 11:38 pm

Norwich feeling a bit queasy I imagine after the Sunderland result. vomit

For that humble comment I now want Liverpool to win the league a bit. Good stuff, Freeky.

I love Oscar. Think with a little more freedom you're looking at as close to a modern day Lampard replacement as you'll get, yet not a massive Kumquat

And United should target Sandro. I think he'd be a good "get"

Sorry just don't see it myself Dolph, he's a good player, but he's nowhere near the level of a Lampard/Mata yet

Olly mate. Betting at this point in the season gets emotional.

by mystiroakey Sun Apr 20, 2014 9:58 am

And freely. It's a lot of teams with a lot of sour grapes. Pulis goes through each scenario days before the game. Like he is going to exactly know what the other manager will do as that is on the fly and dictated by the game. But pulis will go through many different opposition formations.

I literally cannot believe this nonsense..

by mystiroakey Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:05 am

Athletico with no money...

Yes they don't. But it hasn't stopped them going into huge debt to be competitive. Not sure I see the link that they are the good guys either...

by The Special Juan Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:50 am

I think Atletico have more debt than either Real or Barca but I'm not sure. Somehting like £500m+

by mystiroakey Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:52 am

the figures suggest it could be 1 bill euros!!

they deny it- becase they value a piece of land as lucrutive-

the proof will only arise when its sold. however spains problems economically stemmed due to over valuing land and other assets.. I wouldnt be suprised if athletico have done the same.

These days you can buy a whole village in spain for less than a studio in croydon.

A message for the Norwich team and fans on this important day in the title run in

That makes me want to watch the dark knight again. that scene was immense

by Hammersmith harrier Sun Apr 20, 2014 11:20 am

I've said it numerous times but the only three elite teams in Europe with a business model to be proud of and they're all english; Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool. All three have differing levels of debt but they all comfortably repay it year after year, all three survive within their means.

by compelling and rich Sun Apr 20, 2014 11:33 am

bayern are well run

bayern season ticket £100, arsenal £1000. as a fan i know which id prefer

by mystiroakey Sun Apr 20, 2014 11:37 am

Palace are well run at the moment with the new owners- We are so prudent these days due to allmost going bust.

The problem is getting our players to sign contracts at wages we can afford. I here that bolaise may be wanting more than we can pay..

TBH though he deserves a decent wage.Not sure the inns and outs , but I have a feeling we are the lowest paying wages club in the league..

Players like bolaise, ward, punch and jed may be offered a bit more elsewhere- We need to tie them in..

so many fans will miss out due to that though- its literally first come first serve- and fans(or even non fans) that get in quick may make bundles on the black market due to that.. its a stupidly low amount from bayern tbh. You can go too far the other way
