Really looking forward to tomorrow's football. Early kickoff is the big Merseyside derby. Should be a cracker. Straight after we have a goal fest (Defoe hatrick and a brace from Bale) when we watch the Mighty Spurs ,back to 80% squad hopefully, crush the Saints... :wink:

An hour into the Spurs game Chelsea kickoff against United. As we should be 4 up by then I'll probably turn over to that game. :D

As for today the only thing I'm looking forward to is QPR getting there first win of the season against Arsenal... In their own home no less. :laugh:

Wishful thinking?

:cheers:

Meanwhile Terry Venbabbles has told Chelsea to sign up Defoe to help Torres.... Hands off. :tsk:

Great insight from El Tel, buy Defoe to help out a player that has never, ever worked with a strike partner.
Genius.

Defoe is pretty much the last player on earth I'd consider partnering with Torres.

Buy Steven Gerrard and a time machine and he might be on to something.

Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola on Torres: "He has good spirit, but he doesn't love Chelsea, you can buy his service but you can never buy his love for Liverpool."

Agreed on today's games, terrible fixtures.

Hmm, forgive me if I find that just a tad difficult to believe.

Torres had a connection with the fans that I've not seen since Robbie Fowler, probably never seen with any foreigner.

I do believe Torres loved Liverpool, certainly more than he ever will Chelsea, it's just that he happened to be there when our previous owners were ripping the team up to finance interest payments.

It's a FACT he left Melwood crying on the day of his transfer, rumour is he tried to pull his transfer request but we wouldn't have it.

I seem to recall you badmouthing him when he left (in tears?) for Chelsea. They say time is a great healer.

Ah bollocks... looks like the Arse are gonna scrape a 1-0 win against the ten men of QPR :wink: . Probably be three when we finish as QPR are gonna leave themselves wide open now. 5 minutes then... QPR's keeper's keeping them in it. :(

Not only did they scrape the win they did it by an offside goal! QPR should have had 2 in the last 5 minutes. Poor finishing let them down. :(

Watched the wrong game :(

Just watched the highlights of the Reading vs Fulham - What a game! Two top top ( :D ) goals among the 6.

Never mind eh. :cheers: QPR had no intention of trying to score until they went 1 down. Wilshere made a difference even though he was targeted by some thuggish tackling. Why is Arsene Wenger the only one to see that Ramsey is a bit of a weak link.
I see you have developed the Tiny Totts supporters` habits of wishing ill on your superiors. why not just concentrate on your own team? :twisted:

I will always wish ill on the Arse... too ingrained to change that now! :D

On a lighter note it was good to see Wilshere back. If anyone's gonna add a spark to the England team it's him.

This year, there's really no-one in the same league as Chelsea when they turn on the style. I predict that they'll finish this season unbeaten with a gap of 9 points or more.

Edit: Remembering how my IKTS predictions are coming out, you should really take note of the above... :wink: I think I've got City to win at 5-1. :shock:

Most exciting thing about the City game was that there were 12 minutes added on time... a new record. :D

Cracking goal by Tevez though.

Glad that dull fest is over anyhow... time for the new Spiderman. Heard good things.

More of a question is why does he continually play him out of position :?
When he was moved inside to his natural position, he was excellent :|

He's not gonna be a regular starter but is a good squad player.

Surely you don't take his reports of games seriously? :shock: :roll:

I read the same about the 12 minutes of added time, but that ignores the nearly 3 minutes added for the first half so a total of 15 minutes - not sure why they ignore the first half added minutes?
