Great performance today against West Ham after going a man down at 0-1. That's why we're Champions!

Take that, Otis!

Hmm, Henry not playing. Interesting.

Nice one! Hello So Lack and FFK. Bugger that I sold Rooney for Henry, but then everyone else has him, and maybe on Wed he'll deliver. Odd approach by Arse given that Barce will beat them, if Diego Forlán doesn't get there first and Spurs will qualify for a European place over them. Bummer about Chelsea. If only...

Have to say that after the first 15 minotes the best team won and Rooney was the difference - fair play (not like last seaon)
Consolations are that I have Rooney and Henry in my Fantasy team, Chelsea will still win the Premiership (Liverpool rather than ManU will have to stop them winning the double) but most importantly I've realised Spurs still have to play ManU and us, so 4th still a strong possibility (if we can beat Portsmouth)

I went to see Oldham lose pathetically to MK Dons. They couldn't string 5 passes together all game. And now we're out the playoff places. Teriffic!

I think its going to be very tight. We need to beat Everton away first next Sat and that is not going to be easy with our stuttering away form. As for Utd, Rooney could have a field day against out lightweight full-backs...let's hope he pulls a hamstring or something! :lol:

There's no doubting that the Arse have an easier run in, although that can sometimes back-fire on teams. Still, with Arse having away matches against Portsmouth, Sunderland and Man City I think Spurs will need at least a point from the higbury match. I don't think I'll be able to watch.

It ain't over yet Otis, but if you overtake us and win the League you'll have well and truly deserved it.

I'm a Pompey fan for the evening....Come on Harry...psyche em up!!!

I see the Arse are giving Sol a game, so Portsmouth (aka Spurs Reserves) must have every chance of a point at least! :lol:

I'm fed up with all the reports in the paper about Rooney's betting debts. I really cant believe that by law they are not allowed to take him to court to collect them! I know he was an idiot for running up such a huge debt but refusing to pay it off? Would he have refused the payouts if he won? - don't think so! :roll:

Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks. An easy 3 points becomes 1. Chelsea have it easy. Sunderland suddenly decide to compete in the Premiership. And I suffer in FF, meaning the tenner I waged over an arch-rival over who would end fourth is closer to going up in smoke.

Bolton are my only hope!

Clutching at straws! You were all prepared to come on here boasting about a four point gap and your plans went up in smoke. Can't say I have any sympathy after some of the nonsense you spouted about Chelsea.

Well at least everyone hates Chelsea these days and not Man U, so there. Jose is going to buy three new players this summer. Can't wait. Bollock and who else? How long before Russki and Chosen One fuck off somewhere else leaving Chelsea struggling for their existence again? At least we'll beat you on the 29th to show we can do it twice in one season. and Liverpool will win the FA Cup.

Tott fans, are you aware of the rules this season if Arse win the CL (big if) and finish outside the top four? Well, it means the 4th placed team won't qualify for next seasons CL. Kinda makes me want Tott to finish 4th providing Arse win the CL, cos that would be very funny ha ha.

I mutually hate Chelscum and Manure, but not as much as shitspurs or liverpoo. Also WH, NU, BC, BR, E, M, WBA, BW, um.

My, my...you are on the case. That rule has been in place since the start of the season. I have no problem with it for five reasons.

1. Spurs aren't ready for the CL itself and would end up in the UEFA Cup anyway by September.

2. Finishing higher in the table than the Arse scum means much more to me that a 4th place entry in the Elitist bollox that is the CL.

3. I personally think Arsenal will finish 4th anyway, as our run-in is so tough and Arse's is so easy.

4. Arsenal are gonna get their Arse's kicked by one of the Spanish sides.

5. Arsenal smell :P

Now Otis, I think your lot ought to roll over and give us 3 pts on Monday in order to make up for last season's Roy Carroll 'incident'. Also, the fact is that we played you off the park at OT earlier in the season, only to pick up one point. You know it's only fair. :wink:

Sorry, we still need Chelsea to lose and us to win, in preparation for 29th.

Bolton are knobheads.

That's not how 'mutually' is used.
