    The stats tell us what we know, we were rightfully beaten by the better team, we fought well but the bottom line is we didn’t deserve anything from it. Good luck to man city, even though I don’t like how they’re succeding.

    Andymag says:

    Just thought about how horrible its gunna be not being able to watch newcastle play for three months :shock: , and we’ll have a to wait a while for the euros and olympic footie starts. :cry:

    Stats,great job as always. Amazing isn’t it how we’ve had far less possession in other games and yet won them .Just goes to show it’s not everything .Your stats also comfirm how hard we worked ,and against any other team we most likely would of scored and won. 15 attempts is nowt to sniff at and a 74% pass completion is good too. Good show from the lads against a high flying Citeh team soon to be Champions . :cool: ;-)

    England bores me, the football’s shit and the team selection’s incredibly biased. Will be watching our lads, i.e. Holland, France, also enjoy watching Spain and Germany. Also I get the micky taken out of me less in Scotland if I say I don’t give a fuk about the national team.

    CC says:

    I always say im wiping me hands of england then get caught up in it all when the major tournaments come round and before i know it ive got them daft flags deafening me when im driving.

    As it is Im actually quite interested for this one i like Woy and id like to see him succeed and stick two fingers up at twitchy and his chums in the cockerney media… :x

    Wonder why its so quiet :???: :?:

    richietoon says:

    Good read Statto, good effort by the lads but beaten by a quality side and the new champions of England……probably :mrgreen:

    CC… I’m the same and I’d love them to win it ( :lol: ) I don’t know if it’s lack of interest on my part or living in Spain or both but hand on heart I couldn’t even say who’s in England’s group or when the Euros start…..that said when they do start I’ll be watching and hope the team can get the interest going again.

    They’re just sooo boring, its got to a point that I’ll rather watch wales or ROI play than watch an england match, hell I’d watch croatia play instead of england, at least they have some flair. I’m a bit more excited about the idea of the GB football team for the olympics, that’ll be more interesting.
    —————————–Hart————————–
    M.Richards—S.Taylor—G.Hanley—N.Taylor/S.Ferguson
    -D.Beckham—J.Wilshere–A.Ramsey—G.Bale-
    ——————-J.Rhodes–W.Rooney—————
    Thats my GB team, your only allowed 3 over 23(yr old) players so I’ve gone for stevie T, Becks(publicity and he deserves one last shot), and rooney(hate him but hes good).

  12. 12
    Andymag says:

    Fergie was the only decent N. Ireland player(who is young) that I can think of, and they needed representation :grin: , and I’ve never heard of hanley but he plays for celtic and Scotland needed more than just one player in the team :mrgreen: .

  13. 13
    Andymag says:

    If S.Taylor can’t play cus hes not fit enough, then play G.Caldwell for stevie and if hanley’s shit bring C.Cathcart(young N.Ireland CB, plays for Blackpool (:evil: )) for Hanley.

  14. 14
    NorCal Toonfan says:

    Ok, so is soccer in the Olympics not a recognized FIFA event? Just curious how you get a GB team for that, but each country on it’s own qualifies for the Euros or World Cup.

    3hourswasted says:

    Big game for the Toon tonight – Bindippers win and we are guaranteed to finish at least 5th – Andy Judas Carroll to get a hat-trick please :grin:

  16. 16
    richietoon says:

    Andy…Richards will be over 24 when the Olympics is on.
    I know what you mean about them being boring, but a bit like the Toon and not winning trophies I always hope “this time” it’l;l be different ;-)

  17. 17
    richietoon says:

    NorCal….Olympics, our country, our rules…………..or we’ll take the ball home :evil: ;-)

    @ 17… too funny.

  19. 19
    richietoon says:

    *will be 24* :roll:

  20. 20
    Andymag says:

    @17 :lol:
    Richie
    Swap Richards for either walker or clyne then.
    England may be like the toon trophy-wise, but not entertainment-wise, the toon have always been fun to watch (barr some of the hoofball years ala allardyce) but England just play box passing, eventually run forward with one of the overrated english wingers, lose possesion then the overrated english defenders fall over themselves and concede a goal, Hart is good though, I’ll give them that.

  21. 21
    Andymag says:

    Over half the comments on this article are from me :roll: :lol: :cool: :???:

  22. 22
    richietoon says:

    Andy…maybe Roy will introduce “Brazil style” football, now he just needs to find 22 new players who can play like that :lol:

  23. 23
    richietoon says:

    Sooooo Liverpool fans slag us off for booing AC, but do the same to Torres, mmmmm :roll:

  24. 24
    richietoon says:

    I feel an AC goal or 2 tonight :grin:

  25. 25
    richietoon says:

    Andy..just thought, players involved in Euros won’t be in the Olympics(Rooney)….what about AC if he doesn’t make the Euros? :shock:

  26. 26
    richietoon says:

    feck me Chelski hit the woodwork :???:

    feck me, canny shot off the bar by Torres :shock:

  41. 41
    richietoon says:

    Andy…no but I bet Chelski wish he had been :lol:

  42. 42
    sidekick says:

    Andy , Terry responsible for 2nd goal and then allowed Carroll through on a 1 on 1 with the keeper but Carroll fluffed the chance.

  43. 43
    Big Dave says:

    Statto ;-)
    So the bin dippers are trying to get us 5th place :grin:

  44. 44
    Big Dave says:

    hows Carroll playing ? as I think he had a good game at the w/end

  45. 45
    richietoon says:

    Dave…. he’s been ok , he has started to play well lately and he’ll score tonight :mrgreen:

  46. 46
    richietoon says:

    I’d take AC to the Euros like :shock:

  47. 47

    Carroll wins a penalty

    NorCal Toonfan says:

    Don’t blow it Downing…Here’s your chance. Careful now…aim…fire…oops…Oh well, there’s always next season.

  51. 51
    MDS says:

    why would they let Downing take the penalty? surely not just so he could bag his first goal of the season ;-)

  52. 52
    sidekick says:

    Canny game – 3-0 half time . Chelsea have hit the bar and a post and Downing has hit the bar and hit the post from the penalty kick.

  53. 53
    NorCal Toonfan says:

    MDS – Has to be the only reason, right? Why else?

  54. 54
    3hourswasted says:

    We’re in the top 5, we’re in the top 5, Jose Enrique we’re in the top 5 :lol: :lol: :lol:

  55. 55
    MDS says:

    NORCAL- Kenny trying to throw him a bone is the only logical explanation I can think of. It would be funny if they lost 4-3 (though not ideal for us)

  56. 56
    richietoon says:

    feck, they got 1 back :evil:

  57. 57
    Carter says:

    5th at least then. Nice one indeedy lads.

    Taxi for Turnbull

  63. 63
    Andymag says:

    ICE
    I’m liking that, bought time we stood up to the fukers. Ideally the game ending 4-3 to the poo, with key players being sent off an injured from both sides in the process. :mrgreen:

  64. 64
    Andymag says:

    Whos in goals for chelsea, doesn’t look like chech?

  65. 65

    Turnbull.

    Great save from Reina

  67. 67

    AC man, should have buried it :roll:

  68. 68
    Andymag says:

    Chelsea look shit, shows how far Barca have fallen, the spanish league must be shit now if its still a two-team league and one of them can’t beat a ten man team that can’t break into the top 5 of our league :lol:

  69. 69
    richietoon says:

    dorty fecker Suarez like :evil:

  70. 70
    Andymag says:

    Not to mention how Real Madrid can’t beat a German team that can’t win their own league :mrgreen:

  71. 71
    Jon R says:

    Blimey, just turned the telly on and see it’s 4-1!! :shock: Hopefully Bayern are watching :grin:

    Just need Mata to come on now so someone can injure him :twisted:

  72. 72
    Andymag says:

    I missed it richie, what’d he do?

  73. 73
    richietoon says:

    Whey in defence of Downing, it’s not his fault he’s fecking sh!t :lol:

  74. 74
    Andymag says:

    Jon R
    :lol: ;-)

  75. 75
    Jon R says:

    Big miss by that Lukaku kid. You reckon Chelsea were doing their scouting on Football Manager 2009 cos he doesn’t look half as good in real life as he did on there :lol:

  76. 76
    Andymag says:

    richie
    aye its villa’s and commoli’s :lol:

  77. 77
    richietoon says:

    Andy….smacked Ivanovic in the face with his arm.

  78. 78
    Andymag says:

    Jon
    He hammered our reserves like, thats what £18m will get you though :mrgreen:

  79. 79
    Andymag says:

    richie
    did the ref see it?

  80. 80
    Andymag says:

    Liverpool deserve to be 8th when they spend £40m on downing and henderson :| :lol:

  81. 81
    richietoon says:

    He should have done like, Ivanovic was ushering it out of play and Suarez swang his arm from behind him into his face…then feigned concern :evil:

  82. 82
    funkyjesus says:

    I applaud Suarez tonight for what he did.

    Considering Ivanovich has punched Shaun Maloney in the kidney, kneed Demba Ba in the spine and elbowed Andy Carroll in the chest all within a month, I’d say it’s time someone had a go back at him.

    Thuggish twat.

  83. 83
    Jon R says:

    Andy, I didn’t see that! I take it all back! :razz: Was he even better than Nile Ranger?! :o :lol:

    Seriously though did they pay £18m for him?! :shock: :shock:

  84. 84
    richietoon says:

    and you think that’s why Suarez did it, to get justice for other players? :roll:

  85. 85
    Carter says:

    Thanks bin-dippers for securing 4th for the Toon. Still a bunch of horrible, thieving botters though :grin:

  86. 86
    funkyjesus says:

    I don’t give a fuck why Suarez did it. He could have done it for a bet for all I care. I also don’t remember even implying that either, learn how to read.

    I just said that Chelsea cunt has had it coming.

  87. 87
    richietoon says:

    Well your admiration for a thug and racist says more about you than owt I could say.

  88. 88
    Carter says:

    5th getting carried away :oops:

  89. 89
    richietoon says:

    Carter…Aye, cracking season and could possibly get better :mrgreen:

  90. 90
    Carter says:

    Richietoon- bit of a long shot but hey I think one of them will slip up, its just if we can crack the toffees. Fingers crossed. Still need Chelski to get beat in CL so we go straiht into the group stage for the Europa if we finish 5th ;-)

  91. 91
    NorCal Toonfan says:

    If we go straight into the Group Stage for Europa, think there will be another summer tour…maybe back in the USA? Please…please…please…will go to a game this time, I promise.

  92. 92
    richietoon says:

    Carter….it’s along shot, as long as the team do their best v Everton I’ll be a happy. CL would be fantastic but Europa and 5th is a great achievment.
    Might just be wishful thinking but I really can’t see Chelsea winning the CL….mind I didn’t think they’d beat Barca either. :???:

  93. 93
    richietoon says:

    Norcal….I think they should tour Spain, specifically the Alicante area :cool:

  94. 94
    icedog says:

    great interview this,alaways loved him never the best c/h in the world but toon daft,never forget the pee-take against m/u :grin:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17994133

  95. 95
    sidekick says:

    I think we would have to play in the qualifying round of Europa if we finish fifth.

    Is it not only the third placed teams dropping down from the Champions League that go straight into the group stage of the Europa ?

  96. 96
    kimtoon says:

    Richie @46 -I agree about Carroll ,Isaid the other day I would take him to the Euros. I would also drop Terry and Rio as they are a car crash waiting to happen and at the end of the day there are other good replacements such as Lescott ,G. Cahill ,if fit I would even suggest our very own Saylor.

    Ice@58 – Yeah nice to see Papiss taking the press to task ,serves em right ,shit stirring gets.

    Also nice to see the Dippers doin it for the Toon :lol: :mrgreen:

    To be fair, there are a lot of scumbags in this match. Would be tough to root for anyone with those high standards ;-)

  98. 98
    Carter says:

    Richietoon- I agree Chelski just don’t look good enough to win final. The team have done us proud this season and I will celebrate after the Everton game regardless of the result. The lads will give it there all at Everton I am sure of that and you never know Pardew said before the City game that Ba may just score a important goal before the end of the season. He may be on the money :???:

  99. 99
    kimtoon says:

    Ice @94-Love the Albert interview ,he’s aged well .He says he has no regrets but you can tell he’s still gutted over that title slippin away like the rest of us. :cry:

    Good Evening Lads… Shocking Result 4-1 :shock: . Oh well were guaranteed 5th :twisted: .

    MDS ;-)

    Ice, loved him at the Toon, not the best defensively but great player none the less.

    KimT..I’d definately take him, it’s not like we’re spoilt for choice. ;-)

    Carter…Aye, wish I was gonna be at Everton, went last year had a great weekend, Benny’s great goal and Tiote was fantastic MoM for me.

    Alberts spectacular chip on Manchesthair United was one of the most exciting times in my life… In more ways than one :twisted:

    MANA and a good guy too

  106. 106
    Andymag says:

    The toon should have a tour a bit closer to home, just North of the border. ;-) Start of with St Johnsten, move on to Dunfirmline, hammer Celtic then have a nice tour of Kinross :mrgreen:

  107. 107
    Andymag says:

    If Chelsea play like they did tonight against Bayern Munich they’ll be slaughtered, even if they were resting a lot of players, they were really poor, now know why they hardly play Essien any more, he’s crap, used to be a pin-point pass specialist and would score great curling shots, now he can’t pass for fuk, each one was intercepted.

    Great that we’re guaranteed 5th minimum but it also means everton have something to play for if they want to stay ahead of pool in the league
    Hopefully we’ll win but a top 5 finish is fooking bueno man

    Think peopleare over reacting to the similarities between that game and the CL final. Be surprised if more than one of those players started that game and even the suspended regulars that were playing knew di matteo didn’t care about the match and that their season was over. The performance against bayern will be a world apart

  117. 117
    aussie magpie fan says:

    Saw an ad in the paper today after a top 5 finish result.. read something like this..

    For Sale; 1x Reality Bus.
    Features include: One owner & fully negative geared. Please note it has no exit windows due to all the original passengers bailing out through them. Please call Troy on 1800whoohoo

  118. 118
    richietoon says:

    DubT…I can’t really see anyone over reacting(although just skimmed over comments) I agree it was a poor performance from them last night with a much weakened team and I’d be shocked if there isn’t a vast improvement in the CL final…….that said I still think they’ll get beat ;-)

  119. 119

    Aussie you putting in an offer then? ;-)
