Sorry man. Wasn't meant as a go at you - did you not know what the consequences of being caught might be ? I am sure you aren't the only one doing it, which makes it all the more galling. Looks like the best thing is to eat humble pie, you would think that they would let you off first time with a warning.

I don't find that weird at all Gribz - some players are more suited to certain types of games, that is all.

I doubt you would get your money back my man. Shouldn't have been smoking, should you ?!?!

Tevez just scored on the stroke of HT to put Man U 1 up. Mikel has been sent off for Chelsea

Can't be right Gribz..... "the best keeper in the world" couldn't possibly drop a howler..... :fish:

Ya dancer - Hibs up 3-2 with a late goal !! Dean Shiels with 3 mins left !!

You would have tyo jinx the Celtic score wouldnt you Gribz..... 2-2 now

I am sure Jose won't mind too much given his pay off is rputedly 25 million !

Sporting Life are also running with this story too. Apparently he will be at training tomorrow to say goodbye to the first team squad. Sky Sports are saying that this has been CONFIRMED by Chelsea. The official Chelsea website also has confirmed it.

I think that looks really smart. Wonder if they could manage to do the club crest in one of the stands at one of the games ? The Saltire and Union flag will still be very hard to top - just seeing that display puts shivers up the spine !

Yeah, funny. They will no doubt be challengers for the CL this season again as they will take 9 points from fortress mechanodome ! They could really be in the shit after the next game if AC decide to actually try to win the game. They could be sitting bottom of the group on 0 points with, potentially, AC and Shakhtar already on 6 points - AND with a double header against Benfica on its way. Let's hope we aren't talking the same way about ourselves after this evening !

I agree it was a bad night for British clubs but not if you try to include Liverpool. A draw against Porto is a decent result, especially when they played the last 30 mins with 10 men. Porto should be their nearest challengers in that group so a draw away from home to them is a decent enough result. Very bad day at the office for the Tims and Chelsea though. I hope you are right about tonight Gribz.....

Yet you just know that when we play them their defence will look like an iron curtain has been put up in front of them....

Looks like they are continuing their usual CL group stages away form then.... 2 goals in 8 mins and should have been 3 apparently, offisde given when the goal should have stood.

Disagree about Hutton having to cover the CB's. Hearts had one player through the middle who was being covered by Weir, which left Cuellar to cover the runner. The ONLY time that a full back should be leaving his position is if there isn't enough cover OR if the team (and that player in particular) are playing a man-marking system. I would need to see the replay again to make sure that it was played out the way I think above but if it wasn't then apologies - if it was the Hutton allowed himself to get dragged out of position, which if we are honest, he allows to happen quite often. He is easily the best RB in the country but if he has a flaw then for me it is that he often allows himself to get dragged inside which means the winger/LM that he is up against gets far too much space to pick his moment and the ball in that he wants.

I thought that too Pete, but it is far too early to worry about that - especially as we will be one ahead when we beat the Tims 4-0 in the first OF game.....

Agree AND disagree. SW, KT and DMB were all as bad as Faye, absolutely awful. However, I don't think that is why we lost - we lost because of a number of factors, not least of which was the schoolboy defending. The 1st goal had at least 2 errors, Cuellar passed the ball out to the flank which he shouldn't have done and Hutton had come far too central, leaving driver acres of space to shoot..... and it just didn't get any better from there.

Fulham have lost goals in the last 10 mins of 4 games already

Good effort Gribz... was watching football saturday and I think it was McInally that was watching the game - with 10 mins left he says "Wigan won't score today, not been at the races" - and what happens ? Right away they get a pen.......

I also think we signed the weaker of the 2 Hibs midfielders when we signed Thomson, Brown would have given us so much more. Alas, we have to make do with what we have

Lots more weeks to go Beattie.... plenty of time to recover losses. I should have bet the mortgage on Killie at 6/5 - couldn't believe they were that price. Dammit, but a 4/1 double will do nicely for now.

think I got lucky more than anything Beattie, just disappointed now that I didn't bet it heavier..... but I guess I shouldn't complain too loudly when I got 4/1 for the double.

I got Killie at 6/5. Not looking good though as Arsenal are looking like they are done.....

Your first one won't come up Gribz. Man U have Ronaldo and Rooney back and need a win, Everton won't win that game. I think your later coupon doesn't look bad though. I only have a double on, Arsenal and Killie

What also shouldn't be forgotten is that the last 2 results will also improve our FIFA ranking which should see us seeded higher for the WC draw which is due to be made soon.
