Football Saturday 19th May

[Rachey]

Don't forget it's also the Scottish Cup final - a Edinburgh derby between Hearts and Hibs, the first since 1896.  Go for it Jambos!!

Are you trying to get me in trouble K4E?

[kalkan4eva]

moi?

[alantj]

been trying to work it out....is John Terry a chump?  

Yes, that as well.

[Kalamar Bay]

Whilst J.T is certainly a Chump...( thanks for the clarification )....Spurs will have only themselves to blame if the Mighty Blues actually manage to pull off an unlikely win in the Champions League Final on Saturday. Seem to remember everything looking good for 1st, 2nd or worst case scenario 3rd in the Premier League for Spurs.....that was until a Tax fraud case , several bungs, an offshore bank a/c opened under the name of a bulldog called Rosie, and all this happening whilst pure as the driven snow Harry was being touted as the new England manager.....

Looks like Jermain Defoe is carrying the flag for Spurs in the Euros...............4 for Chelsea, including that chump.

UP THE BLUES....

[BarbH]

Agree....come on you Blues!!!!

[Blue Lizard]

mmmmmm??? has Scot Parker left spurs then without telling anybody??

[Kalamar Bay]

Good point, well made B.L.

Lets hope he is fit, think we will need his engine.

Kalamar Bay, can you remind me of the outcome of Harry's trial?  Whatever one's views on the British justice system, I recall he was found not guilty.  The FA's faffing about was an unsettling factor, but a home loss to Norwich and a home draw with Wolves were the lows of the season.  I see no reason not to clutch at the only remaining straw to get us CL football.  Parker and Defoe will hopefully both be fit to carry our flag to Eastern Europe and swiftly back.

To clarify, chump was not the word intended - I meant to say that JT is a credit to his family, which I believe is known as being damned by faint praise.

[kalkan4eva]

I know a lot of Chelsea supporters who are not JT fans either

Hi Eniste........Not guilty was the verdict, H.M Revenue / Taxman must be wondering how that one got away from them. Ohh to be a media darling and have the lovely Jamie sat by your side throughout.

Feel a bit for Tottenham, as in the current set up 4th place should obviously guarantee next years participation in C.L. qualifyer at least. Also the wifey's brother supports them and gave us a tropical fish called Dimitar...!!!!....But whatever your views on Chelsea, you cannot take away the fact that with sheer determination ( and not a small amount of luck ) Chelsea have overcome huge odds to get to the final and having beaten Barcelona for the most part without J.T, they deserve a shot at the title.

Gave up defending J.T a long time ago as he lets himself down on so many levels.

Enjoy the final, as one of us wont be feeling to chipper come sunday morning..............kind of think you will be the happier though.....

Come on you Blues.........one last throw of the dice.

No doubting the stunning performances v Barca and I am sure most of us forecast an all Spanish final.  I am not happy about the 4th place team losing their place to the winners - surely winning it should offer an extra place to a country?  Chelsea deserve their chance but so do my lads after one of our best seasons in living memory!  We shall see tomorrow night but hope everyone enjoys it!
