F**K this, In one of the other threads I said we shouldn''t blame anyone tonight but I just saw Drogba's second again and Riise should never, ever play for us again. Awful defending.

Lets not forget that this tie was a two logged affair, over the two legs we were the better the team. We didn't get through, such is life. Tonight is not a night for blaming anyone, plenty of players were well below par but lets leave that for another day.

The worst thing about this, and I'm off to throw up after I post this, is that for the rest of the season I'm a Chelsea fan. Sickens me.

More of this well timed anti-mockering please

Right, that was rubbish but we're not even close to being out of it. Bit of belief, start passing the ball, the right impact subs and we can still do this.

Lampard looked like he'd just been crying. Hopefully it's not the last time tonight.

awwww look at all the lovely wee blue and white flags......

I've been under pressure in work all day, thank feck !! - work's easing off a bit now and my nerves have just gone through the roof. defo getting straight into the beers when I get home. Nothing else for it.

Don't do it Grandpa, you've got so much to live for....

Until he can prove his performance during the warmup I don't think he should even be considered.

As a load of people have already said the key is don't concede, keep this in mind and then try to get a goal or two to really put them under the pressure at theirs. Would be great to be 2-0 up and able to play our own game at theirs, solid defense and counter-attacking football.

We all need a scapegoat, this year it's Voronin - last year it was Zenden. Easy to forget that when he was playing gash he wasn't the only one, there was a good few of our team who had a poor spell at the same time. We should have a sweepstake to try to pick next years

FWIW I was in DC last week and met a Montreal Canadians fan, GG team, and asked him what he thought of him. was slightly suprised that he was totally non-commital about him - said they hadn't really seen anything of him. Kind of fits with what we've seen here, as the only thing I can credit him on is his ability to largely keep his mouth shut. Unlike his partner who largely can't keep his very large mouth shut at all.

Fyds, you've quoted these kinds of figures again and again but they do not relate to DIC. DIC are a subsiduary of Dubai Holdings, who the figures you often quote relate to. The money which DIC are using to invest is considered excess profilt from Dubai Holdings. To the best of my knowledge the amount of assets controlled by DIC are more like $10-20 Billion as I thing this was the figures quoted in some articles I read.

I reckon he's still getting used to things and the good things we've seen up to now should be more and more prominent from next season on. The step from Brazilian fooball to the premiership is huge, far bigger than from any eurpoean league. He'll be great next season, the boys got talent.

You were saying ?

Would that be the same Arsenal that finished below us last year ?

Very true but the fact that the media also perpetuate that idea is the really annoying thing.

What was Merson on ?

Yeah maybe, just sounded out of place is all. I don't think he would ever intend it, nor would it be cool if he did.
