Yeah, my housemate won a wedge as well. Luckily the other one was on a train to St.Albans when I broke the news to him. I even offered to record MOTD for him...he was strangely uninterested. :)

Cor, its like a Morgue in here. No points for guessing who the majority of posting forumites support. It kinda represents the same demographic as in the real world.

[Jah Lush]

There's only one Tottenham Hotspur!

Harry Redknapp's blue and white army.

TOTTENHAM ARE BACK TOTTENHAM ARE BACK

HELLO HELLO HELLO!

[bon3yard]

Thats a hell of an echo.

[Annasfield]

Gutted - I did say didn't I Jah? LadyG also predicted that they'd come undone playing Spurs too. (This will be the arse biting I was talking about)

Back to the Liverpool of last season where we can't kill of the game with a second goal. Gomes has been pants for you lot this season and how we didn't capitalise on that I will never know. Bring back Fernando.

[Jah Lush]

We've got our Tottenham back

We've got our Tottenham back

We've got 'em back

We've got our Tottenham back

Well done SimonM...marvellous prediction.

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!

[Jah Lush]

Happy days!!!!! Spurs beat Liverpool and the Arse lose to fecking Stoke City. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[Annasfield]

Jeez - anyone would think you'd just won the league.

[Jah Lush]

You can't imagine how I'm feeling. We've had such a piss poor start to the season with everyone taking the fecking piss. It's been horrendous, fecking horrible. But this week has been fecking brilliant, so I'm well happy. Yee ha!

[bon3yard]

I guess those who support the top 4 will never have any idea how it feels to suffer through that dross. Their idea of a night mare is a couple of losses. The sense of relief is palpable. Heres hoping both Bolton and Newcastle get tonked today...every man for himself.

[Annasfield]

Fair play - just sour grapes from me. Bring on Atletico and we'll see you lot back at the Lane in a couple of weeks.

[Jah Lush]

Bring it on...Come on you Spurs!!!!

[Keef]

Didn't get to see the match as was at a wedding, but it seems it just wasn't to be. Hitting woodwork 3 times then conceding an own goal, not our day. Good luck to Spurs though, hell of a week. You still need to improve though by all accounts.

Getting rid of the predictables..and Villa and Hull....the relegation tussle looks like it's going to be immense this year...currently invoving 14 teams or so!

Sadly, I think that Chelsea will win the dull end.

[mockney piers]

Totally agree quids. Have said from the start it's Chelsea's season, and relegation fight is absolutely staggering, which at least shows that outside the top four (go on villa, please make football interesting) it's jolly competitive.

I'm inclined to agree we'll be pottering around just outside the relegation zone for most of the season, but I think ultimately we'll be ok.

And absolutely Boneyard. I've always said I love Engerlund because it teaches all the fans of the top clubs what it's like to support a team where a win is more than simply an expectation.

[Ted Max]

That Freddie Sears is a bit nippy, isn't he?

[mockney piers]

ha ha, uncanny!!

[SimonM]

I have seen some really soft Gerrard penalties over the years but tonight's was truly Olympic class!

[Ladygooner]

What happened to Chelsea tonight - were Roma that good? Is that the Roma that were beaten 7-0 by Man U last season?

Don't knock it!

Profit and Loss is shown net of commission.

I took a bet of ?124 that there would be less than 1.5 goals in the game 30 seconds b4 the Penalty!

Typical Away performance by many decent teams,namely plenty of possession but no real penetration and Roma scored against the run of play to go in with a lucly 1/0 Lead.

Second-half they caught Chelsea on the break twice!

[SimonM]

But didn't the Roma that lost 7-0 to Man Utd also win their home fixture too?

[Annasfield]

From my view from the Kop it wasn't a pen. However the handball about 15 mins earlier most certainly was. What goes around and all that......

Think the ref had a shocker tonight, but will wait and watch the match again before I go to town on that one.

The Atletico fans were amazing. They totally took over our usual bar and sang out Torres and Garcia songs all the way up to the match. Even a couple of verses of the Steven Gerrard song. A lovely friendly bunch. Shame that the same can't be said about my experiences at Stamford bridge the weekend before last.

[bon3yard]

Blimey, even Spurs tonked Roma 5-zip. Just when you thought The Scousers had run out of luck during the Spurs game along come a pretty ropey Penalty shout. :-$

[Keef]

Obviously pleased with the point after the 90 minutes. The TV commentators kept saying Liverpool deserved at least a point. Have to say I'm not sure they deserved any more than they got, Atletico were well worth at least their point from where I was watching!

No biggy anyway, they're both as good as through.

I'm starting to get really bored of the champs league. Love the knock out stage, but group stage is shite!
