Table has a strange look to it...

6 West Ham

7 Tottenham

8 Arsenal

[red devil]

This weeks movers and groovers...

DR - 4 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 10 pts

?? - 3 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 9 pts

LG - 5 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 8 pts

OT - 5 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 8 pts

RD - 2 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 8 pts

EP - 1 Correct Result + 1 Correct Scores = 7 pts

JL - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

SC - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

MM - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts

RC - Plays a Maxxi = 5 pts

PD - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

AM - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

Mx - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 3 pts

Mick doesn't qualify to overtake me. His percentage is too low.

[bon3yard]

Aww, poor Luis looks crestfallen. Funny.

No sure that holds water. What if some daft supporters decided to call themselves Hitlers barmy army, for whatever perverse reason, would you be ok with that?

[Parkdrive]

In normal circumstances I would have no truck with a player being jeered when down injured, by in John Terrys case I'm happy to make an exception.

[Otta]

That is quite funny, but don't think it means anything.

Actually I was pleased listening to the radio commentary that they said he was keeping his hands clean and just getting on with it. We need more of that from him, and without him we'f be totally fucked.

He's probably been warned to try and stay out of trouble because if he gets another booking he has to miss the next match. I know the other players were celebrating with Carra for his assist, but it was still a bit odd that none of them celebrated with Suarez in front of the fans...

I'm sure it is, we've doing it for years to both the 'ammers and Spuds. ;)

Good blog about the state of Liverpool

[Alan Medic]

Red Devil I protest......see above.

[red devil]

Your protest has been duly noted Meds.

Anyone with less than 75% (shown in indigo) wouldn't qualify for CL and final table consideration

The only table that counts is the final one, and places will be adjusted then to take into account the 75% rule. By then I hope that everyone will have caught up and there will be no need for the rule to be implemented...

[Mick Mac]

Yeah. So take that loser.

[Alan Medic]

Yeah, but as of now I qualify and you don't! The table does not reflect current standings. So there.

[StraferJack]

So what next for Chelsea?

[Otta]

The FA have still got the opportunity to make an ass of themselves, so Clattenburg will probably still be punished somehow.

[Otta]

Fair point from the chairman though

"Suppose we had tried to sweep this under the rug and said to the various players, 'Look, it's not a big deal and the press are going to be all over us, maybe you want to reconsider'. If that had leaked out, we would've really been crucified."

[StraferJack]

Isn't it a Chelsea problem that "various players" call the shots there?

I know he denies that but please. Chairmen go around believing everything their players say? If there was a scintilla of chance clattenburg said anything then fair enough. But it's so incredible that yeah i would say to the players "we sleep on it and if we still are certain he said it we take action"

But a highly emotive dressing room, after a highly charged game where decisions went against them? They were bullying that ref, end of.

[woodrot]

MK dons vs AFC - that should be a good game - if only for the fans

[woodrot]

Teh Chelsea are narked as they thought brave John Terry had the racist concession for that day

[maxxi]

AFC's travelling contingent will be their biggest crowd of the season.

[Otta]

Peter Herbert now accusing Chelsea / The FA of a big cover up.

"We strongly suspect that the FA and/or Chelsea have failed to provide this information to the Metropolitan Police in order for them to conduct a proper investigation," The information we had is that there are 'no victims'. Well, if there are no victims, what on earth has been referred to the FA in the first place?

"What on earth are the FA and Chelsea playing at then? Are they having some cosy exchange of statements between themselves and not giving it to the police?"

The fact is Pete, that you jumped straight in and alerted the police to this "incident" without a shred of evidence that it wasn't a complete fabrication, and now you're feeling a little bit silly.

Surely it's a matter of time before the Society of Black Lawyers have a word with this bloke and tell him to shut up. If I was a black lawer I think I'd be cringing at this bloke representing me!

Hopefully not. I think its now a case of how best Chelsea can extract themselves without more egg on their faces. Its probably a case of presenting it as these accusations having to be properly looked into through the correct channels etc.
