[Syn]

You know whatmaccy this could be a glorious weekend. I expect our position in the race for 2nd will have strengthened.

[Marc Overmars]

Chelsea and United are dropping points fo sho.

Routine wins for Spurs and City unfortunatley.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We will deffo see a few shocks this weekend

[Master Splinter]

We will deffo see a few shocks this weekend

Torres to score?

Stoke to reach double figures in completed passes?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A new studio for Soccer Saturday. Same shite talked about though presumably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Ryan Taylor, Lovenkrands, Guthrie, Cabaye, Obertan, Ben Arfa, Ba.
Subs: Harper, Santon, Perch, Gosling, Best, Shola Ameobi, Sammy Ameobi.

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Lampard, Sturridge, Drogba, Mata.
Subs: Turnbull, Torres, Malouda, Meireles, Bosingwa, Kalou, Bertrand.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

Torres. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Preferred result for this game? Bearing in mind Chelsea play Citeh at home next in the league, I wouldn't be totally annoyed with Chelsea winning this one.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Preferred result for this game? Bearing in mind Chelsea play Citeh at home next in the league, I wouldn't be totally annoyed with Chelsea winning this one.

Nah Chelsea should loose which will give them more oomph to beat citeh at home next week

[Syn]

I'm hoping for a Newcastle win. :pray:

The more points Chelsea drop the better our chances of finishing above them. I think Newcastle won't be able to maintain this pace and we're likely to finish above them quite easily whereas Chelsea could find/buy some form.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sidesow Bob is at it again. That has to be a sending off but he has been booked.

Mike Dean. :haha:

[Rors]

Vidic all over again *still bitter*

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF is Sideshow Bob doing?

[Rors]

He's having one alright...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Chelsea. The right decision has been made. Barcodes are going to go mental.

[Rors]

Sturridge gives it the full starfish...No contact in my view

[Rors]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved on to the post!

Lampard. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge smacks the post!

What a game. :haha:

[Thierrymon]

End to end stuff.

Entertaining match this.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

lumpard :pal:

[Syn]

Cashley getting abuse.

Toon army :bow:

[Thierrymon]

Most entertaining Chelsea have been in years.

Cause they are shit again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just wide from Sturridge.

Defending. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Cashley getting abuse.

Toon army :bow:

Didn't know Cheryl Tweedy's family was at the game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krul denies Sturridge again. Mata and Sturridge are ripping them apart.

[Syn]

They need RVP tbh.

That was a shocking attempt...no pace or accuracy on that sidefoot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge hits the side netting. This is insane.

[Syn]

Didn't know Cheryl Tweedy's family was at the game

Yeah, it's a bit weird - I wouldn't have thought Newcastle fans would care...but I guess you don't really need a reason to dislike a gobby, slimy twat like Cashley.

[Thierrymon]

One of these in gonna go in sooner or later.

[Rors]

Someone tell Sturridge he isn't Pythagoras...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Cech to deny Ba's backheel flick!

[Syn]

Someone tell Sturridge he isn't Pythagoras...

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coloccini hauled off, Perch on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

How much did chavs pay for Luiz

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Mata.

[Syn]

How much did chavs pay for Luiz

I think they just paid his bail.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How much did chavs pay for Luiz

About £20 million I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ba hits the post, Big Man kicks the rebound against Sideshow Bob and was nearly an own goal!

[Rors]

Ba hits the post, then Big Man's clearance hits Jon Pertwee and could easily have gone in :faint:

[Syn]

Luiz :lol:

Get him off. No way in hell Ba should've been allowed to head that. Great effort by Ba though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 0-1 Chelsea, Drogba.

Wish we had stumped up the money for Mata.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Its be coming tbf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge's finishing. :lol:

[Syn]

Sturridge is like a shit Defoe in terms of how he plays.

In other news, cheeky bid for Ba in Jan?

[Master Splinter]

Krul is the best keeper in the PL alongside Szczesny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sturridge is like a shit Defoe in terms of how he plays.
In other news, cheeky bid for Ba in Jan?

Yep,

[Rors]

44 min: David Luiz gives the ball away on the right wing and only a mdifielder – Ramires I think – covering for him saves Chelsea from Ba’s break. David Luiz is just thick, really.

Thefcf.co.uk :bow: Superb site, tons of archive links as well. Your 3-0 win over Liverpool from 1990 was yesterday's On This Day for example..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 half time, ridiculous match.

"...Newcastle are aggrieved, we'll find out why in just a couple of minutes". That must be for the people in the studio's benefit because I think we have been watching the game.

[GP]

Boo's ring out :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm on 'also' watch for Ruud Gullit.

[Syn]

Ruud Gullit is a fantastic pundit. Ginola is also quite good, annoyingly.

[Syn]

And Gullit ruins it by saying Sturridge was Chelsea's best player. Thought it was clearly Drogba or Mata myslef.

[Rors]

Worth pointing out that Lord Master Ruler The Omnipotent One Mata actually shinned that cross..

Can I be clamped in leg irons for saying that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah, no need for that punishment. It must've been intended.

Mata. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ben Arfa off, Shola Ameobi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Obertan. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Drogba put that wide?

Martin Tyler screamed out goal probably, wherever he is.

[Syn]

Hate to say it but Pardew has done a great job with Newcastle. They look like a top 6 team in terms of quality...well, at least in attack. They can't defend but nobody can atm it seems...apart from us. :unsure:

[Rors]

Drogba with an inter-tutor-group lunchtime match finish :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Krul is amazing :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes smash the bar! Ramires has a shot saved by Krul somehow from the counterattack. :wacko:

[Rors]

This game is pathetic. In a very good way

[Syn]

FFS. How irritating.

Krul is immense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lampard. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Actually it was Drogba who hit the bar. :lol:

[Rors]

Lampard. :haha:

something to calm down a bit with there.

:pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ameobi drags one just wide.

[Rors]

Obama :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cashley was made to look like a chump there. It's a shame Obertan can't pass.

[Syn]

Cashley just made a total schoolboy error. Shame it didn't lead to a goal.

[Master Splinter]

Ryan Taylor :doh:.

[Thierrymon]

What is the point of Obertan?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lampard hauled off, Meireles on.

Chelsea fans are booing it. :lol:

[Rors]

Most (to be fair not all) Chelsea fans on Twitter Incandescent With Rage at Lampsy being withdrawn. He's been utter tripe!!

[Rors]

Whilst I'm at it:

Torres :haha:

[Master Splinter]

More Relish :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Most (to be fair not all) Chelsea fans on Twitter Incandescent With Rage at Lampsy being withdrawn. He's been utter tripe!!

He's got passion though.

[Rors]

He's got passion though.

And Being Rested For Tuesday <_<

[Master Splinter]

Ivanovic :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sideshow Bob hasn't done anything bizarre in this second half so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ba gave Cashley a kick. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lovenkrands off, Sammy Ameobi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata prods it wide.

Kalou is coming on. Torres. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man clears off the line from Sammy Ameobi.

Cech. :haha:

[Syn]

FFS. Good strike by Ameobi

[Rors]

Big Man :bow: :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata off, Kalou on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krul. :bow:

[Rors]

73 min: Off the line from Terry! The cross to Ba is flapped at by Cech, and Sammy Ameobi volleys a left foot shot goalwards, straight at Terry. Juan Mata is coming off, Salomon Kalou comes on. Salomon Kalou has made over 10,000 substitute appearances for Chelsea.

[Master Splinter]

Good try from Ba.

[Syn]

Terry elbows a black man. Disgusting stuff.

Now Romeu with the Barca tactics. Get up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drogba off, Torres on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shola Ameobi smashes the bar!

[Master Splinter]

How many times has the woodwork been smashed?

:wacko:

[Syn]

Not again!

Someone check the width of that bar.

[Rors]

Shola Ameobi gave that one some serious beans - unlucky that man

[Master Splinter]

Cabaye's corners are worse than Fabregas'.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krul denies Sturridge yet again.

[Master Splinter]

Krul :bow: :bow:.

[Thierrymon]

How many chances does sturridge need?

[Rors]

Sturridge never had a chance of finishing that one off as he didn't have his set-square with him this time..

[Master Splinter]

Ba :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sideshow Bob completely misses one, Ba hits it on the volley but it goes nowhere near the goal.

[Syn]

Ba had more time there.

Even though Sturridge has been cack in front of goal, I think Newcastle are good for a point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge booked. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

How many chances does sturridge need?

Sturridge :pal:
Me :pal: for wanting him at Arsenal

[Syn]

Torres and Sturridge :lol:

What a strikeforce.

[Master Splinter]

Guthrie :doh:.

[Syn]

Fuck this shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 0-2 Chelsea, Kalou flukes it. Torres. :lol:

[Thierrymon]

2-0 game over.

[Master Splinter]

0-2.

Torres still managed to fuck up though :lol:.

[Rors]

Muh..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steven Taylor has gone off injured now.

Barcodes. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Good win for Mike Dean.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[Rors]

0-3. Now that is a complete travesty

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 0-3 Chelsea, Sturridge finally scores.

[Thierrymon]

Sturridge finally gets his goal.

When the game is practically over.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sturridge :bow:

GW FL points

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ryan Taylor tries to kill Sturridge.

[Master Splinter]

Soldado will punish Chelsea instead.

Soldado :bow:.

[Thierrymon]

R. Taylor shoulda been off for that.

A frustrated tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 FT.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

0-3 really flatters Newcastle today chavs should have won at least by 6 tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Any win against Wigan and we're above the Barcodes, finally.

[Rors]

A cover of 'Crazy Crazy Nights' (on the advert for Smirnoff currently on SS)?. Now I've heard it all (I hope)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A cover of 'Crazy Crazy Nights' (on the advert for Smirnoff currently on SS)?. Now I've heard it all (I hope)

Whoever did it, it's better than Kiss'. Whilst still being terrible.

[Rors]

[Rors]

They have an image of the crowd behind the person commenting on each match now. :wacko:

Not entirely sure what the point of that is either. Are we supposed to think that they might be there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Cahill heads one just wide.

And maybe it's to make it plainly obvious who the goal is for.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 1-0 Bolton, Bale.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea confirm transfer requests have been accepted from striker Nicolas Anelka and defender Alex. They will be off next month if Chelsea can find a buyer. What do we think of that?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9654080.stm

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Cahill sent off. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Coyle :wave:.

Bruce to take over?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Bruce to take over?

Then Coyle to come to Arsenal Right ?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RPQ 1 Westbrom 0

Helguson with the goal. Again.

[Master Splinter]

The Coyle to come to Arsenal Right ?

It's worked out perfectly.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:bow: Blackeye

[Master Splinter]

RPQ :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR 2-0 WBA. :blink:

Ah no, BBC's live score is just cocking up again. Still 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR had a disallowed goal, that explains it. Wrong decision though apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Norwich, Aguero.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Citeh 1-0 Norwich, Aguero.

FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 1-1 Swansea, Lita.

Kean. :haha:

Fat Robbo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 2-1 Swansea, Yakubu again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh had 78% possession in the first half. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 2-0 Bolton, Lennon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-0 Norwich, Nasri. Ruddy shocker though apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 3-1 Swansea, Yakubu hat-trick. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 3-0 Bolton, Defoe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 3-2 Swansea, Moore. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-0 Norwich, Yaya.

That's the three goal a game average in the league kept up, again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-1 Norwich, Morison. :lol:

QPR 1-1 WBA, Long.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 4-2 Swansea, Yakubu with his fourth!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 4-1 Norwich, Balotelli.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Norwich goal: Steve Morison heads a late consolation for Norwich when he gets up above Gael Clichy to head powerfully home.

Clichy still as shite as ever.

[Marc Overmars]

City. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 5-1 Norwich, Johnson.

Nice!

De Gea. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:bow: Steve Keane

[Master Splinter]

Steve Kean :bow:.

The Yak :bow:.

[Rors]

A relatively attacking lineup, which it had to be this time really. Another craven selection a la White Hart Lane would have admitted defeat before even getting out there. Over to Talksport then... :sick:

[Syn]

24 goals in the 6 matches so far...so 4 goals a game; and every game had at least 2 goals.

Premier League defending :haha: (except Arsenal)

Premier League attacking :bow: (except Arsenal)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Collymore is a Villa fan though. Oh I see.

[Rors]

Collymore is a Villa fan though. Oh I see.

Hyperbole,plugs for the latest odds from Ladbrokes, hyperbole....

[Master Splinter]

Albrighton in the team? :o

Heskey not in the team? :faint:

Has McLeish been possessed?

[Rors]

@StanCollymore
Stan Collymore
ON AIR #talksport Villa v Man United Can the Champions of England stay on the juggernaut's coat tails… Come on!!

:sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Juggernaut? That sounds onimously like the Bulldozer. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Only probably more closer to the truth than the way bulldozer was used.

[Master Splinter]

Insomnia has 'breached club rules' or something.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Possibly. We can testify how hard it is to stay ahead of Man Utd though in the second half of the season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insomnia has 'breached club rules' or something.

Tried attacking?

[Rors]

Insomnia has 'breached club rules' or something.

Non-sideways pass in training?

[Rors]

:lol: Too easy, too easy

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Collymore is a Villa fan though. Oh I see.

Yep he says it all the time on TS tbh lol

[Master Splinter]

Villa :lol:.

So boring that even their own fans mock them.

You'd never see this from Willy Wales.

[Syn]

Channel - 106723 on sopcast.

[Rors]

Villa :lol:.

So boring that even their own fans mock them.

You'd never see this from Willy Wales.

I've earnt the right to do it...!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez is down injured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ankle ligaments have been done possibly, got his foot stuck in the turf.

[Rors]

Sounds like an injury for The Little Pea. Caught his studs in the not-like-any-other VP turf

[Syn]

Looks in a lot of pain. Wellback to come on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hernandez is down injured.

Blow to the mancs he's the one who has been scoring all their goals atm

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Looks in a lot of pain. Wellback to come on.

Valencia is coming on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez off, Valencia on.

[Syn]

Valencia is coming on.

My bad. The ESPN commentator misled me.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

My bad. The ESPN commentator misled me.

Nah is was Welbeck but they don't want to risk him say Talk sport and collymore.

[Master Splinter]

clollymore.

This is better than RPQ.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This is better than RPQ.

Ok......

[Rors]

"Aston Villa playing 1-9-1 right now" #collymorefail

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-1 Man Utd, Jones.

[Rors]

Balls.

[Master Splinter]

Get Heskey on to shore up the defence and avoid a mauling.

[Rors]

"FA Cup semi-final, against Manchester United I think" #collymorefail

[Rors]

26 min: A lovely replay of the Jones goal. Ferguson was waving and smiling like a coy schoolgirl at her crush, a mother sending her toddler off to his first day at nursery, or a 1940s Russian peasant woman waving her only son off on the boat to Leningrad. Take your pick.

Thefcf.co.uk :bow: Cheered me up a fraction any way

[Rors]

"And now the latest odds.."

:banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

100/30? Yeah tantalising.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Given carried off, Guzan on.

[Rors]

Given off. Got to be something up with the VP turf I reckon, reminds me of the sandpit we had to put up with in the mid 90s.
It's not all bad though. Dust off the Guzan klaxon!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hutton. :lol:

Such a thug.

[Rors]

Hutton. :lol:

Such a thug.

As proved on Sunday. Three minutes in, straight through the back, yellow card. Fitting the mood and occasion of the day ( :doh: )

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ashley Young is injured now. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

As proved on Sunday. Three minutes in, straight through the back, yellow card. Fitting the mood and occasion of the day ( :doh: )

He's doing well not to get sent off though, somehow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eight added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd given a freekick that never was. Jones starfish?

[Rors]

@DMiliband
David Miliband
Big and good day for SAFC after tough week. Warm welcome to Martin O'Neill. Thanks too to Steve Bruce - a big and good man.

[Rors]

"I don't see Villa as a passing team, and I don't see Villa as a long-ball team" - Erm, what does that leave us with then Stan?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT. Villa booed off.

[Rors]

Not easy to tell via the radio (especially with THIS station providing it), but that was as flat as a pancake. I don't see the point of bringing in Bannan and Ach's mate Super Marc if we are going to bypass them on the already-rare occasions we are able to build from the back...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think Big Eck realises he isn't at Birmingham anymore.

[Rors]

"Darren Bent isn't a defensive minded player" #collymorefailthatIwouldn'tevenexpecttohearfromTre vorCaptainObviousFrancis

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Breaking news Collymore? I believe the Titanic just sunk.

[Rors]

Petrov for Herd. Be still my beating heart....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Nige"? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Possible ankle ligament damage for Jenas, or is it Vakencia and Jenas has a different injury?

This game has been a warzone.

[Rors]

And now Jenas has caught his ankle awkwardly. Someone's getting fired.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was Rio that just went off for Giggs, this is hard to keep up with. Jenas off, Heskey on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heskey clears for Man Utd. :rolleyes:

[Rors]

Sir Alex Ferguson phones up Carlos Queiroz and says “I’ve got £20 million pounds to spend, I want you to go out and find me a Brazilian genius.” Queiroz says ‘I know exactly the player, Anderson at Porto.’

So, Ferguson signs him and watches him in training, plays him in a few games. He phones Queiroz up and says “This player, he can’t tackle, he can’t shoot, he can barely pass… he doesn’t seem to be for anything, he just goes anonymous against quality opposition.
