Wrong.

Some people have class. That's why we get on Jelavic's back when he dives but you applaud your players for doing the same, and shout handball when it hits somebody's leg.

Horrible club.

Yep. Disappointed with Arsenal tonight; always a club I've admired. What disgusted me about them tonight was the way they expected a foul after any strong type of challenge.

Arsenal were an embarrassment to the game that is commonly known the world over as a contact sport. Utter joke. The arse physio earned his wages tonight eh?

Come on mate Chelsea have 2 games in hand. I'm as optimistic as anyone on here, but it's not gonna happen.

Doesn't exactly say there gonna win them though, Chelsea have Spurs at home and Spurs have Man City and Arsenal still have Man Utd.

 

[Azzurri]

You wouldnt care if it won you the game. Tonight was about winning the game and players try to gain advantage in football, thats how the game is. you either join or lose out

Nope.

If you look through our Jelavic thread you'll see plenty of posts about how he needs to stay on his feet and stop diving about.

We beat Sunderland and Spurs lose to City....We go 5th...

Chelsea still got the RS and United away, Spurs and us...

I still think if we get 12 points we'll be in there with a shot

I really do hope so mate. It's out of our hands now though. Let's just focus on beating Sunderland. COYB

Chelsea's last four fixtures are grim for them.

United, Spurs, Villa who will be fighting for their lives, and us.

never forget the tinkerer. HE'S HELPING OUT DA MIGHTY REDS GET FOWTH BY LOSING GAMES ON PURPOISE.

lets hope he is, but sadly it's because he's a gash league manager

I didn't realise you have access to my thoughts. For the record, I wouldn't. I like to win games because we were the better team and play some ace football. Nice to see you've sold out though lid. All topped off by your cry arse gobsh*te manager.

My problem with moyes' tactics tonight is that he still insists on playing high balls to Vic against mertesacker etc.

Like when we play stoke, it is pointless hitting high balls to vic as the taller defenders just pick them off.

Needed a plan b (perhaps trying to play to feet a bit more)...

Moyes on Everton being "rough with the tackling": "It's actually allowed in football. Up north we do that quite often".

Agree 100%

When we had it on the floor and passed it about we looked like we could create something

this was the first game where Anichebe was nullified.
He was double-marked half the time- probably an indication of opponents starting to recognize the threat he holds.
but this is also a result of Fellaini returning to his CDM position. Usually he draws off the other defender. Barkley while doing a good job didn't offer that same aspect Felli does.
Gonna gather my thoughts.
I'm not giving up yet- we have 15 points to get. Let's take them one game at a time, starting at Sunderland.

Absolutely.

Keep saying it...we've lost 5 games all season. Spurs, Chelsea, and Arsenal can have shockers and will drop points. Our aim should be to beat Sunderland, West Ham, and Fulham, and not lose to Chelsea and the RS.

Out of ours hands but we get 12 points we'll finish 5th.

I can see Chelsea tumbling.
