If, at the end of the season, Chelsea miss out on CL footy, it will be quite amusing listening to the Chelsea boys bitch for the whole of next season about how they were "cheated" out of 2 points in this game. What would make it even more satisfying is that they would not have the "Champions of Europe" bollocks to cling to for comfort. It would be fitting payback for all the piss-taking they did, when they denied us a CL place, this season.

Away from Suarez, what I'm seeing on the Arsenal and Chelsea boards is a general sense of negativity towards their own chances of top 4 but at the same time positively commenting on each other's chances (Arsenal fans saying that Chelsea will probably get top 4 and vice versa).

Bizarre.

**** 'em both! Let's worry about our own position. If we can keep going - going winning, things will sort themselves out.

I think it's wish-fulfillment. The worst thing for any Chav or Gooner would be for us to finish above them, so they'd rather it was the other of them.
 
Chelsea didn't manage a top four place last season and are hardly tearing up trees this year either. If Chelsea don't make top four it will be strictly an internal f**k up and they should look to blame Roman, the players and the manager(s)- in that order- and not officials.

Still in our hands but what annoys me and most others is we were a competent refereeing performance away from winning today which would have all but guaranteed us not just 4th, but probably 3rd too. It's likely now we will have to beat you at home which may not have been the case had the referee not bent the rules to allow Liverpool to claim a point.

If that refereeing performance (and Clattenburg's against United) had happened in Italy or South America there would be a match fixing investigation tomorrow.
 
DL, I feel your pain. We've been on more than our fair-share of dreadful refereeing decisions that have cost us points.

Just seems to be an inherent bias towards Northern teams (always has been to be fair). Graham Poll, Mark Clattenburg and to a lesser extent Chris Foy are why I have no respect for English referees. Spurs have had more than their fair share down the years but nothing on the scale of Ovrebo or even Clattenburg/Friend this season. Cowardly and spineless sums English refs up to a tee. Friend will no doubt say he saw the Suarez incident to cover his backside.

Foy v Stoke. Worst refereeing performance ever.

As for the Northern bias, that might be because all of the refs are from up North. If I remember right, there isn't a single one from London.

what exactly did Clattenburg get wrong in that game apart from the Torres 1st yellow which was a red and then his 2nd which was a foul by Evans
 
I still think the worst I've seen were the Mendes' disallowed goal and when Reading didn't even put the ball in the goal agaisnt us and that spanner head Atwell gave it <steam>
 
Sending off Ivanovic for a cynical foul on "last man" Young. What was Clattenburg thinking, DL? Tut, tut.

And giving a second booking to Torres for going down theatrically (not like him at all, is it?). He really went out on a limb there didn't he? Perhaps you have a point if you asked how Torres was still on the pitch at that stage anyway....

On that day you conceded three goals- again I would suggest that is too many to expect to get any points.

There have been three major goalline incidents involving Premier League teams that I can remember and all three have gone against Spurs.
Mendes v Man Utd and two v Chelsea which were given but didn't cross the line.

Torres should've gone in the first half, but Ivanovic deserved to go and the 'dive' that Torres got sent off for was actually a foul.
The third Utd goal was clearly offside, too.

Was a goal given against you that didn't cross the line?

Stop grizzling, you're embarrassing yourself...what comes around goes around, big'ead! :D
 
Just seen this posted elsewhere:

"It's good to see that Suarez has finally tasted champions league success."

That joke should cheer up some Chelsea fans, whilst also making me laugh.
