    great stuff HB, thanks for that...it would be a shame for some players who have contributed in the grand scheme of things.

    What I find amusing is how a few weeks ago every single Football League World blog was saying Wimmer (along with Onomah and Winks) would be the perfect emergency loan for pretty much every top half Championship club, but as soon as Wimmer started getting PL games they all switched to N'Jie - even though PhysioRoom says he won't be back for at least another 2-3 weeks. It's almost as if they're basing their assertions on how many matches Wikipedia says they have.

    For the real stattos, here's how some players currently qualify for a medal (using Transfermarkt)
    Chadli - 18 appearances, 781 minutes
    Son - 18 appearances, 753 minutes
    Mason - 10 appearances, 491 minutes
    Carroll - 15 appearances, 410 minutes
    Trippier - 5 appearances, 368 minutes
    Wimmer - 4 appearances, 285 minutes (he'll probably get #5 against Palace)
    Bentaleb - 5 appearances, 167 minutes
    N'Jie - 7 appearances, 159 minutes
    Onomah - 6 appearances, 25 minutes

    For comparison on the number of minutes players have
    Alderweireld - 2340
    Kane - 2297
    Lloris - 2250
    Dier - 2203
    Vertonghen - 2055
    Walker - 1972
    Eriksen - 1875
    Alli - 1750
    Dembele - 1564
    Lamela - 1496
    Rose - 1252
    Davies - 1088

    Anyone else find it amusing that a set of fans with all manner of charming little ditties about gas chambers found themselves getting teargassed in Paris last night?

    Shame. Maybe they'll treat the locals with a little more respect in future, then?

    Not smart enough to learn from experience! A dog or a cat can, but Chelsea fans? What, for the life of me, I'll never understand is how David Baddiel or any other Jewish person can align themselves with those morons?

    I think there should be a more lenient rule for the back up keeper in the squad, their position is the most limited in the side.

    I shouldn't worry too much mate, no Spurs players will be getting one this season <cheers>

    "I shouldn't worry too much mate," Spurs will win the title with enough games to spare
    to allow Vorm to play the games needed to meet the quota.

    I'm sure Piskie would be his usual magnanimous and humble self, should that unthinkable event occur!

    I hear Sarah Lund is going to investigate a case where several hundred people in Jutland died of boredom at the exact same time

    Bring in Mourinho either before the Arsenal game or after we play them, if at all. I thought LVG was gone after the Sunderland game. Getting outplayed by relegation fodder in the second half seemed like the last straw. The final whistle signaled "finished" to me. The result today is completely in line with that. Denmark is riding high with key players in both the PL's top 2, and now this.

    Chelsea have met representatives of Italy's coach Conte. I'm trying to remember when a coach has gone from country to club successfully. I've heard nothing about Capello or Sven, McClaren has done nothing and I don't see it being different with Conte. Hoddle, Keegan or anybody.
    Mind you if he did go there and failed I'd be happy.

    Pardon me while I get down on my knees and thank the invisible man in the sky for not making me an Arsenal fan.
