Poor response at home following a 7-0, very poor, seem to have spent most of the half moaning at each other. Mind you, its where managers earn their corn with a HT team talk thats going to get a reaction, could be Hughtons weak point, one of them anyway.

What is it they call Moyes on the Chelsea board? Mediocre Mourinho was very close to suffering the same fate that United did but they had a ridiculous penalty decision save them. Maybe Mourinho is Fergie's heir after all!

West Brom. A team that has already beaten United at Old Trafford and taken a point off Arsenal having made them look ordinary.

It's not like we were playing Palace or Cardiff.
 
It is looking like a toss-up between Hughton and Jol as to which one will be the first to be sacked.

My money is on Jol going first.
 
Mourinho's reaction to the penalty decision sums up why I really couldn't care less if one of our players dives anymore. There's too many hypocrites and blurred lines to let it upset you.

I'd go as far as to say if one of our players dives and they win a penalty I'll celebrate it and credit them for good play, there's no sense trying to get involved in this high horse, point scoring crap.

I'm also glad AVB's never succumbed to the pressure to strongly criticise diving, play acting, etc as we've seen two managers who did take a tough line embarrass themselves this week by claiming that 2 blatant dives were penalties. I'd rather our manager remained realistic about diving.

So? United have a manager who you think is way out of his depth, surely you can't judge yourselves by them?
 
Thats a fantastic free kick from Snodgrass, Hughtons done his job at HT by the look of it...just when i said he wouldn't! fair play, I do like the look of west ham fans faces now! :D

Hopefully that buys Hughton some more time.

As much as I wish Jol all the best I can understand Fulham fans wanting Jol out, getting whippings against the top teams is one thing but they've only beaten what is now the bottom 3. He must be very close to the tin tack at the moment.
 
It's nice to see that Mourinho is still the same classless, shameless twat that he's always been.
Kept a straight face while moaning about the ref too, so I guess his acting has improved, even if he's lost his air of invulnerability.
I'm sure that his behaviour will be overlooked by both the authorities and large sections of the media, though.
 
Palace, Fulham and Wet Spam to go down? Spurs Arsenal and Chelsea in the top four? definitely a game of two halves, top half and bottom half.
 
I must say I'm shocked that the referee giving what may just be the most disgraceful decision I've ever seen was Marriner. What I mean is, I've seen worse penalties given (not too many) but none that makes more of a mockery of the idea of fair competition. An absolute non-foul in the last few seconds of the last minute of extra time, to preserve Mourinho's undefeated record at Stamford Bridge? Really? It looks like Marriner and Chelsea were negotiating his bribe package before agreeing to one under deadline pressure.

Their midfield and CB's are not good enough to shine against the big teams. But their front two and Coutinho are going to carry on destroying teams like Fulham, so I can see them picking up a lot of points. They are going to very very close to the top four this season.

I see it similarly. Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho are just about as good at producing goals as anyone in the PL, but the rest of the squad is not at the same level. I'll want to see how they react to losing form before I'll be sure they'll be in or near the top four at the end of the year, though.
 
Maureen didnt even have the grace to say " i dunno , i didnt see it . "

What a fucking clown .

To stand there , straight faced and say what every football fan in the uk KNOWS is total bollox .

I really hope you lot win tomorow and wipe the smile of the smug tw@ts face .

:grin:

They turned it round. I fancied them to hit back and best West Ham. Had them down for 2-1 in SD's league so didn't need that third goal!

We had definitive proof that Chelsea are better than (Champions) Utd. Utd lost 2-1 at home to WBA and were unable to salvage a draw with a dubious penalty in the last minute of injury time. However, Chelsea did manage a draw. The title favourites are now a massive 4 points ahead having played a game more. Mourinho really is the special one. So far, only a couple of blips at Newcastle & Everton, a great performance by Joe Hart to beat City in the last few minutes and great showings in the tough fixtures against Hull, Villa, Cardiff, Fulham & Norwich. And wasn't that all out attacking display at Old Trafford something to behold?
