Fabregas slipped deliberately after toe-poking the ball past Targett, then left a trailing leg to try and con the ref into giving a pen. Stonewall yellow for diving.

That was a clear dive. Fabregas tapped it past Targett, then kicked his shin against him on the follow through. If he'd thought he had any chance of making something from the situation he'd have stayed on his feet. Fair play to the ref for booking him for the dive.

Fixed.

2-1 chelski. Late winner against the 2nd half run of play, after we went in at half time 1-0 down then equalised on 49 minutes from a JWP corner. Sorry I can't be more specific.

A bold statement, sir.

Here's a bad joke for your christmas cracker: My Chinese neighbour just offered me seasonal greetings. "Thanks," I said, "but there's no L in Christmas." Merry Christmas, I'll get my coat.

Very good.

Also, his name sounds a little like "al jazeera". That's got to go against him before he kicks a ball for us.

Quick edit for you there, turks.

EXTERMINATE......EXTERMINATE.....

Very harsh assessment when you consider that both teams had 3 shots on target, we scored 3 goals, and Forster made 3 absolutely terrific saves. MOTM for me.

Perhaps Graeme Le Saux could offer an opinion?

Yep, Big Ron said exactly that about Toby. And it seems a bit odd to start a sentence with "we are interested" and then say we can't afford him. Not that I think the signing is likely to happen, just seems an odd way of putting it.

I'm not sure anybody could afford Balotelli, and I don't mean financially.

This. Big Ron hasn't played up our CL chances all season, and if anything has played down any undue over optimism.

Oh, the irony.

To be fair, it wasn't just saints fans talking him up for the england job. While we were shooting up the leagues, he was perceived pretty widely in the press as the great young hope for england.

Thats really not the case. If we'd been played off the park while dropping those points, you could say "ok, we're sh*t". But we weren't, and we aren't. We are in a bad run, but we've given arsenal and man u a run for their money, (even van gaal said they were lucky to win,) and from what I saw of todays game we were basically undone by a penalty miss. In fact, the only game of the last 4 where we've looked outclassed was citeh. Also like to add that Pelle is not suddenly terrible. He's not had a lot of service, which is understandable given the disruption to our midfield, but when he's had any sort of sniff he has held up play well and distributed well. He also seems to give a f*ck, look at the way he shoved boyd over the touchline when he was buying some time near the end.

Anything is legal Bear, as long as you dont film them/have any witnesses/silence the other participant(s). My old grandad told me that so it must be true.

Russell Brand deserves recognition for his contributions to comedy, literature, fashion, politics and philosophy. I'm hoping he'll soon get a title. Preferably "The Late".
