20 Spurs 21 20 -6

Damn, a promising set of results have all gone downhill now.

I was convinced we were going to lose today. Keep pressure on Arsenal and leapfrog Chelsea, if they don't sneak a winner

As you said it was always... inevitable

FUCKING HELL!

Chelsea score.

Hull City XI: Myhill, Doyle, Turner, Ricketts, Kilbane, Mendy, France, Ashbee, Halmosi, Geovanni, Cousin

Arsenal XI: Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Djourou, Clichy, Eboue, Diaby, Denilson, Nasri, van Persie, Adebayor

Fuck me and the day gets worse

I only turned the tele on five minutes ago and this shit happens

Chelsea = c**ts

Deflected lampard goal off ballack's back

Really feel bad for Stoke! Really feel great for my FF team (Lampard captain!).

Them Chelsea players busting their ass off for Scolari FFS!

It's nearly 5 o'clock, how much injury time was there? About 15 minutes?

Their match started late.

---------Almunia
Sagan Kolo Djourou Clichy
Eboue Denilson Diaby Nasri
---------RVP
----------Ade

or hopefully Nasri centrally

It's nice to become a Capello team....

I knew that would happen, seriously I would of put 100 quid on it. Why can't teams just fucking park the bus at the end like they do against us.

Shite game that Chelsea-Stoke, but exciting nevertheless due to all the drama surrounding the Blues of late. Have a good day fellows. Later on I will be watching my man Vargas against Milan.

Perhaps other teams are just better at getting past buses

We gave one of the most gutless second half performances I've seen, certainly not helped by Styles's ridiculous penalty decision (Styles simply shouldn't be allowed to referee), but we just allowed Blackburn to come at us all half. Our midfield was absolutely useless. The defence fell apart over the course of the half.

The penalty was undeserved, though by it came we were looking very much second best. Butt's second yellow was probably deserved - he'd committed a number of fouls during the game, received his first yellow, then clearly blocked a Blackburn player off. He then kicked the ball away after having been shown the red. Jason Roberts should have been sent off during the game, but he only received a yellow late on - he spent the whole game all over our defenders, giving away fouls then moaning, or flinging up his hands in prayer, or having a laugh with the referee, all the time protesting his innocence; then his partner dived for the penalty; and that was the game up.

Barton had a go at Enrique after we conceded our third - he actually picks on Enrique quite a lot, and often shouted at him last season when they both played down our left hand side - and he had to be pulled away by Given. I hope Enrique shatters his leg in training tomorrow, or whenever we bother to train as a team in the future. Barton did nothing when he came on; Enrique had a decent first half, but was as bad as everyone else in the second.

The only hope is that this result absolutely forces us to buy in this window - but I rather see Given leaving us, Owen trying to escape if he possibly can, maybe another surprise sale on top of this, and a few loans and maybe a cheap purchase comprising our only incomings. According to Kinnear, we were supposed to have two loan signings available for today's match - only for him to reveal a few days after suggesting this that we've never seen these potential loanees in action, and they're actually going to play a training match for us on Tuesday.

To be fair Bolton were playing more deep and defensive in the last 5 minutes, it took one moment of brilliance to break the deadlock, the way Man Utd played today never expected them to score.

FUCK

Newcastle & Boro are useless.

Shame about Stoke as well, even though if the had won we'd be in an even worse position. Kinda like my personal equivalent of having a threesome with Emmanuelle Chriqui & Shannyn Sossamon then discovering that we were all related the next day.

Come on Hull

Have money on a RVP goal, better fucking score

Chelsea needed that. They really did.

RVP better score a long overdue hattrick. at least 1 should be a freekick, because those have been poor lately

Hey, Boro, did you know...that since you beat us on November 9th, you haven't won and we haven't lost. I thought you'd love that stat

Brilliant save from Myhill to tip Van Persie's freekick onto the bar. We're playing poorly though.

Adebayor scores now, rising well at a corner.

Adebayor 1-0
