Premiership weekend discussion and banter...

Lose to Spurs and as Jose says 'Title race is over' .. unlikely to happen, but even a draw would be bad if Manchester United take 3pts against Pompey.

what made me smile

John Terry - "Manchester United are doing well, there's no denying that, but anything can happen and they've still got to come to our place."

He might not know about the re-arranged game .. if Manchester United win their next 5 games .. the title is won at Man City .. so when they play Chelsea, they be Champions

Would Chelsea do a 'guard of honour' like Manchester United 2 seasons ago ? i know Jose has a lot of respect for SAF, so could be possible.

Maybe in terms of goal difference, but as Jose would say "mathematically it's still possible". If United have an off day and we win 8-0, we may just about be ahead on goal difference, and then if they lose their last game of the season... title = ours

Anyway, back to reality. I think John O'Shea won the title for United with his goal at Liverpool. If I was a United fan, I'd certainly make him Player of the Season, and if I were a member of the Manchester Community Council, I'd give him the freedom of the city.

John O'Shea is nothing more than a cult hero.

He can play in defence, midfield and in goal.

I certainly wish he was English.

Just got back very unhappy with SP playing one upfront, it was very negative and we should have gone for it. Mpenza played very well and need to sign him up asap.

Good god no!

I'd still take him over Gerrard mind

Naughty naughty Jamie.

The schedule has made it next to impossible for us to prepare for this one properly.

I expect Defoe, Ghaly & Mido to all come into the side today. Lennon & Zokora really should be rested.

2-0 Chelsea

Pretty strong seeing as your real aim this week is in Spain

Need to win if we have any chance of winning the title (in all honesty, I don't think we do, but you never know. I remember United chasing and catching Newcastle when nobody thought it was possible - and that was 12 points)

Anyway, in midweek I don't think Ferreira, Bridge, Makelele, Wright-Phillips and Kalou will start, so that's almost half the team (instead we will play Diarra, A Cole, Essien (if fit - if not Joe Cole), Ballack and Shevchenko)

Spurs:

01 Robinson
07 Stalteri
20 Dawson
33 Rocha
02 Chimbonda
08 Jenas
06 Tainio
14 Ghaly
15 Malbranque
11 Mido
18 Defoe

The Uefa strikers rested?

Berbatov's on the bench. Keane not in the squad.

that's one of the worst Spurs line-ups fielded this season.

Chelsea to win. Kalou to score.

Wright-Phillips has got Chimbonda on toast.

Nothing on for me yet either so try again around 3.

That is one of the worst 45 minutes of football I've seen this season.

you clearly didnt watch city vs charlton yesterday...

I did, the first half was shocking, almost as bad. The second was pretty much end to end and a big improvement.
