Not really all that pleased to be playing a useful CCC side at their patch. We'll see how seriously Roy takes the Cup when we don't have 2.5 weeks off after.

 

Thanks for the perspective! It's good to remind ourselves of this from time to time!

 

They played against 10 men for a while as a Burnley defender got a second card.

Belle, it is lovely to see you back.


What's a hockey?

 

PFA recommend 3-match ban for Dog-Breath

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story ... nd&cc=5901

First he taunts the Burnley fans after scoring [is this part of Chelsea training? Remember Fat Frank taunting our fans after scoring two seasons ago?], and then he appears to hurl a missile into the crowd.

Feck the Scum. I didn't think anyone could have less class than Lumphard and Terry and Cashley Cole, but DogBreath seems to have proved me wrong.

Scolari: you have too much class for these assholes. Hope you get a job with a real club soon.

 

Metropolitan Police, with the assistance of Burnley and Chelsea FC, will be reviewing the spy-cams. Rest assured that the person who threw stuff onto the pitch will be banned for life and probably fined. This happens all the time.

The last time a player through something at the terraces, he was hit with a 3-match ban. Drogba should get at least that, and a healthy fine to boot. He had about 80% of the stands to celebrate in front of, and he chose to incite the Burnley supporters. He's the instigator here.

 

and an even better chance of getting out of the bottom three! :twisted:

 

With Burnley and Derby County [?] already in the semi finals, it's possible for the "final four" to be three CCC squads and one CCC squad elect! The Spuds are away at Watford to play The Cheesehead and the rest of the Dirty Yellows, and Blackburn are at Old Trafford.

Harry is fielding a full-strength side, but are down a goal after 15 minutes. Sir Alex has benched many of his regulars, but pretty much everyone in red is some sort of international. Paul Ince has the same fine players that can't get a result for him in the league.

Who will make it to Wembley for the semis?
