Rafael is a walking talking red card, better take him off now of you want to finish the game with 11 men on the pitch.

I like Drogba, al lot but my lord is he slow...

anyone a good stream for the match? im a bit illiterate in this field and being lost in popups

One for @cliveo

He fucked up. That shirt's for the reverse fixture...

#Feelslikeawin special ones 2nd goal reaction, priceless

I'll take that

enjoyed watching the big game in pisti's local in N1 with clintsmoker. had to send a few of the late plastics scampering to the side to keep prime view of the action. fair result. chelski should have had a penatly. hazard should have scored. courtois motm but de gea made some cracking saves.

fabregas and mata cancelled each other out.

we have to get rid of rafael. rvp motm for me.

2 points between the top 5 in Spain at the moment, which hasn't happened for a while. That belies the fact that Real are on a massive roll at the minute, but at least the top leagues in Europe are being shaken up a bit.

Dortmund lost again, that's four defeats in a row and five in their last six. Hipster manager is in trouble.

What is going on at spurs?

Shakes head...

A new manager is still failing to get the most out of £110 million worth of average players.

Not sure how we can be so dominant, against an admittedly acquiescent Newcastle, and then bottle it in the 2nd half. More of this and I'll slip into an @dan pessimistic funk

@Buckaroo same could be said for your lot an all

True, but I'd say some of ours are above average ;)

I see Fernando hasn't lost his touch...

plus ours cost a load more than £110m...we're out-pissing-our-pounds-away anyone in the league right now.

Aside from the usual?

He'll be sacked by May

I know Mourinho has returned and all that, but wondering what would have happened if he'd been left alone to manage Chelsea...

Roberto Di Matteo wouldn't have won the Champions League for them.

AVB might never have managed Spurs.

AVB, Di Matteo and Rafa wouldn't be filthy rich from their payoffs.

Maybe Ronaldo is just making everyone look good by scoring 2 a game but Sid Lowe couldn't spin that into 2000 words so with a deadline looming, carefully selected his evidence and mashed it together to form the aforementioned article that I can't be bothered to read.

Chelsea had Torres to make everyone else look good.

Doesn't get any bigger on a Monday night than QPR v Villa. Fuck me.
