Bloody massive win for the Bees tonight.

That and Chelsea being totally outclassed makes it all rather satisfactory.

 

[GIMH]

Was made up to see you lot win. Bizarre that we couldn't beat Walsall at home yet nobody else in the top six won either so we remain top. Much better away than home at the minute we are.

 

[Pothas]

Beat Stevenage on Saturday please.

Then we beat Sheffield United, Bees go into play-offs, you get a nce little gap at the top, everyone happy.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Football. Bloody hell.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I hate football, fancy letting MK Mongs get a point with another bloody late goal. All those late ones are going to send us down.

8 points dropped by conceding in the 87th minute or later so far this season. Gutting.

 

[duffer]

I don't understand Chelsea. Even if they do get Pep this is a joke, they're right in the mix challenging for the title and he won them the Champions League last season.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Roman does what Roman wants and to hell with everyone else.

 

[Uppercut]

He's rightly determined that an Axis of Evil needs a much less likeable figurehead.

 

[fredfertang]

Word on the street seems to be that Benitez will get the nod, on the basis he'll inspire Torres - sounds a bit far fetched to me

 

[Cabinet96]

Disgraceful.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah Benitez until the end of the season it would seem, thought he wanted attacking football?

I really hope Pep tells them to **** off in the summer.

 

[Uppercut]

Disgraceful.

Haha I love how much sympathy managers get to go with their ridiculous payout packages. Really takes the edge of "the sack" when your boss has to pay you a few million to go away.

 

[Pothas]

Di Matteo does not seem a self-delusional sort either; he knew that they never really wanted him. In less than two year has gone from being a manager fired by West Brom to a Champions League winner with a much larger bank balance.

 

[grecian]

Well, not sure what they'll do now, rumours are that Luiz and Torres are Roman's fave players and he likes them to play. If this is true they're not going to get a top-class manager, so 'arry or rafa it is.

LOL

 

[Eds]

Absolute joke.

Disagree that Rafa isn't a top manager, btw.

Who will surely walk into many more jobs across europe because he has won a Champions League. italian clubs will be in for him now you would think.

I agree with all this, TBH. Felt the same with Avram Grant, who TBH had a better Champions League campaign, but for one scuff.

They were always stop-gap, they were never really wanted long-term, I doubt Benitez is either.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Anything to keep Torres in the side, one feels.

Right, Citeh have got 20 minutes for a winner. Will they do it?
