Teams around us drop points.

We can't beat sodding Rochdale.

Megson out!! oh... wait. :p

TBH I wouldn't haven't replaced him with Dave Jones given his track record in the playoffs with Cardiff, should have at least waited until the end of the season.

First match i've seen leeds lose in a long time where i've gone away feeling fairly positive about it, by far the better team and if that's a sign of the improvements warnock has been making then there is only good things to come for us :)

Referee was dreadful though.

I could have scored the goal he did.

How are you top of the league :confused:

Mainly because we were playing a lot lot better football in the first half of the season.

Currently we're just very lucky to still be there, though given West Ham have games in hand, I don't really see it as being 'truly' top until they're back on the same number of games.

Really need to sort out our away form if we want to still be there by the end of the season.

No shouldn't have won, lots of fairly positive play from Leeds but everything is on snodgrass and your lone striker. On that performance top 10 and warnock should sort the side out, not really not a automatic promotion team at all... Plus you had no answer for lee or lambert

Not true. If you're failing, but have a demonstrable plan for fixing the losses, they can say it's fine. If you're blatantly taking the proverbial, they're going to be far less lenient.

Since when? at the moment you should be averaging 15mil loss a year, Chelsea are around the 70-80mil mark and that won't come down very far anytime soon. League, it doesn't effect at all, Europe, they are looking like not being in the champs league with this squad, so they are failing to get in the champs league most likely, almost certainly won't get back to competing for the title without major investment. Lose 80mil a year, or 350mil one year, its still miles out. lose call it 70mil a year, 3 years, 210mil, buy a new 10mil player for 11 positions, 110mil, is 300mil REALLy that different to 200mil, when the limit for losses is.... 45mil?

Chelsea have no plan for fixing the losses, I tell a lie, they've had a plan, for 8 years, that has failed miserably and completely.

That's the point they are failing, BIG, with no way they can pretend they won't fail. So fail while trying to reduce costs and still get banned from their Europa cup slot, or spend a crapload, win the league, don't play in Europe at all.

Of course, that ignores the likely potential sponsorships some of the big teams FFP threatens might suddenly conjure up out of nowhere.

Chelsea simply don't have the income, largely due to stadium capacity and lack of corporate facilities, to help run a team with wages that large. To cut down wages dramatically they need to sell half the squad and buy another half a squad, which won't be cheap and how are you going to get great players on cheap wages.

Chelsea are boned, without cheating like City are trying to do, and it might not work for them either.

I don't think a Southampton fan can criticise us going through our best player :p Plus we have the second top scorer in the league in McCormack so we don't rely soley Snoddy and Becchio at all. Becchio was winning everything in the air vs your defence, we just had a REALLY unlucky day. Lambert was in our defences back pocket for the whole game despite the blunder that eventually cost us.
 
Watching those Chelsea highlights and god is Sturridge wasteful, now I can see the reason why no one trusts him to actually play as a striker and they stick him on the wing :p
 
It will be interesting to see who picks up Al-Habsi. Granted he conceded 2 today but he has made some great saves this season.

Would like to see Moses at a better club as well. Really rate him.
 
I got home from work and watched the Arsenal match... Szczesny should be man of the match, IMO. But I would like to know why people have criticised RVP? He's being paid to score as a striker, and he's doing that considerably better at that job than anyone else in the league.

Also Liverpool fans; yes, Suarez ran arsenals defence ragged, RVP didn't yours... Remind me again, which player scored 2 goals? (: Also tummy, at least you didn't lose! I'm starting to get a bit sick of Saturdays :P
 
As a lifelong Liverpool fan . . .

. . . I have supported Suarez despite his outrageous "Hand Of God" and apparent racism but I couldn't believe his dive in the Arsenal game.

Frankly, we deserved to lose after that. All credit to Szczesny, great saves; I wonder if Kuyt messed up his penalty deliberately?
