Kudos

We lost the league officially by drawing with the Arse. 1-0 down at half-time, 10 men against 11, but still outplayed them in the second half. The fighting spirit displayed was the best I've ever seen, and that's saying something considering the number of last minute goals we've scored under JM. JM and players went over to the singing fans afterwards, and there were plenty of hugs. Best 45 mins I've seen all season. Wish that spirit could have been there against the Scousers.

Nothing but respect from Chelsea fans for Manure's title win. Going out in Europe to the Scousers was unbearable precisely because they aren't worthy opponents. No coincidence that the two CL finalists are both not champions and are about 20 points behind this year's probable champions in their respective domestic leagues. Was hoping Manure could beat Milan and then go on to embarrass the Scousers in the final, but it was not to be.

Will be a great FA Cup final. Could not face better opponents. I would not be ashamed of losing to this Manure side.
