Personally I'd want us to have a go at Brendan Rogers, he has Chelsea connections and hes doing a great job at Swansea this year. Wouldn't also mind going for Paul Lambert who is also doing a great job at Norwich. There teams have also played great football this year so if that's what Roman wants

This is of course if we go for some fresh blood rather than an old timer such as Cappello or Mourinho (who is my preference).

lol good save by Adebayor

[Slava]

jones is having a stinker.

That Fulham front 3 were awesome tonight. Dempsey will get some good offers in the summer.

Edit: Rooney scores!

A little harsh for Tottenham, but should set up an interesting 2nd half

[IronChef]

Wow

[IronChef]

Modric didn't track at all, poor clearance by Walker, nice finish by Young.

[MaliBrah]

united is getting hammered. This is a bit like yesterdays arsenal and liverpool game ahaha

[IronChef]

Awesome that Adebayors dive for a pen wasn't given then they go down the other end and do that.

[jerrod]

if this holds up, spurs are only 4 points up on arsenal

[jerrod]

wow ashley young is having a hell of a week

[Slava]

Ashley Young, take a bow!

[IronChef]

Their best team in 50 years only four points up on our worst in 15. So much for the supposed power shift in North London.

[treiz]

Saw that comig as soon as he got the ball, where was the closing down?

Great finish by Young nonetheless

[treiz]

This is very reminiscent of the Arsenal game, Tottenham concede just before half time despite playing better than the opposition then completely crumble in the 2nd half

The only thing strange about this year's Arsenal team is that instead of starting strong and then crumbling as the season progresses, they're doing the opposite. And given Spurs' recent run of fixtures, to be honest I felt like it was only a matter of time.

[Slava]

Funny that Liverpool paid 4 million more to chose the wrong winger from Villa.

[Baphomet]

Defoe makes the scoreline a little less embarrassing. That's a pretty nice finish.

edit: Except Evra is in my fantasy team and now I don't get a clean sheet bonus

least shocking headline of the day - AVB Sacked!!!.

so now what happens? nothing will really change at chelsea until the veterans have moved on.

di matteo favors a 4-5-1, right? what changes might we see in the upcoming weeks? certainly he wont just trot out the same 4-3-3 and expect anything to be different. that 4-3-3 hasnt worked in 2 years for two different managers. sure its too late in the year for a massive tactical overhaul, but i do hope he makes some needed tweaks.

and i really hope this puts an end to bosingwa and meireles.

who will he favor as lead striker? drogba, torres, sturridge or (gasp) lukaku?

will lamps go back to being an automatic every game, every minute player? lets hope not. he can bitch and moan about wanting to play, but lets face it, lamps has been poor as many times as he has been good this year.

we need a massive roster change this summer to get some fresh blood introduced to this team. take away all that player power.

I think the one player that AVB's system did good for was Sturridge, he's really been great as the right forward in that 4-3-3 system. Now if Di Matteo opts to either slot him on the right wing or as a center forward I think Sturridge will not be as effective as he's been lately.
