There was pretty much anywhere along the face of the goal that it could have gone in, it was a complete 1 on 1 right in front of the net. Reina wasn't too far off, and if he did his homework, he might think RvP would be going for the far post.
It would have been a great stop if Reina kept it out. I can't fault him too much, but I really wish he would have managed to keep it out.
Think that's harsh, all the credit should go to RVP I think and considering Reina probably didn't imagine he'd try that, let alone pull it off so perfectly we can cut him a little slack!
I only noticed RVP had side footed it on MOTD last night, I thought he'd hit it with his laces ala the Everton goal. Just makes it all the more impressive technically for me.
dejavu :lol
Heck, I never wanted to get rid of Houllier. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would have hired the manager of our rivals who just got that team relegated...

Pogrebnyak has now scored more goals for Fulham in 5 weeks than Torres has for Chelsea in 13 months.
Apparently he wanted a permanent deal but Fulham didn't want to risk it:

Sacking AVB is a disgrace.
Roman is learning nothing, and neither are those fucking pricks Gourlay and Buck.
AVB needed a new team and to have the control to exert over his team not people consistently in his way.
That said, Di Matteo is the best choice for me right now. He's been a manager before, has the relationship with the players and assuming he gets on well with them all then I think he could be successful.
Im also hoping he acknowledges the important of picking the right team. Romeu should be well ahead of Mikel and perhaps even a bit ahead Essien as he's an excellent young prospect.
Bosingwa needs shipping out and to never play for us again.
Im hopeful that this could be a decent move in the end even if I wish AVB had stayed.
Also be interesting to see how he lines up the team with Torres/Drogba.

Your hate for Torres is becoming more like an obsession.
If that went in it would of been a contender for goal of the season. Suarez in a nut shell though, Moments of world class football followed by a weak finish.
Looks like he was slipping when he took the shot.
Then they must hate Adam Johnson and Nasri.
José Mourinho
cocknose
I'm eagerly awaiting to see the team he puts out on Tuesday. How Bobby Di sets up his squad will probably reflect what he thought of AVBs style and tactics.
Shots fired.

It's possible given the side he picked. We should be looking to control the middle of the pitch, not shut it down.
It's all Mancini mind games.
But seriously, the game's yours. Without Captain Scotty* and Bale I can't see Spurs containing you or hitting you on the counter.
*god save the queen
Agreed. Is Huddlestone injured?

Strikers who come from the Bundesliga to England have been doing extremely well. They get sold at cheap prices too.
We share the same hate.
They are interesting since they are basically the only City players atm who are underperforming. Johnson is so useless against premium opposition. Sure he get one assist or goal here and there (like yesterday), but he's invisible so much of the matches. Nasri was alright yesterday. Better than before but still nowhere good as I thought he would be.
Johnson also made dat dive which I obviously dislike very much.
The football is the only thing that is keeping my mind off wanting to jump off a cliff. This toothache is the worst pain I've ever felt. My god I want to punch someone in the throat right now. It's a wisdom tooth as well and the dentist and hospital were made aware of it months ago and I'm STILL WAITING for the fucking surgery date. Fucking cunts. I've ran out of fucking ideas on how to help take the pain away apart from nearly overdosing on painkillers. :lol
It's a dificult question. I mean, we haven't been doing a good season, though we won 2.3 at benfica's stadium two days ago and we are now in the first place of the league again. If our coach wins the league I guess he'll stay one more year. But I can see AVB coming back in 1 or 2 years. Our president has been talking to him a lot lately, he was at City's stadium and was at our stadium last week too. Only speculations are possible now...
Wait, hate?
Dude I have a mancrush on him. And I said he can't do anything WITH THE CURRENT CHELSEA TEAM, as in, you know, the shit service he gets.
What? What country do you live in?
