congrats locke i'm pretty happy for arsenals start. in the end i'm happy as long as united and liverpool dont win the title but it's nice to see the gunners do well considering know one gave them a chance.

Yeah, this is one of the sweetest derby's in years.
Tottenham spend several hundred millions and all summer we have to put up with all this "Tottenham will overthrow Arsenal" shite.
Now its 13 points in 5 games and 11 PL matches unbeaten.
10 goals in 5 games.

Holy SH1T look at Mourinho's face!

Sell Ronaldo, buy Fabregas.

By the way, have I told you how much I love you arivan?

Now only if we could sell him by the kilo. By the way, have I told you how much I love you arivan?

PS: And yes... Chelsea IS MISSING Robben.

Just watching the North London derby highlights.. Robinson made horrible attempts on the first two goals.

-He tried to punch the ball away, but was beaten to it by Adebayour.
-Taking nothing away from Fabregas' striker, but he was beaten to his right, and used his left hand to try and save it. 

The 3rd was a tremendous goal, nothing could have been done about that.

3 words: Carson for England or James for England. Just not Robbo. 

Gotta agree with you there, but remember that Adebayor is one of the physically most intimidating players in the league. I think Robinson hoped his defenders would clear it, paniced and just threw himself forward.
Cesc's goal was great indeed, but I think Robinson expected him to pass it on to Adebayor or Van Persie, as Fabregas is more of a passer than a long distance shooter.
The third goal, well...

And Jol  I mean, has he been showed the door yet (wouldn't u like that )

Nah, he can stay.
I'd rather have Jol farting around WHL than some sort of proper manager.
Well, now its Sevilla on wednesday, really looking forward to it.

Very annoying game today.

We need a real finisher in our team, we should have won comfortabley, should is a big word in football though. Credit to Citeh.

Carew is useless. Too bad, I actually lost some money because of them.

Carew is useless.

Football was the winner at the City Ground when Leicester gifted Nottingham Forest a goal but still won their Carling Cup clash.

Three weeks earlier the original game between the sides was abandoned after Leicester defender Clive Clarke collapsed in the dressing room at half-time.

Forest were leading 1-0 at the time and when the game was played again, Leicester insisted that they gift the home side their goal advantage.

From the kick-off Leicester stood to one side to allow goalkeeper Paul Smith to stroll through and give Forest back their lead.

Leicester boss Gary Megson said: "It was something that the chairman, chief executive and myself decided two or three days ago.

"We felt it was morally right for us to come here and start 1-0 behind in reacting to what went on three weeks ago.

"As a football club we felt it was the right way to behave and it was a gesture meant in the spirit of the game.

Honourable

"I had a chat with Forest manager Colin Calderwood 20 minutes before the kick-off to explain what we had in mind but it was kept very quiet until just before the start.

"Obviously, it turned out right for us because we have made the gesture and ended up winning the game and going through to a very attractive tie against Aston Villa next week."

Colin Calderwood added: "Leicester felt it was the correct thing to do and I must admit it took us back a little bit to start with.

"But it was an honourable gesture and I would like to think that football in general has come out of the game as the winner.

"I think the crowd took it in the spirit that it was intended but I can't help but feel disappointed and hurt that we didn't go on to win the game.

Marvellous

"I thought Leicester were better than us in the first half but we produced a marvellous performance in the second and we were within touching distance of going through.

"But football has a habit of biting your backside and that is what has happened again for us when we conceded two goals in the last three minutes.

"We were very good last season at not leaking late goals and it is something we have got to sort out."

After Smith's 'walk-through' opener, Leicester equalised from an Alan Sheehan free-kick on the half-hour and looked as though they might take a grip on the game.

But Nathan Tyson restored Forest's lead in the 64th minute when he moved on to a pass from Kris Commons to beat Marton Fulop.

At that stage it looked as though Forest would go through but their former manager had the last word when he got his first victory as Leicester boss thanks to two goals in the last three minutes.

Richard Stearman forced home an 87th-minute equaliser and in the last minute skipper Stephen Clemence pounced on a loose ball to score from 20 yards.

If it's true then Abramovic is a real idiot! If he resigned then I lost some respect for him...

In any case, it's something that shouldn't have happened!

(Anyone want to take odds on how long it is before Jose ends up coaching the Merda?)

It's official.

"Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent."

Looks as if the 1-1 draw at home with perennial CL minnows Rosenborg was the final straw. I can't say I'm too heartbroken.

But why is Sheva being associated with his departure?

I don't think Mourinho resigning should even come into question. There are very few players on the planet who connect with their team like Jose does with Chelsea. I'm 100% certain he was sacked, Abramovich expects to win everything. 

I think it will be good for Chelsea. There were a lot of tension between Mourinho and some players, Mourinho and Abramovic and the whole atmosphere in the club was hurting the team. Even the Balack issue: how can you leave player like that outside of champions league squad while the reason he came to Chelsea is in order to win the CL and his s   They need somebody to make some order in the team.  Plus it will be good for Sheva

although i do think this is very good for sheva. i'm sure the neww coach will play with a 4-4-2 with sheva as a SS and now a winger/wide forward

Can't honestly say I like this one bit. I was looking forward to Carletto vs Mourinho this season.

My odds are he's gonna go Barca, esp if Rijkaard keeps throwing up this kind of results.

Will be fun to see where Porty stands if this happens.

Big loss for the EPL. Not only the Chelsea but all the other fans will miss him (even the United, Liverpool and Arsenal ones).
