Well happy with our xmas fixtures performance, can't wait for united to visit us. The next 3 fixtures all look winnable, just got to hope Arsenil and City drop some points in the meantime and then we just can't lose at the etihad!
Feel sorry for Walcott too the poor lad, looks like he's missing the end of the season and the World Cup. Just after hitting decent form too.

Agreed feel bad for Walcott. Seems a genuinely nice guy, plus his sign to the spurs fans was quality, Made me smile.

Yeah he's obviously got a sense of humour! I was hoping he would keep form up to the world cup.

Sorry can't agree about Walcott, that could have been us he was giving a 2-0 to. I don't think you would have been smiling then. I personally don't like players who bait opposition supporters. As for Walcott and England he has flattered to deceive as he has done very little. Bit like John Barnes he had one good game and scored, rest of time you sit waiting for something that never comes.
I doubt he is smirking now he is out for six months. But there will be 5000 spurs supporters and one Chelsea supporter who are

But Andrew, you forget one thing. It WASN'T us, and NO ONE likes Spurs!

Andrew you sound like bit of a softy mate, It's just banter I wouldn't take it personally, even if I was a spurs fan. That's football, you dish it out and you take it from time to time. At the end of the day he's a good lad and doesn't deserve to miss the World Cup.

We really need a CDM who can pass the ball someone like a luka-modric and a yaya toure and a xavi alonso type of player.

Can anyone actually explain why people here don't like Mikel? It top form at the minute and one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

{Ed018's Note - he's been playing good lately and I'm usually one of his biggest critics. I wish he could player that killer ball more often though. That's what he lacks. He did pick out Eto nicely today but for some reason Eto forgot how to run, he should've been in on goal}
Here's my reasons; he slows play down way too much, wants too much time and generally takes too many touches on the ball, his passes are generally sideways or backwards. Things are made worse when he is paired with Lampard as it has such a negative effect on our speed (particularly in transition). Mikel looks the part against weaker opposition and has looked good at times with the right partner in midfield.
One of the reasons I liked the van Ginkel signing was that his first thought on the ball seems to be of a progressive nature (i.e. looking for a forward pass or to transition at speed). Just my opinion though.

Im a huge sell Mikel fan however I will admit he has played well the last few games, seems to be moving the ball forward more. Not ideal but as a stop gap he is good at what he does.
