I did not understand what you were talking about Loz - could you re-write this using the football pitch, players on both teams, a goal, a football, linesmen and a ref for your example and I might get it.

I am going to my local British pub to watch this a week Saturday with 2 of my daughters. The publican is a scouse but it's known as a Chelsea pub. Perfect I can get one of my daughters who is under 21 (can't legally drink) to be the designated driver and I can have a few drinks.

I wonder if Christian Gross who managed Spurtz is available?

not desperately, love early Floyd Meddle, Relics, Atom Heart Mother, Saucerful of Secrets.

I read that England's effort came in last with 10 points. It must have had a few nil points.

right there with you bjd, did not like Floyd after DSOTM, and I cannot stand Queen, even to the point of switching radio stations if Queen get played.

and I thought this was about Sarah Ferguson - well she is in the news today trying to sell access to Randy Andy.

Stride I used to love it when I was a kiddie in the 60s but it's been so crap for the past 30 or so years I cannot believe it's been going so long. Terry Wogan used to make it bearable for his sarcastic remarks.

Avram Grant has resigned from Portsmouth and has been holding talks with the Spammers.

yes send it back - the Megastore can always sell it to LFC at a discount to show them what it is to win the League

great pics, that's something we've never seen before - 2 special cups together.

Englishman that's a great point, we are experiencing our history right now. And to be honest we started experiencing this history 13 years ago with the first FA cup win in 26 years and have built from there. If you think about it, only the Manks, Arse and us are still winning either the league or most of the major English trophies in the recent past, with Arsenal being in decline the last 5 years or so. Dippers, Everton, and Tottenham have not dominated consistently. We were so poor 20 years ago we were not even part of the Big 5. We are nobody's darlings and we just have to put up with that, even revel in that. Who cares? We are answering them with trophies.

so this was funny I'm in the pub in Florida near the beach, it's all Chelsea and the game has just kicked off. A couple of middle aged yanks walk in and wonder what on earth is going on when they spot a sea of blue drunken Brits. A bloke says, come on in ladies, it's just some strange English tribal stuff going on. They look at the big screen and one says ' is this soccer or cricket??' Priceless

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...es.html?image=4 this is a great pic

happy as a pig in doodoo. phoned my dad right after the whistle blew and he said he's waited 81 years for the double.

I am nervous because I want that elusive double and nothing else will do.

bloody hell he punched someone

31. We are in the FA cup on Saturday and could be doing a historic double? Not if you read the English press. No mention of it at all on either the BBC or Daily Telegraph footie pages.

great post Star. I am 4000 miles from my dad, who has been sick a lot this year, but the first call I made after we won yesterday was to him and while I was calling him he was trying me. Great to be able to celebrate this even with just a phonecall with my dad who is through and through Chelsea. May your dad's love shine down on you and your family.

22. You win the league in style in the last game of the season and the front page of the Daily Telegraph would rather show pics of Drogba and Lampard just before the first penalty and make the whole story about how Drogba was in a strop. You click on the football page and you get the same story expanded.

20.The Manager of the Year award goes to the 4th place team because they finally got into the CL desp;ite dodging taxes. The manager who won the League in his first season and got the the FA Cup Final is not good enough for this. 21.A Chelsea player is hounded by the press for having sex with a consenting adult who was his ex team mate's ex girl friend and who cannot get an injunction against the press. A Scouse player can get a super injunction for probably having sex with an underage girl.

I watched the game at 11am at an English pub near where I live in Florida. The pub is an actual pub dismantled and shipped over from Blighty so it's gorgeous. Anyway, there were about 40 Chelsea, and 4 Manks. They relegated the Manks to a small screen down the side and we had the large screen in the main bar. It was English fry ups and beer, a brandy for me to calm my nerves. I said at the start of the match I want 8 goals (wished I'd put a bet on 8-0 now) and it was bloody marvellous. The publican is a Scouser and he looked suitably sheepish at the end of the game. A couple lads bought champagne at the end of the game. One mank came over to say congrats the others slunk off before the end. And back there again Saturday.

I'll be greedy and go for all 8 today.

just looked at the table, we have 11 pts more the arse who finished third and a massive 23 pts above the dippers who only managed 7th.

and how did those C U Next Tuesdays give the player of the year award to Shrek before the season was even over?
