Such a shame Berbatov didn't score there, would have been so sweet!!! Good effort from the lads, fighting back. Would so love for us to get Joe Cole, he just walked through our defense at times although we was helped by some poor acting from the defense at times, what was Zokora doing blocking Cole from space sidways and allowing him free space forward at the their second goal? And Chimbonda was really useless at times.. really liked the lad last season, but lately he's been a mess!

Most impressed by Huddlestone today, he showed some well needed aggression and really made a mark on the game, both winning tackles, made some good passes and scored a goal, just a shame he dived! hate it when people dive, as well as when they try to get to the referee and whine! (pretty much what most Chelsea players do all the time...:roll:)

Still pleased with the result thou! COYS!!!

Phil and Clive on 949 reckoned it was one of the best saves in ages.

It was a great save, up there for contender for save of the season. He did another wonder save earlier in the 2nd half aswell, from Keanes turn and half volley.

Chimbs was involved in all their goals. What a come back from the boys though, they knew they were capable from previous games like this but how many sides have scored 4 against Chelski??

It was, from real close range he did well to get a hand to it and get it clear. A draw is fair, they were the better side for most of it but their defence, like ours, was poor. I'm loving the frighteners we're putting on the top 4 now! Fucking bring on Liverpool at the end of the season!

We started playing better when we replaced a defender (King) with a midfielder (Huddlestone), we were being outnumbered in midfield up until that point.

I think Bent came on for King and Huddlestone came on as a straight swap for Jenas. I could be wrong though

what a game, what a performance!

and i am so impressed with tom huddlestone. just like in the carling cup we started bossing the midfield when he came on - he looks so mature for someone so young, and what a peach of a goal too!
we may have found a replacement or better for michael carrick finally, and strangely enough he's arrived on the scene 1 1/2 - 2 years later, just as jol predicted after carrick was sold.

there was a recent article/poll about building the midfield around jenas. well if he continues in this vein of form, we might end up having to build our midfield around someone else instead :)

we have seen huge scoring matches so often this season and yet im stunned at that scoreline and how great that match was. absolutely breathtaking stuff

awesome for the neutral as well im sure. this was the premier league at its very best and yet again it involved Tottenham Hotspur

what a bargain a season ticket was this season with the entertainment value

It was a blinding save! i was up out of my chair as i though 'no way will berba not score' :bang:

Keano's goals though!!! SSTTTTTTRRRRRRRIIIIIKKKEEE
Sums it up pretty good.

This should also mean we'll never have to see Jenas play for us again. Huddlestone did everything Jenas wasn't capable of. Great game from The Hudd

Actually if you combine the total of Chelsea, Arsenal and United they have only conceded 8 more than us combined. And we have let in more than Fulham, Sunderland and Bolton. Ouch

bloody hell

at least our defence has got better since jan but that is terrible

in that case we really gotta start nicking these 4-4 games 5-4

berbatov really should have done that but fair play to the keeper was a top top save. berbatov i guess shouldnt have given him the chance but may be harsh to say that

Just seen it on Yawa's thread. I don't really think you can fault Berba. He had to hit it first time or never, because there was no time to place it, and 9 times out of 10 it would have gone in. Just a stunning reaction save.
