But we needed to gift them a goal for them to beat us?... Just how good are we ?

I wonder how we would do against some of these giants ..

It's a bit of a stretch to compare us to Barca based on a 1-0 win for Chelsea. But, by my reckoning we are one of the top five teams in Europe based on historical results and goals conceeded against Man Utd and Chelsea

or, maybe drogba is just really good. he was about to pass out on the sidline against barca, still came in and one it just into the second half

I thought it before the weekend debacle and I still think it now. He's the standout player of this season so far.

I also think he didn't dive on the Bikey red card clip. Sorry.

Interesting comments when you think that Sonko kept him and Shevchenko pretty quiet. The Iceman did well too!

Value of Sonko now? Got to be Â£5mil and rising.

I wasn't sure about him last year but think he has been a revelation this season.

By the way, why couldn't they play decent football like that against us on Saturday? I have to say I was really looking forward to that game and they were such a let down. Speaks volumes as to how we're coping with the Premiership.

Chelsea playing at home or a totally different proposition to Chelsea playing away...

Everton paid 5m for Lescott, so reckon Sonko is worth more.

When asked by Geoff Shreeves whether he could do anything at the moment:

Damn right - he kept you quiet on Saturday.

Did anyone see the adverts for Super Sunday last night:

1.30 pm - Man Utd v Liverpool

4.00 pm - Reading v Arsenal

8.00 pm - Barca v Real Madrid

Made brilliant, yet quite surreal reading....
