Tweet my Goal! The funniest comments from Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Newcastle

23092010-Chelsea-vs-Newcast

@whitters993 just thought I'd get one in early...... it would be krul for ancelotti to be fired

@raunyoubeauty Ancelotti'd probably turn the other Cheikh.

@HelloMrAaron it may be cruel but we know Abramovich's intentions and he ain't mEssien around!

Then Branislav Ivanovic puts Chelsea 1-0 ahead

@MirrorFootball Ray Wilkins evoking memories of Harry Enfield's dirty old women with his "very powerful young man" description of Ivanovic

@Lord_Meadowvale Ray said he likes to see fresh young men given a go too! Ooh Matron

@RossMPerkins I'm guessing the Newcastle defenders should have Cech-ed where Ivanovic was

***

@MirrorFootball "Continuity is the way to go" says the in-no-way-bitter-about-his-sacking Ray Wilkins on the Chelsea manager situation

***

After a high and wide Fernando Torres shot:

@CrazyGoose Torres aiming for the goal in Anfield there......

Ryan Taylor's free kick is deflected in by Jonas Guitierrez to make it 1-1

@RedMancunia That goal was Taylor-made by Newcastle

More Ray Wilkins fun - also known as the 'stay on your feet' section

@bootsybah Ray on Tim Krul "it's going to take him a while to bed into our style of football" Krul has been at Newcastle since 2005.

@MirrorFootball It's Harry Enfield dirty old lady syndrome RT @lukeofarrell its awful the way Wilkins seems refers to anybody under 30 as 'young man'

@LovesKingKenny When Willkins commentates on a Villa game does he refer to Ashley and Luke as "Young Young"? #Youngcole #Youngramires

@AverageCynic Peter Cech? How long did you work at Chelsea Ray? Next he'll be referring to Brian Ivanovic and Fred Torres.

@MirrorFootball Did he mean to say Phil? RT @chakakahan worried about Wilkins now. Just referred to Josh Mceachran as "young Josh Mcracken"

***

@KennyPalmer Shame David Luiz isn't playing today as he would be up against his SideShow Bob doppelganger Fabricio Coloccini

***

@MirrorFootball   Ivanovic trying the old if-I-don't-look-at-the-ref-he-won't-book-me routine. Isn't working

@stewielomas Ryan Taylor trying the old 'smash the ball into the wall and get another deflected goal' trick, not working!!

***

@MirrorFootball Shoala's brother Sammy Ameobi coming on for Newcastle. Never mind the quality, feel the quantity

@MirrorFootball There's only two Amoebis! etc

@MirrorFootball D'you want to tell him or shall I? RT @sdmeji *Shola Ameobi*RT @MirrorFootball: Sammy Ameobi coming on for Newcastle

@akickintheblog Is the Newcastle alphabet this>>> Y,i,m,e,o,b....

@MirrorFootball Ray knows loads of stuff we don't RT @bootsybah Ray keeps calling him "Big Alex". Knows something we don't?

Steven Taylor scores stoppage time equaliser

@bootsybah Ray on Steven Taylor "He's a proper strong young man,I really enjoyed his company". Yeah....

[Noah Hickey] Hernandez the next Messi?

hernandez_cele_back_2 There are a couple of good topics this week in the rise of Javier Hernandez at Manchester United and also Liverpool since King Kenny Dalglish has taken over.

In the first case Hernandez has been the stand out signing of the Premier League this season. Most of that praise was given to Rafael Van der Vaart of Tottenham at the start of the season, as the season has gone on Hernandez has taken this title.

Manchester United have all but confirmed the Premier League crown by beating Chelsea in the weekend with Hernandez playing another starring role.

His pace and touch have even caused ex-players such as Pele to come out and say he could be the next Messi. This would seem to fit well for Pele as he knows it would stir his biggest rival in Maradona to a point where we may see a comment in retaliation anytime.

Pele also had a little jibe at Messi saying "the Messi we see playing for Barcelona is very different to the Messi we see for Argentina" and that he needs to prove himself for country before he gets the title of greatness.

Pele probably has a point as the very best are judged on what they have done for club and country, this will be true in the case of both Messi and Hernandez though Messi still stands out globally for me. The best thing is we get to see them battle it out for the Champions League on the 28th May, one player will come out a hero and Hernandez could go a long way to backing up Pele's claims if it is him.

On the Liverpool front I am baffled to know why Kenny Dalglish hasn't been signed up as the permanent manager yet.

The results have turned around so quickly and the football has been entertaining to watch, goals are flowing and there have been multiple goal scorers.

Surely the Liverpool board have given Dalglish the vote of confidence and it is only him that is holding back at the moment. If he walked away now it would be the perfect exit to maintain his legend status at the club. I don't know if he can do much better next season with the players he has over the clubs that have endless funds.

It has been a frustrating last couple of seasons for the reds fans, the only answer is to sign King Kenny and start putting the puzzle together for next season. If not I fear Liverpool will be right back where they began this season watching the likes of Hernandez at Manchester United tear the league to shreds.

It might just be Hernandez' year next season, that's enough to put the fear into any manager that takes the reigns at Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal. I can't see a player available that any of these clubs could sign to seriously threaten Hernandez position at the top next season.
