against beating best certainly chelsea fantastic few forward last love minutes moment outfit played setting standards team uphill year
We played well there last year and we were only a few minutes away from beating them. But they are a fantastic outfit and team and are setting the standards for everyone, so it's an uphill job, but one you look forward to.

In his eyes, he's done nothing wrong. He had been to a concert, went for something to eat, went to a VIP party afterwards. Yet therein lies the problem. You can't put yourself in these situations.

In the first 45 minutes we looked a threat every time we went forward and to be fair we could have been four or five goals up and it could have been game over at half-time,

Clemence will not play again this season. He has torn his hamstring and you are looking at 28 days out of action with such an injury which basically takes you up to the end of the season.
