What kind of twat would do that?<br>I ask you look at the position we are in and the points we have, yet people still boo, maybe O,Dreary was right we are fickle!

Assuming there is a winner in the Pool, Chelski game then at least we will be in equal 3rd place. My aspirations for the team haven't changed since the start of the season, and that was 4th anything more is a bonus.<br>So, i guess, yeah, i'm still a happy villain.
