Just been on SSN, Joe Cole is out for the rest of the season with knee ligament damage. John Terry will also miss their game with Stoke after injuring himself in the warmup.

[Crybaby Bunting]

And with that, Chelsea's title challenge is over. Unless of course Abramovich wants to make a bid for Kaka for shits and giggles.

EDIT: Stupid me, I read it as Terry and Cole being out for the rest of the season >_<

Danny Collins

I'm happy for him because last year he had a goal disallowed, slightly dubiously, so it's nice that he has managed to get a goal in the same fixture this year. All we need now is Michael Chopra to race through the centre backs and knock it home and it'll be like Groundhog Day.

[IAceI]

..Fuck. James Milner as well. Apparently a bit of a dubious goal but I'll need to see it myself.

Disappointing but you can't be too surprised. Lets hope we can hold on for a draw, or get another but that's probably wishful thinking.

[therockbox]

stoke..

omg

[Szumi]

Rory fucking Delap.

Oh damn, if Stoke somehow holds this upset... fucking amazing.

[stokeriño]

lol, Chelsea.

[Scott McFly]

Oh, Stokerino. Getting beaten by your own name.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I told you we should have kept Allerdyce <___<

[IAceI]

Ashley Young with a lunge and a straight red card to follow

Of all the people to get sent off, he would have been the lowest down the list. Still, I can see Villa with 10 men working better for Villa than us. Still - just surprised to see Young getting a red card.

[Clawson]

Goals and Reds are just flying in from all over now.

[Scott McFly]

Jesus, there's red cards all over the place today. Be interesting to hear the final count, could be some sort of record.

[Crybaby Bunting]

pfft, there's only been three red cards. It doesn't seem like it's going to get much worst than this.

[IAceI]

So 10 men Villa... we give them a penalty. Lovely.

[TheRossWalker]

lol, the north east

[Crybaby Bunting]

holy shit, Chelsea could be out of the top 4 by the end of today

Edit: actually they're safe for this week, stupid math

Not just in the Premier League, I mean everywhere. Just seems like every time I look up, there's at least one more red card on the videprinter. There's another one now for Stranraer. And now Butt's off for Newcastle.

EDIT: There's two more for Rushden and Altrincham. And Reading now.

[IAceI]

And now Rushden.

I hate us. I hate Paul McShane and his Viking Sunset coloured hair, although if Le Tiss was right and the foul was outside the area then I will forgive him. But will still be bitterly disappointed.

EDIT: 2 more red cards as I typed that for Altrincham and Reading.

lol, the north east

I concur.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Fuck Butt!

that sounded horribly wrong, but he's just came back from injury... and now he's off for two weeks? fuck him!
