....... if Chris Brunt doesn't have a problem with James McClean and James McClean doesn't have a problem with Chris Brunt, then I don't see why there's any problem at all.  (Aside from him needing to screw his head on a bit tighter and develop the ability to send a cross where it's actually meant to go every now and then.  But that's presumably a work in progress.)

Exactly right; it's the press that are determined to make something of it and WILL do unless something bigger happens on the day to deviate attention. Let's hope that Mourinho admits that he isn't, after all, the best human being that ever lived, or that someone at Chelsea IS at fault for something. That should do it.

Bring back Ashley Cole and his rifle!

Take it from a Welshman, you're the only ones who do sing that anthem by the way.

A, she's not our queen, she's "the queen of England".

B, we have our own anthems. I can guarantee you don't sing ours so why should I sing yours?

I've got to be honest I don't even know the words, shocking I know.

Glassedeye, I do not wish to be argumentative but, she is not queen of England, she is queen of great Britain and the commonwealth, she is your queen as is she the queen of Scotland, northern Ireland and England, I consider myself to be English first, and proud of it too, but I am British also. I will support the royals and England in every sport they play, as a brit I like all the British teams to do well, why do the none english parts of this land always fill so hard done by and anti-english. One nation made up of four countries ....... let's not fight each other, there are many people out there that want to harm us all irrespective of which side of a national line you were born. Let's stick together and cheer on the biggies.
