A poster's knowledge of football and credibility tend to hit zero when they claim that the best player in the world is mediocre

Shit, so we do, my bad, I'll edit my post

The quickest route out of England is now..... Arsenal take the crown from Southampton and then lose to Borrusia Dortmund on 6th November

Harsh

With Southampton retaining the crown, the quickest route out of England, would be for Southampton to lose the title to Fulham and then Fulham to lose it to Man Utd and then Man Utd to lose to Real Sociedad on 5th November

A couple were lying in bed together on the morning of their tenth wedding anniversary when the wife says, 'Darling, as this is such a special occasion, I think that it is time I made a confession: Before we were married I was a hooker for eight years.' The husband ponders for a moment and then looks into his wife's eyes and says, 'My love, you have been a perfect wife for ten years! I cannot hold your past against you, maybe you could show me a few tricks of the trade and spice up our sex life a bit?' She said, 'I don't think you understand darling, my name was Brian and I played rugby for Wales ......'

Or we can at least safely crown Nish as Unofficial Champion of Chicken

Having Europe in it is part of the fun. The whole idea was created on the basis that when a team beats another team that makes them better. (It's derived from the idea that when Scotland beat England in 1967, in England's first match after winning the World Cup, Scotland became the Unofficial World Champions) It's just a bit a fun and not meant to be taken too seriously.

Norwich can't take the crown from Southampton before they've won it. Norwich beat Southampton before Southampton beat Liverpool

On the Dundee United forum I post on we have a thread called Unofficial Champions of Scotland, where we take the previous years champions and follow results and watch as the unofficial championships changed hands. It can become quite interesting when the champions usually Celtic (and previously Rangers) lose in Europe and the title ends up in a foreign country and can bounce about between some random Scandinavian teams. I thought I'd give it a shot here and we can track the progress. By my calculations, correct me if in wrong, the current unofficial Champions would be Southampton. 2013 League winners: Manchester United Manchester United 0-1 Liverpool. Liverpool take the crown Liverpool 0-1 Southampton. Southampton take the crown. By my calculations the first chance of the crown going abroad will be if Man Utd beat Southampton and then lose to Real Sociedad in the Champions league.

What are people expecting here? How on earth does anyone on here know how he's feeling and what he's thinking? The boy has been sent out on loan and he has taken that opportunity to show what he can do, without having the added pressure of leading the line at as big a club as Chelsea. This loan will do wonders for his confidence and bring him in as a player. He's still very young and has lots to learn, he'll know that more than anyone. If Lukaku had stayed and had a bad game at Chelsea the repercussions would have been much worse than having a bad game for Everton. I'm confident that he's just striving to prove to Jose that he can be Chelsea's main man and the way his loan has started I'm positive that Jose is sitting up and taking notice and liking what he sees. Lukaku is exactly the type of striker that we need and I'm sure he'll be a huge player for us next season.

My daughter stood on my laptop and cracked the screen

Ryan is correct. There was a dildo and gimp suit in GTA: San Andreas

I'm so good at maths, I can divide by 0

It's the attitude of people on here though. It's not that I'm saying Mata, personally, is living off past reputations, it's that people on here are putting still judging him on previous performances rather than his substandard performances of this season. It may well be down to a lack of fitness, but as it stands, IMO, the best thing for Chelsea is to leave Mata out and use him sparingly until his form returns. If he can come off the bench and perform like we know he can then he will force Jose to start picking him to start games, that's really what Jose is getting at. He's not saying "Oscar is better than Mata" he's saying "Oscar is first choice until someone puts in better performances than him"

Well judging by the comments on here, he's the fucking messiah, despite putting in sub standard performances. Note you haven't even bothered to address the rest of my post. I've stated that I want Mata to return to previous form, but until that happens, there are a lot of folk on here who need a reality check and will have to realise that if Mata isn't performing then he is going to have to sit out games until his form comes back. Put it this way, if you were manager of your local boys club team and young Jimmy had been POTY 2 years in a row but this season had been playing within himself and not performing to the best that he can, yet little Billy was playing really well and was much improved on previous years, would you continue to pick Jimmy and cross your fingers and hope his form returned or would you play Billy who was putting in better performances? My original post was not about hating on Mata, look at my avatar FFS, I love Mata, it's more about what is best for Chelsea right now and what is best is protecting Mata, by not playing him when he is off form. Continuing to play an off form player will do nothing for his confidence and that will begin to rub off on the rest of the team. Mata needs to grab his chance by coming off the bench and forcing Jose to pick him, by putting in the kind if performance we know he is capable of.

If I'm being totally honest as much as I love Mata, he's not really done the business on the park so far this season, whereas Oscar has. How long is Mata going to be allowed to live off of previous seasons reputations? He has to prove that he belongs on the pitch, he's not done that this season so far. I hope his form returns and soon, but it's not the end of the world if we have guys legitimately playing better than him. The starting XI should be picked on form, not reputation

Roger Milla and George Weah were better than both of them, so you're both wrong.

Where did you find that photo? Have you been creeping on my Facebook?

When did everyone come back? I've just been lurking lately

It's a toss up between De Rossi, Vidal and Javi Maritnez Busquets is up there though, so I can understand why people would have your opinion. Was merely playing devil's advocate

No he isn't
