If I see Cahill and Ivanovic both on the pitch for the second half I will lose my fucking mind. Both have been worse than terrible. IMO both need to be subbed, but that's unlikely to happen. I'm begging you Jose, take one of those wasting fuckers off at least and hopefully never play either of them again while Azpi/Luis/Zouma are fit and in form.

2 of the following 5 and i'll be content. 3 of the 5 and i'll be happy: A new World Class CB (Varane?) New HG GK (Ruddy?) Another creative/goalscoring CM (Koke? Pogba? Nainggolan) A backup for Matic (Kondogbia? Imbula? Schneiderlin?) A new World Class AM (Bale? Reus? Isco?) Listed in order of importance IMO. Would be nice to see Mikel, Ramires, Cech, Cahill possibly Oscar and a few youngsters (Piazon, Kakuta, Marin, Wallace) sold to fund some of this. Bring back Bamford to replace Drogba moving to the coaching team and in an ideal world have a team like this next season: ----------------Courtois------------------ ---Azpi----Terry----Varane----Luis--- ------------------Matic-------------------- ------Koke/Pogba-----Fabregas------ --Willian/Cuadrado-----------Hazard- -----------------Costa-------------------- 2nd team: -----------------Ruddy------------------- -Ivan---Zouma--Christensen---Ake- --------------Schneiderlin--------------- -----------RLC----------Baker----------- --Willian/Cuadrado-------------Remy- ----------------Bamford-------------------

Also, been to Paris and I really didn't like it. Go anywhere near the Eiffel tower and there are groups of blokes that surround you to try and sell you shit or distract you while their mate pickpockets you. The French police were so overly aggressive to tourists too. But don't let me put you off!!!

Berlin is a must. Best place in Europe i've ever been to. Definitely pay the Olympic stadium a visit there, was a fantastic day that (I watched Hertha Berlin play too. Only against Mainz but was a great experience all the same and tickets were pretty cheap and I got them on the day of the game).

For me atm: 1. Hazard 2. Matic 3. Kane 4. De Gea 5. Costa 6. Sanchez 7. Aguero 8. Erikson 9. Fabregas 10. JT And young player OTY: 1. Kane 2. Courtois 3. Coutinho

To repeat myself once more: Really really really want Paddy to be in our squad next season. As 2nd/3rd choice striker. I truly believe he's ready. His style of play is absolutely fantastic.

Fantastic article. Annoyingly find myself being influenced also. Great insights into the nuances of watching football .

I like the Bundesliga but good god you're over-rating it there. My brother is a Dortmund fan and he admits that the PL is stronger ATM, regardless of the PL teams' poor performance in the CL this season. I would point you towards the Everton vs Wolfsburg results earlier this season but I doubt that'll change your mind.

Oh my good god. You'd think we'd just lost 8-0 and had 3 players sent off and Mourinho had drop kicked a baby across the pitch judging by the reactions on here. People are so annoyingly negative at times. And to think I thought I was negative before this xD. Mourinho isn't perfect, nowhere near, but he's by far the best manager in the world for us ATM and any suggestion of us sacking our manager when we're 6pts clear at the top of the league with a game in hand, have a trophy in the bag already and a team that is 5x better now than it was when he joined for no monetary loss is just moronic.

Chelsea continuing to use their impeccable skill of making average teams look great and good teams (like saints) look like Bayern.

Will never happen but this where I'd love to see Cahill and Oscar pulled off for Zouma and Cuadrado at HT. Make a statement that this is just NOT acceptable.

We're defending like QPR ffs. Cahill and Ivanovic awful as usual. Oscar and Fabregas anonymous and Matic and JT are not playing well.

And as is typical, we then have a pen not given.

Fuck sake. How is that given when we've had 20 of those not given this season.

I don't think it's a coincidence that when Cahill plays over Zouma we don't defend well.

Surely you'd rather we won the title the game before, so we can have a tunnel of honour onto the pitch from Liverpool where they will have to applaud us on. JT can carry the trophy down the middle and bring Gerrard closer to the trophy than he ever has been before! xD. Would be fantastic to watch them all have to clap us on, but especially Gerrard and Sturridge, would be so so satisfying.

I'm planning on going to that game, purely because I reckon we'll either have won the title the game before, or win it on that day. Seeing them have to clap us onto the pitch (especially Gerrard and Sturridge) would be one the best memories of my life xD.

I said before the game that it was a big game for Oscar and Cahill. Oscar (once again i'm afraid) has failed miserably. Watching him fuck up counters is becoming so common it's laughable. I still have faith in him to become a good player but it's seriously starting to wane. Hopefully he picks it up again for the run in. Cahill was mixed. I don't remember him doing anything specifically wrong personally but he can't have played well if we conceded 2 at home to an average team which only had 10men (and the man sent off was their star striker). Zouma is definitely the better player (seriously how good is he as a makeshift DM?) but i'm not ready to give up on Cahill just yet. Willian and Ramires are desperately average going forwards, but i'd like us to keep 1 as a squad player workhorse (every squad needs 1) but the other will likely be sold in the summer. We paid for having negative tactics (Mourinho to blame there, unfortunately) and the fact that 2 of our best 3 defensive players had really poor games (JT and Matic - Matic due to still carrying his ankle injury it looked like). Hazard played well in fits and spurts but needs to stop disappearing late in big games (I believe he will), Fabregas was anonymous and Costa worked hard and didn't have any chances. Courtois was fantastic though, the man is a monster in goal. Seeing him waltz through the defensive and pluck crosses out of the air is fantastic to see. Ivanovic was his usual self - decent going forward, often out of position in defence and Azpi was solid. We need to step it up for the rest of the season and win the PL now. I don't think any of us truly believed we'd win the CL, and while we're all disappointed to go out like we did we need to just move on. If we win the league (we really should from here) then we've still won a double and will be only the second team do have done that since we did it last in 2010. That's still quite an achievement and we should be incredibly proud of it if it happens. KTBFFH people, it's easy to support a team when they win, it's far harder to support them when they lose, and it shows the true supporters of the club.

It sounds to me like they call him Herbedes on commentary.

Is that the same Jurgen Klopp who's team have lost 11 of their 24 league games this season? Shut the fuck up, moron. Mourinho isn't perfect but he's a damn sight better than most other managers out there. Suggesting he should be sacked on the back of 1 result after he's won us a cup and we're 5pts clear at the top of the league (would be 10-12 too with fair refereeing) is pig-headed in the extreme.

Chelsea deciding to do their best impression of the England cricket team. Humiliating and pathetic.

Cahill and Oscar, you 2 have got to step up now. Zouma and Willian probably better players but here's your chance I guess! Reward Mou's faith in you please!!! My prediction is 3-1. (Oscar, Costa and Hazard for Chelsea, The Zlatan for PSG) Trust in Mou everyone and KTBFFH!!

Team that played btw for anyone that wants to know: --------------------Collins--------------------- -Aina--Tomori--Clarke Salter--Da Silva- ---------Christensen------Colkett---------- ----Abraham-------Boga-------Brown----- --------------------Solanke------------------- Subs: Thompson, Sammutt, Suljic, Ugbo, C Musonda, Palmer (on for Boga '77), Kiwomya.

Youth team are on FIRE. Go on the baby blues!

Arsenal fans gloating about winning the FA Cup would be 1,000,000,000x better than hearing the wanker Liverpool fans going on about Slippy G (the king victim) deserving a title to go out with.
