We were pressing and she helped them save time - or so it appeared. But are n't the players of the attacking teams getting injured as well in this game, just as well as the bus-parking players ? Mou could be justifired only if he knew the ref too was cheating and not keeping extra time properly. In football's ancient days I 've seen monstrous time wastings. 30 minutes back passing to the goalkeeper and the referee bowing his whistle at the 82nd minute. I don't think it's of relevence now.

City is at evens. That shows respect for Mou.

Willian is the only one who plays football besides Eden. While admittedly he does n't have the body type he is better than most. Scored the second goal against Sw. and if it counted as o.g. it's against the rule.

So you say ve are vinning ze war.

Arsenal is a cure for insomnia. I used to live just outside the Highbury - Roseleigh avenue. Never walked in.

Create them for me ?

I 'm afraid we are being let down and Jose looked forward to a Diego system but he is not getting it. That hamstring needs some drastic treatment or it's a countdown to the exit. Of course as Diego is already one of the long series of loved Chelsea players, it's sad to have to criticize him.

We played football the year before, 13-14, bar some heinous situations towards the end. Last year we did ok -without opposition- but after February only the results were satisfactory. Now it looks we have problems. There is no fluency whatsoever. It's not that we conceded two to a good team, or even a lucky team if you want to call the Swans lucky. The buildup was non existent. Our two goals were flukes.

It did n't look as if we were playing with 10 men - if you forget that we allowed them to created chances. There were some worrying defensive mistakes before and after but up front in was Gobi desert. The two goals we scored were among the most fortuitious we ever scored. Costa was good for a beach team, Iva poor but the man is not a playmaker. Although it's not as if we did n't fluff any last season -e.g. Burnley- It's getting worrying.

Twelve against ten.

We were the best. City were poor, Liverpool vanished and the others did not make any real progress. What you 'd rather say is that outside us, it was a bad year for the premier league overall, as the European results also showed. Complaints began after January or thereabouts, even though the first place looked secure. But instead of some improvement we remain stationary. Mybe Cuadrado's was signed to add the element of speed but this man looks scared when sent out there.

Ummm. All I can really say about pre-seasons I have seen in past years is that sometimes the visitors don't try. So it looks good for the home team but it really is n't. Other than that they provide a certain glimpse of things to come. Last year we fluffed against Werder, in Bremen, but otherwise the signs were positive. In Greece we more or less don't have any serious pre-season friendlies any longer. In year's past I recall Tigana's Bordeaux, QPR (strong then), Dukla Prague and others.

Look, the writing is on the wall. I cannot express optimism and most certainly I cannot suggest that the team is in motion for higher things this season. Be that as it may - we stick together in championship division too. What I really don't like is the cockiness of Jose, dictated by the cockiness of Roman quite obviously. They had better come forward and say "listen folks we are trying something new this season because we can't afford transfers". I have seen this kind of attitude many times and it's bad for the football clubs concerned, it's bad for the psychology of the fans and it's ultimately bad for the image of the directors-managers too. Is n't it much better to make a honest approach ? We are what, 25,000 managers writing in these boards. That's one too many really, but we are not the proverbial Sid and Doris Bonkers. We know some footie.

Maybe we will lose some matches, because the opposition is lucky or because they get to play brilliant. But it's the performences that we look into. Against PSG and against Arsenal we were horrible. Against Barcelona better, against the American team ... never mind.

We need more aggression. There are players for whom the defences know "if we miss him once it's a goal". Granted Eden is one such but we need more. If the defenders miss Iva is it a certain goal ? And I don't mean in the scrummages of course where he does do some tricks. We are in danger of becoming slow motion, which is most un-Chelsea like.

Fiorentina are playing away from their country but they are better than Arsenal.

Dei di chrimaton o andres Athinaioi.

You have to be lucky, like Barcelona equalizer. If that failed you were going to say "what a poor effort". With crosses the trick is to be as near the goal line as possible. In 1978 world cup BBC made a series of demonstrations with Malcolm Allison in the role of the professor. If you cross from the middle of the park it's 90% failure. Sometimes goals happen that way too, but apart from everything else the defense can play you off side when you do that.

Failure against a packed defense. Not that they are the sorts who could n't come back again had we equalized, but they played a park the bus system all the time I watched. Also the sunshine makes tv viewing impossible. They should never play so early, especially a charity shield match. The injuries of Diego Costa begin to worry me and Falcao ... As I said it's going to be birds or eggs with Falcao.

I should think it's Roman lurking behind in the shadows. I was questionning how much time it takes, to see if I could do it or not. However I believe this forum is ok. For me the record "thuggery" was in 2004. I said I unsupport Bush in an international so called opinion forum and they banned me in seconds. There were no heated exchanges, as I did n't even get time for any. In the 2012 Greek elections as well as in the recent ones I got respective bans for making to the SYRIZA loony lefties the logical suggestion to jump to the nearest pond and drawn themselves.

What does a moderator do ? How taxing is it in terms of a] time, b] reading stuff ? I was mod. once of a forum, but it was whenever we were in the mood to login. We were cleaning the viagra-enhancement posts every day though, as we had lots of such posts those years.

Their substitute keeper was a sack of potatoes.

Barcelona minus Messi played as if it was champions league final. Falcao needs Hazard to shine.

Oscar's was going to be the free kick of the century.

They 're playing fast today. Much better. Diego had to use his left to get the second one.
