Ollie

Refs deserve this in most games. That Michael Oliver was fucking hopeless again today, he along with that ghost goal dude err... AH Stuart Attwell are the 2 worst refs i've seen since David Elleray (He made me cry as a 7 year old!!!) fucked off from the scene. Lee Probert isn't sio bad but refs in general, i hate them.

I think this Chelsea team can play with the no striker role because of 3 reasons. 1) Torres, our striker, is hopeless. 2) We have the players that can adapt to that way. 3) We used it against PSG for about half an hour? Piazon scored, we dominated. That was our best half in pre season. Piazon was the false 9. We have a lot of candidates for each role. Solution? Just buy a new striker.

Awful tackle but i still see it as a yellow card no matter what anyone else things. Football is a quick game, he did go for the ball with 1 foot slightly raised and caught the player. Also it was on a Stoke player so happy fucking days and man up Pullis. You're the one with the dirty team, have that. I still think we played well anyway. Oscar reminds me so much of Zola. Forget Kaka, he's our new Zola.

I thought it was our best performance if i'm honest. We attacked well and were very unlucky many times. We kept going and i dunno why Pulis is so pissed off, he should be happy at losing 1-0 because in the 2nd half, they were battered. They had a chance or 2, it happens but we played well. Some of our play and touches were sublime. Anyone pissed off, just go n support Barcelona, your life will be easy.

He was excellent today as was Oscar, brilliant by both. This was the real Mata, great touches and a lovely flick for the goal.

And all i won was this... Random as fuck bet i do once in a while before i go to bed. Fuck me, i'm getting bad.

Really? Anyway it's been ok, not bad at all imo, just hard to get through. I still think we'll win it, we look like cutting through them. Just wish Torres would remember how to shoot.

Absolutely, when you predict draws and teams that are not odds on, the odds fly. It was 3800/1 and yes, i was 2 goals away basically. Won my tenner back today lol easiest bet i've ever won. If you don't believe me, check this out. Just done it 2 mins ago. 10 games, £10. 4000/1

Play Hazard up front with Mata behind and Marin and Moses out wide. Stoke won't have a clue what to do. Again, it's 100% impossible that is gonna happen.

4-6-0 ftw.

So maybe swap Luiz and Ivanovic. I reckon he'd make a pretty good RB. The worst position for him is CB and that's his position, shocking.

Than after the shot he thought he was Torres.

Should made a new thread for this really as it might get hidden but anyway you've been a good member and made a big impact, i'm sure this place will miss you but good luck in whatever path you are taking.

Anyone currently free? We need someone now not in Jan. Imo we should've got Saha or Fletcher, they would've obviously chose us over Sunderland. We certainly missed the boat with all this trust for the biggest flop of all time. We need to get someone, i just hope the Falcao rumour is true (unlikely) and we have a plan. If we don't get a striker scoring 20 goals, we can kiss UCL qualification goodbye.

No because that's exactly where he should be.

We're a striker away from being title contenders. This deal is a no brainer for me, great in the air too and at pens, tap-ins and beauties. He can pretty much score from most scenarios and he's in the best form of his life, the exact opposite of our number 9. Still got like 4 months though.... pointless thinking about it. We'll be 6th by that time thanks to Nando's inevitable contribution.

Won't be long until you do, they've already crossed the north/south divide, seen a few down here in pubs n stuff. They'll be crossing borders soon.

He's got a hamstring injury apparently. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/fantasy-football-injuries/

Unless he heals like Marko Marin in which case we're looking at Christmas.

Maybe because someone doesn't find all the boring sarcastic wastes of posts funny. The thread is obviously going to be about how we can beat Stoke without the 'score more goals than them' crap.

And there were 2 penalties he shoulda won so could have more assists. He does dive and this is why he wont get some. The one yesterday imo was a pen because there is contact, he's nibbling away at him and the one against QPR was definite too but he's gonna get the Ashley young treatment soon.

But the talking about formations and who plays are the way to win. You don't just win by default. A team has to be picked, a formation has to be used and someone needs to score the goal(s) to win the game. I'd say there's more chance Moses will be more dangerous as a RM than Ramires and Sturridge has more chance of scoring than Torres. I also hope Marin is gonna be back, injury prone already, no wonder his career has hit the buffers. He was 'a doubt' for the Community Shield... doe's this guy not heal? I would absolutely love to see Marin and Moses start with Hazard in the middle and Sturridge up front. I know there's approximately 0% chance of it happening though.

Can't believe 3 womens matches screwed me out of £50! I thought 1/16 is pretty fucking dead cert, never NEVER NEVER betting on womens football again or MLS. Got screwed by Portland Timbers finally getting a decent result. Onto the next one...

We're quite popular here.

I'm gonna now go n get those patches done now i've seen how the kit will look. Glad i picked the right shirt too... NO STAR.
