Ollie

Great job by the linesman by the way, that was a great call. Just a shame they scored a minute later and killed the tie. The next season was history That was the real Essien in that clip but it's what he can still do. His problem is his speed, reactions, turning etc. Nice to see him shrug off Rooney though. I hope this move puts Ramires back in that central area.

Yeah, nice read indeed. The only problem with Cahill is that, like Terry, he lacks pace and when he's on the wrong side, he's gonna struggle to catch up. Otherwise, everything's great about him and he loves a good old long range shot too. Good ol' fashioned passionate and committed English centre half. I'd always use him with JT. There's plenty of doubts where he'll be in the England pecking order but he's not even guaranteed to be in our first team yet. Luiz has gone back to his old self and is genuinely pissing me off as a CB.

50/50. Yes because we stopped them from winning it and we made them feel like they made us feel at the time. No because we would've still been gutted if we lost the final, and of course Barca won their final in 2009.

I think the Atletico game could be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully that type of performance never happens again. I'd never say a match against any South American team will be easy, especially not against the best team. These 2 games will be a real test, no doubt about it.

There are too many rich Russians in general lol. Their league would be very watchable but i don't know if anyone here televises it. They have some great players, especially in forward positions. Looks like Zenit will be the team to beat this season.

€150m how tempting.... He'd only ever want to go back to Man Utd. They can't be throwing that much money at a player, the Glazers have already fucked their money situation. They wouldn't sell for €87m and buy him back for €150m. He's destined to stay there until at least 2015.

Oh yeah, he's also loved by referees.

He should retire then if he can't handle it. He knew what he was getting himself into when he turned pro but anyway he didn't say he was pissed off in a personal way, he said in a professional way. That's bullshit tho, He's an egotistical cunt, he wants a pay rise to be the highest paid player on the planet for his own ego. He thrives on the attention.

It's a hard life. Has around £150m in his bank, can get any woman he wants, players for the biggest club in the world, millions regard him as the best in the world, he's adored by so many, millions have his name on their shirt or his name in part of a gamer tag or username somewhere, there are hundreds of video's of him on youtube, he's a genuine superstar, has a perfect physique, is the most expensive player of all time, he's won Golden boots, league titles, domestic cups, the Champions league, is in the prime of his life, in a great city. Hell... he's even the number one spammed player on Fifa and the most expensive player on ultimate team lol. Shit life.

No. He's a very experienced player who has done a good job for us as a whole and he needs to move on. Where's those Fenerbahce fans gone....

Ok he's crying because he didn't win the European player of the year award then, hopefully he loses the Ball on d'or too lol then he might commit suicide.

He's just crying because he didn't win the Ball on d'or.

AVB's first 2 Chelsea home matches: Chelsea 2-1 WBA Chelsea 3-1 Norwich AVB's first 2 Tottenham home matches: Tottenham 1-1 WBA Tottenham 1-1 Norwich And as for Lloris... just plain mad really. No disrespect to Brad but he's 41, he should be told by AVB that you are now number 2, we have a new number 1. I'm guessing the order will change inside the season tho at some point. It should anyway.

Its RM and LM. Not really CM tbh. It just looks narrow.

Hutchinson will be our RB with Azpi and Ivanovic will be CB again. Good to have plenty of cover. I think Hutch is a better RB than Ivan.

What i'd love to see: Torres - Sturridge Hazard Moses - Marin Mikel Cole - Terry - Cahill - Azpilicueta Cech Fat chance tho. At least i think he should stop this double pivot tho and use a straight 3 along the middle. He can use Lampard, Mikel and Ramires with the 2 wingers and the striker which would still work well imo but i'd like to see Sturridge up front. This is his type of game.

I'd be happy to see him here of course but it seems weird to get someone at that age like we've not planned for Essien and Meireles to go. A few months would be good tbh. I suppose as a free agent, nothing could go wrong.

He's hardly struggling to pay the bills. Obviously if i was offered a job from getting £200 a week to £400 a week, i'd have to accept it to make my life easier. Going from i dunno... £50k a week to £100k a week is hardly the same. I heard Wallcott wants £100k a week at Arsenal as £75k a week isn't good enough. Fuck sake, £2k a week is good enough in my world.

They have a very good team now Zenit, they could be a real force. They have Milan, Malaga and Anderlecht and i'd expect them qualify and maybe even to win the group. Wouldn't wanna face them tbh. Strong team. Also have Kerzhakov and Danny and Alves at the back. Dangerous.

Romeu and Mikel would need some time but if we are gonna carry on with this horrible formation, we need 2 genuine CDMs and they are. Lampard can play some games there and maybe even some as the number 10 (against weaker sides of course).

He left at the right time imo and if we sign him now it will just be desperate. He's still a good player and i appreciate what he gave us in the past but we need to look to someone else and not go backwards.

Some players care only about earning huge amounts of money. Football is secondary.

Well to be honest, now we've won the UCL, it's nice to see more teams get huge to stop Man City from winning it and the north London cunts of course (both breeds).

Meireles is simply a CM, not a CDM or a CAM, he's a CM. He can defend a bit and he can attack a bit but he's pretty shite at both if i'm honest. He's your basic 'runner' who has energy and a decent passer. He's your 7/10 every week midfielder. Has a good shot on him tho but like Essien, 9/10 fly over the stand, 1 might fly in.

Where? Certainly not LW unless we're parking the bus.
