Sorry mate but that's too of a simplistic point of view. Everyone is alowed to critique there teams performance or style of play whether they support Chelsea or Crawley..

What you looking for son ?. Got a 90 minute D.V.D. of these 11 Frenchies who put there balls in a 18 yard box but shoot all over the place

No mate just anti twat. You honestly think me taking the piss out of American Sports is the same as you trying to justify the use of the word rape in context to a football match?

So have you ever heard the word rape used on a football pitch when you were growing up or standing in the Shed or Northstand no is the answer. Politically correct fuck off mate say your mum, daughter whatever asked you how you done in your darts match '' Brilliant love we fucking raped them''. Use words like rape in there proper context not in a meanigless pre season friendly football match.

Alan Pardew will not be invited back on the Match of the Day 2 sofa any time soon after he was yesterday forced to issue an unconditional apology for comparing a tackle by Chelsea's Michael Essien on Sunday to a rape. The former Reading, West Ham and Charlton manager was describing a challenge by Essien during Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on the BBC2 show. After the Ghana international clattered into City's striker Ched Evans, Pardew said: "He's a strong boy. He knocks him off." His fellow pundit Alan Hansen interjected to say, "he mauls him", before Pardew continued, "he absolutely rapes him". The comment was not spotted at the time by the host Adrian Chiles, Hansen or any of the programme's production staff who, it is understood, thought Pardew had said that Essien "rakes him". The battle for the BBC Read more But after receiving 35 complaints from members of the public the BBC yesterday issued a statement that read: "Alan Pardew apologises unconditionally for any offence caused by remarks he made in the Match of the Day 2 programme last night." The comments were condemned by women's groups. Lee Eggleston, the chairwoman of Rape Crisis England and Wales, said the term was "completely inappropriate". She said: "That something as serious as sexual assault has been misused to describe football is appalling. He has trivialised and undermined the seriousness of rape and anyone who has suffered sexual violence will rightly be angry." Pardew, whose most recent managerial appointment came to an abrupt end in November when he left Charlton, is not a regular guest on the programme and was called upon on Sunday only because the regular pundit Lee Dixon was ill. Although no decision has been made on whether to exclude Pardew permanently from the rota of ocassional pundits, insiders said it was safe to assume he would not be appearing on Match of the Day 2 for some time.

Well if you think it's ok to use the word rape in the context of a football match then fair enough. Sorry mate i'm a bit too old for emotions have you just sent me a selfie?

Sorry mate the use of the word rape and to put it into block capitals is uneccessary. The only person who ever used that was Alan Pardew and he had to apologise for it and rightly so. Football has a stupid venacular but rape is not used by the average ENGLISHMAN when discussing football. However for shit sports like Baseball and American Football it might well be.

I wouldn't trust Cuadrado to step up on to a treadmill without falling over.

I like Christiano Ronaldo but i also like Lionel Messi. But which one is better?

These games are a commercial money making enterprise. The match is more or less immaterial and anyone who thinks these games carry any weight for what's going to happen during the season is frankly deluded.

We played in the U.S. pre season a few years ago. Anyhow we were making a substitution and Zhirkov's coming on. I'm sure the P.A announcer dId it on purpose he said in a really strong American accent '' Coming on for Chelsea is no 11 Jerk Off. Cue 50.000 Yanks pissing themselves laughing.

I have to say i agree 100% with this. Surely these kids and there agents know that as soon as you sign for Chelsea there's the probability that you'll never kick a ball for us. It must be disheartening to have a huge life changing deal to play with a massive club when in reality you'll be spending it at a run of the mill Dutch club.

Bamford signing a new contract means Chelsea will have a stronger hand if he impresses at Palace. I can't see him ever kicking a ball for us he'll be gone in a season or two. That might be a cynical point of view but with our record with young players that's the only outcome i can see.

I've mentioned it before but that New York Bulls shirt is bloody horrible. The bulls look like they've just been dragged out of an abattoir

Very true. Kalas only touched the ball about 20 times in the whole game. He was asked to do a job and he did it. What price ?. Everton are going to be asking ridiculous money for someone who at the moment is fulfilling his potential in an average team. There is a chasm of difference between playing centre half for Everton where there is less scrutiny and pressure week in week out. Playing for Chelsea with the media spotlight on you 24-7 is a totally different mindset. It just shows with all the terrible publicity John Terry has had it's never affected his game. John Stones is a good promising player is he a 40 million pound centre half ? no way.

If Everton dig there heels in (which they are) we would have to break the transfer fee for a British defender. I have my doubts it will happen and i don't think it's worth the risk. How much will Everton want 40 million? bollocks to that

Scott Sinclair as well.

True to a certain extent in cricket the captain lives and dies by his on field tactical decisions. In football the captain is more of a figurehead for the club as a whole.

Someone had a word in Delph's ear take your pick from agent, family or mates and said '' Your a twat if you turn this move down''. Which is true but why go through the ridiculous charade just a week previous. Benteke leaving might have had a bearing but it's his decision and ultimately he's the one who ends up looking ridiculous.

Nailed it excellent post.

No offence meant son, anyone who's first language is not English has my respect.

30 million for Stones is a ridiculous amount of money to spend. You might well be right about Kalas, but Stones playing well for Everton who struggled most of last season and playing for us and playing in the Champions League is a massive step up and i personally don't think it's worth the risk especially if we have to pay an extortionate fee.

No fair enough it just made me laugh.

You don't expect a lot from our young players but you want to start with Zouma and R.L.C?. As for Mourinho you want him to wear silk suits why? is he like Clark Kent when he's not wearing one?. You do know he stopped wearing that coat in your avatar because opposition fans where taking the piss out of it. But i must congratulate you on the most inappropriate use of any word i've ever seen hegemony ha ha.

Which is why i said for arguement's sake. I can see us only bringing in two more players i can't count Falcao who is the new Michael Owen. Owen who could have gone anywhere in Europe after leaving Real Madrid and chose fucking Newcastle, the same with Falcao who chose Monaco. Both have knackered knees and are content to sit on the bench for the right price.
