Good points but I think it's a bit harsh. The Community Shield game was Bran's only bad game and everyone's allowed a day off.Bellamy tore apart Mikel in the City game and we were raped all over the pitch before Etoo's goal so you can hardly blame IVan specifically.

I expected Connor Clifford to get some minutes but Billy makes sense.It looks like at the moment he's our 3rd choice RB. Strange that there's no mention of Borini

Kinda concerned about Lamps,I think he was expected a couple of weeks ago.Guess not everyone is Drogba.

Right-o.My memory gets worse by the day. At least I can keep track of our win ratio

Seeing as we'll field a younger team I'd expect one of the reserve keepers to be on the bench,probably Taylor.

KakaDaniel AlvesRobinhoAgueroTorresNeymarAllegedly we went for some of them and it means that we were willing to break the bank.In most of those cases it was either the player that wanted to move elsewhere or the selling club playing hardball. Not really arguing against the fact that we're trying to break even but I never believed that Roman Abramovich got somehow bored or unwilling to spend,the opposition fans would love that to be true but it's just a load of ballacks. We can and will spend (very) big if our football board along with our coach decides that the investment is worth it.

I've actually heard some fans saying that he'll have to go if he fails to deliver anything in the next two years.

Guilty Are you claiming that it is not possible for him to last less than Ranieri?I'd love Carlo to stay for at least 5 years but will anyone be honestly shocked if he does not? After what we Chelsea fans have seen in the last 5 years? Probably guilty but I'm more prone to pointing out our weaknesses (only a fool would claim that we have none) or arguing about our faults instead of joining a wankfest that is only expected when a team performs so well.

No,he's still prone to defensive errors and his positioning lets him down sometimes.He wouldn't make a good CB. He has been our Superman so far this season but let's not get overhyped.

Nah that's genuine delusion,if you want bitterness Liverpools is the way to go. Who can blame the few deluded Arse fans when one of their players is that far from the reality,surely Wenger can be blamed for that kind of attitude.

I'll be happy with a draw,it'll be an improvement over last season and I doubt many teams will get away with 3 points in the City Of Manchester stadium.

:lol: They seriously need to release more stuff like that. I LOL'ed @ the Kakuta part. Was Essien chasing Kaby? BTW why did Gael wear a #31 shirt?

Good news(?). Wish him well.

...and the most deluded footballer is..

He clearly has a good relationship with Roman Abramovich and the Football Board,he'll have to utterly fail to get himself in trouble. I'm more interested in Arnesen's contract and whether he'll last after this season.

Nevermind then,his name really makes searching for information harder.

People are just posting random line-ups.Much like the prediction thread.

Why is everyone posting their own line-up? This is a discussion thread..

I'd love them to start,probably used the wrong word,younger is what I meant.

Certainly weaker than a Drogba-Malouda side.

Should and could have scored >10.Some disappointing finishing from Drogba and Kalou but they were great at creating chances.No Kakuta or Sturridge must mean that we'll start a very weak side against Newcastle. Happy for Bruma who did well. 4-0 sounds boring..

I was merely stating a fact whereas you're trying to belittle Mourinho's success for whatever reason. And I'm not even getting into an Internet debate with you,I've been online long enough to know how they all end up

....which is exactly why you can't compare their successes,you'll ultimately end up twisting facts to suit your "truth".

Arguable. Jose won a double too,it may not have been the traditional one but he had to beat tougher teams in the cup,not to mention winning the league with 95 points. Besides I loved Mourinho's controversy.
